TRAILERS: Pineapple Express & Chaos Theory

When I first saw the trailer for the Pineapple Express it was just a clip of the film featuring Seth Rogen and James Franco as a DVD extra on Superbad, and it really wasn't that funny. But after watching the full trailer I nearly died laughing. It could possibly battle Harold and Kumar as one of the best pot-induced comedic action films ever. Man, they're really trying to revive the Cheech and Chong genre. In this new adventure, Franco plays Rogen's dealer. After picking up a bag of a special brew Franco whipped up called The Pineapple Express, Rogen witnesses a murder. Pot = paranoia. So the entire movie follows Rogen and Franco as they try to evade the murderers...and of course try to get high during their downtime. I have to say the best part is when Rosie Perez's kicks their ass. Yeah, Rosie freaking Perez.

Release Date: August 8

In Chaos Theory, Ryan Reynolds plays a guy who is quite meticulous about everything he does. He makes list and is always on schedule. He is the exact opposite of me. In fact, I'm supposed to be somewhere in 2hrs and if I don't leave in 10 minutes, I'm going to be late. Unfortunately, one day he gets thrown off schedule and before you know it everything in his life starts to go wrong. Despite the assistance of his girlfriend Emily Mortimer (Lars and the Real Girl) and his bff Stuart Townsend (League of Extraordinary Gentleman), he decides to fend off this bad karma and try to regain his sanity by letting a bunch of index cards with phrases, like "Drink more" and "Streak Ice" (as in streak on the hockey ice rink), to make every decision for him. Awesome. Reynolds is just the right amount of crazy to pull this off. Let the chaos ensue.

Release Date: March 14
