Pineapple Express


Seth Rogen is ever improving his popularity on the big screen as he rolls out brilliantly funny performance after brilliantly funny performance.

His most recent film, Pineapple Express, stands shoulder to shoulder with his previous hits Knocked Up and Superbad for entertainment and humour.

It is a great film, ram-packed with comedy from beginning to end, not to be missed by comedy fans.

For my full review, take a look at Movieriot.co.uk.

Yogi Bear hits Hollywood


The hit cartoon series Yogi Bear, is taking to the big screen thanks to Warner Bros and Surf's Up co-writer Ash Brannon.

According to MovieWeb, the film will follow the likes of Alvin and the Chipmunks in presenting a live action film with elements of CGI. Yogi Bear and sidekick Boo Boo will of course be CG animations with the 'real world' around them.

The series, which has been running since 1961, depicts Yogi and Boo Boo getting into trouble and forever causing strife for Ranger Smith.

Depp's new Disney projects revealed


Hollywood heart throb, Johnny Depp, has been signed to three new Disney projects on top of his already busy filming schedule.

Variety (the entertainment industry newspaper) revealed last week that Depp will be returning as the obscure yet, lovable Captain Jack Sparrow for a fourth installment of the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

Pirates of the Caribbean producer, Jerry Bruckheimer, will also be working with Depp on a separate project as he produces a new take on the Lone Ranger where Depp will star as the Ranger's sidekick Tonto.

Depp will be collaborating once again with his old friend Tim Burton for an adaptation of the Disney classic, Alice in Wonderland. Depp will star as the Mad Hatter in a film that will be made up of 3D animation and performance capture technology.

Dispatch Online writes: 'The announcements for Ranger, Wonderland and “an additional role” were made before a crowd of roaring fans in Hollywood last week when Depp appeared at the Walt Disney Showcase, a preview of the studio’s productions over the next few years.'

Depp is currently signed up or filming for the likes of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, The Rum Diary and Sin City 3 (to name but a few), so we can expect to see a lot more of the actor on our screens during the next few years.
