Tower Heist

Director: Brett Ratner
Screenwriter: Adam Cooper, Bill Collage, Russell Gewirtz, Rawson Marshall Thurber, Ted Griffin, Leslie Dixon, Noah Baumbach, Jeff Nathanson
Starring: Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, Matthew Broderick, Téa Leoni, Gabourey Sidibe, Casey Affleck, Stephen Henderson, Judd Hirsch, Michael Pena, Alan Alda

The Gist of It: Brett Ratner has really got the troops together for this traditional heist movie.  Alan Alda plays a rich guy that steals a ton of money from his employees (who include the talents of Ben Stiller, Eddie Murphy, and Matthew Broderick).  But these guys know nothing about heists so they enlist the help of Eddie Murphy to make it happen. Fun ensues.

My Thoughts: Brett Ratner is one of those love em or hate em directors.  I don’t mind him and I’m sure this movie is going to be fun.  The cast is quite impressive as well and I am excited to see Eddie Murphy do a movie that doesn’t involve seven of himself  or his trying to become a better father.

A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas 3D

Director: Todd Strauss-Schulson
Screenwriter: Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg
Starring: John Cho, Kal Penn, Paula Garcés, Danneel Harris, Tom Lennon, Danny Trejo, Elias Koteas, Eddie Kaye Thomas, David Krumholtz, Patton Oswalt, Neil Patrick Harris
The Gist of It: The title really says it all.  Harold and Kumar get stoned, kill Santa, and save Christmas.

My Thoughts: This movie is going to be wild, I can’t wait. But yes, it is also going to be really stupid. In NPH we trust.
