ON DIGITAL HD OCTOBER 20, 2015 ON BLU-RAY™, DVD & ON DEMAND NOVEMBER 10, 2015 FROM UNIVERSAL PICTURES HOME ENTERTAINMENT Three-time Emmy® nominee Amy Schumer (“Inside Amy Schumer”) stars as a commitment-phobic journalist in Trainwreck, the film Fandango calls “the funniest movie of the year,” is coming to Digital HD October 20, 2015, and Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand on November 10, 2015, from Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Schumer takes her undeniable talents to the big screen tossing aside rom-com conventions with a timely and outrageously funny portrait of an unapologetically independent career woman whose hard-partying personal life is turned upside down when she meets Mr. Might-Be-Right. Directed and produced by comedy guru Judd Apatow (Bridesmaids, The 40-Year-Old Virgin, “Girls”), Trainwreck UNRATED arrives on Blu-ray™ & DVD with even more hysterical moments, including deleted scenes, gag reel, line-o-rama & more! Since she was a little girl, Amy (Am

Magnolia Pictures will release DRUNK STONED BRILLIANT DEAD: THE STORY OF NATIONAL LAMPOON In Theaters, On Demand and In Theaters September 25th. An inside look at the rise and fall of the legendary humor magazine that launched dozens of careers and broke thousands of taboos. From the 1970s thru the 1990s, there was no hipper, no more outrageous comedy in print than The National Lampoon , the groundbreaking humor magazine that pushed the limits of taste and acceptability – and then pushed them even harder. Parodying everything from politics, religion, entertainment and the whole of American lifestyle, the Lampoon eventually went on to branch into successful radio shows, record albums, live stage revues and movies, including Animal House and National Lampoon’s Vacation . The publication launched the careers of legends like John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest and Gilda Radner , who went on to gigs at Saturday Night Live and stardom.

The hilarious Amy Schumer/Judd Apatow comedy needs an edit. Review by Matt Cummings If there's one thing that can be said about the Amy Schumer/Judd Apatow comedy Trainwreck , it's that it lovingly shows how hot-mess relationships can come clean and eventually endure. Unfortunately, its long runtime reduces what could have been the comedy of the year. As a child of divorce, Amy (Amy Schumer) has been raised to believe that "monogamy isn't realistic," leading to a series of one-night stands that could establish a record in New York City. Prone to drinking, swearing, and generally making bad choices, Amy is a hot mess, until she meets the orthopedic surgeon Aaron (Bill Hader), as calm and normal as they come. Soon, Amy begins to fall in love with him, appreciating his down-to-earth style even though he rubs elbows with some of the finest athletes in sports (including LeBron James). But when a death in family further separates Amy from her sister (Br

Here's a new featurette for TRAINWRECK . Post up with LeBron James, Judd Apatow, Bill Hader and Amy Schumer as they discuss the NBA superstar’s crossover role in the new comedy starring Schumer, Hader and James alongside Brie Larson, John Cena, Vanessa Bayer, Mike Birbiglia, Ezra Miller, Dave Attell and Tilda Swinton opens in theaters this Friday! No contemporary filmmaker has chronicled the messy human experience with the eye and ear of a comedic cultural anthropologist like Judd Apatow. Hits as varied as those he’s directed, like Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and those he’s produced, like Superbad and Bridesmaids, are all unified by their honest, unflinching, comic look at how complicated it is to grow up in the modern world. Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy star, together in Trainwreck, written by and starring Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) as a woman who lives her life without apologies

’80s icon heads back to the playhouse. By Brandon Wolfe Pee-wee Herman will make his long-awaited return on Netflix , as the streaming giant has announced that it will exclusively premiere Pee-wee’s Big Holiday , the third film starring Paul Reubens’ iconic character. Reubens will produce the film alongside Judd Apatow. John Lee, a veteran of Comedy Central’s Broad City and Inside Amy Schumer , will direct from a script by Reubens and Paul Rust. Production begins in March. The film centers around Pee-wee’s meeting with a mysterious stranger that inspires the grey-suited goofball take his first-ever holiday (which, wasn’t what he did in Pee-wee’s Big Adventure technically taking a holiday, or am I too hung up on the British sense of the word?). It is the first film to feature the character since 1988’s Big Top Pee-wee . Discuss this story with fellow SJF fans on Facebook .

Apatow has also built a history of helping break distinctive new comedy voices into the mainstream, from Seth Rogen to Lena Dunham among many others. Now, in his fifth feature film as a director, Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy star, together in Trainwreck , written by and starring Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) as a woman who lives her life without apologies, even when maybe she should apologize. Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s ( Schumer ) head by her rascal of a dad ( Colin Quinn )

Like the director, plot details remain under wraps, though Paul Reubens has said shooting starts in 2015 What should you get a Pee-Wee Herman fan for the holidays? How about a subscription to Netflix , which is nearing a deal to distribute the Pee-Wee Herman movie that Judd Apatow is producing, multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap . While a Netflix spokesperson cautioned that there’s no deal in place yet, an individual close to the project told TheWrap “it moved to Netflix a gazillion months ago.” The Pee Wee Herman movie had previously been set up at Universal, though a studio spokesperson told TheWrap the “Pee-Wee project is no longer with Universal.” The one-and-only Paul Reubens will return to reprise his beloved Pee-Wee character, and he also co-wrote the script with comedian Paul Rust. Apatow will produce via his Apatow Productions banner. Like the film’s director, plot details remain unknown, though Reubens has said that there is a filmm

The trio behind " Dick in a Box ", " Like a Boss " and "I'm on a Boat" will be bringing their comedic and musical talents to the big screen. Universal has acquired an untitled project with The Lonely Island (comprised of Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone ). They will also star in the comedy, which is set in the music world. Judd Apatow is producing via his Judd Apatow Productions banner, along with Samberg, Schaffer and Taccone. Universal’s senior vp of production Erik Baiers will oversee the project for the studio. The comedy group The Lonely Island found fame for their work on Saturday Night Live, where Samberg was a cast member and Schaffer and Taccone were writers.

Neighbors . Everybody needs good neighbors. Sadly this is not the situation in which Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne find themselves when Zac Efron and his frat brothers move in down the street. For a quick taste of the grown-up way in which the parties deal with their respective grievances, check out the new trailer for Nicholas Stoller's Neighbors (American spelling; no U). Previously known as Townies, the film's prank-war screenplay comes from by Judd Apatow alumni Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O'Brien. Stoller's most recent gig behind the camera was The Five Year Engagement. He also made Forgetting Sara Marshall and Get Him To The Greek, and co-wrote The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted. Along with Rogen, Byrne and Efron, Neighbors stars Dave Franco, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Lisa Kudrow . Please Leave A Comment- Source- Empire

THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT Movie Review By: Matt C If you own a lot of movies, think about those which offer any amount of deleted scenes. These tidbits offer unique insights into directions the film could have taken; watch the scenes from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan or Aliens and don't tell me those shouldn't have been included. But for the most part, deleted scenes end up on the cutting room floor for a reason: they drag down the story, or take it in a different direction that could ultimately lose audiences. That's the problem with The Five Year Engagement, a movie that doesn't know when to say when and ultimately loses audiences with both its weirdness and caravan of unnecessarily strange characters. Engagement tells the story of Tom ( Jason Segel , The Muppets) and Violet ( Emily Blunt , The Adjustment Bureau), who decide to get married after meeting the previous New Years in San Francisco. Tom is a successful sous chef, while Violet is hoping to land
