Trainwreck is smart and funny and its female-centric theme will appeal to many women. I just hope they have the patience to trudge through the slow spots in the story which director Judd Apatow should have trimmed down to a more brisk running time. Amy Schumer wrote Trainwreck and stars as single New Yorker Amy, a feature writer at S’Nuff, a jerky magazine that runs articles such as “You’re Not Gay, She’s Boring” and “You Call These Tits?”. Amy is a Good Time Gal who smokes pot, drinks too much, and sleeps with more than her share of men. Sometimes she avoids the walk of shame, but other times wakes up wondering whose bed she’s landed in (“I hope this isn’t a dorm room” she mumbles after spotting a Scarface poster on the wall of her latest drunken conquest).

Who’ll Stop the Train?: Apatow Matures with Schumer’s Impressive Skills
The most inappropriate element of Judd Apatow’s latest film Trainwreck is its title, which promises to be a bawdy, crass marathon of blatant innuendo with a high potential for poor taste, if judging solely by its marketing publicity and reputation of its director and star/writer, comedian Amy Schumer. What a surprise to find not only a rather mature but even sensible depiction of generally undiscussed difficulties concerning relationships. Schumer shines in her own generously concocted marinade, deftly spinning an excellent characterization for herself while managing a surprising amount of appealing supporting characters. With a running time just falling over the two hour mark, you’re bound to find a few instances worthy of trimming, but Schumer’s pleasurable hurricane hits almost all its marks, a thankful reprieve from the usual glut of testosterone fueled R rated adult studio comedies.

The human head that was found in a Hollywood park Tuesday was photographed by a passerby ... and guess what -- the photo is being shopped around. We've seen the pic -- no, we're not buying it. But it appears to be a male's head with the hair still intact. There's a lot of blood at the base and it does not look like it was cleanly cut off. The skin is very red and there is some decomposition.
