Simon Pegg Will Stick Around For Mission: Impossible 5

By
After two films in a row, Simon Pegg is now established as a regular feature of the Mission: Impossible universe, so it would seem strange not to have him pop up as tech expert and fledgling field agent Benji Dunn. We won’t have to worry about that for the fifth film, however, as he’s confirmed to MTV that he’s on board.

The movie, which is now set to arrive on December 25, 2015, features Christopher McQuarrie directing and a screenplay by Drew Pearce.

Pegg has also accepted a job to co-star in a rom-com called Man Up, which will see him paired with Lake Bell and directed by The Inbetweeners Movie's Ben Palmer. The script comes from Tess Morris, and featured on the 2011 Brit List, which highlights respected, unproduced screenplays.

Man Up’s basic concept runs thusly: Single woman Nancy (Bell) is on her way to her parents’ anniversary party when she’s mistaken for a stranger’s (Pegg, we assume) blind date. The mix-up leads to their becoming a couple, looking for a flat and being frustrated when a pair of slackers score it instead by pretending to be a professional cou… Okay we made up the bit about the flat.

Palmer, who also worked on The Inbetweeners in its telly incarnation as well as series such as Star Stories, A Bear’s Tail and Bo’ Selecta!, will start cranking the cameras in January.

Bell is coming off of her directorial debut, In A World… and will be seen in Million Dollar Arm and heard in Mr. Peabody & Sherman. The ever-busy Mr. Pegg has worked on Kill Me Three Times, Hector And The Search For Happiness, The Boxtrolls and the pilot for Frank Darabont’s new drama, Mob City.

By
Enter For A Chance To Win Pass To See MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS on December 5th at 7:30 PM in Austin. MARY QUEEN OF SCOTS explores the turbulent life of Mary Stuart ( Saoirse Ronan ). Queen of France at 16 and widowed at 18, Mary defies pressure to remarry. Instead, she returns to her native Scotland to reclaim her rightful throne alongside her cousin Elizabeth I ( Margot Robbie ), who rules as England’s Queen. Rivals in power and in love, and female monarchs in a masculine world, the two must decide how to play the game of marriage versus independence. Determined to rule as much more than a figurehead, Mary asserts her claim to the English throne, threatening Elizabeth’s sovereignty. Betrayal, rebellion, and conspiracies within each court imperil both thrones – and change the course of history.

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...

Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert?

By
Winona Ryder- An "Alienation" Expert? We're halfway checked out for the holiday weekend, so let's end with bit of comedy. A litigious videogame player is calling Winona Ryder to testify as an expert in "alienation." Erik Estavillo has filed a $1 million lawsuit in California Superior Court against Activision Blizzard, publisher of "World of Warcraft," saying it "maintain(s) a harmful virtual environment to many of its customers by forcing them to follow the game's sneaky and deceitful practices." The plaintiff says he suffers from several mental health problems brought on by WoW's "alienating" features, such as forcing beginners to walk or run to get from one point to another instead of speedier options available to those who master the game or buy an expansion pack. Estavillo says that the slow pace is "deceitful" because more time = more subscription revenue for Activision. Here's where Winona Ryder comes...
