Check out the poster for MUSCLE SHOALS , Via Indiewire’s The Playlist: MUSCLE SHOALS will be in theaters and on iTunes September 27, 2013. The film features Aretha Franklin, Bono, Greg Allman, Clarence Carter, Mick Jagger, Etta James, Alicia Keys, Keith Richards, Percy Sledge and more! Located alongside the Tennessee River, Muscle Shoals, Alabama is the unlikely breeding ground for some of America's most creative and defiant music. Under the spiritual influence of the "Singing River," as Native Americans called it, the music of Muscle Shoals has helped create some of the most important and resonant songs of all time. At its heart is Rick Hall who founded FAME Studios. Overcoming crushing poverty and staggering tragedies, Hall brought black and white together in Alabama's cauldron of racial hostility to create music for the generations. He is responsible for creating the "Muscle Shoals sound" and The Swampers, the house band at FAME that eventually

A budding alcoholic, he’s never far from his supersized, whisky-fortified Thirst Master cup.

Lionsgate is working on a sequel to the Summit Entertainment hit movie Now You See Me . As the magician heist film continues to outperform more pricey tentpoles at the international box office, Lionsgate CEO Jon Feltheimer told analysts Friday that production on the sequel is penciled in for 2014. Feltheimer predicted Louis Leterrier's caper-thriller will reach the $275 million mark in worldwide box office grosses. Now You See Me has so far pulled in $115.6 million since its Memorial Day weekend debut, and $119.3 million at the international box office to date. Internationally, the sleeper hit has yet to open in China, Australia and Japan. The mid-price comedy thriller sees Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and Woody Harrelson play gifted magicians drawn into a bank robbery. Lionsgate is projecting that the international take for the Summit film will exceed $150 million. The mini-studio isn't indicating yet whether a screenwriter has been attached to the

Neither of these casting choices are shocks – Mel Gibson was reportedly in talks in June and Antonio Banderas’s named was dropped on Twitter by Expendables boss Sylvester Stallone – but official confirmation has come that both will join The Expendables 3 . The news comes on the heels of 'Willisgate', with Bruce no longer part of the third Expendables cast and Harrison Ford hired in his place. Gibson seems to be relishing the chance to play bad guys at the moment, with a showy villain role in Machete Kills and now this. Perhaps he’s trying to spin his decidedly murky reputation in Hollywood and make a comeback by playing up his dark side. We’re not sure that’ll work, but who knows? Whether Banderas will be on the side of good – represented by Stallone’s Barney Ross and the rest of the MVP OAP AWOL types, blended with some of their younger regulars and some new faces – or evil remains to be seen. As of now, the roster reads: Stallone, Ford, Gibson, Banderas, Jason Statha

Living at the mercy of both friends and strangers, scaring up what work he can find, Llewyn’s misadventures take him from the basket houses of the village to an empty Chicago club – on an odyssey to audition for music mogul Bud Grossman – and back again. Brimming with music performed by Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Carey Mulligan (as Llewyn’s married Village friends) as well as Marcus Mumford and Punch Brothers, INSIDE LLEWYN DAVIS – in the tradition of O BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU? –

We're the Millers Review By: MattInRC Does We're the Millers deliver plenty of laughs, or get arrested for indecent exposure? The problem with today's crass comedies is simple they're just not that funny. Think about what doomed Grown Ups 2 or Hangover III : ill-conceived plots surrounded by skits that relied too heavily on ad-libbing. But when those scenes lead to more groans than laughs, you know the industry has missed the point. Luckily, We're the Millers doesn't succumb to this pitfall, instead delivering lots of laughs and proving that comedies can be a little crass and still entertain. The plot is fairly simple: small-time pot dealer David Clark ( Jason Sudeikis , Horrible Bosses) is forced to drive an RV filled with weed across the Mexican border after his stash is stolen by some local thugs. There's a bit of a cameo here in Clark's creepy pin-stripe suited contact who sends him on the journey, so we won't ruin that one

I GIVE IT A YEAR  Review By: MattInRC If you've been reading us for awhile, you know how much we love the unconventional. Sure, it's cool to see another Iron Man or relish in the world of Star Trek , but ultimately film exists to push to boundaries, regardless if audiences embrace it or not. The oddly rom-com I GIVE IT A YEAR might strike new ground, thriving in the atypical. Whether audiences will accept it depends on your outlook on marriage and love itself. I GIVE IT A YEAR is now available on iTunes/On Demand and in theaters now. After seeing Nat ( Rose Byrne , X-Men: First Class) and Josh ( Rafe Spall ) on their wedding day a mere 7 months after they met, we fast forward to the ninth month and realize marriage isn't as easy as you might think. He's a struggling writer, content to lie on the couch and watch reality television; she's a workaholic and growing very unhappy at Josh's odd behavior and socially crass friends, including his bes
