New Horrible Bosses clip released

Ever felt like killing your boss? Well these three guys have! (That has to be how they opened the pitch for this one). New comedy Horrible Bosses on its way

So far, Seth Gordon’s TV directing work has somewhat outshone what he’s achieved on the big screen. With episodes of Parks & Recreation, Modern Family, Community and The Office under his directing belt, it’s
probably kinder to forget the likes of Four Christmases.
This summer though, could he be set to even the balance with new comedy Horrible Bosses? Starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day alongside their titular horrible bosses Colin Farrell and , Horrible Bosses is about a trio of fed-up employees attempting to get their evil employers whacked. Jamie Foxx also stars as a murder consultant whose character name you should definitely look up on IMDB. I’m not saying it, my mum might be reading this.
Interestingly for fans of Paul Feig (another top telly comedy director who also made the leap into film with this year’s excellent Bridesmaids), Horrible Bosses’ script is co-written by John Francis Daley, the actor who played Sam Weir in Feig’s superlative teen series Freaks and Geeks. So Horrible Bosses boasts a director and at least one writer with first-hand experience of how brilliant comedy is made. Let’s hope it shines through.
Horrible Bosses is released in the UK on Friday 22^nd July. Watch the second trailer and first clip by clicking the link below.

Four Jennifer Aniston movies not starring ‘Rachel from Friends’

With  getting her sexy on for Horrible Bosses, we take a look back on some slightly different roles for the star...

With the release of Horrible Bosses this week, it’s tempting to think of this as the first time  has played against type. As the sex-obsessed boss of one frustrated worker, the film sees the usually demure leading lady in a supporting role that’s less than sanitary. It’s refreshing to see her play something other than a version of Rachel, a role she’s been stuck with since Friends ended in 2004, but there haven’t been many efforts to shirk the kooky love interest label over the years. Here are five examples of Aniston out of her comfort zone:

Rock Star (2001)
In a film about a tribute singer’s rise to stardom in the very band he admired, Aniston plays the supporting love interest, a situation she knows all too well from later work. In this early movie role however, she shines within an all-star cast that threaten to envelope her, and sets the groundwork for later success. The important thing to remember is, it isn’t a rom-com.

Derailed (2005)
Do we really buy Aniston as a con-woman? Critics certainly didn’t, as Derailedwas mauled upon release, but her role opposite Clive Owen earned her some kudos for at least trying new things. She plays a married woman who begins an affair with a man she meets on the train, only for the secrecy of their liaisons to be threatened, placing them both in danger.

The Good Girl (2002)
Jennifer playing a sad, lonely woman in her thirties? Some could say she does that just fine in the celebrity magazines every week. The difference here, in her breakout role, was the menial job and loveless marriage her character endured, before meeting an interesting co-worker (played by Jake Gyllenhaal) and beginning an illicit affair. Her performance here might be her best ever, as she puts Rachel away for a while and exhibits some real acting chops.

Along Came Polly (2004)
This Ben Stiller comedy saw Aniston return to a genre we know and love her in, but there was something about the quirky extrovert that draws your attention. Unlike in Bruce Almighty, where she played the straight man to Jim Carrey’s rubber-faced goon, here it’s Stiller who’s overshadow
