Clark Kent asks: Ever wanted to know who would win in an epic battle between Brad Pitt and Will Ferrell? See for yourself after the jump!

VIA E:

The story has Megamind (Will Ferrell) kidnap ace reporter Roxanne Ritchie (Tina Fey, clearly following the old tradition of superhero girlfriends having matching initials) and defeat his good arch-nemesis Metro Man (Brad Pitt). Once having won, however, Megamind finds himself at something of a loss as to what to do next.

Clark Kent says: Megamind is out in the UK on December 3. Check out four minutes of the movie before it hits theaters below:

Clark Kent says: Two of my favorite funny people have teamed up for ‘Date Night’. While personally I didn’t have a date to accompany me for this flick — the more important question is — was it funny? Let’s discuss after the jump.

GOOD: The King and Queen of Sitcom TV are undisputed champions — Steve Carell and Tina Fey. Their work on ‘The Office’ and ’30 Rock’ have garnered them a ton of awards and in ‘Date Night’ their pairing is a Hollywood wet dream come true. The duo take their comedic traits and apply them to screenwriter Josh Klausner’s script and pepper the storyline with quips and antics that get laughs almost on cue. Fey and Carell can effortlessly convey the ups and downs of their marriage as Phil and Claire Foster. Director Shawn Levy (‘Night at the Museum‘) heaps on the action sequences and let’s oddball-ness run amuck as an always-shirtless Mark Wahlberg plays a security expert and James Franco and Mila Kunis (my crush) play a skeevy criminal couple. J.B. Smoove helps to add onto the hysterics as a cabbie in one scene that definitely needed his touch.

BAD: Unfortunately ‘Date Night’ comes off as unpretentious and unambitious as Shawn Levy never really asks Steve and Tina to venture outside of their comfort zones. Specifically there’s a pole-dancing scene that the duo appears in and on-screen the Fosters appear to be the same uptight nerds that they started out as in the beginning of the flick. These two sharp talents should have inspired the screenwriters to do more than car chases and a generic mobster plot-line. Levy leads the movie into a dead halt whenever the attention moves from the Steve Carell and Tina Fey to the film’s more distracting scenes.

UGLY: ‘Date Night’ is ultimately a testament to under-utilizing talent. The cast is undoubtedly a strong one with the run-time pretty feasible. While Mark Wahlberg can do no wrong, Steve Carell and Tina Fey aren’t really allowed to break out in their roles. ‘Date Night’ clicks whenever they are allowed to fully engage one another. It’s probably no surprise that both are able to relate to each other so well. Carell has been married in real life since 1995 to actor Nancy Walls Carell and Fey has been a loving wife to composer/producer Jeff Richmond since 2001. They bring to life in the film those experiences that infuses the easy camaraderie that flows effortlessly on-screen. Shawn Levy’s track record is known in Hollywood as one who tarnishes the reputations of America’s comedy elite (see: ‘The Pink Panther‘ and ‘Night at the Museum’) — but he cannot stop the funniness of Carell and Fey.

Clark Kent says: In short… See It! If only to take a loved one out to get a good laugh. Tina Fey and Steve Carell should make another movie together and hopefully Hollywood will let them take it to the next level. Got any thoughts? Share ‘em below. Until then… check out the trailer!

Clark Kent says: Tina Fey and Sarah Palin comparisons aside, ‘Bayonetta‘ has captured the imagination of not only gamers, but artists period. ‘Straight Outta Stanford’ MC Lars takes his love of gaming to another interesting level that you can check out after the jump.

VIA MC LARS:

Last year at Comic-Con, everyone was talking about Bayonetta, this new game about a witch who comes back from hell and tries to find her way home. Beefy, Random and I wrote this song about how Bayonetta looks like Tina Fey and got Tina Root from the 90s industrial band Switchblade Symphony to sing the hook. The song was produced by Jason Bazinet from SMP.

Clark Kent says: I listened to the song twice and if you’re not a gamer, you won’t appreciate the creativity, time, and effort put into making this. I’m still waiting on my copies so I can rewrite my ‘Bayonetta’ review… this one wasn’t good enough. Check out the song below and be sure to head over to MC Lars site to download the MP3.

Right now in the world of TV comedy, Tina Fey and Steve Carell are the ‘Prom Queen and King’, and with all that popularity comes the price of raised expectations. The couples comedy Date Night, starring Fey and Carell as a married couple looking to spice up their romance, was bound to be scrutinized.

Clark Kent says: Would you take a date to see this movie? Check out the trailer after the jump!

VIA C:

So now that the first trailer has arrived (via Apple), reactions have been mixed. But there’s hope for this film, if for no other reason than the fact that Fey and Carell are some of the most talented comedians working right now (although I’m still holding out for Fey to start writing some more movies of her own).

Date Night was directed by Shawn Levy (of Night at The Museum fame) and written by Josh Klausner, who only has a couple of credits as a writer (mainly for Shrek films). But Klausner has also worked with the Farrelly brothers, so he must know his way around a joke, right? There’s a strong supporting cast of funny folks like James Franco, Mila Kunis, Jason Segel, and Kristen Wiig.

Clark Kent says: Neither Carrell or Fey have lost their comedy magic, but while this film stands unrated, it could end up being a 40-Year-Old Virgin sleeper hit, right? You be the judge. Peep the trailer below!
