By Bill Frost @bill_frost
America’s greatest comedy treasure (after Sarah Palin) rails against hot girls, dumb dudes, tech-whiners, divorce regrets, genital upkeep, other people’s children and incorrect usage of the word “hilarious.” Hence … (Comedy Central)
Piranha
A lakeside town is besieged by thousands of idiot spring-breakers—and, conveniently, millions of just-awakened prehistoric killer piranha; blood, boobs, hysteria, boobs, Elisabeth Shue as a sheriff (!) and more boobs ensue. (Dimension)
Psychosis
A horror novelist (Charisma Carpenter) suffers a mental breakdown and moves to the English countryside to recuperate, only to begin seeing ghosts, creepy neighbors, grisly visions and … The Darkness’ singer?! Eek! (E1)
The Social Network
A Harvard undergrad/computer geek (Jesse Eisenberg) invents Facebook, makes enemies, gains groupies, becomes a millionaire and pines for his One True Love while everyone spits quick, witty lines like Aaron Sorkin. (Sony)
Stonerville
It’s Kentucky Fried Movie meets High Times meets Pauly Shore meets YouTube meets just enough nudity and dumb drug humor to make the previous interesting. Also, it’s Leslie Nielsen’s final movie … damn. (Screen Media)
