RT on DVD: All Aboard the Pineapple Express with an Exclusive Deleted Scene!
8. Ping Pong Playa -- 69%
Director Jessica Yu (In the Realms of the Unreal, Protagonist) departs from heady art house territory with this light comedy about Christopher Wang, a Chinese-American NBA enthusiast whose entire family is obsessed with ping pong. When a family crisis forces him to take up the paddle, Wang -- or "C-Dub," as he prefers to be called -- must step up to compete for his family's honor. Yu and writer/star Jimmy Tsai also contribute a commentary track.
Next: Battlestar Galactica 4.0

on Jan 05 2009 07:40 PM I'll get Pineapple on Blu-Ray sometime this week I'm sure. Babylon A.D. looks pretty funny so I will rent that and I will also rent Righteous Kill because that also look pretty funny- and I love me some Carla Guigno. I know I have The Wackness coming from Netflix tomorrow which I look forward to watching. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 05 2009 08:50 PM The Wackness (8/10)was very good and the 90s feel was amazing, great soundtrack (cant go wrong with Notorious B.I.G.), Kingsley was very good but Josh Peck was great. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 05 2009 11:56 PM I liked Pineaple Express. Franco was awsome in it. Nothing great, but a fun trip. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 06 2009 01:59 AM Eden Lake looks interesting (Reply to this) |

on Jan 06 2009 05:18 AM I cant wait to get to the store today to buy this. I thought it was the best comedy of the year, very underrated. Seeing Red survive it all again is reason enough to buy this. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 06 2009 06:00 AM Ping Pong Playa definitely has it's moments, and I think "Tripping the Rift" is getting released this week. I'll go buy Pineapple express and the Wackness, I guess add the rest to my netflix list. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 06 2009 09:03 AM I need to watch Battlestar Galactica 4.0 again, since season 4.5 is starting next Friday, and I can't remember what happened in season 4.0, because the SciFi channel makes you wait 97.0 months for the last half of a season. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 06 2009 09:07 AM Pineapple Express was a funny movie, but it wasn't a very good movie (ala Step Brothers) i really don't think it is worth the 2 Disc Special Edition or even the Blu-Ray version. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 06 2009 02:53 PM Points. Eden Lake in years? I loved Severance! Seems to be from the same school. BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA Is that a play on "The Last Supper?" Lol. I think it is. Ballsy. Again, jen, a great job in what appears to be the week that released the worst films of the year. I'm getting THE WACKNESS and RIGHTEOUS KILL from Netflix today. Sadly, not Pineapple Express, which I saw in theaters... but... .forgot. .. most of it. . . kind of...whoa... what was I talking about? Can't wait to see it. Wookies. (Reply to this) |

on Jan 06 2009 08:38 PM Wookies, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HEE HEE HEE HA HA HEE HA HACK! I think that's really funny, and I'm not even stoned yet. (Reply to this) |
on Jan 07 2009 04:46 PM Love BSG and don't have Sci-Fi so I am amped about season 4!!! It'll make your DVD week better ledawg. (Reply to this) |
