Thanks to his role in Pineapple Express, James Franco has a new fan base: Stoners.

While Seth Rogan readily admits he’s a habitual pot smoker, Franco isn’t, but that isn’t stopping fans of the film from welcoming him to the circle.

Franco says: “Already, I have had people come up to me in cafes and say, ‘Hey, you’re James Franco, right? Hey, I can’t get a hold of my guy - do you know where I can buy some good weed?’ Even in class, I’ve had someone come up to me and [say] ‘Hey! What's up, man?’ and give me a handshake and palm me a little bag of weed. I haven’t done drugs, I haven’t even smoked pot, since high school.”

If Franco has the same effect on fans of his next film, Milk, he’ll be getting a new slew of unexpected offers. He plays the lover of Harvey Milk (Sean Penn), the first openly gay city official in America.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
