BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

Jared Leto Returns To Acting In Dallas Buyer’s Club

Actor and 30 Seconds to Mars frontman Jared Leto is stepping before the cameras for the first time in three years for The Dallas Buyer’s Club , joining Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner in the long-in-the-works AIDS drama. Canadian director Jean-Marc Vallee (The Young Victoria) is helming the project, which will begin shooting next week in New Orleans. Inspired by real events, the story centers on Ron Woodroof ( McConaughey ), a Texas electrician diagnosed with AIDS and given six months to live, who began smuggling alternative drugs into the U.S. to help himself and other AIDS patients. He added years to his life but rushed headfirst into a collision course with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which was bent on keeping the drugs out of the country. In a potentially standout role, Leto would play a flamboyant cross-dresser with HIV who helps Woodroof. At one point, Gael Garcia Bernal circled the role but never reached the dealmaking stage.

Rumor. Han Solo To Return to Episode 7

You didn't need to be a prescient Jedi master to predict the minute Disney and Lucasfilm made last week’s big, exciting announcement that the Star Wars galaxy would return to our screens, the rumors about who might be involved would start flying. And fly they have, with word on both Harrison Ford possibly being up for a return to Han Solo’s trousers and our first whisper-of-a-rumor about a director candidate. Entertainment Weekly’s new hire, Geoff Boucher (formerly of the LA Times) has a source saying that Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher are all “upbeat” about returning to the franchise that helped launch their careers. While we naturally have to file this one in the soon-to-be-bulging New Star Wars Rumor File, it’s a hopeful sign that we really will see the three original leads passing the torch – or the lightsaber, or the blaster – to new characters. Ford, who has never been the most vocal fan of Star Wars’ scripts, also thought Han should have died in Return Of The Je

MADAGASCAR 3 Blu-Ray Review. Best Of The Three

MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED Blu-Ray Review By: MattInRC MADAGASCAR 3: EUROPE’S MOST WANTED is good family fun that's still not as good as it should, but shines in an excellent Blu-ray release. There's always something wonderfully satisfying about animals that talk. Perhaps this comes from my childhood, when Winnie the Pooh kept me company, or maybe it's the connection we have with our pets that makes us want for them to carry on conversations with us. Disney has made a fortune pulling at these particular heartstrings, bending reality just enough to make us think that our childhood friends, or - in the case of Madagascar - zoo animals could exist in the same world as ours, carrying on complex relationships while sometimes engaging in assorted silly humor for our benefit. Madagascar has enjoyed a particularly successful run, even though it's the weakest of Dreamworks' franchises; its achilles heel lies rooted in both its voice actors, as well as it

FLIGHT Review. Is The Film Oscar Worthy?

FLIGHT Review By: MattInRC Does Flight secure yet another Oscar nod for Denzel Washington , or is this flight stuck on the tarmac?  Warning - major spoilers ahead. Among the best actors of our time, Denzel Washington's resume is unmatched: from Glory and Philadelphia, to Crimson Tide and (one of this year's best) Safe House , Washington's ability to engross us with his roles sometimes outdoes the film itself (think Man on Fire ). His recent choices have taken on morally ambivalent anti-heroic characters, doomed to difficulty, failure, and ultimately redemption. And although Flight suits his Modus operandi, resulting in yet another intense white-knuckled affair, it's the script's inconsistencies that eventually bring this plane down. Washington plays Whip Whitaker, a pilot for the fictitious South Jet Airlines, whose sorted lifestyle choices find him in the first scene passed out in an Orlando hotel room with stewardess Katerina Marquez ( Na

The Cottage DVD Review By: MattInRC

The Cottage DVD Review By: MattInRC  Poor Matt sometimes has to review some really bad movies. But you never know when you'll find a diamond in the ruff. But this movie wasn't one of them. The Cottage reminds one of the advice dispensed by IT professionals to their users in an effort to keep them from navigating to problematic websites: just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Even though one may know how to use a camera, or boasts they can write a script, doesn't necessarily make them a director or a screen writer. And while it boldly claims it is 'based on a harrowing true story,' one would have a hard time selling The Cottage as anything more than a purposely weird, poorly-made production starring an actor whose standing in Hollywood has truly lost its luster. When Michael ( Victor Browne ) and Chloe Carpenter ( Kristen Dalton ) rent their guest home to the shy novelist Robert Mars ( David Arquette , Scream), they have no idea of his alte
