1941-uk-quad“1941” was an action/adventure period comedy directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale (of “Back to the Future” fame). It was released in 1979 and even though it sported an incredible cast of characters (Dan Aykroyd, John Belushi, John Candy, Ned Beatty, Christopher Lee, Toshiro Mifune, Robert Stack, Treat Williams, the list goes on) it was considered one of Spielberg’s weakest films, both critically and financially.

Brand New “Horrible Bosses 2” Theatrical Trailer

Horrible Bosses 2 - _Ransom Note_ Trailer [HD].mp4.Still002Just released is the new trailer for the sequel to “Horrible Bosses” ingeniously entitled “Horrible Bosses 2.”  I enjoyed the first one, but felt it was probably best left as a ‘one-off.’  But hey, I could be wrong.  Look how well it worked out for “The Hangover.”  If they had left that at a ‘one-off’ then the world would have been robbed of two of the best comedic sequels of all-time, aptly named “The Hangover Part 2” and “The Hangover Part 3.”  We can only hope that the “Horrible Bosses” sequels can rise to that level of cinema gold.  It opens November 26, 2014.
