Jeremy Piven’s announcement that he’s dropping out of the Broadway production of Speed the Plow due to high mercury levels has infuriated audiences, producers and the show’s author, David Mamet. 

So what poisoned the pervy Piven, causing him to have mercury levels “almost six times the upper limit of normal and allowable” according to his doctors?

Sushi and Chinese herbs.

Huh?

Is that a joke?

That is the worst excuse we’ve ever heard….which only makes us wonder what the real issue is.

Was it too much yayo? A bit too much of the party-hearty? Did the Piv peen get him into some sort of syphilis trouble? Or was Jeremy just not cut out to tackle Broadway?

Law Abiding Citizen See It or Skip It
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!

The Boys Are Back See It or Skip 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.

Jennifer's Body See it or Skip it
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.

See It or Skip It: World's Greatest Dad
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!
