Ever since turning up for a funny bit with Steve Carell at the
Emmys in September, British comedian Ricky Gervais has been back in the news, big-time. He's been rumored as a host for the Oscars (though he
denies that he'd take the job) and even hinted that he
might like to appear on NBC's version of
The Office, the show he co-created.
This weekend, Gervais will be back on HBO — where his second TV series,
Extras, finished its run last year — for the premiere of his stand-up special,
Ricky Gervais: Out of England.
Lakeview Terrace, a thriller starring Samuel L. Jackson,
came in at No. 1 at the box office over the weekend and performed relatively well with an estimated $15.6 million.
One of the things I like best about
Ghost Town is that it doesn't ask anything of you. There's no brain power required, though it's not insultingly stupid or empty. It's not hysterically funny, but it's also not crude or painfully immature.

In the comedy
Ghost Town, Bertram Pincus (Ricky Gervais) is "a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy (Greg Kinnear) who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen (Téa Leoni)."
