Recently, we reported that Chris Pine and Jake Gyllenhaal were circling the role as the two princes in Disney’s adaptation of the Broadway musical INTO THE WOODS. Now it looks as though the lovely Emily Blunt will be signing on for the lead. Most of the cast is still in negotiations but we do know [...]
There are three main stars in LOOPER; Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Bruce Willis and the story. With all due respect to Gordon-Levitt and Willis, the wonderfully original story from Rian Johnson is what people are going to remember after they watch LOOPER. Time travel movies are the trickiest of all science-fiction films, with plot holes popping up [...]
The directorial debut of Wally Pfister, called TRANSCENDENCE, is slowly starting to take shape as three A-list actresses are up for the female lead in the film opposite Johnny Depp. Rooney Mara, Emily Blunt and Rebecca Hall are all on the short list for the role of Evelyn. Evelyn is the wife of Will (Johnny [...]
Another batch of set photos have been released for one of Tom Cruise‘s upcoming films called ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, but unfortunately this time we don’t get to see him in his Megaman inspired suit but he is still in some kind of uniform. ALL YOU NEED IS KILL is based on the novel [...]
Sony Pictures Home Entertainment has announced that the action/thriller LOOPER (click the link to read the review), from director Rian Johnson and starring Bruce Willis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Emily Blunt, Jeff Daniels, Paul Dano and Piper Perabo, will be released on Blu-ray December 31st, 2012 (though this is being called a “preliminary release” so that means [...]
A new photo of Tom Cruise running from an explosion in a robot-like suit had been circulating the internet for about 12 hours, but until now I wasn’t sure it was really from the film ALL YOU NEED IS KILL. However, the photo does appear legit and has been confirmed by Warner Bros. Pictures. So [...]
As soon as THE AVENGERS 2 was officially announced and Joss Whedon was officially on board to direct, you had to have known that casting rumors and additional character rumors wouldn’t be far behind. So today we have the first of what promises to be many to come as Ms. Marvel will supposedly be joining [...]
Time travel is always a tricky topic that almost always falls victim to plot holes and added questions, usually relegating the sci-fi film to campy fun or irritating frustration. LOOPER manages to beat the odds and deliver an original high concept film that is both smart and entertaining led by an amazing performance by Joseph [...]
The upcoming time-travel film LOOPER hits theaters next week and as expected, we’ve gotten another new batch of photos from the film starring Bruce Willis, Emily Blunt and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. These photos don’t seem to be telling us any more of the story, but we don’t really need any more details because we don’t want [...]
The international poster for LOOPER has been released and it’s pretty much what one would expect from a poster about a future hitman (Bruce Willis) going head-to-head with his past self (Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Not quite sure how else you would display such a plot on one poster so I think this works pretty well. I’m [...]
Every once in a while a movie just flat out surprises you. It may be one that you heard about in passing, or something that you just checked out because of the star… With the number of films released each year growing, you would hope that the chance to find these gems would increase. Sadly, [...]
It seems like every other day new photos from the upcoming action/thriller LOOPER are popping up, so here’s your batch for today. Lucky for all of us Bruce Willis fans out there, we’re getting some decent shots of him, though they aren’t anything new and exciting. In fact, I’m sure we’ve seen them in one [...]
There have been a lot of promotional images and trailers released for LOOPER lately, and though it’s probably just the right time for the marketing train I can’t help but think it may have something to do with the release of THE DARK KNIGHT RISES this weekend. Since Joseph Gordon-Levitt will be in the Caped [...]
One of the many films I’ve been looking forward to this year is the action/sci-fi film LOOPER which stars one of my favorite actors of all time Bruce Willis. It also stars the amazing Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Emily Blunt, but they just don’t get me as excited for a film like Bruce Willis does. Anyway, [...]
Universal Studios Home Entertainment has announced that the romantic comedy THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT directed by Nicholas Stoller and starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt, will be available in a Blu-ray/DVD/UltraViolet Digital Copy combo pack on August 28th, 2012. Included in the combo pack will be a theatrical cut of the film as well as an [...]
Tracking a young couples love through their unforeseen long engagement, THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT is a delightful comedy mixed with an uncomfortable drama. Tom (Jason Segel) and Violet (Emily Blunt) start out great as a couple everyone hopes to be (other than my wife and I who are perfect). But when Violet gets offered her dream [...]
Although I’m very much a fan of hers now, I have to admit that it took me a while to jump on the Emily Blunt bandwagon. I appreciated her supporting turns in films like THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA and SUNSHINE CLEANING, but it wasn’t until her starring opposite Matt Damon in THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU that [...]
About two-thirds of the way through the first LOOPER trailer, Jeff Daniels says “this time travel crap fries your brain like an egg” and that’s the best way to describe how Hollywood has mishandled the notion of time travel in film over the years. So I’m always skeptical about time travel films, even if they [...]
Bruce Willis has had a rough go of it lately, churning out unwatchable B-movie drivel like CATCH .44 and SET UP (anytime 50 Cent is in your movie, you know you’re in trouble). And his next two films don’t offer much hope that things are getting better with both LAY THE FAVORITE and THE COLD [...]
One of the films that launched Joseph Gordon-Levitt into the movie spotlight (he was already known as a TV star in ’3rd Rock From The Sun’) was Rian Johnson’s BRICK. Joseph Gordon-Levitt was great in the film and anyone who saw it at the time knew that both he and Johnson were going to be [...]
One of the more fun movies of last year was the grand return of THE MUPPETS to the big screen, courtesy of writer and actor Jason Segel. It was hard not to stop smiling through the duration of the film and it was one that I will definitely be picking up on Blu-ray when it [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant The trailer for SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN is a perfect example of how manipulative movie trailers can be. When you sit back and think about it, you realize that the trailer didn’t show us anything that would indicate this is going to be a good film. In fact, some of [...]
Posted by: Zack Bruce So earlier today, we gave you the trailer for THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt. The film was directed by Nicholas Stoller who gave us the great FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL. My only problem with the trailer was that it didn’t really have a good balance. It’s a romantic [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Jason Segel is probably riding high right now after his very successful job in returning The Muppets to film glory. Things look to be getting even better for the comedian with the recent trailer for his next rom-com THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT. The film is about a young couple (played by Segel [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant When it comes time for the fall and winter movie season, most of us look forward to the big awards movies (THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO, J. EDGAR, etc.) or the big blockbuster movies (SHERLOCK HOLMES: A GAME OF SHADOWS). What we’re not used to is looking forward to a [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Muppet fever is spreading rapidly and Disney is hoping it catches on in a big way. The House of Mouse is holding their big D23 Expo this weekend, which is like a Disney-centric Comic-Con. THE MUPPETS ruled the show as Jason Segel and Kermit introduced a couple of cool clips from [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant We’ve been teased with trailer spoofs from the MUPPETS (most recently a spoof on GREEN LANTERN) and as Jason Segel asked in the last one, many fans were wondering when we’d get a full length trailer for the film. Well, today is the day as we actually learn what the plot [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant In what has become one of the most enjoyable marketing campaigns we’ve seen in awhile, THE MUPPETS have given us another teaser trailer for the upcoming film which hits theaters on November 23, 2011. The latest teaser trailer spoofs the film GREEN LANTERN which will be released this weekend. Although GREEN [...]
As you could guess from the title, GNOMEO AND JULIET is the animated gnome-version of William Shakespeare’s famed Romeo and Juliet. Much like the star crossed lovers penned ages ago; GNOMEO AND JULIET is a tragedy, but not for reasons you might think. With an enormous cast of famous voice talent, SHREK 2 director Kelly [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Another teaser trailer for THE MUPPETS has just been released (if you didn’t get to see the first full trailer for THE MUPPETS click the link) and if you weren’t excited then you will probably be now. It’s not long but it’s satisfying and it makes me even more excited than [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant I’m not one to go around singing the praises of movie trailers, but this one was pretty clever. I won’t give anything away and let you watch the trailer below yourself, but let’s just say that I really did question whether or not I uploaded the right video. However, no worries [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The sci-fi film LOOPER from director Rian Johnson sounds very intriguing. It follows a killer (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) who travels through time making hits (as in being a hitman, correct terminology?). Things start to go awry when he must “take out” his future self played by Bruce Willis. The film also stars: [...]
Jack Black is Lemuel Gulliver, an unmotivated slacker working in the mailroom of a New York newspaper spending most of his time playing guitar hero. Having enough of his loser persona he decides to make a change and musters up the courage to talk to his crush and editor of the travel section Darcy (Amanda [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant The upcoming comedy FIVE YEAR ENGAGEMENT has just added another cast member in comedian Mindy Kaling. You may know her best as the bubbly customer service representative Kelly Kapoor on the hit television show ‘The Office’ and may even remember her from such comedies as 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN and NO [...]

Judging from the title and cover, WILD TARGET struck me as a lame kid’s movie. Surprisingly this PG-13 film is actually a dark comedy using murder as its main catalyst that is not recommended for children. Although better than I expected with shockingly funny and original moments, the film falls into predictable traps with the [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Kids movies always do well, so no one should be surprised that RANGO topped the box office this weekend with $37 million. I know it wasn’t your typical animated film and it had a bit of a creepy feel to it, but at the end of the day, it’s a kids [...]
The filmmakers of THE ADJUSTMENT BUREAU had their work cut out for them when it came to bringing Philip K. Dick’s short story ‘Adjustment Team’ to the big screen. In order for it to work, the audience has to buy into two very specific ideas. First, the audience has to accept that in this world, [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment has announced that the comedy GULLIVER’S TRAVELS, starring Jack Black, Jason Segel, Emily Blunt and Amanda Peet, will be available on Blu-ray in a BD/DVD/Digital Copy combo pack on April 19, 2011. The film follows a travel writer Lemuel Gulliver (Jack Black) who takes an assignment [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Each year after the Oscars, Jimmy Kimmel always manages to get some high profile Hollywood stars to do some skits with him on his show. This year he has some leading ladies helping him sell his new workout regimen. The stars he has participating are actually pretty impressive and include: Scarlett [...]

The film follows a politician (Damon) and ballerina (Blunt) who fall in love, which is not what was supposed to happen. They then must keep ahead of a [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant LOOPER is a futuristic action film that follows killers who travel through time making hits (they’re the Loopers). When one of these killers recognizes himself as one of his targets, he hesitates and thus a chain reaction of events begin to occur. The film is gathering quite the cast with stars [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Matt Damon is in the early stages of negotiations to star alongside Sharlto Copely in Neil Blomkamp’s upcoming sci-fi film ELYSIUM. ELYSIUM will be a film set sometime in the future on another planet and the plot will involve action and sociopolitical issues much like Blomkamp’s other film DISTRICT 9. Last [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant So apparently Paul Rudd will not be making an appearance in the new Muppet movie, that’s a bit sad but more shocking than anything else. I thought those Apatow guys were pretty tight-knit, but maybe not. Casting and cameos have been coming in like crazy the last couple of weeks but [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Casting news is still coming in as today we learn that English actors Emily Blunt and Ricky Gervais will star alongside Jason Segel, Amy Adams, Chris Cooper and Rashida Jones in the new Muppets movie. Seems that everyone in Hollywood wants a cameo in the film (as they should) and that [...]
Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant Paul Dano is one of those actors whose name you may not recognize immediately, but his performance on screen lingers in your mind for quite awhile. He is known for his roles in THERE WILL BE BLOOD and LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE and he is in final negotiations to star alongside Bruce [...]
Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Up and comer Emily Blunt is set to be sisters with veteran A-lister Rachel Weisz in an new, improv-based comedy for director Lynn Shelton. Shelton directed the under-appreciated HUMP DAY, which wasn’t improv, but was definitely an original comedy. The actual plot of her next film is not fully known yet, [...]
