Variety is reporting that Ron Howard, lately of the fairly heavy drama of “Da Vinci Code” and “Angels and Demons” is about to direct Vince Vaughn, notorious for recent works like “Couples Retreat”, “Four Christmases” and “Fred Claus” in a movie about cheating and cheaters and the carnage it inflicts on friendships and relationships.
This is a very strange pairing. I can only imagine, considering the kind of film that Ron is typically offered that he would only do a movie of this kind if the script was rock solid. If the script is good, why Vince? I mean, no offence to Vince but he has his genre and he’s decent at it but with Ron Howard directing it seems like overkill. Hollywood is a mysterious world.

Endy is a slightly mangy and gristly citizen of the Great White North. He loves movies big time. How big? In Canada, back in the old days in the ice city where he lived, there would just be one theatre that would be allowed to show any given movie. Some of these theatres were not the giganto-plex or mall theatres that we know and love today. No no, these were the kind of theatres where you had to wait Outside to see a movie. When a big moving picture would open in these single theatres, beaver pelt sporting fellas like Endy would have to wait outside in line for hours while fighting off the human hankering giant Polar Bear or packs of Endy knawing timber wolves. Endy is a dedicated movie watcher.
Otherwise, Endy loves him a good Moose jerky, football teams with manly names like the Steelers or Vikings and the thawing embrace of his fine German woman. All these things are good. But you know what is best.
