BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

First Poster For THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG Starring Ryan Kwanten

Here is the first poster for THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG starring Ryan Kwanten, Sara Canning, Will Sasso and Catherine O'Hara . Magnolia Pictures will release THE RIGHT KIND OF WRONG on iTunes/OnDemand February 6, 2014 and in theaters March 14, 2014. Leo Palamino has dedicated his life to what some may call impossible dreams. At least his ex-wife Julie would call them that. But Leo is an expert at not listening to her criticism or anyone else’s for that matter because Leo is a stubborn romantic... An idealist. A dreamer. And to dream big, impossible dreams you can’t listen to the people who tell you that’s what those dreams are. It is precisely this refusal to listen to criticism that drove his ex-wife Julie to blog about Leo’s flaws as their relationship broke down. A blog... called Why You Suck that would become a cultural phenomenon. And so when we meet Leo Palamino, he is a romantic dreamer, a dedicated writer, a dishwasher in a tourist trap, and a celebrity... A man fa...

2 Teaser Trailers For Transcendence

Wally Pfister’s old mucker Christopher Nolan released a teaser for his new sci-fi last week and now it’s the turn of the protégé to step up to the mic. The DP-turned-director is taking a similarly elliptical route to promoting his movie debut, Transcendence , taking a leaf out his Nolan’s book to show a little ankle but not a lot else. From these two new trailers, though, you should get a flavour of what to expect: something cerebral, sweeping and just a little sinister. The first is narrated by Morgan Freeman – yes, Professor Voiceover himself – and the second by its protagonist Johnny Depp . Depp stars as Will, a computer scientist deep into researching the singularity – the point at which artificial intelligence overtakes human and the two begin to merge. From the sounds of the film, that last part is taken literally here, as an incident forces Depp to upload his personality into the mainframe after anti-technology activists attack him.

Unhung Hero DVD Review. Does Size Matter?

Unhung Hero DVD Review By: MattInRC Does size really matter? Unhung Hero seeks answers to the eternal question. Did you see the embarrassing YouTube video of the guy who got his wedding proposal rejected at a UCLA basketball game? The poor dude is Patrick Moote , and the reason for the rejection was later painfully revealed: he suffered from a small penis. This soon spread across the Internet and to talk shows, making Moote a bit of a celebrity. Determined to find out whether he was in fact too small, the actor/comedian set out on a world-wide hunt for answers. He starts at his Pacific Northwest hometown, where he shares the bad news with his parents, moves to a urologist who prescribes a regiment of pills and a pump, and eventually finds himself in Papua New Guinea and Korea to entertain some very unconventional measures. Moote is pumped, pilled, drinks strange concoctions, and later considers injections and surgery to change his length. It's an uncomfortable su...

Inside Llewyn Davis Review. Isn't Terrible, But It's Far Less Than We Had Hoped

Inside Llewyn Davis Review By: MattInRC Inside Llewyn Davis is your typical recent Cohen Brothers flick, which is why we don't like it. The Cohen Brothers are certainly Hollywood's version of the lone wolf. Fiercely independent storytellers who refuse to follow convention, the duo write and direct their productions, a formula which has yielded tasty treats over the years. Fargo and Barton Fink are generally in most people's top 50 movies, while No Country for Old Men has to be on the 'I've seen it once' list of many. Unfortunately, more recent releases have not captured that energy or quirkiness, and Inside Llewyn Davis - while not terrible - is far less than we had hoped. The 1960's singer Llewyn Davis ( Oscar Isaac ) is grumpy and bitter, stuck in a dead-end performance at a local Greenwich, New York club. Davis is experiencing a serious identity crisis, having recently dealt with his singing partner's suicide and struggling t...

American Hustle Review. Proves Hustling Can Be Sexy, Even If You Might Need A Shower Afterwards.

American Hustle Review By: MattInRC David O. Russell's American Hustle is smart, savvy, and an Oscar contender waiting for the call. With so many films this year about double-crosses, you might have become desensitized for them around Summer: Iron Man 3, 2 Guns, The Counselor and at least 5 more all explored the concept, each with mixed results. The problem with the genre is its propensity to get so convoluted that the story leaves audiences wondering if they had just been fleeced of their hard-earned cash. Luckily, best of the them - David O. Russell's American Hustle - comes out just in time to right the ship for Oscar season. When we first meet the 1978 con-artist Irving Rosenfeld ( Christian Bale ), he's engaged in a serious combo-over, readying himself for the biggest swindle of his life. Arrested by the FBI for fraud, he and faux-British sidekick Sydney ( Amy Adams ) are strong-armed into catching New Jersey politicians who are taking bribes. ...

Mandela: Long Walk To Freedom Review. We Had Mixed Feelings

Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom Review By: MattInRC We have mixed feelings over Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom and here's why. If you're a fan of historical drama like us, movies like Lincoln and Elizabeth are must-haves, content to show us pivotal moments instead of epic re-tellings of our titular hero's entire life. Films like those seemed like good ideas growing up, but now they feel too compacted, unable to spread their wings to tell a deeper story. Such is the case with the Nelson Mandela biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom , a film that looks and sounds amazing, is filled with excellent performances, but struggles to cram in every important moment behind the history of a complex man. We first see Mandela as a boy entering manhood during an ancient African ceremony in which he paints his face white then runs with other boys into a lake to wash the color off. This theme of rebirth will be repeated throughout the film, as an older Mandela ( Idris Elba...

Offical Poster For DreamWorks Pictures’ Need for Speed

The poster for NEED FOR SPEED is here. 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.

Struggling to keep his family-owned ga...

Paul Rudd To Play Ant-Man

With Joseph Gordon-Levitt turning his attention to “Sandman,” the “Anchorman 2″ star has landed the coveted lead After months of speculation, Paul Rudd has landed the lead in Marvel’s “Ant-Man” and is now in negotiations to play Hank Pym, multiple sources have told TheWrap . Representatives for Marvel and Rudd had no comment. Edgar Wright is directing the movie from a script he co-wrote with Joe Cornish, and Disney will release the film on July 31, 2015. Kevin Feige will produce for Marvel. In recent interviews to promote “Anchorman 2″ as well as his recent stint hosting “Saturday Night Live,” Rudd has appeared noticeably slimmer, and sources tell TheWrap that’s because he’s training for the physical role of Ant-Man. Rudd and Joseph Gordon-Levitt have been considered the frontrunners for the coveted role since October, though Gordon-Levitt has appeared in several comic book adaptations and is gearing up for another one in WB’s “Sandman.” Rudd is more of a natural fit for t...

Josh Gad To Star In Gilligan’s Island Movie

Josh Gad will co-write and star in a big-screen adaptation of Gilligan’s Island for Warner Bros. Gad’s publicist confirmed a Deadline report that the Tony-nominated star of The Book of Mormon and the voice of Frozen‘s talking snowman will pen the script with 1600 Penn writers Benji Samit and Dan Hernandez. No one is saying which character Gad is keen to play, though. Lloyd and Ross Schwartz, the children of Sherwood Schwartz — who produced the original TV series and died in 2011 — will executive produce alongside Tracey Silvers and Cathy Silvers. Gilligan’s Island ran for three seasons on CBS from 1964-67. It was the comic story of seven shipwrecked passengers of the S.S. Minnow: Gilligan, the Skipper, the Professor, an actress Ginger, Mary Ann, and millionaires Mr. and Mrs. Howell. Gilligan (Bob Denver) was a mishap-prone doofus who always inadvertently spoiled their plans of escape or rescue. After the sitcom became more popular than ever in re-runs, NBC aired several TV m...

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continue Review. Rip-Roaringly Hilarious

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continue Review By: MattInRC The rip-roaringly hilarious Anchorman 2: The Legend Continue s is the best comedy of the year. I'll be honest, I'm not a Will Ferrell film fan - his work on SNL is another matter entirely. Ferrell built his career on Celebrity Jeopardy! and Spartan Cheerleaders, but most of his films haven't matched up. Elf was mildly amusing, Blades of Glory disappointing, and Step Brothers was boring right out of the gate. But there was one Ferrell film I'd watch: Anchorman . There, the jokes ran high and fast, like I had entered a slipstream of awesome and Ferrell was my pilot. And even though audiences generally didn't approve (or understand it) at the time, the antics of the Channel 4 news team slowly grew into a cult classic. The 'salon quality' hair, the mustache, as well as the sexual panache of Ron Burgundy was on everyone's quote list for years until his popularity resulted in something ...

Win Tickets To An Advance Screening For THE WOLF OF WALL STREET In Sacramento

Win Tickets To An Advance For Screening For THE WOLF OF WALL STREET on Thursday, December 19th in Sacramento at 7:30. Revered filmmaker Martin Scorsese directs the story of New York stockbroker Jordan Belfort ( Leonardo DiCaprio ). From the American dream to corporate greed, Belfort goes from penny stocks and righteousness to IPOs and a life of corruption in the late 80s. Excess success and affluence in his early twenties as founder of the brokerage firm Stratton Oakmont warranted Belfort the title – “T THE WOLF OF WALL STREET .” Money. Power. Women. Drugs. Temptations were for the taking and the threat of authority was irrelevant. For Jordan and his wolf pack, modesty was quickly deemed overrated and more was never enough.
