Dodgeball A True Underdog Story News
'Dodgeball' Sequel In The Works
It's only fitting that the hit 2004 comedy Dodgeball was subtitled "A True Underdog Story" considering it cost just $20 million to make and earned over $167 million worldwide. So given that fact, you would assume a sequel would be a no brainer.
Yet for nearly a decade now, the only thing stars Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn have been dodging is questions about when they were going to reunite.
Until now, that is, as according to The Hollywood Reporter, Stiller and Vaughn are teaming up once again for "Dodgeball 2." Hey, better late than never.

'Medium' Recap: 'The Medium is the Message'
Last week's episode of "Medium" was the type where the audience knows who the villain is before Allison does, and so the mystery is more about finding out why and how they'll stop him. The show doesn't blatantly tell us who is to blame, but enough clues can be picked up early on that you're staring at the screen going 'come on Allison, he's eeeeevil!' Meanwhile Joe gets the bestest job ever and hates it, and the Zodiac killer is found ... er ... the "Libra" killer.
The show starts out with a writer sits by the bedside of a dying cancer patient, and tries to get him to admit he is the inf...

Justin Long Shows His Darker Side In 'After.Life'
Justin Long is the deadpan Mac guy and star of comedies like Dodgeball, Waiting and He's Just Not That Into You. He got really serious for the horror thriller "After.Life," so you're about to see a darker side to him.
"That's more of a lead part but it's by far the most dramatic, intense movie I've ever been a part of and ever been asked to do," Long said. "I'm going through this nervous breakdown. I'm just unraveling throughout the movie."
The premise is either supernaturally conflicted or just plain sick and twisted. "My girlfriend dies in the beginning and she's being held capt...

Back in March, the Charlie's Angels star told TV host Oprah Winfrey she was mad about Long. She said her romance with the Dodgeball actor was "healthy, productive, supportive and full of humor". A spokesman for Barrymore tells Star magazine, "I can confirm the split but have no other comment."
The couple started dating in August after meeting on the set of upcoming movie He's Just Not That Into You.

Supporting Superhero: A Look At The Stand-Out Film Roles Of Jason Bateman
In the early part of his career, Jason Bateman was known as the cute sandy haired boy from the wholesome TV family. Beginning with Little House on the Prairie and taking it through "Silver Spoons" (where as the best friend he became part of the extended family) and "Valerie," he wore that role like it was his own skin. Only as he aged (like with 2001's "Some Of My Best Friends" and later with the critically acclaimed "Arrested Development") did he start to include sarcasm into his portrayals, opening up a world of possibilities for him to steal scenes in a number of feature films.

Funny Film Cameos
A cameo used to refer to a famous person who made an appearance in a film as him or herself. Now actors play small parts as a character in a film for comic relief. Most cameos are non-credited due to the shortness of the screen time or because they are so famous they don't need a big credit. Some are publicity stunts. Others pay tribute to that actor's work in a similar role, but they are all for the most part hilarious. Following are 10 of film's funniest cameos in no particular order:

Movies With Heart: The 100 Best 'Romdramedies' Of The Past 20 Years
There's the quintessential romantic comedy, and then there's the romdramedy. Similar to a dramedy (in which there is an equal balance of humor and serious content), a romdramedy combines comedy and drama with that mushy thing we call romance.
This is not a list of the best films over the past 20 years. Rather it is a list that gives preferences to those films that best combine all three elements - romance, comedy and drama.
Films like Magnolia and The Matrix were barred from competition, while films like Down with Love were considered (however, that one didn't make the cut)....

The Frat Pack: Pledging to Make Audiences Laugh
A majority of comedic films released over the past 10 years have fallen into either one of two categories: stupid with borderline inappropriate humor or stupid with completely inappropriate humor. Occasionally, a comedy comes along that doesn't quite fit either of these descriptions (i.e., Wedding Crashers, which is completely inappropriate but far from stupid). But these films are few and far between.
However, it is important to note that the word "stupid" is not meant to have a negative connotation here. True, it is sometimes more satisfying to watch a comedy based entirely on witty ...

The Top Ten Oddest Athlete Cameos
We have to say, the process of compiling a list of the best athlete cameos has been done to death. We get it; Keith Hernandez was hilarious in Seinfeld (he was), and Mr. Burns' All Star softball team episode of The Simpsons is a classic (it is). We wanted to delve a bit deeper though, really flesh out some more obscure and odd cameos' from our favorite stars in the world of sports.

'Best Of The Little Guy' Sports Movies
One week later, I'm still walking in circles around my house: pinching myself, reading newspaper articles, Tivoing ESPN, and gazing up at pictures of David Tyree. I just can't believe it. The New York Giants, my team, my sloppy, win ugly, stab me in the heart again and again until I'm either screaming or crying or laughing like a crazy person Giants have done the impossible-- they defeated the big, bad, *perfect* New England Patriots in the Super Bowl.

Fresh Faces Bring Old School Suspense
Isolation- we've all dealt with it in some way in our lives. Whether it was that summer everyone went to camp but you, being the new guy at the office, or, in the case of Joel David Moore in Spiral, by possibly killing a slew of women. The key word there is possibly, because when you're seeing this Hitchcockien suspense driven film you only find out the truth at the end, after becoming invested in the characters so that the answer actually matters. Starpulse spoke with scribe/star Joel David Moore (Dodgeball, Art School Confidential) and co-writer Jeremy Boreing about the role of isolation ...

Justin Long was relieved during a recent trip to New Orleans, Louisiana when a man who chased him and his then-girlfriend down an alley turned out to be an autograph hunter - not a mugger. The Dodgeball star was worried about lawlessness in the city following news reports about the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and let his paranoia take over.
