It's been a while since I've dedicated a post to the man who I'm convinced is one of the most talented people in the world, and since he has two new movies coming out, I thought I'd take the time to do just that.
First up is The Lorax. Next to And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, this was my favorite Dr. Seuss book as a kid. What can I say? I've always been a big tree-hugger.
(I can already hear my more conservative friends screaming about how Hollywood is trying to brainwash their children and to that I say: get a life. Seriously, I could write a whole post on that in itself, but I'm saving my anti-GOP tirade for a post on gay marriage in the near future.)
But back to the subject at hand.
Ed Helms voices the Once-ler, which I think is a perfect fit based on how they're doing the story, but over the weekend I learned that he also contributes to the film's soundtrack. How cool is that? From the previews I've seen, The Lorax is a fun, beautiful movie. Betty White, Danny DeVito, Zac Efron and Taylor Swift also star, and it hits theaters on March 2. Sadly, I probably won't go see it unless one of my friends lets me borrow their kids, but I do look forward to seeing it at some point in the future.
Next is Jeff Who Lives at Home. I've been intrigued by this movie for sometime now, and I'm happy to report that it will be coming to theaters on March 16. (I probably should have titled this post "Next Month in Ed Helms.") It stars Jason Segel as Jeff, a 30-year-old guy who lives in his mom's basement, and Helms as his brother, Pat. Susan Sarandon plays their mother. It doesn't look like the typical Segel or Helms type of comedy, but that's why I can't wait to see it. In Cedar Rapids, we got to see what Helms can really do as an actor, and it looks like he gets to show that off even more in this film. I'll shut up now and just post the trailer for you to watch - no one will ever confuse me for Roger Ebert - but I really am looking forward to seeing this one.

I love Ed Helms! "Jeff Who Lives At Home" doesn't look that appealing to me, but I love him too much not to see it. Bonus points for Jason Segel.
Since Ed grew up in Atlanta I've always wondered if he was a Dawg fan. Kinda doubt it.
Me too! He was actually a little bit of the inspiration behind the book I wrote. Outside of his amazing acting/music talent, I don't know much about him, but I think he went to college out of state, so...
