Duchovny's cameo in Zoolander was a highlight of the film, showing his versatility outside of X-Files. Stiller gave Duchovny his choice of parts, showcasing the actor's talent and clout in the industry. Duchovny's commitment to his Zoolander role impressed co-stars, highlighting his dedication to the character.
David Duchovny's Zoolander scene is a particular highlight of the film, which is saying a lot considering Zoolander is packed with star-studded cameos.

Ben Affleck’s Only Horror Movie Was So Bad It Couldn’t Even Earn More Than $10 Million at Box Office
Ben Affleck’s done a lot in Hollywood, you know? He’s been in all sorts of movies, from those big action flicks to the tear-jerker dramas. But when the 51-year-old dipped his toes into horror with Phantoms back in ’98, it didn’t quite hit the mark.

The movie just couldn’t grab people’s attention, making less than 10 million bucks at the box office. Even though it had a cool idea and Affleck’s star power, Phantoms just didn’t live up to the hype, ending up as one of those forgettable horror flicks. It’s kinda curious why folks didn’t vibe with it and what it says about the actor’s career in movies.

Comedy feels like it's in a delicate state these days. Not only are studios avoiding tentpole comedy movies for the most part, but the onslaught of what many perceive as "cancel culture" has resulted in a little more caution when it comes to telling jokes, whether that's on the big screen or in comedy clubs. While there has been a lot of admirable progress with regards to cultural issues in comedy, the argument could be made that there is such a thing as being too sensitive, especially when it comes to an art form that is well-known for mining laughter from irreverence and provocation.
This careful approach to comedy has resulted in a lot of retrospective analysis of comedies from yesteryear, much of which often results in people saying, "You could never make that movie today." This has been applied to everything from "Blazing Saddles" (typically from people who don't...

The star-studded cast, including Dustin Hoffman and Ben Stiller, deliver nuanced performances that bring depth to their conflicted characters and family relationships.
While it is much easier said than done, a great range is vital for any actor or actress to succeed in entertainment. After all, there is a reason why the terms typecasting and pigeonholing exist in the industry.

In the clip, Ripa can be seen dressed in similar attire to what is worn by Kidman, along with a near step-by-step replication of Kidman from the hair, the dialogue and the scenery. The only difference is that instead of the AMC logo, it is a “Live” interpretation, as shown throughout.

Many classic comedies from the '70s and '80s face criticism today for their insensitive portrayal of several elements. Films like Tropic Thunder, Blazing Saddles, and Sixteen Candles are now seen as problematic due to outdated humor and stereotypes. The use of blackface, racial slurs, and trivialization of serious issues in these movies highlight their inability to align with contemporary values.
Many classic comedy movies incorporate jokes and humor that reflect the era in which they were created. However, as societal norms evolve over time, certain films may now be viewed as problematic due to changing standards of acceptability. While modern comedies often push boundaries with raunchy, R-rated content, they pale in comparison to the taboo-breaking humor found in films from the '70s and '80s.

A Back to the Future remake would risk spoiling the legacy of the original trilogy & is unnecessary. Michael J. Fox & Christopher Lloyd's iconic roles would be impossible to replace in any remake. Taking Bttf out of the 1980s would destroy its charm, as the original is still as enjoyable as ever.
There have been plenty of rumors about a potential Back to the Future reboot or remake over the years, but there are a few key reasons why this would be a bad idea. The original Back to the Future is an undeniable sci-fi classic, and it has become synonymous with 1980s cinema. The whole trilogy helped reshape the time travel subgenre, but this doesn't mean that more movies are necessary.

DreamWorks missed the opportunity to turn Megamind into a successful franchise like Shrek or Kung Fu Panda.
DreamWorks Animation has produced some iconic animated films over the last twenty years. The Shrek, Kung Fu Panda, and How to Train Your Dragon franchises are among the most recognizable properties in modern animation. They have also produced countless successful one-off movies, with 2010's Megamind as a prime example.
The Will Ferrell-starring flick followed the titular supervillain in his attempt to create a more powerful hero to fight. While it was a critical success, it didn't perform so well at the box office, grossing only $322 million on a $130 million budget, one of DreamWorks' lowest-grossing films of the 2010s.

Peter Farrelly reveals why There's Something About Mary 2 never happened. Unlike the case of Dumb and Dumber, the director felt that the story had ended. Cameron Diaz and Ben Stiller's careers were boosted by the film, as they both had iconic roles following the 1998 romantic comedy.

Director Peter Farrelly reveals there was an abandoned sequel to the iconic '90s comedy There's Something About Mary starring Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz, potentially titled There's Something Else About Mary.
One half of the filmmaking duo known as the Farrelly Brothers, Peter Farrelly recently disclosed (via ComicBook.com) that discussions about a potential sequel did arise within the studio following the success of the original film. However, he and his brother ultimately decided against it, feeling that the story had reached its natural conclusion. There was a fleeting consideration for a sequel titled There's Something Else About Mary, which would have delved into a risqué revelation about the character's past. Unfortunately, studio executives weren't keen on the idea, leading the Farrelly Brothers to abandon the concept altogether.

Mystery Men is a superhero parody that has aged well, critiquing superhero tropes before they became popular. The film has a strong cast that brings humor and humanity to their characters, making them memorable. The movie highlights the importance of embracing quirks and teamwork, mocking traditional heroics and grandiose villains.
Mystery Men is one of cinema's best parodies of superheroes, debuting twenty-five years before it would have been a far more relevant riff on the genre. Released in 1999 to mixed reviews and lackluster box office results, the comedy has developed a cult following in the subsequent years. Following a band of self-proclaimed superheroes, the Ben Stiller-led Mystery Men pokes consistent fun at the genre. While the primary frame of reference for the film is movies like the Tim Burton Batman films, the themes and gags from Mystery Men work better in a post-Marvel Cinematic Universe landscape.

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny released from Shout! Factory on February 13th, 2024.
Jack Black is among my favorite comedic leading men. The first film I ever reviewed was School of Rock for my high school newspaper. His physical delivery is unmatched, and he’s able to make nearly every character, no matter how absurd, feel relatable and approachable. Despite my adoration for the man, Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny had evaded me for eighteen long years. Now, thanks to the fine folks at Shout! Factory, that’s all changed.

There are many reasons to enjoy Curb Your Enthusiasm: the awkwardness, the misanthropy, the clever writing, Larry David's delightfully petty performance. But another strength of the show is the never-ending stream of cameos and guest stars. David gets all and sundry to appear on the show, from athletes (Shaquille O'Neal) to directors (Martin Scorsese) to actors (Ben Stiller). They tend to play cartoonish (and usually awful) versions of themselves in the best possible way.

David Gordon Green, the filmmaker behind Universal’s Halloween trilogy and The Exorcist: Believer, is leaving horror behind to direct a family drama starring Ben Stiller about a man connecting with his unruly nephews after a tragic accident claims their parents’ lives. The feature-length project is a hard left turn at Albuquerque for Green, who’s spent most of his recent filmmaker career bringing Halloween’s Michael Myers and William Peter Blatty’s Exorcist back to the horror fold.
