VIDEO: Jason Segel and Paul Rudd Do Dracula's Lament...

So, at a recent screening of I Love You, Man in Chicago, Jason Segel was asked to perform a musical number from last year's hit comedy, Forgetting Sarah Marshall. While I wasn't the biggest fan of that film, I did love the Dracula musical that Segel's character was working on, and this video is of the song, Dracula's Lament. Check it out!



I'm also posting this to let you all know that Russel Brand, who starred in Forgetting Sarah Marshall alongside Segel, will be having a new special airing on Comedy Central this Sunday night at 10 pm, and everyone should watch.

Come back later for more news, notes, and a roundup of all of the trailers that I have neglected to post about in my Watchmen daze.

Go see something good!

BUY
- Iron Man -
The 318 Million dollar hit, that started the summer season off with a bang. Lead by a brilliant performance from it's star, Robert Downey Jr., this is one film every action film and comic book fan should own. Comes in a single disc, and two disc edition, along with a Best Buy Exclusive Box Set that includes a bust of the Iron Man helmet, along with a 100$ gift certificate to sideshowcollectables.com...

RENT
- Bigger, Faster, Stronger* -
Little seen documentary on steriods in sports, and the effects thereof. Crittically acclaimed, and much adored, this little documentary saw a very limited release, and is now available on DVD.
- Chapter 27 -
Film about Mark David Chapman, the man who took the life of Beatle, John Lennon. Starring Jared Leto, this film also saw a limited release, and was shown at my hometown film festival, The Waterfront Film Festival, to mixed reviews. Lindsay Lohan also stars.

BURN
- Forgetting Sarah Marshall -
Sure, it's much loved by critics, even ones I respect. However, I'm alone in my detest for most of Judd Apatow and crew's work. This one does have a little hope though. RUSSEL BRAND. The guy is a genius, and may save this film. I've not seen this one yet, but will be checking it out on Tuesday, so take this with a grain of salt. I may like it, but as of the trailers and crew behind it, I'm saying burn it..


That's all I've got for now...come back later for more news, notes, and a DVD review of Forgetting Sarah Marshall...
