Ike Barinholtz Joins Amy Schumer's Upcoming Comedy

The comedy will be Schumer’s first since her breakout hit ' Trainwreck .' THR is reporting Ike Barinholtz , who will be seen in this weekend’s Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising , has joined Amy Schumer and Goldie Hawn in the duo’s untitled mother-daughter comedy at Fox. Jonathan Levine will direct the feature, which is being produced by Paul Feig and Chernin Entertainment. The comedy will be Schumer’s first since her breakout hit Trainwreck and is an action-comedy in the vein of Paul Feig’s The Heat. It centers on a mother-daughter duo trapped in a vacation gone wrong. Barinholtz will play Schumer’s brother. Shooting is due to start in June. Barinholtz is ushering in a busy summer. He reprises his role as Seth Rogen’s best friend in Universal’s Neighbors 2, whose premiere was held Monday in Westwood, and co-stars in Warner Bros.’ Suicide Squad, the buzzy action movie featuring the DC Comics characters, which is set to open Aug. 5. Barinholtz also wrote, with his writ

Blu-ray Review: 'Trainwreck'

The hilarious Amy Schumer/Judd Apatow comedy looks and sound great, but 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. At least the home release more than makes up for its failures in story, with great audio/video and a deep collection of supplements. The Movie - 4/5 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-t

2015 Summer Movie Report Card

Team Sandwich breaks down their Summer movie faves and hates. Story by Matt Cummings, John Meneghetti, and Brandon Wolfe. With the 2015 summer movie schedule winding down, it's time for us to look back on the winners, losers, disappointments, and clear bombs. Although August has experienced a blood bath, down over 60% from the same month last year, the industry is up a mere 0.2% for the season. But that's what you get when your second highest-grossing August movie is The Fantastic Four . Yikes. Still, it was a fruitful summer, filled with lots of surprises, big performances, and incredible duds. Did your movies make any of our lists? Read on to find out! We've also included reviews for every review here, so feel free to back to them. To be clear, the Summer movie season is defined as the first Friday in May through the Labor Day Weekend.

#BoxOffice Report: #MissionImpossible Tops Bad #FantasticFour

The Fantastic Four utterly fails as Ethan Hunt triumphs again. Story by Matt Cummings In a devastating blow to one of 20th Century Fox's tentpoles, The Fantastic Four drew one of the lowest opening box office tallies for a super hero film, bringing in just $26.2 million from 3,995 US theaters. That's after receiving a crushing 8% from Rotten Tomatoes critics and a tidal wave of poor audience feedback including a 'C-' from CinemaScore. Perhaps what's more surprising is that the Tom Cruise spy action/thriller Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation easily won the weekend box office with an estimated $29.4 million from 3,988 theaters. That down just 48% from its opening, bringing its 10-day total to $109.5m. We were estimating a much closer race, and perhaps even a defeat for Ethan Hunt and his IMF team. There's little doubt that Josh Trank's film was torpedoed both internally and externally, capping off with a Tweet on Thursday by the directo

#BoxOffice Report: Cruise Cruises to Easy #MissionImpossible Win

The star is back on top as Vacation 's road was bumpy. Story by Matt Cummings Paramount's Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation easily won the weekend box office with an estimated $56 million, ranking it as second all-time for a M:I movie - that honor goes to MI:II at just above $57m. The well received Tom Cruise follow up has been gaining traction among critics for weeks, although tracking numbers were actually painting it for a much softer opening of around $40m. Rogue Nation 's final numbers represent the higher end of expectations, and could actually rise once all the numbers are in. A 9:50am screening on Sunday at a local theater actually saw several people waiting in line to buy a morning ticket. With support like that, it's possible we could see it become the No. 1 M:I film ever. With a strong No.1 return, Actor Tom Cruise is definitely back as a bankable action star, perhaps the only one next to Dwayne Johnson. Rogue Nation opened with a s

#BoxOffice Report: #AntMan Beats Bad #Pixels

Adam Sandler continues to disappoint in a very weak weekend Story by Matt Cummings In one of the closest Box Office races this year, Marvel Studios' Ant-Man held on to the number 1 spot, narrowly beating the competition, with an estimated $24.65 million. The Adam Sandler comedy Pixels arrived in second with $24m. But even as the battle raged all weekend - with Pixels beating Ant-Man on Friday, then the positions flip-flopping at least one more time between the days - it became clear box office hauls across the board were lower than expected. But the sting behind Sandler's latest disappointment is particularly pronounced. Stilted by a juvenile script and sadly familiar characterizations of hot women needing ugly, stupid men, Pixels has been lambasted by both critics (earning only 19% on Rotten Tomatoes) and receiving only a 'B' on Cinemascore. Its $24m haul is among the lowest Sandler-led films and perhaps a warning that his stature has finally

#BoxOffice Report: 'Ant-Man' Wins Tiny Weekend; 'Trainwreck' Surprises

Even an original Avenger can't bring home the ants. Story by Matt Cummings Marvel Studios can breathe a sigh of relief (sort of), as their record of 11 consecutive #1 openings remains intact. But while Ant-Man won the weekend with an estimated $57.23 million, the box office celebration is sure to be short. That's because early hopes of $65m fell as Friday turned to Saturday, led by 'seen that before in Iron Man ' comments. By the time it was done, the Paul Rudd heist comedy had barely beaten 2008's The Incredible Hulk , which holds the lowest opening among the 12 Marvel Studios films at $55.41m. Coming in at number 2 was Minions , which took it on the chin, plunging 57% to $49.27m. And that number was boosted by a ridiculous 4,300 theater count, which means it could have slid even further had it gotten the typical 3,100 treatment. The highly-anticipated Universal/Illumination Entertainment spin-off suffered from both poor reviews and perhaps la

Vacation Reboot Moved Up To July

The Griswolds are now taking a summer vacation. By Brandon Wolfe Warner Bros. has shuffled the Griswolds’ latest vacation plans as it has bumped up the release date of the Vacation reboot/sequel from October 9 to July 31. This is perhaps a huge vote of confidence in the film, as its strongest competition in October was the Steve Jobs biopic, whereas now it’s going up against Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation – another film kicked up to summer unexpectedly from a late-year release - which opens the same day (not to mention all the other big summer contenders that will be in theaters around that time). However, the only true comedy competition Vacation will face will come from Trainwreck , which opens two weeks prior and will probably prove less formidable a foe by the time the Griswolds come out of the gate, so maybe this is a shrewd move. Vacation stars Ed Helms, Leslie Mann, Christina Applegate, Chris Hemsworth, Chevy Chase and Beverly D’Angelo. Discuss this story w
