McBride Penning Hick Heist Tale

In a short time funny man Danny McBride has established himself as a force in the comedy world. From Kenny Powers to "Pineapple Express" to his new film "Your Highness," McBride has shown that he has a keen insight to comedy and has amassed quite the following and he has no plans of slowing down.

His new film came out this past week and according to an interview in GQ McBride says that he already has plans for an upcoming project based on a screenplay he wrote with Jody Hill a few years back.

McBride described the story to the magazine, which is based on a real-life 1997 bank robbery in Charlotte. McBride said: "These rednecks robbed Loomis Fargo for over $17 million. And they would have gotten away with it, except they stayed in the town they were living in. They literally moved from trailers into the richest neighborhoods in town, lived like kings, bought their wives tit jobs. Jody wants to make it like a southern Godfather."

McBride and Hill met in film school and have collaborated ever since, including on their first amazing film "The Foot Fist Way" and the TV show "Eastbound & Down."

At this point in my eyes McBride can do no wrong. While some less informed people find his humor stupid or sophomoric, there's a legion of fans out there that know McBride is truly great at what he does. Sure Kenny Powers is a profanity hurling sex fiend but he also is emotionally deep and culturally significant. The new project actually sounds like it could be something truly amazing, especially if McBride wants to star in it.

The article also describes some other projects McBride is working on, including turning a bare-knuckle boxing doc into a TV series, and helping establish a show about a hitman which several Australian filmmakers are trying to set up at HBO.

"Social Network" Dominates NBR Awards

Back when I first heard about "The Social Network" I admit I was fairly skeptical with the idea of a film about Facebook.

But then David Fincher joined on as director and Aaron Sorkin as the writer, and I began to get extremely intrigued about what it could be. After the cast came together with one of my favorite actors (Jesse Eisenberg) as the lead, I truly thought the film would be something special.

After seeing it in theaters it did not disappoint me one bit, and the National Board of Review seems to agree. Yes folks, it's true, awards season is upon us. The critics award race got started off last week as "The Social Network" pretty much dominated The Nation Board of Review awards, taking in four of the main categories.

"The Social Network" won awards for Best Film, Director (David Fincher), Actor (Jesse Eisenberg) and Adapted Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin). While there were a number of excellent nominees this year, including films like "The Town" and "Inception", I can't disagree with any of the awards the film won.

I honestly felt like it was a "Best Picture" worthy movie when I saw it, mainly due to the fantastic script and excellent direction by Fincher. On top of that the entire cast was excellent alongside Eisenberg, including Andre Garfield and Justin Timberlake.

Eisenberg plays Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg in the film, which has won critical praise and earned more than $180 million worldwide at the box office. I'm really glad he picked up the award, because although I think he is worthy for an Academy Award nomination later on, I think Colin Firth will take that home for "The Kings Speech", so its good to see the young actor take home some hardware that is truly deserving.

The National Board of Review has had a decent track record the past few years in predicting the Oscar outcome. In the past three years, the National Board of Review winner has twice gone on to win best picture at the Oscars: "No Country for Old Men" in 2007 and "Slumdog Millionaire" in 2008. Last year's winner was "Up in the Air."

The awards will keep coming as the year draws to a close, but it's clear that we'll be hearing a lot more about "The Social Network" in the coming months.
