Seth Rogen is one of today's funniest comedians, and although his humor may seem a bit crass for most, it's still laugh-out-loud funny. As he lends his comedic voice to the iconic character of Pumbaa in the new "The Lion King" live action film, I take a look at my five personal favorite Seth Rogen films.
**THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS**
#5
Zack and Miri Make a Porno
Seth Rogen plays Zack, who, along with his roommate Miri (played by Elizabeth Banks), decide to film a porno so they can make some money. They enlist a group of ragtag individuals to do the film, and raunchy, no-holds-barred hilarity ensues. Throw in the fact that the film was written and directed by the great Kevin Smith - along with the natural chemistry between Rogen and Banks - and you've got comedic gold.
#4
Neighbors
Seth Rogen and Rose Byne play a young married couple with an infant child who's living the perfect suburban dream - until a fraternity moves in next door. The result involves a series of pranks done by the fraternity (led by the hilarious Zac Efron and Dave Franco) and the young couple as they try to one-up the other, leading to hilarious hijinks throughout.
#3
This is the End
Work is so much better when you can do it with your friends, and "This is the End" is the ultimate friend film. Directed by Rogen, the film follows a group of friends who have to endure the apocalypse. What makes this so much better is that the actors in the film have been real life friends for years, and they play themselves in the movie. Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride and Craig Robinson deliver the laughs endlessly, with a star-studded cameo list including Rihanna, Michael Cera, Channing Tatum, and especially Emma Watson in a role you'd never expect to see her in.
#2
Knocked Up
Up until "Knocked Up," no one really heard of Seth Rogen apart from his smaller bit roles in other comedies, but after "Knocked Up" he became a comedy legend. Starring alongside Katherine Heigl, Rogen plays Ben, a loser who has a one-night-stand with Heigl's successful Alison, and finds out she's pregnant. BEn is forced to grow up faster than he thought, and what results is a series of comedic moments as well as surprisingly tender ones as well. Paul Rudd, Leslie Mann, Jay Baruchel, Jonah Hill and Jason Segel round out this brilliant cast.
#1
Pineapple Express
In this comedy, Seth Rogen and James Franco play friends who witness a murder and goes on the run from hitmen and bad cops, resulting in hilarious moments too numerous to count. Danny McBride, Craig Robinson, Amber Heard, Nora Dunn, Rosie Perez and Gary Cole supply fantastic supporting roles, but it's the obvious chemistry between Rogen and Franco that delivers one of the best comedies of the 2000s.
Major Theatrical Releases May 2019 After the hype that is "Avengers: Endgame," May offers a massive collection of differing types of movies, enough to entertain everyone. Here are the major theatrical releases for May 2019. **THERE WILL BE NO SPOILERS** **DATES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE** The Intruder May 3 Dennis Quaid goes from starring the family-friendly "A Dog's Journey" to playing a total psycho in "The Intruder." When a young couple purchases a home from Quaid's character Charlie, they didn't realize it came with an addition - Charlie himself, who can't seem to let his old home go. I don't expect any twists or turns in this tale, and this looks like a film better fit for Lifetime than the big screen. Long Shot May 3 Charlize Theron stars as Charlotte Field, the current Secretary of State and who's running for President. Seth Rogen stars as Fred Flarsky, a
Major Theatrical Releases May 2016 May is the start of summer, which means warmer weather, no school, more sunshine, and of course, MAJOR BLOCKBUSTER MOVIES! The beginning of summer opens with some extremely strong outings which will shape the remaining months to come, and if these movies are any indication, it's going to be a great summer at the movies! That being said, here is the list of films being released nationally for the month of May, 2016. MAY 6 Captain America: Civil War Starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Anthony Mackie Directed by Anthony Russo & Joe Russo Synopsis (imdb.com): Political interference in the Avengers' activities causes a rift between former allies Captain America and Iron Man. Thoughts: Forget "Batman v. Superman," THIS is the match-up we've all been dying to see! Based off the highly popular comic series, "Civil War" pits Earth's Mightiest Heroes against one anot
The Living Dead Starring Jessica Jane-Stanford, Paul Danan, Aurie 'Styla' Green, Hakan Hassan Directed by Fredi Nwaka What I appreciate the most about horror cinema is the fact that its the easiest genre for an up-and-coming director to direct, and provide a unique vision that's set apart from different genres - in horror, you can make anything if you set your mind to it. Horror can also blend different genres within itself, producing horror/drama, horror/action, and even horror/comedy, which is the route taken by first-time director Fredi Nwaka's "The Living Dead" (also known in the U.K. as "Are We Dead Yet?") - it's not just a horror film, but also blends action and comedy and produces a worthwhile whole. Madison (Jessica Jane-Stanford), Barry (Aurie 'Styla' Green), Gavin (Paul Danan), Alan (Hakan Hassan) and Parksey (Bradley Turner) are a group of robbers who, after their getaway car breaks down, find themselves in front of a towering
