REASONABLE REMAKES: Harry and the Hendersons

May 9th, 2012 Justin Proper

Under The Gun is continuing our efforts to bring you more original and engaging content with REASONABLE REMAKES. Written by film-nerd Justin Proper, this column aims to highlight Hollywood’s forgotten gems and spark debate.

You see, we’ve grown tired of Hollywood rehashing ideas we’re old enough to remember. Why remake something the majority of the planet still remembers and loves deeply when there are tons of films that deserve a chance to be as great as modern technology and skill can make them? If you agree, this column is for you.

The 80′s had a lot of movies …

MOVIE TRAILER: The Five-Year Engagement (Redband)

April 22nd, 2012 James Shotwell

Just a week ahead of the film’s official release, a redband trailer for The Five-Year Engagement has appeared online.

Providing us two minutes of almost entirely new footage, the redband trailer for The Five-Year Engagement gets naughty without ever being dirty. It’s clear the original trailers only scratched the surface of a much bigger plot and now, moreso than ever, we cannot wait for the film’s release. Check out the redband trailer for yourself, after the jump.

The Five-Year Engagement is not the Summer’s most anticipated film, but it’s definitely on our must-see list.

Jason Segel was the celebrity host of Saturday Night Live this week and brought along his latest costars for the show.

Assisting in two skits, including the opening monologue, Segel was joined by the one and only Muppets. Songs, jokes, and on-the-nose humor as only The Muppets can do. You can view both sketches after the jump.

We have said it before and will say it a few more times before Wednesday, but The Muppets opens in theaters on November 23. If you are not already planning on going, cancel whatever you think is better and commit yourself to hanging …

Walter-Gary

[Another] MOVIE TRAILER: The Muppets

October 13th, 2011 James Shotwell

A new trailer for The Muppets has arrived online and you can view all the puppet-y fun right here on UTG!

We’ve seen a lot of adds for the upcoming return of The Muppets, but this is actually the first trailer to show anything related to the plot of the film. Apparently Amy Adams and Jason Segel, along with a muppet named Walter, travel from their home (we’re guessing the midwest) to Hollywood in search of the Muppets. Upon arriving, the trio realizes no one cares about The Muppets anymore and then (of course) decide to help them out. …

MOVIE REVIEW: Bad Teacher

June 24th, 2011 James Shotwell

“f there is one thing we are learning in Summer 2011, it is that Hollywood can turn anything into a bad idea. It used to be people dreaded sequels, now we dread superhero films (thanks Green Lantern!) and after this weekend, some may even be more cautious of raunchy comedy. “
