I have to say, Michael Dowse's new hockey comedy, Goon, looks pretty funny. Maybe it's because I like hockey, especially the grand-daddy of hockey comedies, Slap Shot (with Paul Newman) and I even liked Mystery, Alaska (with Russell Crowe.) Mystery's not really in the same vein as Goon, but Slap Shot sure is. 

The synopsis : "Goon is the story of Doug Glatt (Scott), a down-on-his-luck bouncer, who’s been touched by the fist of God. Upon discovering both his right hook and skates, he joins a hockey team destined for the cellar and inspires them into the playoffs."

Seann William Scott I can take or leave, but Kim Coates (who is so brilliant in "Sons of Anarchy") yelling at his players might be enough to get me into the theater. And I absolutely love that big ole daddy bear Liev Schreiber is the villain here.

JoBlo has new trailer, which is essentially just a longer version of the trailer we showed you a couple of months ago. More flying fists, but somehow a little less blood splatter. Just good dirty hockey fun. 

Goon also stars Jay Baruschel, the wonderful Allison Pill and Eugene Levy. It opens February 2012
