Comedian H. Jon Benjamin is the man behind that blunt, coarse, stupidly optimistic voice known and loved by fans of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming. In his earlier days, he was the voice of lovable layabout Ben Katz on Dr. Katz Professional Therapist. But his Squigglevision-rendered characters did not stop there. He was also the voice of Professor Parsons on Science Court before moving on to his regular gig on Home Movies as both the hapless has-been Coach Jon McGurk and the snot-nosed sidekick Jason Panopolis. Benjamin also can be heard in episodes of Saddle Rash, Hey Monie!, Space Ghost, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and several other cartoons. His feature-film appearances, sadly, are often obscured by poorly distributed, sharply written independent comedies that have yet to reach their audience. However, you can hear him as the voice of the can of vegetables in one of the more absurd plot threads of the film Wet Hot American Summer. He can also be seen in the satirical comedy Temptation, a film made in accordance...

He can also be seen in the satirical comedy Temptation, a film made in accordance with the Dogme 69 [sic] manifesto that may or may not ever be released. H. Jon Benjamin also shows up on-stage in New York City for the bizarre kiddie show Midnight Pajama Jam and the comedy thing called Tinkle with Todd Barry and David Cross. ~ Andrea LeVasseur, All Movie Guide

The Ugly Truth
Gerard Butler and Katherine Heigl in a completely predictable rom-com. She's the producer of a Sacramento early morning news show, he's the macho on-air personality and sex guru doling out dating advice to her. Gee, do you think they'll hook up in the end? It's a shame this story is so predictable, since the two leads play very pleasant characters whom you want to root for. But alas.

I can't say enough great things about this movie. Not only is this one of my favorite animated movies of all time - and The ol' DVD Guy here is a huge animation fan - but I think this is also one of my favorite MOVIES of all time. Great story. Beautiful characters. Sharp direction provided by (Bloomington, MN native) Pete Doctor. A gem. Get the multi-pack release, for sure - you'll find a nice price on it pretty much everywhere you go, and inside you'll have the DVD, the Blu-ray, and the digital release...that'll cover all your current and potential future viewing of this 'classic-to-be.'
