Saw a Film Last Night
One of the best things about LA is that your entertainment dollar goes very far. One reason that is the case is that there are many preview screenings and test screening. Studios with films in post-production are always trying to tweak the film and get test audiences. I'm not supposed to go to these because I'm in the industry but I go anyway.

I generally don't comment on these films because they are works in progress, not the final product and because there might be elements of the film that the studio don't want disclosed to the public before its release. That's why I won't go into specific about the film other than to say that I liked it a lot. The film is Forgetting Sarah Marshall. It's my favorite Judd Apatow-produced film (note: I liked Zero Effect and the 40 Year-old Virgin but didn't like Knocked Up or Superbad).

Quick asides: It was only three-quarters through the film that I realized that a main character in the film was being played by Mila Kunis--who is best known for being in That '70s Show. I think Kristen Bell is a really talented actor. She is best known for the Veronica Mars series (which I have never seen; I know her from Reefer Madness: The Movie Musical which is a really funny movie).
