20 | mike d Tue. Aug. 21, 2007 at 7:13amI just finished watching “A New Wave” thanks to amazon.com
If you’re interested, I posted some highlights (Just click on my name).
I’m not sure if it is a comedy or tragedy or tragi-comedy. But it left me smiling . . . particularly the outtakes. Hilarious!
19 | Jackie Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 6:27pmSee you there, ZachDaniel.
18 | Mose's Awesome Beard Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 3:05pmOnly cool thing ever to happen, moviewise, in CT since… Well, since Mystic Pizza. Or maybe Amistad.
Or Indiana Jones 4.
Ok, so it’s a more crowded field than I originally thought. Still, pretty cool.
“A New Wave” looks awesome. As does “Walk Hard.” I will probably see all of them. Including Leatherheads, but mostly because it was filmed where I live and I got to see the cast around town a little and meet John Krasinski. It was awesome.
17 | JGons Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 11:14amthere are some other office cast members in walk hard: david koechner, ed helms, craig robinson

16 | Mike Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 10:47amthe fan script is actually pretty good. i liked the ending.. nice, subtle nod to jam.
15 | justin Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 10:25amI could swear Jenna mentioned in one of her blogs that she was singing, or working with a voice coach and was really nervous about it? I could be imagining all that though…:) hmmmm
14 | officeisms1978 Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 8:27amI’m from CT but sadly that is no where near me. :(
13 | Shari Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 7:56amWalk Hard looks like absolute gold. Paul Rudd, Jack Black, and Jack White. And of course are Jenna Fischer. I just wonder if Judd Apatow, the man that is writing Walk Hard, will ever direct an episode of The Office?
12 | wesley ward Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 7:55amI also saw several trailers for Jenna’s film “The Brothers Solomon” (with Will Forte - SNL - and Will Arnett - Arrested Development) over the weekend. They showed at least two different trailers and both that I saw included Jenna.
11 | TobyFan Mon. Aug. 20, 2007 at 6:27amoh, and goodness gracious, WALK HARD looks hilarious.
10 | tyler Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 10:55pmyeah, “I don’t do my own singing, but I do my own acting.” teehee.
9 | tyler Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 10:52pmGreat “Weekend Tally”! I’m so looking forward to all three movies…. Jenna’s looks hilarious. I love the trailer - who knew she could throw a punch so well? haha
Also Jenna DID sing at the bird’s funeral in the parking lot… she’s not bad people! It wouldn’t be horrible if that was her singing - hell I’d be impressed.
8 | Joanna Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 10:52pmSweeeeet I just moved to Connecticut and I’m SO gonna be there. Hooolllaaa
7 | Chinaman Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 10:43pmSo many funny movies! I cant wait for “The Rocker” and “Walk hard”!! sorry krasinski, leatherheads looks boring to me.
6 | Charlotte07 Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 9:53pmI believe in many interviews Jenna said she does not do her own singing, but does do her own acting.
5 | PamsTeapot Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 8:57pmJenna said (it might’ve been in her blog, not sure) she would most definitely NOT be singing. I seem to recall actually hearing her say that, not reading it, in an interview. But yeah, sorry vague on the “how I know this” part, but I do distinctly remember her making that clear.
4 | Danna Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 8:54pmYES! I live about 5 minutes away from CCSU! A New Wave, here I come!
3 | Lara Sun. Aug. 19, 2007 at 8:12pmI highly doubt that’s her singing, if it is her voice it sounds like they’ve done a BUNCH of work on it. If I am wrong, she is a great singer. but yea the movie looks good!
