Oscar winner Sean Penn has pulled out of his next two film projects – the Farrelly brothers highly anticipated Three Stooges and the mob drama, Cartel.

We hope it’s to focus on his family.

He has had a rocky ride with wife, Robin Wright Penn, breaking up and making up twice in the past two years.

Say wha’?

Sean Penn, Jim Carrey and Benicio Del Toro have been cast to star in a new movie based on comedy icons The Three Stooges.

The film, which will be directed by fart-and-piss joke connoisseurs, the Farrelly Brothers, will star Penn as Larry, with Carrey and Del Toro taking on the roles of Curly and Moe according to Daily Variety.

We don’t get it. Now that Sean Penn has mastered the art of smiling in Milk (and that won him an Oscar), he’s moving on to slapstick?

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!
