Workaholics Banner

Season three of Comedy Central’s Workaholics kicks off on Tuesday, May 29, 2012 at 10:30pm with the first of 10 brand new episodes. Last season, the comedy series averaged an impressive 2.2 million total viewers and was the “highest-rated series in its timeslot across all of television among men 18-34 and men 18-24,” according to the network.

For Those Who Haven’t Caught On to Workaholics:

“From the minds of the hilarious and irreverent Internet sketch group Mail Order Comedy, Workaholics is a single-camera comedy featuring three friends who work together from 9 to 5, live together from 5 to 9 and party together 24/7. Dress codes, deadlines and waking up before noon are not things these guys are used to. They do their jobs and sometimes they even do them well, but they show up late, leave drunk and always live for the day…even if they don’t know what day it is.

Whether it’s Blake (Blake Anderson) dressed in a bear coat, Adam (Adam Devine) singing about Catherine Zeta Jones while high on mushrooms or The Ders (Anders Holm) celebrating his birthday with a drinking triathlon, the boys always seem to run into trouble wherever they go.”

New ‘Killer Joe’ Trailer and Poster

By

Director William Friedkin’s Killer Joe is coming to theaters with an NC-17 rating after Friedkin opted not to make the cuts required by the MPAA in order to reduce that rating to the less restrictive but still adult R rating. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Emile Hirsch, Juno Temple, and Thomas Haden Church, Killer Joe was adapted by Tracy Letts for the screen and is based on Letts’ play of the same name.

The Plot:

When 22-year-old Chris (Emile Hirsch) finds himself in debt to a drug lord, he hires a hit man to dispatch his mother, whose $50,000 life insurance policy benefits his sister Dottie (Juno Temple). Chris finds Joe Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a creepy, crazy Dallas cop who moonlights as a contract killer. When Chris can’t pay Joe upfront, Joe sets his sight on Dottie as collateral for the job. The contract killer and his hostage develop an unusual bond. Like from a modern-day, twisted fairy tale, “Killer Joe” Cooper becomes the prince to Dottie’s Cinderella.

Watch the trailer:

Killer Joe will be released on July 27, 2012.

First Look: ‘Argo’ Trailer Starring Ben Affleck

Ben Affleck directs himself in the Warner Bros Pictures film, Argo, based on true events. The first trailer for the R-rated October 12, 2012 release has just debuted, along with the film’s first poster.

The Plot:

Based on true events, Argo chronicles the life-or-death covert operation to rescue six Americans, which unfolded behind the scenes of the Iran hostage crisis – the truth of which was unknown by the public for decades. On November 4, 1979, as the Iranian revolution reaches its boiling point, militants storm the U.S. embassy in Tehran, taking 52 Americans hostage. But, in the midst of the chaos, six Americans manage to slip away and find refuge in the home of the Canadian ambassador.

Knowing it is only a matter of time before the six are found out and likely killed, a CIA “exfiltration” specialist named Tony Mendez (Affleck) comes up with a risky plan to get them safely out of the country. A plan so incredible, it could only happen in the movies.

Producer David E. Kelley and Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s medical drama, Monday Mornings (formerly known as Chelsea General), has been greenlit by TNT. The series is based on Gupta’s book and stars Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Jamie Bamber, Jennifer Finnigan, Bill Irwin, Keong Sim, Sarayu Rao, and Emily Swallow.
 
Kelley wrote the pilot episode with Bill D’Elia directing. Monday Mornings will premiere its 10 episode first season during the summer of 2013.
 
“Monday Mornings is a superb drama brought to life with passion by a gifted ensemble cast and some of the best creative minds working in television today,” stated Michael Wright, president, head of programming for TNT, TBS and Turner Classic Movies (TCM). “David, Sanjay and their team have given us an outstanding addition to TNT’s stable of high-profile dramas, and we’re very proud to have it on the network.”
 
The Plot:
 
Set at the fictional Chelsea General Hospital in Portland, Ore., Monday Mornings follows the lives of doctors as they push the limits of their abilities and confront their personal and professional failings. The title refers to the hospital’s weekly morbidity and mortality conference, when doctors gather with their peers for a confidential review of complications and errors in patient care.
 
Leading the staff at Chelsea General are Dr. Harding Hooten (Molina), the steely-eyed chief of surgery, and Dr. Jorge “El Gato” Villanueva (Rhames), the hospital’s trauma chief. Their cadre of medical talent includes hotshot neurosurgeons Dr. Tyler Wilson (Bamber) and Dr. Tina Ridgeway (Finnigan); the abrasive Dr. Buck Tierney (Irwin); the socially challenged Dr. Sung Park (Sim); the petite-but-formidable Dr. Sydney Napur (Rao); and inquisitive resident Dr. Michelle Robidaux (Swallow).
