Super Frat

Frank Langella stars as an elderly, ex-burglar in the near future. He’s starting to lose his memory and his busy kids are worried about him, so naturally they buy him a robot. Frank and the Robot become unlikely friends and Langella is just amazing. Susan Sarandon plays the librarian and Liv Tyler and James Marsden, Frank’s two kids.

It’s a really simple and enjoyable flick. It’s a fun little arthouse movie. Langella’s performance really makes you feel for him and the robot, voice by Peter Sarsgaard. The future technology is nice and subtle. It doesn’t overwhelm the movie. There are also nice little statements about the future of technology regarding print. (Something that struck a chord with yours truly.)

Director Jack Schreier, in his first full-length director gig, has got good pacing and comic timing. And screenwriter, Christopher D. Ford, keeps the screenplay tight and lean, while making me care about the characters. These are definitely talents to watch.

Don’t miss this one, bros. I give Robot & Frank, 9 out of 10 keggers.

Twitter in Focus: Jason Bateman

by tonyd on September 5, 2012 at 2:50 am

Hey Bros!

Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die! Today’s contestant is the dad from Arrested Development and movie star, Jason Bateman! I’m psyched for the new AD. Let’s see if Jason shares my excitement.

@batemanjason

May 18th: “Arnett and I shave and tub together in MANSOME, opening today. Go to http://mansomethemovie.com to find a theater near you.”

That looks like fun. I’ll have to rent that.

May 19th: “Boy oh boy, those heavy framed glasses the NBA players are wearing for those press conferences… I missed a memo.”

Maybe they’re just hipsters.

May 31st: “I don’t understand the low ratings at CNN. I have it on all day, every day. Greatest channel ever!”

I just can’t get enough of cranky old man, Jack Cafferty.

June 16th: “Hobo Hank at work in Georgia. #Hipstamatic #JohnS #KodotXGrizzled pic.twitter.com/VDUBWK2W”

If that link didn’t work for you, here it is. It’s Jason’s dog. I wonder if he named after the character in The Simpsons. That would be obscure.

July 10th: “Taken at AD mission control, today! All systems are go. Filming for the new episodes starts in four weeks. Woo! t.co/jnP1UwPv”

Aw, what a way to begin the summer! Awesomeness!

July 28th: “My son, arriving yesterday – pic.twitter.com/laNbVmU7”

Remember, there’s always money in the Banana Stand.

July 28th: “A grandson, looking for his Gangee – pic.twitter.com/NomXJtgA”

Will he get to bang his cousin in the movie? Find out!

August 1st: “Just posted a photo http://instagr.am/p/NytM3LRVTU/”

Damn, someone has great seats behind the dugout.

August 7th: “First day. Away we go… pic.twitter.com/ci8rXy78”

And that’s it? Well, can’t blame him. He’s obviously very busying shooing AD.

Let’s rate Jason’s tweets. Behind-the-scenes photos, which I love. I give him a 7 for Insanity a 4 for Mustness and a 10 for Style. That’s an overall score of 7. I hope we hear more, JB. And would it kill you to post some pics of Portia de Rossi? Just sayin’.

And if you have a suggestion for Twitter in Focus, email us here.
