Here is the first full length trailer for Need For Speed . DreamWorks Pictures’ “ Need for Speed ” marks an exciting return to the great car culture films of the 1960s and ’70s, when the authenticity of the world brought a new level of intensity to the action on-screen. Tapping into what makes the American myth of the open road so appealing, the story chronicles a near-impossible cross-country journey for our heroes — one that begins as a mission for revenge, but proves to be one of redemption. Based on the most successful racing video game franchise ever with over 140 million copies sold, " Need for Speed " captures the freedom and excitement of the game in a real-world setting, while bringing to life the passion for the road that has made our love of cars so timeless. The film centers around Tobey Marshall ( Aaron Paul ), a blue-collar mechanic who races muscle cars on the side in an unsanctioned street-racing circuit. Struggling to keep his family-owned garage afloat

Remember, remember, November 5? That was the day the news emerged that after the success of The Wolverine - which has the second biggest box office haul of the whole X-franchise, behind X-Men: The Last Stand - director James Mangold, producer Lauren Shuler Donner and star Hugh Jackman were interested in making a third solo Wolverine movie. Now, Jackman has opened up (a little bit) about why he's back on board to Entertainment Weekly . Previously, the 45-year-old Jackman had hinted that his time as Logan wasn't going to last forever. "It’s nearing the end,” he said back in September. “I do feel that. If there are any more movies, there would have to be a really good reason for it.” Fortunately, it seems like a good reason has arrived. It’s nearing the end,” he said. “I do feel that. If there are any more movies, there would have to be a really good reason for it.” “I was on the phone with Jim Mangold last night,” Jackman told EW. “There are some really cool ideas

White House Down DVD Review By: MattInRC The senseless action of White House Down arrives on home video, missing any semblance of heart. Hollywood is in the business of making entertainment that sometimes finds itself in bed with mirror images of itself. Think Tombstone and Wyatt Earp, both featuring the famous Texas lawman and released in 1993, or 1998's Deep Impact and Armaggedon, neither of which was worth the time. Apparently, Hollywood didn't think we had experienced enough White House invasion films in 2013 with the great Olympus Has Fallen , as another one in White House Down has now arrived onto home video The Movie - 3/5 Low-man on the Capitol Police totem pole John Cale ( Channing Tatum , GI Joe: Rise of Cobra) visits the White House to interview for a job as a Secret Service agent, only to be rebuffed by Agent Finnerty ( Maggie Gyllenhaal , The Dark Knight) for being too working class. With hat in hand, he's dragged through a White House tour by h

Approved For Adoption DVD Review By: MattInRC The autopic Approved for Adoption is somewhat charming but its message arrives with mixed results. The somewhat charming Approved for Adoption by Laurent Boileau and Jung Henin is based on Henin's graphic novel about his adoption after the Korean War. Mixing animation and live action, Approved for Adoption is a autobio of Henin, who struggled to understand why his Belgian parents adopted him. The wave of Korean children adopted in Europe after the war was extraordinary, but the adjustment was difficult for many, including Henin who felt as foreign in his own skin as other children perceived him to be. It's being billed as an 'animated documentary' but the mix is too live-action heavy to be truly one or the other. This seems to be part and parcel of Approved for Adoption, as it also blurs the line between a boy's search for answers and the world he can't seem to understand. The animation, a mix of

Here's why a 50-year lawsuit settled this week is important news for James Bond fans. By: MattInRC In Hollywood as in life, all things come around. For fans of James Bond , that time is now. On Friday, we learned that MGM had finally bought the rights to two key Bond baddies: Ernst Stavro Blofeld and SPECTRE , ending a nearly 50-year lawsuit between MGM and creator Kevin McClory . In 1958, he was the man who came up with the shadowy S pecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion organization , which was first featured in 1962's Dr. No . Its bald dictator arrived in 1963's From Russia With Love , with Blofeld later portrayed by the likes of D onald Pleasence and Max von Sydow . It was McClory , not Ian Fleming , who came up with these characters, giving Actor Sean Connery and others a first class antagonist to battle through several films. This left an indelible impression on moviegoers and filmmakers: from Darth Vader to the campy D
