Paul Rudd, in the title role, walks away with much of the critics’ praise in this ensemble comedy. By Terri Schwartz Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks in “Our Idiot Brother” Photo: Big Beach Films Even with strong performances from the ensemble cast in “Our Idiot Brother,” the Sundance darling is being heralded as Paul Rudd’s movie. Reviews for the comedy, which opened on Friday (August 25), are heralding Rudd’s turn as one of the best of his career. And although the response has been generally positive, critics did take issue with some of the other idiotic parts of the movie. Some found the script’s approach to the characters too formulaic: Rudd’s character might be an idiot, but he is actually a commendable guy when compared to his three jaded sisters, his hippie ex-girlfriend and his wine-drinking mother. Others thought the movie was a bit unconvincing despite its well-meaning message. Still, the jump from “My Idiot Brother” at Sundance to “Our Idiot Brother” in wide-release seems to imply a more inclusive element to the film that resounded with critics. So will “Our Idiot Brother” charm you? Here’s what the critics had to say: The Idiot Brother “Though the ensemble cast is uniformly strong, this is Rudd’s film. His inherent likability and genial manner are ideal for the character. He plays laid-back especially well. (His aging surfer dude in ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ was a variation on Ned.) Watching Rudd bring dimension to what could have been a clownish caricature is the best reason to see this good-natured family comedy. ‘Our Idiot Brother’ is as irresistible and easy to love as a golden retriever.” — Claudia Puig, USA Today The Characters “Peeking out from a curtain of shaggy hair and a beard, Rudd invests Ned with every ounce of the effusive, natural warmth that has become his trademark. And like so many movies in his career, he makes Our Idiot Brother much more tolerable than it deserves to be. Screenwriters Evgenia Peretz and David Schisgall play up Ned’s innocence by making his sisters thoroughly unappealing: Emily Mortimer plays a dowdy, sad-sack hausfrau married to a pompous documentarian (played with withering contempt by Steve Coogan); Elizabeth Banks flails in a misguided brunet pageboy as a ruthless Vanity Fair reporter; and Zooey Deschanel lends spaced-out self-absorption to a lesbian tempted by a similarly navel-gazing male artist.” — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post The Script “You want to laugh at this, except the movie is forcing you to do so. Adultery and dysfunction are cute problems. Deschanel’s character shares a loft with her girlfriend (Rashida Jones, underutilized again and still the best thing here) and a gang of bohemians who don’t get up to anything interesting. Though Deschanel’s compulsion to play another Quirky Performance Artist is satisfied. Banks (shrill careerist) and Mortimer (neurotic wimp) conform to type, too. Ned makes their relationships harder than they already appear to be. He’s a gimmick, and yet without him the movie is just Hanna-Barbera and Her Sisters. Either way, it’s all emotionally counterfeit, and that bogusness infects the comedy.” — Wesley Morris, The Boston Globe The Direction “Efficiently directed by Jesse Peretz, (Ms. Peretz’s brother, evidently quite capable), Our Idiot Brother is a thin, unconvincing movie made likable by the charm and skill of its cast and by a script (by Ms. Peretz and her husband, David Schisgall) peppered with wit and insight. … A handful of scenes — a visit to a cultish self-help seminar, a family game of charades with Mom (Shirley Knight), a profile interview gone off the rails — are sharp, funny and surprising. But the filmmakers mostly look for humor in obvious, picked-over places. Can we please have a moratorium on private-school interviews? Like yoga classes (which this movie blessedly leaves alone), they are hard in real life and suspiciously easy in movies.” — A.O. Scott, The New York Times The Final Word ” My Idiot Brother might have made Ned more of a symbol and less of a person. Where the filmmakers, and Mr. Rudd, go right is making him such a round and sympathetic figure, rather than the desperate, pathetic and/or slapstick character he might have been in different hands. Our Idiot Brother — not My or Your or Their idiot brother — is goofily funny, and silly, and in many ways follows the currents of contemporary comedy into the gulf stream of inanity. And yet Ned turns out to be a strangely moving figure, a comic foil worthy of affection, perhaps even respect.” — John Anderson, The Wall Street Journal Check out everything we’ve got on “Our Idiot Brother.” For breaking news, celebrity columns, humor and more — updated around the clock — visit MTVMoviesBlog.com .

That Empire State of Mind is nice and all but it’s time to get the heck out of dodge folks! Hurricane Irene is coming and officials in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut have already declared a State of Emergency in their states. Mayor Bloomberg has also asked something of New Yorkers that has never been asked before — he wants them to evacuate, especially if there home lies in a coastal area. Yup that means Lower Manhattan too! With Hurricane Irene speeding relentlessly toward the East Coast, officials announced plans to evacuate low-lying areas in New York City and shut down the sprawling subway and transit system. Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg ordered a mandatory evacuation — something he said the city had never done before — of coastal areas in all five boroughs, including all of the Rockaways; Battery Park City and the financial district in Lower Manhattan; and Governor’s Island. The evacuation covered 250,000 people in and around what the city calls Zone A low-lying areas who, the mayor said, should get out before the storm swept in. “You only have to look at the weather maps to understand how big this storm is and how unique it is,” the mayor said at a news conference, “and it’s heading basically for us.” Underscoring what he and other officials said was the seriousness of the situation, President Obama granted a request from Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York to declare the state a federal emergency even before the hurricane arrived, according to the White House. And the mayor’s announcement prompted a cascade of cancellations for Saturday and Sunday: Broadway shows; the Mets’ games against the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field; performances by the Dave Matthews Band on Governor’s Island; an outdoor film festival of operas at Lincoln Center, among many others. Officials said the subway shutdown was prompted mainly by wind estimates that suggested the hurricane could rock subway cars where they run above ground. The commuter rail lines that serve Long Island, Westchester County and Connecticut will also be shut down, as will NJTransit operations in New Jersey. NJTransit will suspend service at noon Saturday. Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York said that a half dozen bridges — including the George Washington Bridge, the Robert F. Kennedy Triboro Bridge, the Throgs Neck Bridge and the Whitestone Bridge — would be closed if winds reached 60 miles an hour for more than a short time. Officials decided to go ahead with the shutdowns and evacuations, which they had first mentioned as a possibility at a City Hall briefing on Thursday, because, the mayor said, “Irene is now bearing down on us at a faster speed than it was.” As he stepped up the plans on Friday, the city was already evacuating hospitals and nursing homes in low-lying areas. State officials continued arrangements for coordinating emergency services and restoring electricity if the storm does the kind of damage many fear. Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey said that all lanes of 28-mile stretch of a major highway in Ocean County would go in only one direction — westward — beginning at 6 p.m. on Friday to help speed the trip away from Long Beach Island, which is connected to the mainland by only a single bridge. Those preparations came as states of emergency remained in effect in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. The mayor said that 91 evacuation centers and shelters would be open by 4 p.m. Friday for people who could not stay in their homes. The mayor had said on Thursday that the city was ordering nursing homes and hospitals in those areas to evacuate residents and patients beginning at 8 a.m. Friday unless they received special permission from state and city health officials, among them the city’s health commissioner, Dr. Thomas A. Farley, who, the mayor noted, was chairman of the community health sciences department at Tulane University when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2005. That evacuation order covered 22 hospitals, nursing homes and other facilities for older people. The mayor said city beaches would be closed on Saturday and Sunday and would remain closed “until they can op safely.” “Please, please, please, don’t go in the water,” the mayor said. “Tides will be much stronger than people can cope with.” In Connecticut, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said the state was considering widespread precautionary shutdowns of highways at midnight Saturday. He urged residents in areas that had “ever experienced flooding” to take steps to leave those areas by midnight Saturday as well. Mr. Malloy said officials were preparing for “tremendous tree damage” and the loss of electricity across the entire state. “Not just for a few hours,” he added at a briefing on Friday. “Days and weeks.” Can you imagine? Lights out for weeks!!! This storm is the real deal. Please everyone, if you live in one of the areas affected take these warning seriously and make sure you have a plan in place in case disaster strikes. Source
I really like that this Lacey Scwimmer chick is trying so hard to get my attention, but I’m not sure she’s going about it in the right way. Here she is on the beach in her bikini top, giving us a decent look at the front meat, but did she really need to wear the dirty construction worker jeans? Half of me is really enjoying these shots, my lower half, the other half wants to ask her to help me build a deck or play on my softball team. At least make out with a hot chick or something. #flaccid
OMG! I’ve been waiting for this moment for quite some time now… Eighteen year old hottie Victoria Justice hanging out on the beach in her little bikini. Yes please. I know I sound like a creepy old man, but come on, the chick is just sexy. Besides, it’s not like I’m actually on the beach taking pictures with a camera I’ve hidden in my Panama Jack beach hat. Look at the way she’s taking off that life jacket for me, she knows what she’s doing, she’s mature beyond her years. I love her. Imagine being a lifeguard on the beach while this fine specimen is walking around in front of you? It’s not safe to go in the water.
Mayuko is a gorgeous oriental model and here she is showing off her sexy body pretending to be a doll with her hairy bush and tits out for the camera Continue reading →

I’m not sure if I’ve had any pictures of country hottie Taylor Swift on the site in her bathing before, it’s possible, but I can’t be expected to remember all this. Anyhow, here she is hanging out on the beach with a ladyfriend, frolicking in the ocean and showing off her figure in one of those antique 1920′s bathing suits that don’t belong on a hot body like this. You’re in the prime of your hotness, this is the time to wear a little thong bikini that makes all the other chicks hate your guts. Their will be plenty of time to cover up your beach body once you get old and/or pregnant. What a let down.
