Mike Judge's "Extract"
Not to read like the movie poster, but this weekend you can look forward to shuffling from the office and into the cinema to enjoy “Extract” from Mike Judge, the creator of “Office Space.”
Indeed, from the trailer, Extract looks like Office Space dressed up in a blue-collar shirt and overalls. Out with Initech and in with the production line (do those still exist in America?).
Starring Jason Bateman (Arrested Development), Mila Kunis (Family Guy, That 70′s Show), Kristen Wiig and Ben Affleck (duh), it looks like following the trajectory of Office Space — little buzz –> mild sleeper success –> undying cult smash.

Weekend Movie Preview: Couples Retreat.
Couples Retreat: Vince Vaughn+girls in bikinis=smash-hit movie.
Hey! Another weekend, another movie with Vince Vaughn in it! Does it seem like dude-man is in a new movie every week or two, or is it just me?
Anyway, this is the latest Vaughn-led endeavor. Guaranteed to mildly please and illicit a few laughs intermixed with hot actresses in bikinis and such (as you’ll kindly observe to your left).
Couples Retreat. I’m not sure what the premise for this movie is, but I understand the principle: Throw together Vince Vaughn, Jon Favreau (this one, not Obama’s speechwriter), Jason Bateman, Malin Akerman (that’s, Silk Spectre to you), Kristen Bell, and Kristin Davis (yes, Sex & The City Kristin Davis)…and you have yourself a movie!
This weirdly sort-of-A-list cast comes together for this weirdly sort-of-intriguing movie about four Midwestern couples jetting off for an island retreat to work on their marriages. The reviews aren’t looking too hot, but then what Vince Vaughn movie has been Oscar-worthy material?
