We reported the upcoming Harold Ramis (Ghostbusters, Caddyshack) comedy, Year One,  was having some trouble with the MPAA getting down to a PG-13 rating. It looks like that has been resolved as THR reports the film has been re-cut and given a PG-13 rating for “for crude and sexual content throughout, brief strong language and comic violence.” The film, starring Jack Black and Michael Cera, will hit theaters June 19th, 2009.

Looking forward to Year One?

Here is the new trailer for the Harold Ramis (Caddyshack, Groundhog Day) comedy The Year One starring Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda) and Michael Cera (Nick and Nora’s Infinite Playlist, Superbad). Check it out below or in HD on YouTube:

Because director Adam McKay knows what will stand the test of time and what won’t. And so does Ferrell and John C. Reilly. They proved this point with Tallageda Nights, which they were all a part of. McKay was also responsible for Anchorman, which may be the most recited/imitated comedy since Caddyshack. One-liners are the key to these movies, and Step Brothers is a feature-length collection of Ferrell/Reilly one-liners. From Reilly’s “Dad, I’m saying this because I love you: FUCK YOU!” to Ferrell’s “SHH! You’re waking the neighbors!!!” while he attempts to bury Reilly’s Dale alive, the movie’s sole intention is to be repeated by adolescents and boy-men whose most recent purchase was most likely a keg. And while it’s easy to argue that these are the only people who find this kind of crude, rudimentary humor funny and worth recitation, that does not rightly explain the over 100 million domestic box office dollars Step Brothers brought in. Men over 25 liked this crude movie, and women did too. They are just less likely to admit it. Another group of people also enjoyed the film but won’t admit- at least not fully. They are called movie critics.

So 2008 is over, come on, it’s time to move on. Here are 50 great reasons to go to the theater this year:

My Bloody Valentine 3-D (Jan 16^th)

Synopsis: After surviving a fatal accident that claimed the lives of five of men in a mine shaft, Harry Warden performed a horrific killing spree on Valentines night in the town of Harmony, killing 22 people before he was shot to death.

Why You Should See It: Early screening reports have said there is more sex, limbs, and buckets of blood than one can handle. The 3-D gimmick is the only reason this is on my list. If implemented right it should be a great time at the movies.
