Adam Carolla has a lot going on these weeks. He is dancing with 2-time DWTS champ Julianne Hough on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, hosting his daily morning radio show, The Adam Carolla Show, and his movie The Hammer, that he is self-distributing, came out on Friday and is doing well in limited release. Not only is the movie doing well in the box office, it is also getting rave reviews. This is a great accomplishment for a movie that doesn’t have a studio behind it. We all need to support these movies because look at what the studios are doing ie. Michael Bay destroying The Birds, Friday the 13th and A Nightmare on Elm Street. If you want more movies that are original and will make you laugh then run out and see The Hammer over and over again if you want crap go see a remake instead.
The Hammer was written by Kevin Hench who has worked with Carolla since The Man Show and stars Kevin’s wife Heather Juergensen who wrote and starred in Kissing Jessica Stein.
It was the amazing writer and director, Eli Roth, whose work and opinion I have admired for years who brought my attention to this film. A long-time friend of Kevin and Heather, he told me “And even though they are friends and I would support them no matter what, the movie’s really, really, really funny, so I hope people discover it.” And today Eli Roth was on The Adam Carolla Show and he is helping people to discover my blog by giving me a shout out on the show.
Eli Roth – I just have to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
BTW I also learned during his interview that Eli’s next movie Trailer Trash is coming out on August 22, so be prepared to hear a lot more about it.
If you want to hear the interview of Eli Roth on The Adam Carolla Show, here it is or check it on The Adam Carolla Show site.
So as thank you to Eli Roth and Adam Carolla…please put all your votes towards Adam and Julianne tonight, run out and see The Hammer and go rent Cabin Fever and Hostel 1 and 2!!!
Eli Roth posted on his blog that he did his first audio commentary for the website Trailers from Hell for the trailer Three on a Meathook and let’s just say he wasn’t kidding that this trailer is from hell. You so have to check out his commentary for the trailer and the others done by Joe Dante, Rick Baker and John Landis to name a few. Seriously this site is so much fun! Enjoy!
BTW I so wish they made trailers today as good as the ones featured on Trailers from Hell, they are way too serious these days!
With all that f*cking it was bound to happen. I just wonder if the parent of the baby is Ben Affleck or Sarah Silverman. I am not saying that he needs lose just weight, I am just asking if Jimmy Kimmel is pregnant because why else would Sarah Silverman be patting his 6-pack abs like that at The Hammer premiere? But seriously how cute are they together?
And here is a photo just for me…Jimmy Kimmel, Eli Roth and my favorite male contestant on Dancing with the Stars 6 who is over 40 and under 45 Adam Carolla.
Every now and again I like to check out the trailer remixes section of iFilm and this time I found this version of Cabin Fever. This trailer was so well done, it will trick people who don’t know what the movie is really about to run out an rent it! So if you haven’t seen Cabin Fever go and buy it now it really is a touching story about friendship to the end!!!
BTW this trailer remix was done by the same people who did the amazing Shining trailer, P.S. 260!

Sadly The Greats of Roth is coming to end tomorrow night at the New Beverly Cinema, but just like Eli Roth it is going out in a big way!!!
Bachelor Party:
Fri: 7:30; Sat: 3:25 & 7:30
Caddyshack:
Fri: 9:35; Sat: 5:30 only
Pieces:
Sat: 9:35 only
Pieces which was shown the first week was such a huge hit that people went back to see it again the very same night. So Eil Roth has decided to close his festival with the movie and the classic Tom Hanks/Adrian Zmed movie Bachelor Party. Seriously who didn't have a crush on Adrian Zmed in that move and he still looks the same as he did when he did that movie over 25 years ago!
But back to Pieces (My friends that are going with me tomorrow…stop reading here) Eli Roth told me:
This is the uncut version with all the extra gore and nudity that is NOT out on VHS and DVD. (Anyone who has a copy has a heavily censored version.) It's the ultimate crowd pleasing audience movie, so if you've never seen it there's no better way to experience it for the first time than with a packed house.
So if you live in Los Angeles come on down to the New Beverly Cinema on La Brea and Beverly and check out two great movies for $7!!! What a bargain!!!
If you don't live in LA pick up your local newspaper and find an old school movie theater in your home town and check it out! We need to keep as many of these theaters around as possible because the feel you get one just makes the movie experience so much better. We didn't save drive-ins and sadly most of us can't say we had sex at one…including me. 🙁 But seriously folks 35mm must mean something to people like Steven Spielberg and George Lucas because why else would they be rumors that Paramount is releasing Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull in 35mm only!
Once again thanks to Eli Roth for putting on The Greats of Roth, it sincerely was a lot of fun. Now get cracking on The Greats of Roth 2!!!
