Hot Rod: Will Samburg break the curse? (Paramount Pictures)
So my ears are still ringing a little from the Format's show last night at House of Blues, so if you try and get my attention and I don't answer, I'm not ignoring you. The long walk from the West End station to the venue was worth it: the Format has solidified its status as my favorite band (as of now). Tonight I'll be accompanying movie critic Chris Vognar on my first film screening as a member of the press. We'll be seeing Andy Samberg's Hot Rod. Will he be a Mike Myers or Will Ferrell, an SNL alum who can shine with comedy outside the confines of a sketch show, or will he fall into the ranks of just about every other cast member? Read this plot synopsis from IMDb and let me know what you think:
"Self-proclaimed stuntman Rod Kimble (Samberg) is preparing for the jump of his life. Rod plans to clear fifteen buses in an attempt to raise money for his abusive stepfather Frank’s life-saving heart operation. He’ll land the jump, get Frank better, and then fight him, hard."
Anyway, tonight will be fantastic learning experience that I'm definitely looking forward to. Hopefully I'll be able to hear what's going on by then. And in case you missed the flurry of comments about Mr. Nicolas Cage, there's this. Enjoy.

I've been to many movie sneak previews, but doing it for the press was just way cooler than doing it for my retail jobs. I hope it's fun! Aand I hope you can hear by then... Good luck with that.
