Are you ready for a Mr. Peabody & Sherman movie? Do you even know who Mr. Peabody and Sherman are? 20th Century Fox is hoping the answer to both questions is yes as they’re set to bring the time travel adventure comedy to theaters in 3D on March 7, 2014. Directed by Rob Minkoff, the voice cast of the animated comedy includes Ty Burrell, Max Charles, Ariel Winter, Allison Janney, Stephen Colbert, Leslie Mann, Stanley Tucci, Patrick Warburton, Lake Bell, Zach Callison, and Dennis Haysbert.

Mr. Peabody, the most accomplished dog in the world, and his mischievous boy Sherman, use their time machine – The Wabac – to go on the most outrageous adventures known to man or dog. But when Sherman takes The Wabac out for a joyride to impress his friend Penny, they accidentally rip a hole in the universe, wreaking havoc on the most important events in world history. Before they forever alter the past, present and future, Mr. Peabody must come to their rescue, ultimately facing the most daunting challenge of any era: figuring out how to be a parent. Together, the time-traveling trio will make their mark on history.

Movie Review: ‘Bad Grandpa’

Bad Grandpa Review

As a fan of the Jackass movies, the idea of taking Johnny Knoxville’s character of Irving Zisman and creating an entire movie around him piqued my curiosity. It also raised a bit of a red flag because part of what makes watching these guys so entertaining is that the comedy comes in quick bursts and if there ever is a lag or something a bit too gross for one’s taste, something different is coming in just another minute.

What people should know ahead of time about Bad Grandpa is that rather than being simply a series of pranks, there’s a loose story tying it all together. Zisman has recently lost his wife. His daughter is headed to jail and needs Grandpa to take her son (Jackson Nicoll) to live with the deadbeat baby daddy. The road trip provides them with a chance to bond … and create havoc as well of course.

Despite the framework of the movie, the core sensibilities of what makes Jackass fun are still there. Each stop along the way is met with Grandpa and young Billy doing something completely outrageous and hilarious while real and unsuspecting people end up their comedic casualties. Of course, some of that humor lands squarely on the other side of appropriateness but if you can’t handle that, you were never a Jackass fan.


Knoxville and Nicoll share a decent chemistry and it’s evident the veteran prankster enjoyed having a partner in crime that allowed a lot of leeway for how much he could get away with in relation to the average person. Nicoll must have has a blast being allowed to do practically anything he wanted and seemed rather fearless, even when obviously taking direction from someone else.

Saying much more would be pointless. You either enjoy Knoxville and his crew’s shenanigans or you don’t. I happen to find great joy in their tomfoolery and so this was a welcome hour and a half of laughs. I also enjoy the words “shenanigans” and “tomfoolery” so writing this review served two purposes. And if you do pop into the theater to see Bad Grandpa, don’t get up when the movie ends, there’s a ton of behind the scenes footage that run over the credits.

GRADE: B

Bad Grandpa opens in theaters on October 25, 2013 and is rated R for strong crude and sexual content throughout, language, some graphic nudity and brief drug use.

TNT and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson are teaming up once again after their summer success with The Hero for a new series tentatively titled Wake Up Call. Johnson is set to star in and executive produce the show which will air next year on TNT.
 
Season one of Wake Up Call will be made up of eight episodes with Ben Silverman, Chris Grant, Jimmy Fox, Craig Armstrong, Rick Ringbakk, Charles Wachter, and Dany Garcia joining Johnson as executive producers.
 
“We had a wonderful time working with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson on The Hero, in which he challenged and mentored a group of everyday heroes,” said David Eilenberg, senior vice president, unscripted development for TNT and TBS. “Wake Up Call evolved from our experience on The Hero and is its natural successor, bringing the human spirit of that show home to take on everyday challenges. In this new series, Dwayne will bring his mission of empowerment and change right to people’s front doors.”
 
“We are super excited to expand our relationship with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and our amazing partners at Turner with Wake Up Call, a perfect programming format that comes out of the best elements of The Hero in a closed-ended transformation show,” said Silverman.
 
Wake Up Call Details:
 
In Wake Up Call, The Rock will tackle the worst of the worst and make them into the best of the best with his own personal brand of high-octane motivation. From dysfunctional homes and dead-beat dads to sports teams that don’t gel and businesses struggling to survive, The Rock is going to descend into the chaos of everyday problems to pull good people up by the bootstraps, reminding them what hard work, passion and true discipline can accomplish.
 
Each segment on Wake Up Call will be a journey for The Rock and his team, as well as for those who will struggle to live up to The Rock’s herculean ideals. With 4 a.m. wake-up calls, emotional reunions and near-impossible goals, everyone who comes in contact with The Rock’s electric sense of personal motivation will grow from it, finding inner strength and heart.
