 21 JUMP STREET Movie Review By: RAMA So how did RAMA think this movie compared to the T.V. show? Make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . I had my doubts about this, because I grew up watching the original series and so the idea for the movie version to go raunchy comedy instead of serious drama, was a bit off-putting at first. But 21 JUMP STREET proves me wrong. Jonah Hill and screenwriter Michael Bacall’s sense of humor targets those of us who loved Superbad. And Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller clearly were having a blast with the drug jokes, teen party, and the F-bombs and other juvenile mishaps, the movie is filled with one relevant pop culture reference after another. 21 JUMP STREET may not be consistently funny but it has all the elements of an exciting buddy cop comedy. And the surprise cameos by some of the notable faces from the original series, ( SPOILER ALERT !) Holly Robinson Pete, Peter DeLouise, and Johnny Depp...

CASA DE MI PADRE Movie Review By:RAMA How did RAMA feel about Will Ferrell's new movie? Make sure to follow him on Facebook and Twitter . What CASA DE MI PADRE couldn’t fully deliver in comedy, it makes up for it in the concept, the style, and Will Ferrell’s unbelievable dedication to his Spanish speaking role. Ferrell hasn’t been funny in a long time in my opinion, since Anchorman, but seeing him in this different light gives some kind of new-found respect because even though his Spanish is very basic and very limited, it’s more than obvious that the man gives his all. Comedy-wise, CASA DE MI PADRE works well as a satire or a parody, it’s not necessarily laugh out loud but it’s certainly unique… Armando Alvarez (Will Ferrell) has lived and worked on his father’s ranch in Mexico his entire life. As the ranch faces financial strains, Armando’s younger brother Raul (Diego Luna) shows up with his new fiancee, Sonia (Genesis Rodriguez) and pledges to settle all his father’s de...

Over in America, they're still calling Marvel Avengers Assemble by its original title, The Avengers , which means that their new posters say just that: "The Avengers". This also means there's more space for Cap to get up close and personal with the poster viewer, and even a little room for Black Widow to show off just how well her hair conditioner is working these days. Nick Fury also gets in on the action, taking pride of place in his own one-sheet, pointing at gun at someone or something no doubt very, very evil. See all the posters after the Jump... Just beside Nick appears series newbie Maria Hill - played by How I Met Your Mother's Cobie Smulders - a SHIELD agent who's, well, really rather lovely-looking. She also seems to be entirely nonplussed by Mr. Fury's leather-jacket-on-fire problem, but as he's her boss, she probably doesn't want to point out his fashion faux pas in public. Or at all, really. Anyway, enough of that. Take...

Hotel Transylvania finds Dracula ( Sandler ) creating the titular getaway as a safe zone for his monstrous mates. Among the creatures enjoying some well-earned rest away from humans, flaming torches, silver bullets and garlic include Frank ( Kevin James ), invisible man Griffin ( David Spade ), werewolf Wayne ( Steve Buscemi ) and wife Wanda ( Molly Shannon ) and Murray the Mummy ( Cee Lo Green ). They’re also visiting to celebrate Drac’s daughter Mavis ( Selena Gomez ) turning 118. But their idyll is shattered when backpacker Johnny ( Andy Samberg ) stumbles on the place and ends up falling for the fetching Mavis. It’s up to her vampire dad to get the human out of the resort without worrying his guests. We’ll go ahead and guess it doesn’t go to plan. "It's refreshing to go back to the beginning of Dracula – and then have Adam Sandler put his spin on it," director Genndy Tartakovsky tells the paper. "There will be no sparkling skin. But there are a lot of jokes....

As the latest refurbished fairytale film " Maleficent " gears up to start shooting in June, we hear exciting news that "Super 8" star Elle Fanning is in talks to join the ranks of other Hollywood It-girls getting the royal treatment. The Disney film, which tells the children’s classic Sleeping Beauty from the evil witch’s point of view a la "Wicked," would pair up Fanning with Angelina Jolie , who is set to play the role of Maleficent. We think Elle would make the perfect fair-haired Princess Aurora; we can just imagine her now, wide-eyed, pricking her finger on a spinning wheel and collapsing delicately in a cloud of pink. But how does the Fanning-Jolie team stack up to some other incredibly attractive evil queen-beautiful princess pairings of late? 1. Lily Collins-Julia Roberts Lily Collins has the same innocent princess look as Elle Fanning. Trailers show "Mirror, Mirror" to be a cute, light-hearted take on Snow White, and according...
