Conrad's first professional acting appearance was in a 1986 Miller Lite commercial with Joe Piscopo. Following the Saturday Night Live alum, he made an appearance on SNL, in 1988, playing "Big Red" in a skit with Jan Hooks and Kevin Nealon. A theme that would re-occur throughout his career, having worked with Adam Sandler, three times (The Longest Yard, Anger Management and Bulletproof), Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, Horatio Sanz and the late Chris Farley. He has appeared in over 22 films and 40 national commercials. his most recent film Home Is Where The Heart Is can be purchased or rented on Amazon  

Directed by: Jim Hemphill Starring: Lea Thompson and John Shea Talkies. After the silent era films with sound were called talkies. Ironically enough films have moved away from conversation and grown (or digressed) into an era of pure visual spectacle. The Trouble with the Truth is a throw back in many ways but in others its quite progressive. The film centers around Emily (Lea Thompson) and Robert (John Shea) who are divorced couple having dinner, that's it, a couple talking. This is the kind of film that we rarely see, one that is completely built on performance and writing. The set pieces in this film are emotional ones and they carry far more weight than anything I've seen in a multiplex for years. Thompson gives the strongest performance of her career and is absolutely captivating to watch in this film. I've always enjoyed her work but I had no idea how good she was. This is the kind of film that has made me reevaluate her work as a performer. John Shea is also

The first horror films I remember are the ones whose names I can barely recall. They were gory, filled with sex and defiantly inappropriate for a 12 year old. I'm not talking about The Shinning or The Exorcist, those were films that I could watch with my parents. The movies I'm talking about were dangerous, I wasn't allowed to watch them. I would go to the video store and find films based solely on the box art. These films rarely lived up to the images used to sell them but it didn't matter, the promise of might be was enough. I took films like; Sleepaway Camp, Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Class of Nuke Em High, and Chopping Mall seriously. I didn't watch them like some douche bag hipster with a detached sense of irony, nope Phantasm was my Citizen Kane. My taste has matured (slightly) but those films will always hold a special place in my heart. I've seen tons of modern films that try to call back to the B-Movie masterpieces of my y

Directed by: Neill Blomkamp Written by: Neill Blomkamp & Terri Tatchell Cast:  Sharlto Copley,  Dev Patel,  NINJA and ¥O-LANDI VI$$ER,  Jose Pablo Cantillo  with Sigourney Weaver  and Hugh Jackman In the near future, crime is patrolled by an oppressive mechanized police force. But now, the people are fighting back. When one police droid, Chappie, is stolen and given new programming, he becomes the first robot with the ability to think and feel for himself.  As powerful, destructive forces start to see Chappie as a danger to mankind and order, they will stop at nothing to maintain the status quo and ensure that Chappie is the last of his kind. Finger crossed for this one it could be my favorite film of the year or the biggest let down. Either way I fully expect a strong reaction. 

No contemporary filmmaker has chronicled the messy human experience with the eye and ear of a comedic cultural anthropologist like Judd Apatow. Hits as varied as those he’s directed, like Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, and those he’s produced, like Superbad and Bridesmaids, are all unified by their honest, unflinching, comic look at how complicated it is to grow up in the modern world.  Apatow has also built a history of helping break distinctive new comedy voices into the mainstream, from Seth Rogen to Lena Dunham among many others. Now, in his fifth feature film as a director, Apatow again brings a portrait of an unforgettable character, and a portrayal by a breakout new comedy star, together in Trainwreck, written by and starring Amy Schumer (Inside Amy Schumer) as a woman who lives her life without apologies, even when maybe she should apologize.     Since she was a little girl, it’s been drilled into Amy’s (Schumer) head by her rascal of a dad (Colin Quinn) tha

Directed By: Richard LaGravenese Starring: Anna Kendrick and Jeremy Jordan  Do you like musicals? Do you like your romantic comedies w/ a touch of Blue Valentine? If you're like me then you probably answered no to both questions. With that in mind I loved The Last Five Years, partially because of the  non-linear structure, partially because of the stunning camera work from Steven Meizler but mainly because of the two lead performers.  A film like THE LAST FIVE YEARS hinges on the likability of its stars and this movie is incredibly well cast. After seeing the film I cant picture anyone else in these roles. Anna Kendrick consistently makes interesting choices, even in the films that don't completely work for me she is always compelling. I had never seen Jeremy Jordan before but he is well known on Broadway for roles in NEWSIES, ROCK OF AGES and WEST SIDE STORY.  I'm by no means an expert on musical theater or filmed musicals so any of the claims that follow
