About russ

Russ Ryan is an avid fan of movie posters -- sometimes even more so than the actual movies themselves! But he's not just a poster geek, he also was lucky enough to have a film produced by the makers of AMERICAN PIE -- the classic, unforgettable, much less successful National Lampoon presentation, REPLI-KATE, starring Ali Landry, James Roday, and Eugene Levy.

The Hangover Gets Hung

hungover2b

I don’t have HBO anymore, but I can almost see bucking up for HUNG. That Alexander Payne guy knows what he’s doing!

From the man who brought you Sideways, About Schmidt, and Election, here’s a short film he did for Paris Je T’aime.

Oh yeah, and The Hangover has gotten a lot of love, too — especially from Mike Tyson.

When Larry Met Woody

whatever worksThese guys seem perfect together, but the reviews for WHATEVER WORKS so far have been mixed.

Regardless of what the critics say, they’re both comic geniuses, so it still won’t curb my enthusiasm…er, whatever.

Play Moneyball!

moneyball bookI’m bummed. Was really looking forward to seeing how Steven Soderbergh was going to pull off the adaptation of Michael Lewis’s bestselling baseball book about the Oakland A’s, MONEYBALL, starring Brad Pitt — that is, before Sony decided to yank it out of sight.

But let’s hope Pitt & Soderbergh can come up with the dough sooner than later…

Flickr Pick: The Rock Vs. Jason


Walking Fast

Hey, who needs another Freddy Vs. Jason rematch? They should bring back Sheriff Buford Pusser from the original WALKING TALL.

But I can understand why The Rock Dwayne Johnson had his character’s name changed to Chris Vaughn…You can’t go around town kicking butt with the name Pusser.

Where Have You Gone, Sean?

Last week, The Hollywood Reporter wrote that Sean Penn is taking time off from making movies to spend more time with his family, so I couldn’t help but wonder…What if he had taken the last 20+ years off? Who else could’ve possibly filled those shoes?

Jeremy Piven Doing Mamet’s Next Movie?

mercury rising piven

Kind of an old story, but…According to Variety, Jeremy Piven, a.k.a. Ari from ENTOURAGE, recently dropped out of David Mamet’s broadway production of Speed-the-Plow due to mercury poisoning.

Let’s hope they can put that all behind them and work together again soon…
