...character in ‘Sarah Marshall’ wouldn’t have been interesting to see throughout a whole movie,” Hill explained, “He was sort of... one-dimensional. He was more the funny, weird stalker-ish guy. Aaron’s probably the most together character I’ve ever played in a film... I just felt like Matthew the waiter is a weird character, but he’s not someone you might want to sit through a whole film [with], you might...
...other words, we're going to need Michael Beard, a rotund, balding, 50-ish English physicist coasting on a Nobel Prize he won two decades ago.

It's an efficient thriller, with scare weapons ranging from the primitive (a pitchfork) to the apocalyptic (an A bomb). The acting is only horror-film-functional, and you might wish that...
...Fridays and Saturdays after 10 p.m., only to see them in the dining hall on Sunday and think it would be silly to say hello, since “we’re not even friends really.” Would that count as a drunk/high, Mr.-Rogers-ish-I-love-my-neighbor alter...
