Mrs. Tiki and I went to see Funny People Saturday night. Funny People is Judd Apatow's (40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up) latest bromance starring Adam Sandler & Seth Rogen. This isn'[t intended as a review of Funny People, but I will say this. It's funny, with serious relationship undertones, then funny again.
On to the two movies I can't wait to see (both featured as trailers during Funny People).
Couples Retreat
This is a Jon Favreau written, Peter Billingsley directed ensemble comedy starring Vince Vaughn. What more do I need to say? Yes, THE Peter Billingsley (Ralphie from A Christmas Story). You might have noticed him in The Break Up, alongside Vaughn, Favreau, & Jason Bateman. Throw in Kristin Bell, Kristin Davis and the hot but psycho wife from The Heartbreak Kid for the cheesecake and you have a good start. Kristin Bell, by the way, is wicked funny also. The premise is four married couples at a tropical island retreat (Hmmm sound like a Jenna Jameson plot), "Problem Island" as Vaughn's charachter describes it. The hilarity ensues.

Opens October 9th!
District 9
First off, this movie has maybe the coolest website ever. I have been peeping at it for months now. www.d-9.com Get ready to experience a multi-layer website that will blow you away. For the movie, it is an epic Peter Jackson (The Lord Of The Rings) adventure about aliens segregated into District 9. I am thinking I will need to go alone or with another Sci-Fi fan because it is not Mrs. Tiki's style. So get your applications in now to watch it with me! Opens August 14th!
