best direct-to-video movie? maybe!

Okay. So usually movies that go direct to video (or, I guess DVD) are usually pretty terrible. Sometimes they're awesomely bad. Sometimes they're just down right disgusting. However, I found one that is actually good and entertaining. It's certainly not the best movie ever, but I enjoyed every minute of it. I watched it via Netflix Instant Queue, where I have actually found some other good direct-to-video releases. So, the movie I am referring to is: SPRING BREAKDOWN.

This movie stars Parker Posey, Amy Poehler (in all of her greatness), and Rachel Dratch as three 30 somethings who never quite got college (or life) right. So, when Posey's character is assigned the task of watching over the Senator's (Jane Lynch! )daughter and her friends (Amber Tamblyn, Mae Whitman, and Sarah Hagan) during Spring Break in South Padre, TX to assure she doesn't do anything to ruin the Senator's chance of being named Vice President, the three of them decide to go together and do Spring Break the right way. Naturally, funny business ensues, blah blah blah. Additionally, there are some great appearances by Will Arnett, Seth Meyers, and Missi Pyle. Needless to say, how can this not be a great film, right? Well, it was received very well by critics, so I think I've done enough to convince You to watch this movie.

Still unsure? Watch the trailer:

Alec Baldwin: 'lightning-fast' wit? maybe!

So. Alec Baldwin was talking to NY Mag, or they just stole some quotes of his from somewhere. I'm unsure which of these is more true. Either way, Daily Intel reported on his reactions to last week's Live 30 Rock, and some other things he's been up to. You can read the article HERE if you're so interested in the details!

Okay, back to the point I was trying to make. Apparently, Baldwin was featured on Page Six last week or something saying that he was texting during some movie premiere in the Hamptons, and it was so disturbing, that a woman started throwing M&Ms at his head. Baldwin obviously denies such happenings, and instead, pins it on Emily Smith, the new Page Six contributor, saying "she needs to work harder" and that "the idea that anyone would throw candy at The Hampton's Film Fetsival is absurd." And trust me when I say that he should know which parts of Long Island throw candy in movies... he is from Massapequa.
