Allison Janney is one funny lady. She was excellent in Juno, and hilarious in 10 Things I Hate About You.

Empire Online has all the details on Allison Janney’s two new comedies. The first is This Must Be The Place, which also stars the adorable John Krasinski.

The second is (unfortunately) an Eddie Murphy movie called A Thousand Words. The premise sounds interesting – Eddie plays a man who learns he has only 1,000 words left to say before he dies. But we all know Eddie can’t make a funny movie anymore.

I’ll definitely be checking out the first, since I’ll watch anything with John Krasinski in it (including License to Wed). Janney’s a scene-stealer in any movie she’s in, so I might have to check out the Eddie Murphy movie anyway.

As the new year begins, we tend to look back over the past year. This past year at MovieSnobs, we started a new weekly post called Movie Tunes, which features reviews of movie soundtracks. We covered some great ones last year, so we thought we’d recap them before moving on with 2008.

The first Movie Tunes was one of my favorite soundtracks ever, one of my favorite CDs ever, in fact – Underworld, the Kate Beckinsale vampire movie with the hard rock soundtrack.

We followed that up with two more of my favorite soundtracks – The Punisher and 10 Things I Hate About You.

We covered the movie soundtrack cover album From the Screen to Your Stereo II by New Found Glory. Katy joined in the movie soundtrack fun with reviews of the Mortal Kombat movie soundtracks and the Trainspotting movie soundtracks.

For Halloween, we had a review of the deluxe edition of the soundtrack for The Nightmare Before Christmas, which includes both the original soundtrack and new cover versions of the classic songs by Marilyn Manson, Fall Out Boy, and others.

Starting with my review of the Resident Evil: Apocalypse soundtrack, Mike implemented a nifty “Listen” button like the one below.

Listen to Killswitch Engage – The End of Heartache

In the coming year we’ll be covering movie soundtracks new and old. Join us every Wednesday on MovieSnobs for movie soundtrack reviews.
