Olivia Thirlby Cast In Judge Dredd

Olivia Thirlby has been cast as Cassandra Anderson in DNA Films' 3D adaptation of "Judge Dredd." Yes a slow day in the movie world, but hey she is cute and maybe someone is a HUGE fan of Thirlby.

Thirlby, best known for playing the best friend of Ellen Page's preggo character in "Juno," will star opposite Karl Urban's Dredd ("Star Trek," "Doom") in the futuristic action pic. She will play the telepathic rookie who shadows Dredd.

Pic is helmed by "Vantage Point" and "Omagh" director Pete Travis and script is penned by "Sunshine" and "28 Days Later" scribe Alex Garland (both DNA-produced fare). It is skedded to shoot in South Africa this year.

The $45 million futuristic pic is backed by India-based Reliance Big Entertainment and Stuart Ford's aggressive sales outfit IM Global through a deal with Andrew Macdonald and Allon Reich's DNA Films banner.

IM Global will sell the comicbook adaptation, announced during Cannes this year, at the Toronto Film Festival next week.

DNA will also have a major presence in Toronto this year -- the shingle is there with Brit pic "Never Let Me Go," starring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield. The love story, based on Kazuo Ishiguro's bestselling tome and helmed by Mark Romanek ("One Hour Photo"), will screen at the fest Sept. 11 before its domestic release on Sept. 15. Pic unspools at Telluride this weekend.

Movie Review: #Vacation

By Matt Cummings
Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
