Trailer Talk: ‘Blood Out’

— by JOSUE SANCHEZ — Shortly after I wrote about the clips for the movie “Gun” starring 50 Cent and Val Kilmer, I bump into yet another upcoming collaboration by both stars titled “Blood Out.” Actually, after researching the plot and watching the trailer (below), I find I am more[...]

Three Clips from ‘All-Star Superman’

— by ANDY BEHBAKHT — Next week, you will be able to see Grant Morrison’s award-winning “All-Star Superman” in DC Universe’s latest animated movie adaption. After having seen these three clips, I recommend you don’t miss this movie.[...]

Under Review: ‘Putty Hill’

— by BEV QUESTAD — This is a glimpse at the underside of American youth where the disengaged, disconnected, drug-doped undertow of the depressed and depraved self-destruct. Listless floaters, they exist without drive, joy or inspiration. When one of them dies no one cries, not even Mom. [...]

Adrianne Palicki Lassos ‘Wonder Woman’ Role

— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Adrianne Palicki, a “Friday Night Lights” favorite, has landed the coveted Wonder Woman role. Although the actress from Ohio is not listed among my top five choices, Palicki has the look, somewhat, but she doesn’t scream Amazon warrior. Not at all. Suddenl[...]

Five Clips from ‘Paul’

— by ALEXA MILAN — “Spaced,” “Shaun of the Dead,” “Hot Fuzz.” You would be hard-pressed to find a bromance as strong as that of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. After a few solo projects, Britain’s best comedy duo is reuniting onscreen in the sci-fi co[...]

Some Casting News for Dark Shadows

— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — Casting is well under way for Tim Burton’s “Dark Shadows,” which is based from the 1960s serial of the same name. The gothic soap opera originally aired on ABC from June 1966 to April 1971. Created by Dan Curtis, the popular series was about a vampire [...]

On the Set: ‘The Hangover Part II’

— by ALEXA MILAN — When I first saw “The Hangover” its opening weekend in 2009, I think I laughed harder than I’ve ever laughed in a movie theater. There were few moments in that film when I wasn’t at least smiling — the gang’s adventures with Mike Tys[...]

Inception Stars in The Dark Knight Rises?

— by ANDY BEHBAKHT — It looks like Tom Hardy may be joined by two former co-stars in the upcoming Batman movie. The French newspaper Le Figaro has confirmed that Marion Cotillard (Mal from “Inception”) is in talks to join the “The Dark Knight Rises.” The Hollywood[...]

Five Featurettes from I Am Number Four

— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — A few new featurettes for “I Am Number Four” have aired and my interest is definitely piqued. The film looks entertaining and with producers Steven Spielberg and Michael Bay attached, I doubt the film will disappoint sci-fi fans. Directed by[...]

Under Review: ‘Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives’

— by BEV QUESTAD — “Facing the jungle, the hills and vales, my past lives as an animal and other beings rise up before me.” Boonmee predicts his death is coming soon and that dying is like giving a presentation. “You’re both excited and scared.” At first glance, this is a beaut[...]

Spider-Man Movie Gets an ‘Amazing’ New Title

— by SHERICE ANTOINETTE — The next Spider-Man film, starring Andrew Garfield as Peter Parker, will be called “The Amazing Spiderman.” It’s an obvious throwback to the classic comic-book, which was first released in 1963. Although the title isn’t very original, I think it gives Sp[...]

Trailer Talk: ‘Prom’

— by AMANDA KOEHLER — Watching the trailer for the Walt Disney flick “Prom” reminded me of all those great late ’90s, early ’00s teen movies. Remember the prom scene from “She’s All That” when Usher leads the whole senior class in a choreographed[...]

The Top 5 most dateable male movie characters

— by ALLISON HIGGINBOTHAM — It’s not hard to be perfect in a movie. Characters don’t have to snore, chew to loudly, be a neat freak, be so unorganized it’s dysfunctional, etc. If a movie calls for a romantic male lead then gosh darnit there had better be nothing unattractive about [...]
