Do you agree with Chris Rock and Tracy Morgan's TOP FIVE ? Pulsing with the rhythm of his greatest stand-up, Chris Rock’s TOP FIVE takes things to the next level, reveling in the high and the low, and blending a star-studded comedic romp with an irresistible romance. TOP FIVE digs under the surface of show business, politics, rap, and the exigencies of being black and famous today—holding it all up to the light in the way only Chris Rock can. Mingling echoes of Woody Allen and Dick Gregory with the energy of Kanye West and Jay Z, TOP FIVE is an original and radically new kind of American movie. Written, directed by, and starring Chris Rock, TOP FIVE tells the story of New York City comedian-turned-film star Andre Allen, whose unexpected encounter with a journalist (Rosario Dawson) forces him to confront the comedy career—and the past—that he’s left behind.

Comedians looking to stretch themselves as actors are a common phenomenon, but it doesn’t always work out well. Chris Rock is one who has managed some success both in front of and behind the camera, and he’s tackling the subject directly in his new comedy drama, Top Five . The first trailer for the film has landed online. Rock, who writes and directs, also plays Andre Allen, a man once described as among the funniest in America, who swapped stand up for wacky box office hits. Now, though, he’s looking to branch out, and isn’t feeling particularly funny. With an impending wedding to a reality TV starlet ( Gabrielle Union ), his agent ( Kevin Hart ) breathing down his neck and a reporter ( Rosario Dawson ) writing a profile on him and probing his life, he’s trying to figure things out. The main man has assembled a funny cast that also includes Romany Malco, Tracy Morgan, J.B. Smoove, Cedric The Entertainer, Jerry Seinfeld, Sherri Shepherd, Whoopi Goldberg, Ben Vereen, Hayley M

As this new trailer for The Boxtrolls shows, the movie’s titular trolls aren’t the likeliest of superheroes. They live underground, feast on grubs and probably use Ghostbuster II’s slime river for bath times. The MSN-hosted promo reveals them in all their endearingly mucky glory as they go about their garbage-collecting business below their town’s cobbled streets, like a cadre of horror Wombles. The Boxtrolls is the third feature-length effort from those stop-motion whizzes at Laika. Like ParaNorman and Coraline , it promises a meticulously crafted 3D gallivant through a world filled with dark humour and loving lunacy – all seen through a child’s point of view.

Rio Movie Review By: Beevers Rio starts with a baby Blue Macaw watching, from his nest, the other birds of the rain forest dancing, singing, and flying. Just as he is about to try to fly from his nest he sees smugglers catching the other birds and he finds himself caught and stuffed into a cage. Next we see a truck with exotic animals driving through Minnesota and a crate falls out the back. Lucky for this baby bird he is found by a sweet little girl named Linda ( Leslie Mann ). Linda and Blu ( Jesse Eisenberg ) are inseparable for the next 15 years, where we see a great photo montage of them growing up together, which reminded me of Up. Then Linda and Blu are visited by an scientist from Brazil who tells them that Blu is the last known male of his species and that he has a female for Blu to breed with. Linda and Blu soon find themselves in Rio de Janeiro where Blu meets Jewel ( Anne Hathaway ) the female Blue Macaw. Jewel doesn't really want anything to do with Blu, s

Cop Out Movie Review By: SandwichJohn I will admit that I did not have very high hopes for Cop Out when I first saw the trailers. The latest trailer looked more promising but I was still not sure that I would really like this film. I am happy to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. This movie was hilarious! Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan have surprisingly good chemistry. The scenes with Seann William Scott were just fantastic. The films plot centers around Jimmy Monroe (played by Bruce Willis) and Paul Hodges (played by Tracy Morgan), two cops who are suspended from the NYPD at the start of the film. Jimmy needs to come up with $48,000 to pay for his daughters dream wedding so he decides to sell his most valuable baseball card. While at the card shop to have the card appraised he is robbed of both the card and Paul’s gun that he had loaned him. Seann William Scott plays Dave, one of the guys that rob him. Jimmy and Paul set out to retrieve the stolen card and gun on their own. Alon

Cop Out Red Band Trailer When the first trailer for this film came out I really didn't have one bone in my body that wanted to see this film at all. Just another buddy cop movie with Stifler in it. But I didn't want to give up hope on Kevin Smith. After watching this red band trailer and actually laughed threw out the trailer and it gave me hope for this movie. Watch the trailer and let me know what you think. Two longtime NYPD partners on the trail of a stolen, rare, mint-condition baseball card find themselves up against a merciless, memorabilia-obsessed gangster. Jimmy (Bruce Willis) is the veteran detective whose missing collectible is his only hope to pay for his daughter's upcoming wedding, and Paul (Tracy Morgan) is his "partner-against-crime" whose preoccupation with his wife's alleged infidelity makes it hard for him to keep his eye on the ball.
