Denzel Washington To Star In The Magnificent Seven

By
Lob your mind back a few days – to last week, in fact – when we reported on Training Day director Antoine Fuqua’s surging fortunes and in-demand status. Among several projects he’s pondering is the long-gestating new remake of The Magnificent Seven. And according to Variety, he wants cinema pal Denzel Washington to star.

The news, which was originally broken as a rumor by the Schmoes Know team, is an unsurprising one given the close bond they've formed across Training Day and, more recently, on The Equalizer. And while neither is locked in yet, the chance to work together again, and for Washington to star in a Western, would seem to be a tempting opportunity.

Originally directed by John Sturges in 1960, The Magnificent Seven found the likes of Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, James Coburn and Robert Vaughn as gunslingers that unite to help a Mexican village take on bandits. The movie itself was a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s seminal The Seven Samurai. John Lee Hancock and True Detective’s Nic Pizzolatto are among the writers who have worked on the script for this version so far, with Tony Scott attached to direct at one point and Tom Cruise previously considering starring.

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...
