Although the trailer for Andrew Fleming’s upcoming R-rated comedy looks pretty funny and provocative, I’m so sure yet whether the actual film delivers the goods. I guess we’ll see about that Aug. 27, 2008, when the film opens in theaters.
Yahoo! Movies on Wednesday premiered two all-new clips from the film, which you can check out below. The first one is from a hilarious musical piece called “Rock Me Sexy Jesus.” In the second clip, lead actor Steve Coogan introduces co-star Catherine Keener to his new play, “Hamlet 2.”
Essentially, the film follows a high school drama teacher who creates a risqué sequel to Shakespeare’s “Hamlet.” David Arquette, Melonie Diaz and Amy Poehler co-star. Personally, I think the song in the clip below is hilarious. What do you think? Enjoy!

Cinematical today premiered the first official poster for Barry Levinson’s upcoming dramedy “What Just Happened?”, which premiered at this year’s Cannes Film Festival. You can check it out below.
The film is based on the book by Art Linson and tells the story of a stressed Hollywood producer (De Niro) who’s struggling with his latest feature film. In case you haven’t heard about the movie yet, it boasts an impressive cast, including Bruce Willis, Stanley Tucci, Kristen Stewart, Sean Penn and Catherine Keener.
We’ll probably get to see this in theaters sometime later this year.

It wasn't just the weather that was gloomy at the 61st Cannes Film Festival. By the time the skies above southern France briefly cleared for a few days during the second week of the festival, the international press corps had been infected by a mass plague, not unlike the one portrayed in this opening night selection "Blindness," done in reverse . instead of losing their sight, hundreds of journalists stumbled around in a fog, obliged to do nothing but look, and after 12-plus days of looking at a selection of tasteful, well-made and entirely bleak movies, society's rules were breaking down into sweaty anarchy. Those waiting in line for press screenings, always ready to devolve into contentious, multilingual shoving matches, were especially cranky. The traditional applause during a film's closing credits was muted at best, nonexistent or drowned out by boos at the worst. Walking out of a
