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

Now don't get confused with the name of the film " Sleeping Beauty " This is no Disney princess movie here. Julia Leigh directed film and is set to premiere at the 64th Cannes Film Festival.

The script made the 2008 Black List of unproduced screenplays grabbing attention in Hollywood. Watch the trailer after the Jump... Sleeping Beauty from Pollen Digital on Vimeo .

Hanna Movie Review By: SandwichJohn I have to start off by saying that this movie was honestly really well made. The direction in the film was just amazing, and the entire movie was like a painting in the making, by the end of the film you got to see the master piece. The Best movie of the year so far. Make sure to come back later this week for my interview with director Joe Wright and star Saorise Ronan . If your going into the film wanting a straight action film then this movie isn't what your looking for. The story is the true star of the movie with superb action thrown in. The movie was directed by Joe Wright who is not known for action movies at all. He is known more for directing period pieces. He has directed films like Pride & Prejudice, Oscar nominated Atonement and The Soloist . With this being his first taste directing action films, I think this is one path if he decides to continue down would be a nice change for the genre of directing action films. And the

Paramount has picked up an untitled comedy pitch from Anna Faris as a starring vehicle for the multi-hyphenate. Joe Roth and Palak Patel of Roth Films are on board to produce. While details of the plot are being kept under wraps, the story revolves around Faris and a new roommate, who turns out to be a stalker from hell. The idea for the project came from Faris’ reps — her agent at Gersh and manager at Anonymous Content — after they heard the comedienne recount a funny incident that happened to her in real life. The idea was further developed by writer Deanna Kizis (who co-wrote Camp Rules for Montecito) and Patel. Kizis will now write the script Faris will exec produce with Doug Wald. One of the few female comedic actresses that can open movies, Faris (Scary Movie, The House Bunny) will next star in Fox’s What’s Your Number, which opens September 30.

In January, Fox executives gave TV critics gathered for their winter meeting an upbeat appraisal of the network's costly and ambitious sci-fi series Terra Nova . With Steven Spielberg lending the project his dinosaur cred, Terra Nova had already attracted lots of interest on the Internet, with fans panting to get a look at a two-hour preview set for May. But even then, key players on the project suspected that the chances of delivering that preview were not good. And though Fox promoted the series during the Super Bowl in February, the network acknowledged weeks later that it would not launch until fall because its visual effects "require more time to be realized." But sources involved with the project say the situation was more complicated than that. With more than a dozen executive producers credited on the pilot and an array of writers coming and going, the series returned from its shoot in Australia in December without enough footage to create the promised two-hou

This is one of the most anticipated film that will be coming out this Summer Cowboys & Aliens . Today Jon Favreau delivered the second trailer for the film. It's not the exact trailer they showed at Wonder Con this year, but is defintaily worth a look. The film stars Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford and Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Adam Beach, Paul Dano and Noah Ringer . Cowboys & Aliens is scheduled to be released on July 29, 2011. Watch the trailer after the Jump... The Year is 1873. Arizona Territory. A stranger named Jake Lonergan (Daniel Craig) with no memory of his past stumbles into the hard desert town of Absolution. The only hint to his history is a mysterious shackle that encircles one wrist. What he discovers is that the people of Absolution don't welcome strangers, and nobody makes a move on its streets unless ordered to do so by the iron-fisted Colonel Dolarhyde (Harrison Ford). It's a town that lives in fear. But Absolution is about to experience

Collider got the chance to talk  Fast Five director Justin Lin about the possibility of him directing a new Terminator film and working with Arnold Schwarzenegger .  Briefly, Lin says he has a take on Terminator he would like to see and that he’s spoken with Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, he’s also looking at other projects and hasn't decided what will be his next directing gig. Speaking of big-budget movies and studio franchises, there’s a lot of talk about you getting to do the Terminator franchise. Is this happening? Are you looking forward to it? JUSTIN LIN: I think one of the great things is that when I got started, no one would return my calls, and now I get a lot of phone calls, which is good. I have options. Terminator was one of my favorite films growing up. And I feel I have a take that I would love to see, and I’ve talked with Arnold and we’ve talked and we’ll see. Again, I would love to do it, but it has to be the right circumstances. It has to be the r

The talent behind X-Men: First Class have revealed possible ideas for the next chapters in the mutant superhero saga. The ending of First Class sets up a potential sequel that will be “even more fun”, according to director Matthew Vaughn. “First Class is similar to Batman Begins, where you have the fun of introducing the characters and getting to know them, but that takes time,” . “But with the second one you can just get on with it and have a rollicking good time,” he continues. “That’s the main difference between Begins and The Dark Knight.” With First Class set in 1962, part two could move on to the late ‘60s – a period Vaughn is keen to x-plore. “1962 is far more grounded in the world of the ’50s,” he says. “I think it takes about five years for a decade to really start getting its identity, so the fun thing about this for me would be doing [a sequel] in the latter part of the decade, where you’ve got The Stones, The Beatles, Flower Power…” There’s also the possibility t

Mickey Rourke got straight to the point when asked about some of his upcoming films. And he is honest and brutal with his answers. I think that it is refreshing when an actor can be honest and be true to himself. But I am sure he will be catching alittle heat over his comments. Rourke talks about how " Terrible " his film " 13 " in which he stars along side 50 Cent and  Jason Statham . Then the shit hit the fan when he talks about his upcoming film " Passion Play ", his movie with Megan Fox , an actress he previously described as " the most talented " he'd ever worked with. You have to see how brutal he is after the Jump.... Let’s start with horror movies: You a fan? Depends. On what? If there’s nothing else to watch. I came here to see Harvey. I don’t know nothing about the movie . What about 50 Cent? He’s hosting. I haven’t seen him. You guys are in a movie together, right? A really bad movie, yeah. What?! Is it out?

Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band to be auctioned off by Profiles in History, run by Joe Maddalena, on May 14 & 15 at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills, CA. John Lennon's draft of "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" contains the opening lyrics to the song that was first inspired by his son Julian's nursery school drawing that he called by the same name (contrary to the belief that the title had a hidden reference to the drug LSD). Along with the lyrics are designs for the album cover and some "rocking horse people," and it is estimated to sell for $200,000 to $300,000. The song is regarded as one of the best songs from the Sgt. Pepper album that is
