The Ice Harvest News

Before a small group of comedy-infused journos, veteran funnyman, director/writer Harold Ramis spent over an hour not just talking about his latest comedy, Year One but outlining his career and the history of modern funnymen as well.

A statuesque Danish beauty, Connie Nielsen has lent her considerable talents to parts that have cast her as everything from Satan's spawn to an astronaut to an emperor's daughter.

Genre: Post-modern Prehistoric Comedy Directed by: Harold Ramis Starring: Jack Black, Michael Cera, David Cross, Vinnie Jones, Juno Temple, June Diane Raphael Harold Ramis' Year One is one of those films that probably sounded like a good idea when pitched to the studio.

Harold Ramis began his directing career auspiciously, helming the golf classic Caddyshack .

No matter who you are, chances are slim that you're as busy as Harold Ramis this week.

Hey, everyone. Capone in Chicago here. Baffling. That's the first and last word that pops into my head when I contemplate Harold Ramis' biblical comedy YEAR ONE, a bizarre throwback of a movie that feels like the Mel Brooks movie that Brooks never actually got around to making.

Plot: With "National Lampoon's Vacation," "Caddyshack" and "Groundhog Day" on his directorial resume, Harold Ramis has certainly earned his place as a comedy legend.

We got an hour with Harold Ramis for our roundtable interview-- an entire hour with the man who directed National Lampoon's Vacation , who was an original Ghostbuster, who helped write Groundhog Day , for god's sake.

"Year One," opening tomorrow, is one of the summer's most anticipated films, especially for comedy disciples who worship at the altar of Harold Ramis, co-writer and/or director of "Caddyshack," "Stripes," "Ghostbusters," and "Groundhog Day." Ramis' last film, "The Ice Harvest," was an atypical gritty comic noir.
