The kids are horror movie "types" — the libidious blonde (Anna Hutchison), her jock beau (Chris "Thor" Hemsworth), the jock's sensitive, "brainy" pal (Jesse Williams), the lovelorn innocent (Kristen Connolly).
Joss Whedon amusingly deconstructs the human race's need for frights, boogeymen and "Saw" sequels with "The Cabin in the Woods". It's a serio-comic blend of "Screan" and "The Adjustment Bureau", more clever than brilliant, more high-concept than meticulously thought-out spoof.

Not your average horror movie spoof
Producer and co-writer Joss Whedon, left, works with co-writer and director Drew Goddard on the set of "The Cabin in the Woods."
In the best "Friday the 13th" tradition, the kids ignore the first sign of warning — the redneck filling-station owner.
They find the cabin, which is remote, rustic and filled with creepy touches, animal sacrifice paintings, masks, puzzles and Latin phrase books out of a horror movies ranging from simple ghost tales to "Hellraiser" extravaganzas.
As the kids lurch toward their fate, the stoner mutters through his smoky haze that they're being watched, that the "puppets" are being manipulated by "puppet masters." And every so often, the film skips off to a vast complex where the stoner's theories are borne out. That's the "Adjustment Bureau" side of the story.
Whedon (TV'S "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," "Alien Resurrection") and director Drew Goddard skip back and forth between these two settings, and all I'll say about the "Bureau" world is that it stars Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford, and its arcane technology and cumbersome chain of command provide most of this "Cabin's" laughs.

'Three Stooges' is highly anticipated
MCCLATCHY TRIBUNE
NEW YORK — The sound of "nyuk, nyuk, nyuk" will be heard across the land when "The Three Stooges" — the Farrell brothers' long-awaited tribute to the slapstick comedy legends — opens Friday, introducing the trio to a new generation of knuckleheads. Although Western civilization has long been divided by certain insoluble cultural questions (Ketchup or mustard? Betty or Veronica? Toilet paper — over or under?), there's never really been any question about which Stooges to bring to the big screen.
PAGE 4
"You can't make the first big-screen studio movie about the Stooges," said writer-director Peter Farrelly, "without it being Moe, Larry and Curly."
But the Farrellys are purists — of a sort: Their own Stooge-inspired oeuvre includes "Dumb & Dumber," "There's Something About Mary," "Me, Myself & Irene" and "Hall Pass." At the same time, in their version of "The Three Stooges," the characters have a backstory: The three brothers (it was never clear that Larry was anybody's brother) are not, for instance, dropped on the doorstep of
The fact is, there were a lot of Stooges, if you count everybody who got bopped, boinked and banged around since the act started in 1922.
the Sisters of Mercy orphanage. The duffel bag they're in is thrown from a speeding car. (Upon opening said bag, Sister Mary-Mengele, played by Larry David, got poked in the eyes by Baby Moe.)
And the studios simply didn't get it. "They didn't see how to bring characters who made films 70 years ago into a present-day setting," he said. "And there was some bad luck, too." The project was at MGM, and MGM went bankrupt. It been delayed for a lot of reasons."
Essentially, said Peter Farrelly, the movie's stars — Chris Dianapontolos ("Up All Night." "24") as Moe; Sean Hayes ("Will & Grace") as Larry, and TV vet Will Sasso as Curly
"We'd meet with big movie stars," Farrelly said, "and they'd say, 'I want to do my take on Larry'. And we'd say 'Uh, no ... we want you to do Larry as Larry, copy his every mannerism, his nasal voice, his Philadelphia accent', and they didn't like that. It was daunting for an actor. We kept losing our people."

Children getting bullied inspires documentary
DETROIT — A parent who's experienced the tragedy of bullying is giving the new documentary "Bully" his endorsement.
Kevin Epling is the father of Matt Epling, a Michigan teen who took his own life in 2002 after enduring bullying. Michigan's new anti-bullying law, "Matt's Safe School Law," was named in honor of his son.
Epling and his wife, Tammy, attended a screening of "Bully" last month at the Uptown Film Festival in Birmingham, Mich.
"It's a very powerful film that shows the inside of what our children are going through," he says.
"Having to sit and watch made us relive our own loss," Kevin Epling says. "It brings that heartbreak back."
But he thinks "Bully" is a necessary movie for a culture that has too long ignored the topic and viewed bullying as a kids-will-be-kids problem.
"it's giving the topic national exposure, because nobody would talk about it," he says.
Seeing the movie — which covers five families affected by bullying, including two who've lost a child to suicide — brought back painful memories for the couple.
Eping has a cameo in the movie in footage near the end of a "Stand for the Silent" anti-bullying rally held in Lansing, Mich., in 2011 that's part of a montage. He met the director, Lee Hirsch, and one of the documentary's subjects, Alex, last year at an event in Washington, D.C.
For about a decade, Eping has been a vocal part of the anti-bullying movement, a cause that's been around a long time but has only recently been covered extensively by the national media. He's co-director of Bully Police USA, a grassroots anti-bullying group. Currently, he's trying to set up school screenings of "Bully" with a major movie chain.
