Written and directed by the duo responsible for “Superbad” and “Pineapple Express,” “This Is The End” features Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Craig Robinson, and James Franco (who seems to be in every movie lately), playing exaggerated versions of themselves as they negotiate a catastrophe that not only threatens their lives, but leads one of them to drink his own pee.
The premise is this: James Franco hosts a party at his house and lots of famous people are there. Shit happens, people die, and the survivors dwindle to six. In the process, there’s a Superbad reunion, Hermione clocks Seth Rogen with the butt of an axe, a sinkhole swallows Aziz Ansari, and Michael Cera is impaled by a street light pole.
Spring Breakers audiences this weekend were left baffled as they exited cinemas across the country when the film did not result in the film’s main characters ultimately ending up in a snuff film arranged by James Franco’s character “Alien.”
Michael Fassbender may be one of the hottest actors on the scene right now,but he isn’t letting that deter him from keeping his indie cred firmly established.
