Extract Review

Vic Holtreman — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 02:02:49 +0000

Short Version: Much like Mila Kunis’ character in the film, Extract teases – and while it’s an enjoyable journey, there’s no big payoff and it leaves us wanting more.

Screen Rant reviews Extract

Extract comes to us from Mike Judge, the same guy who brought us Beavis and Butthead, King of the Hill, Idiocracy and Office Space. B&B notwithstanding, Judge’s writing generally delivers low-key (subtle might be the wrong word) humor – the kind that may not cause you to fall out of your chair with laughter, but tickles the back of your brain and sits with you for a spell. Sometimes it takes a while to sink in how really funny it was.

Maybe I forgot that going in – and on the heels of such “laff-riot” comedy as delivered in The ...

Beavis and Butt-Head Promote ‘Extract’ Web Trailer

Ross Miller — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 14:46:41 +0000

Today we have a new web-only trailer for the upcoming Mike Judge film, Extract. After bringing us the likes of Office Space, King of the Hill and Beavis and Butt-Head, Judge’s latest film is about a man who’s one step away from selling his flavor extract factory when a freak work accident sets in motion a series of disasters that puts his business and personal life in jeopardy.

That’s not your usual premise (I don’t think I’ve seen a movie that’s about the same thing), but it’s definitely a pretty good reason to go and see the film. On top of the new Extract trailer, we also have Judge’s classic slacker morons, Beavis and Butt-Head on hand to help promote the film.

Thanks to FirstShowing and Yahoo, check out the ...

New Posters: Saw VI, Extract, Gamer & Lots More

Ross Miller — Sun, 09 Aug 2009 03:57:55 +0000

Question: What do the movies Saw VI, Extract, Gamer, A Serious Man, Whiteout, The Hole, and Law Abiding Citizen have in common? They all have new posters that Screen Rant has for your viewing pleasure, that’s what!

First up is Saw VI, yet another installment in the surprisingly highly successful torture-porn horror franchise, Saw. Maybe it’s the fact that they kicked off this kind of horror movie trend, maybe it’s the marketing, who knows, but for some reason people keep going to see these movies. They lost any intellectual stimulation for the audience a few movies ago, and it’s now all really about how to cram as much gorey traps into the runtime as possible. Saw VI looks to be no different.

The posters show of a peculiar and sinister looking nurse with ...

Vic Holtreman — Sat, 25 Jul 2009 21:42:13 +0000

Josh Horowitz from MTV News moderated. Writer/Director Mike Judge, Jason Bateman and Mila Kunis were in attendence at the Extract panel. The opened with the very funny trailer and followed up shortly thereafter with an extended clip showing the introduction of Mils Kunis’ character.

FYI, if you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can check it out here:

[See post to watch Flash video]

The first clip was followed up with another showing Ben Affleck trying to help hire a male prostitute to try to seduce Jason’s character’s wife so he wouldn’t feel guilty about hitting on Mila’s character.

The next clip showed the next day were Bateman tried to stop the young guy from going to his house, but by the time he gets him on the phone it’s too late. ...

Finally, A Non-Apatow Comedy!

Vic Holtreman — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:43:31 +0000

Yes, I know, God forbid I say anything that is not amazingly positive about Judd Apatow. He’s the latest comedy golden boy and he’s brought us Knocked Up, Superbad, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Pineapple Express. But he’s also been the guy behind Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, Drillbit Taylor and Stepbrothers.

The first batch was funny, but you couldn’t pay me to go see the second bunch. (I tried to sit through Talladega Nights but failed.)

But now we have another film from a guy I really like: Mike Judge.

The film is called Extract, and we have the trailer for you below.

Mike Judge has been involved with such iconic funny stuff as Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill. High on fans’ niche/cult lists is his most excellent film Office Space ...
