Damon Houx — Tue, 07 May 2013 02:45:36 +0000

Ewan McGregor is in negotiations to join the cast of Gavin O'Connor's 'Jane Got a Gun,' which would (hopefully) put an end to the production's endless troubles. He would be starring with his former 'Star Wars' castmate Natalie Portman.

New Movies: 'Iron Man 3′ and That's It

Chris Chaberski — Thu, 02 May 2013 20:05:45 +0000

You've been hearing about it now for months, and it's finally here: the latest installment in Marvel's highly lucrative 'Avengers' film family, 'Iron Man 3.' Apparently all the other movies were a bit scared off, and considering the gigantic openings of the last two 'Iron Man' flicks, it's hard to blame them.

'X-Men: Days of Future Past' Teases Hugh Jackman's Wolverine in New Image

Britt Hayes — Wed, 01 May 2013 01:00:29 +0000

Hugh Jackman is back and reporting for duty as Wolverine in this new teaser image from the set of ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’ It’s a blast from the past… or the future… in this new set image tweeted by director Bryan Singer from ‘X-Men: Days of Future Past.’ Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine returns — or [...]

'Dodgeball 2′ With Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn Is Moving Forward

Damon Houx — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 23:15:00 +0000

'Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story' was a pretty funny movie that was a surprise hit in 2004. It pitted Vince Vaughn and his gang of outsiders against Ben Stiller and his corporate stooges in a winner-takes-all game of dodgeball. When a film does as well as 'Dodgeball' did (it made over $100 million at the box office), a sequel is practically guaranteed, and though it took a decade, it looks like they're finally getting around to it.

'Admission' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Wed, 20 Mar 2013 14:12:15 +0000

Let's not kid ourselves about this. Part of consuming Hollywood entertainment is that, on some level, we like these people. It's strange, but I probably like Tina Fey and Paul Rudd more than actual live humans I've met and have to deal with on a regular basis. Yes, I recognize that I only know them through the characters they play (and that includes their "as themselves" appearances on Letterman's couch or the Golden Globes stage) but their finely sculpted personas of vibrant, clever, likable people automatically gives them lift in any project they choose. When they star together in 'Admission' - a romantic comedy that is just a little bit smarter than the other leading brands - and one where they find a degree of happiness together, well, this puts the movie far off the likability charts.

Mila Kunis Calms Interviewer's Nerves, Is Generally Great

Emerald Catron — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:15:11 +0000

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. Sincerely. He actually does it a couple of times — [...]

Watch This Hilarious Mashup of 'Home Alone' and 'Argo'

Jackie Mancini — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 20:00:36 +0000

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. As we’re sure you know by now, the 2013 Oscar-winning ‘Argo’ was a movie with a pretty intense and historically-accurate conflict driving the plot. Uh, ‘Home [...]

'Monsters University' Featurette: Yeah, it's Kind of a Remake of 'Revenge of the Nerds'

Damon Houx — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 00:00:37 +0000

2013's big summer Pixar movie is 'Monsters University,' the prequel to their hit 'Monsters Inc.,' and a film that we're a little nervous about. Some Pixar sequels are good ('Toy Story 2' and '3' come to mind), but then there's 'Cars 2.' But a new featurette gives us a little more information about the plot, and yeah, it sounds a little bit like 'Revenge of the Nerds.'

'Identity Thief' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Thu, 07 Feb 2013 04:55:52 +0000

Funny is, of course, subjective. I find Woody Allen funny but there are plenty of people who find him about as amusing as being slowly asphyxiated in plastic bags from CVS. Still, I'll hazard to guess that there is no one who will find Melissa McCarthy obnoxiously singing along to Kelis' not-at-all-current "Milkshake" funny. Especially when 'Identity Thief' - a new "comedy" with McCarthy and Jason Bateman - goes to quite successful lengths to make you HATE her character. And you just might wind up hating this movie too.

'Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2′ First Look: Meet the Foodimals

Eric Walkuski — Fri, 18 Jan 2013 15:06:43 +0000

'Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2,' the highly-anticipated sequel to 2009's surprise hit doesn't come out until the fall, but thankfully we have a first look at the animated pic right now: a lovely new image that shows off the movie's bevy of "food-imals," which are just what they sound like! Shrimpanzees anyone?

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'A Christmas Story'

TheFW Staff — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 00:00:26 +0000

Director Bob Clark’s classic holiday comedy has a distinction that few family movies can claim: Most people don’t mind watching it over and over again. That’s probably why TBS airs ‘A Christmas Story,’ the movie based on the works of humorist Jean Shepherd, for 24 straight hours on Christmas Day. Parents love watching Flick get [...]

'Dark Knight' Copycat? Police Arrest Man With Knives, Guns at Ohio Theater

Chase Colston — Tue, 07 Aug 2012 15:26:01 +0000

Police in Ohio have reportedly arrested a man who allegedly attempted to smuggle knives and at least one gun into a late-night showing of ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ at a Cleveland movie theater.

'Waiting to Exhale' Sequel Still Happening After Whitney Houston's Death

Jeff Giles — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 06:00:27 +0000

The long-gestating sequel to ‘Waiting to Exhale’ is still in the works — even after the untimely death of Whitney Houston, who was an important part of the original’s ensemble cast. And as Fox 2000 Pictures chief Elizabeth Gabler sees it, “It’s almost in her honor that we think to soldier on.”

'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Trailer Makes Honest Abe an Action Hero

Mike Sampson — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:00:33 +0000

‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ is a real movie. And this is not, despite its ridiculous premise, something made on the cheap that will go direct-to-DVD. This is a big summer movie from Fox, produced by Tim Burton, directed by that guy who directed ‘Wanted’ and starring some familiar faces. Based on the first trailer, it could either be awesome or completely stupid – so which is it?

'What To Expect When You're Expecting' Trailer Shows the Funny Side of Pregnancy [VIDEO]

This one stars Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock, Anna Kendrick, Chace Crawford, Dennis Quaid, Elizabeth Banks and ‘Glee’s’ Matthew Morrison.

New Madonna Ballad 'Masterpiece' to Play Over Ending Credits of 'W.E.'

Amy Sciarretto — Sat, 03 Dec 2011 04:00:36 +0000

Following an intense month that featured song leaks and speculative global tour itineraries, which were never confirmed, Madonna and her new music are back in the news. Word is that Madge recorded a ballad called ‘Masterpiece’ for her directorial debut ‘W.E.’ (which she promoted on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar recently). Perhaps that title is a reference to the film and the song? Madge, after all, is not known for being subtle or modest.
