First Hot Rod Teaser Clip with SNL's Andy Samberg - Removed

I'm not sure what's happening with this movie, it's supposed to be released on August 3rd, but it hasn't even begun any marketing. It has no poster and this is the first real clip at all. However it seems like it'll be a damn funny film, although it will be a challenge living up to some great comedies this summer. What it really has pulling for it is the fact that Andy Samberg, one half of the duo who came up with the immensely successful Lazy Sunday song for SNL, stars as the lead and the film is directed by an SNL director Akiva Schaffer.

In Hot Rod, Samberg is a self-proclaimed stuntman named Rod Kimble who is preparing for a jump over fifteen buses in an attempt to raise money for his abusive stepfather Frank's life-saving heart operation. Sound good enough? Check out this first ever clip for Hot Rod!

Worth Watching - Apr 29: Paris, Je T'aime (Paris, I Love You) Trailer

This is one of the best trailers I've ever watched (what a day for bests). Just something about it almost brings a tear to my eye. The way its edited showing the vast numbers of great actors involved and their stories and the music and the mood, everything is just wonderful about it. Unfortunately the movie doesn't live up as much to the trailer, but it's still an incredibly unique film worth seeing if you have a chance to catch it in its limited run. It's called Paris, Je T'aime (in English meaning Paris, I Love You) and features 18 short stories of love set in various districts of the beautiful city of Paris, France each told by a different legendary filmmaker.
