THE CHANGE-UP Movie Review By:Rama Ramascreen has delivered us another great movie review for the film The Change-up. Make sure to follow him on Twitter and Like their Facebook page . Holy freakin’ A! THE CHANGE-UP got me laughin’ so hard, I thought I was gonna die! I admit, I had my concerns at first, I thought it was going to be one of those R-rated comedies that only rely on F-bombs and dick jokes and yes this movie has that but it’s got insane surprises that you wouldn’t see comin’ a mile away. You think you have these two lives figured out, that when they switch bodies, you think each of them would just have to deal with and adjust to the other person’s lifestyle, the one that you already have in mind, and that’s it. But nope, both of them have no idea what they just unintentionally got themselves into and that’s where the comedy works… Growing up together, Mitch ( Reynolds ) and Dave (Bateman ) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they’ve slowly

Here is your first look at  Rihanna from the upcoming Battleship movie. In the trailer we never got a good shot of her in the film.

Starring in the film are Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Brooklyn Decker, Rihanna and Liam Neeson . A story of an international Navy fleet engaged in a very dynamic and intense battle against an alien race known as "The Regents". The aliens come to planet Earth, on a mission to build a power source in the ocean. Upon their visit, they come in contact with a navy fleet. The film is also purported to show both sides of the story, from the aliens’ perspective, as well as the humans. BATTLESHIP opens May 18th, 2012 Please Leave A Comment- Source- The Playlist

We were unable to attend the Movies On Demand One On One with Conan's Jason Momoa so who better to ask to attend for us than our good buddy Randy from thearnoldfans . Although the Lionsgate film " Conan " does not come out until next month, I was given early access to interview two lead actors of the film at Comic Con in the press room at the Hard Rock Hotel. Although many of us believe this will not be as good as the epic Schwarzenegger version, I am optimistic that this will still be a fun film and I wish the barbaric actor of Game of Thrones and Conan , Jason Momoa , big success as an actor. On the other hand, I am very disappointed that Momoa does not know " WHAT IS BEST IN LIFE ." That's right, it turns out he has never watched the original Arnold film. "I haven't seen the original movie and a lot of people are kind of upset with me for that but the fact is MY Conan is more of the Frank Frazetta paintings. When I saw those pictures of

Given how many of Marvel’s characters are already up on screen, and how many more are in development, you might imagine that there are very few left kicking their heels in the waiting room, eyeing the complimentary water bottles and out-of-date lifestyle magazines and wondering when their chance at the big screen might come. Well, the Marvel Universe is a big place, so we imagine the room to be about the size of 10 hangers. But now one group of heroes might finally be seeing their number flash on the LED board – as according to Twitch , the company is now pushing ahead with plans for a movie based on Guardians of the Galaxy . Chances are that unless you’re a Marvel diehard, you may never have heard of the characters, and that’s because the team is now looking to tap some of the lesser-known properties for franchise potential. Originally appearing in Marvel Super-Heroes in 1969, they’re a team assembled from various different species and planets in the 31st century with the aim of f

Yesterday Warner Bros. released the first image of Henry Cavill As Superman , and today they  released the first image of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman . JustJared as got their hands on some spy photos of Hathaway's stunt double shooting a scene from the movie. I didn't know that Trinity from the Matrix had a twin sister? Not that I am complaining.
