The first DESPICABLE ME was a surprise joy, so I’m curious if the follow up can capture that same magic. It’s always fun when you have a goofy villain as the lead and then a ton of wacky minions, who practically steal the show for every scene they are in. The new poster for DESPICABLE [...]

A new trailer has been released for the sequel DESPICABLE ME 2 and Universal has been listening to fans as the only characters featured in this new trailer are the minions. The yellow pill-shaped beings dressed in overalls (or golf attire in this particular trailer) are back and goofing around like always. We haven’t really [...]

I don’t really consider myself a Katy Perry fan. Sure, I catch myself sheepishly singing along to her latest song on the radio just like everyone else, but overall her music is almost annoyingly pop-y. But to be honest, I was one of the millions of people that had a misconception about the pop star [...]

I’m a huge Tom Cruise fan, I enjoy musicals and I’m an 80′s music junkie, so on paper, ROCK OF AGES was made for people like me. But something about mixing all of these ingredients doesn’t quite work, at least not in the two trailers we’ve seen so far. It’s like mixing ice cream, sushi [...]

Before HOP, I’m not sure anyone took the time to actually think about the preparation that goes into the confectionary side of Easter. According to the opening sequence of the movie, it makes perfect sense that the entire organization is run a lot like Santa’s workshop. Of course, the elves are replaced by fuzzy yellow [...]

It seems you can’t listen to a radio, read the news or turn on a TV without hearing about the ongoing divorce between Russell Brand and Katy Perry. But when the British comedian isn’t busy divorcing beautiful pop stars, he’s trying to build a film career (albeit, not with a ton of success). Next up [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant For those of you that were eagerly anticipating the big screen adaptation of the Broadway musical ROCK OF AGES, today we have for you the first trailer for the ensemble musical. The trailer gives us a bit of everything, but is really light on the Tom Cruise. It almost feels as [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I still say the best Russell Brand is served in small doses, but that’s not going to stop the British comedian from taking on leading comedic roles. Next up for the former bad boy radio host is the comedy THE PRESIDENT STOLE MY GIRLFRIEND, which Brand had this to say; “In [...]

Posted by: Zack Bruce Sometimes I really don’t get casting choices. In Diablo Cody’s directorial debut for LAMB OF GOD, she wanted Julianne Hough and Russell Brand in the leads. Brand is fine but Hough has yet to prove anything to anyone. The FOOTLOOSE remake isn’t a game changer. Cody got her wish and both [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant ROCK OF AGES was one of those films we heard tons of news about during the casting phase just a month or two ago and then everything went a little quiet. Now we’re getting a look behind the scenes, specifically at Tom Cruise who plays Stacee Jaxx. Jaxx is an 80′s [...]

ARTHUR is a long line of jokes and improvisation; some funny, some not. The surprise is that it does feel, at times, that it is just on the cusp of becoming something special. There is comedy here, and truth, but it comes in small doses and doesn’t stay for long. A re-imagining of the premise [...]

Well, the answer is right now as Mr. TC himself has debuted [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant I’m always excited for a new Tom Cruise movie, but I will be the first to admit that I’m nervous about ROCK OF AGES. First, director Adam Shankman seems like a tool and not necessarily the person I’d trust Tom Cruise’s first musical performance with. Second, I’m not sure Julianne Hough [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant It feels like the part of journalist that tries to do an exposé on Stacee Jaxx (Tom Cruise) in ROCK OF AGES would never be cast. However, I’m happy to report that Malin Akerman has landed the gig that was originally offered to Anne Hathaway and Amy Adams. Which means maybe [...]

I don’t go into remakes expecting very much; not because I am inherently offended by their existence (I’ll take a good movie over an original movie almost every time), but simply because, again and again through the years, they just haven’t been very good. That’s why it’s easier to list the names of the rare [...]

Making a holiday movie is a risky proposition. For every ELF or CHRISTMAS STORY, there are a half-dozen JINGLE ALL THE WAYs or SANTA CLAUS: THE MOVIEs, and the icy wastes of the North Pole are littered with the bones of these failures. And a little ways away we find the Island of Misfit Holiday [...]

Posted by: Kristy Sturdivant A new trailer for the upcoming remake ARTHUR, starring Russell Brand, Helen Mirren, Jennifer Garner and Greta Gerwig, has come out and it actually looks a little bit better than the first. Why better? I think it’s because they actually added in the love interest (Gerwig) for Arthur, therefore making him [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Director Julie Taymor is definitely one of those directors that you could call “visionary” and actually be appropriate.
