Why am I taking time away from the other blog articles I am working on to tell you about Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Because it was that good, and obviously features some of my favorite stars of the silver screen.
If you love Veronica Mars, aka are crushing on Kristen Bell, here is your chance to see her again! Trust me, it’s a safer bet than Pulse.
If you love Freaks and Geeks and/or Undeclared, this is when Jason Segel really gets to shine. Judd Apatow knows how to pick ‘em (usually) too. Double treat if you’re an Undeclared fan, cameo by Carla Gallo! You'll also enjoy this if you're just jumping on the recent Apatow/Rogan bandwagon that has exploded.
And if you love Arrested Development, a cameo by Jason Bateman too!
30 Rock's Jack McBrayer is also in there for some good laughs!
Mila Kunis is pretty good too.
I just wish they could've Nathan Fillion in there too. It'd be good to have a complete critically acclaimed, cancelled tv series movie cast.
Anyways, yeah. Go see it. It’s fun.

Top 5 of 2007
In my tradition of making top 5 lists, I thought I'd start this with a short top 5 list for 2007:
Top 5 television moments of 2007:
5. Kenneth leaving on a 'Midnight train to Georgia,' 30 Rock (season 2, episode 10 'Coffee and TV') - Admittedly, this aired 10 days into 2008, but was technically made in 2007. It marks the first return of real written television since this painful strike put a major cramp in my tv watching. Seeing it was so much fun and a reminder that tv could still be good.
4. Charlie's own top 5 list, Lost (season 3, episode 21 'Greatest hits') - Not only do I think it redeemed his sagging character and was some of Dominic Monaghan's best acting, it's a top 5 list! But seriously, Charlie was one of the few characters I felt I liked (R.I.P. Boone as well). Yes, I miss him.
3. House (season 4, episode 1 'Alone')
Janitor: Maybe it's lupus.
The meta reference had me rolling on the ground and simul-messaging everyone else watching it. It was a much better nod to the show's outrageousness than its later actual lupus case (season 4, episode 8). I also loved that House was bouncing ideas off of a janitor (a little more interesting than some of the contestants to come later in the season).
2. "The Humans are Dead" music video, Flight of the Conchords (season 1 episode 1) - It's hard to pick out one defining moment for this breakout show showcasing one of New Zealand's most clever folk parody duo, but a binary solo and sweet robot suits helped hook me into a show with some of the most quotable lines ever.
1. The Office (season 3, episode 23 'The Job')
I'm sorry, I am a huge Office fan and at this very moment, I probably screamed. 3 years of bad timing and high tension culminates in the cutest of moments. I know in the back of my head I was saying "I hope they can keep this up" but I ignored it, I was too happy.
I really wanted Veronica Mars to make this list but unfortunately, its weak third season ended not with a bang but with a whimper. Albeit, it left me praying for some form of follow up.
Maybe in good spirits, I'll start recapping Lost from its season premiere. Wish me luck.
