The 2013 MTV Movie Award nominations were announced, and as usual, they somewhat overlapped with the 2013 Oscars -- and still included movies you've actually seen that weren't uppity enough to be nominated for actual Academy Awards.
Don't like Jennifer Lawrence? How about Mila Kunis? Here she is in an amazing interview, helping out a guy who is so nervous to be interviewing Mila Kunis that he can't help talking about binge drinking with his friends and asking her out on dates.
"I don't want to be a good man; I want to be a great one." So says Oscar, a humble (read: crummy) magician in a traveling circus circa 1905, just before a magical tornado sweeps him and his hot air balloon away to a land that just so happens to share his nickname: Oz. In 'Oz the Great and Powerful,' Oscar (James Franco) finds exactly what his heart desires; the chance to be a great man, wealthy and powerful, the ruler of a beautiful kingdom. And the kingdom does look damn good, and most of Oz's adventures in it are pretty entertaining as well.
The latest evidence for the fact that Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence has the public going "Fifty Shades of Cray" is that clothes worn by her 'Silver Linings' character, Tiffany, have been auctioned off for an eye-watering $12,000.
'Jack the Giant Slayer' may have taken the number one spot at the box office, but no one is celebrating -- it may sit at the top, but it sits at the top of one of the weakest box office weekends since, well, last weekend.
The third row of an IMAX screen is a sufficiently disadvantageous perspective to give you a taste of the way the hero of 'Jack the Giant Slayer' sees the world. From that angle, even regular-sized humans loom ominously overhead; you can imagine how big the giants look. But that's about as impressive as the surprisingly crummy 'Jack' gets.
Today is a good day for the former cast-mates of 'Harry Potter' as not only is Daniel Radcliffe signing up for 'Frankenstein,' while Emma Watson is now in early talks for 'Cinderella,' which will be directed by her 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' co-star Kenneth Branagh.
This week we have four new releases, covering four different genres and targeting four different audiences: fairy-tale action epic, a coming-of-age (21) comedy, supernatural horror, and a submarine thriller.
'21 and Over,' despite being the directorial debut of the odious 'Hangover' writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, isn't quite the bro-fest you might think it is. Yes, it definitely treads a bit into date rape jokes and offers an easy layup to any and all homophobes in the audience (more on this in a bit) but, by some miracle, more scenes than you might expect will actually make you laugh. Despite a premise that has the blur of a Xerox of a Xerox, there are individual sequences that are, surprisingly, clever and endearing.
We're big fans of the video mashup, especially when it combines two things that should never, ever be combined: Like Kevin McCallister and the Iranian hostage crisis, for example.
Last year after the Oscars 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' premiere the fake trailer for the fake movie 'Movie: The Movie' that featured just about every actor in Hollywood. This year Jimmy is back with the sequel no one was asking for with 'Movie: The Movie: V2' with another all-star cast.
Michelle Obama and Jack Nicholson, who, aside from their awesomeness couldn't be more different, announced the winner for Best Picture at the 2013 Oscars -- and it was none other than 'Argo.'
And though he could have, Ben Affleck didn't rub anyone's nose in it. He's a much better person than we are.
