With filthy, foul-mouthed R-rated comedy making a huge comeback (thanks, in part, to the success of Judd Apatow's films) coupled with the fact that the original cast of American Pie aren't exactly A-listin' it up on the big screen lately -- well, it doesn't take a brainiac to imagine some folks might want to revive the popular teen sex comedy franchise and stick a new one in theaters. Seeing as the direct-to-DVD installments featuring Eugene Levy all did well for Universal, now might be the perfect time to reunite this cast -- all of whom could probably use the extra paycheck (ahem, we're looking at you Tara Reid).

According to Moviehole, that's exactly what Universal is looking to do. Though no one has officially joined the cast (I think it's easy to say Eugene Levy would do it for a credit and a gift certificate to the Olive Garden), but the site claims things are inching along and an announcement could be made soon-ish. One imagines any sort of theatrical sequel would revolve around the married lives of Jim (Jason Biggs) and Michelle (Alyson Hannigan), and perhaps they'll tap in to the recent big-screen pregnancy boom and churn out something like American Baby ... or whatever.

What do you think? Is there room for another big-screen American Pie film? Would you see it?

Amidst playing the offspring of an evil doctor supergenius and doing questionable things flutes, Seth Green and Alyson Hannigan went through the sweet rise and heart-wrenching fall of love on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. But that wasn't the first time these two dated. If you're up on your trivia, or happened to like bad '80s films, you might remember that they were love interests in My Stepmother is an Alien -- both at the ripe age of 14 -- where they set the spark for future romance.

You remember it, right? It's 1988, and the alien otherwise known as Kim Basinger gets sent to earth to investigate scientist Dan Aykroyd. Back then, 14 actually looked like 14, and in the following clip, you can see Green's Fred picking up Hannigan's Jessi for a hot night out on the town, or a hot night at a dance. He's in a pale suit, and she's in a soft pink dress with poofs and lace -- full '80s ensembles and almost no skin showing. They look ridiculous, which is all sorts of cute, and Fred throws around words like "doll." It's almost like a Hollywood version of Linklater's Sunrise/Sunset films. What will be next? Alyson and Seth meeting on another world? They've already tackled witches, werewolves, and aliens!

• Date Movie - Nowhere in the formula "Comedy = Tragedy + Time" does "Cruelty" figure in, something that this caca-palooza -- "from 2 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie" -- sets out to correct from the very first scene. When they introduce us to morbidly obese Julia Jones (Alyson Hannigan), it is with ridicule as they paint her as a hideous beast that makes men vomit and turn gay. Of course, when we remember that 2 of the 6 writers of Scary Movie were Wayans Brothers, whose stock in trade is that kind of cruelty, it makes sense (even if these are another two writers.)

A parody of romantic comedies like Bridget Jones's Diary, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and Hitch, this lame spoof goes for the easy laugh almost every time, beating to death with a golf club every gag with the subtlety of, well ... someone who beats someone else to death with a golf club. The "13" in the movie's "PG-13" rating would seem to be either a limit for either I.Q. or emotional age, as the movie's show pieces are either juvenile blue bits or have something to do with either poop, pee, puke or pus (the dreaded "4 P's"). Putting gifted comic actors like Fred Willard and Jennifer Coolidge in this stinky mess makes them both stinky by association, though as time goes by, the whole lot of them will only be guilty of contributing to a vast background of white noise that we will have learned to filter out when we grow up. Presently #64 on the IMDB's Bottom 100 of all time.
