Not exactly the most exciting ratings bulletin today as we begin with A.C.O.D., which The Film Arcade picked up out of Sundance and has yet to set a release date. The comedy stars a large crew of notables including Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jessica Alba, Jane Lynch, Adam Scott, Amy Poehler, Richard Jenkins, Catherine O’Hara and Clark Duke and was directed by first timer Stu Zicherman. As for the title, it stands for Adult Children of Divorce.
And then, if you can believe this, someone gave Steve Brill another film. Brill directed the “iBabe” segment of Movie 43 and before that such classics as Little Nicky, Without a Paddle and Drillbit Taylor. This time around the film is Walk of Shame centering on a reporter (Elizabeth Banks) whose dream of becoming a news anchor is in jeopardy after she’s left stranded in downtown Los Angeles after a one-night stand. The fact it has Banks in the lead gives it some promise, but I’m not holding my breath.
The complete bulletin follows.
