Johnny Depp must be a kindred spirit to Hunter S. Thompson (as well as Tim Burton), as he is starring in his third Thompson written and/or inspired movie. The Rum Diary, for which the first trailer was released, has him playing a slightly off center journalist who moves to Puerto Rico to start afresh. While…
WOW! An international trailer for the sure to be train wreck Jack and Jill has surfaced and it’s just as unfunny as the domestic trailer. I’m guessing Happy Madison, the brains behind this venture, knows this movie, which has Adam Sandler playing both roles of fraternal twins (one of which is an annoying woman), is…

“Adventures in Babysitting” has just been updated with a healthy helping of filth. Actually, if there was a word I could think of that describes the level of vulgarity and foulness in a more disturbing way, that word would better describe The Sitter.
