BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

First TV Spot For Vin Diesel’s Riddick

You can guess what you’re going to get from a Riddick promo at this stage in the game – heck, any stage in any game, given the presence of Vin Diesel’s tough-nut Furyan. Lots of snarling bad guys, our equally growly antihero and plenty of monsters. A new TV spot full of all of that is below, where they're playing for blood. Because apparently they've run out of straws. And poker chips. And chocolate coins. Richard B. Riddick, this time around, is left for dead on a planet with unique challenges and no small number of dangerous predatory beasts. As if that weren't enough, he also has to face a small swarm of bounty hunters looking to cash in by taking him down dead or alive. With a storm on the horizon and more creature trouble for everyone involved, it’ll be another fight to the death for Riddick and anyone else left standing… Joining Diesel in David Twohy’s latest are Katee Sackhoff, Dave Bautista, Jordi Mollà, Matt Nable, Bokeem Woodbine, Raoul Trujillo, and No...

2013 Big Movie Questions - Q2 Report

We ask the big movie questions and seek film insight for the second half of 2013. By: Matt Cummings As Quarter 2 comes to a close, we look back at some movie questions and make bold new predictions. The year has certainly been an interesting one for Hollywood: a terrible Quarter 1 gave rise to a much-improved Quarter 2. In January, we postulated several questions that are beginning to bear fruit. If you didn't read our Quarter 1 Report, we'll forgive you...this time. We've added those and updated our thoughts on Quarter 2. Enjoy. Did audiences stand in line to see Arnold and Stallone? No - If October 18th's The Tomb or The Plan (or whatever it's called now) also fails to attract success, it should be evidence that both heroes might need to hang it up. Did Q1 produce the same limited amount of quality films, just as it has since....forever? Luckily, NO. We got high-quality efforts than in the last three Winters COMBINED. Gangster Squad and...

The Way, Way Back Review. Wants To Be The Independent Comedy That Can. Unfortunately, It's Not.

The Way, Way Back Review By: MattInRC The Nat Faxon/Jim Rash independent comedy The Way, Way Back tries to evoke the days of summer, when teenage love is in the air and the familiar sounds of swimming pools and family vacations overtake the agenda. Sadly, there's not much more we get from this film, which has all the best intentions but misses badly in several important ways. The teenager Duncan ( Liam James ) and his mother Pam ( Toni Collette , 8 1/2 Women) are headed to a beach house for the summer, along with Pam's new boyfriend Trent ( Steve Carrell , Seeking a Friend for the End of the World ). Duncan is a typical 14-year-old boy who's been shattered by divorce: he's shy, reclusive, and social awkward. His wardrobe yells out of touch, and his poor posture sees him constantly staring at the ground. When the trio arrive, they meet the sexually ferocious Betty ( Allison Janey , The West Wing series) and her daughter Katy ( Ava Deluca-Verley ), wh...

New Featurette From The Wolverine " A Ronin Story"

Ahead of the release of The Wolverine , there's a new featurette explaining the film's storyline and take on the character, with special reference to his resemblance to a Japanese ronin, or masterless samurai. Take a look below for a hint of what we can expect from the movie. This story, set after the events of X-Men: The Last Stand , sees Wolverine ( Hugh Jackman ) "more isolated than you've ever seen" following the death (by Wolverine) of Jean Grey. An old friend, Yashida ( Hal Yamanouchi ) sends an envoy to find him, and offers Wolverine an end to his healing factor and endless life. But there are more dangers in Japan than his own existential angst, so things are never going to be easy for the metal-boned mutant. The Wolverine also stars Will Yun Lee, Rila Fukushima, Tao Okamoto, Svetlana Khodchenkova and Hiroyuki Sanada, with James Mangold directing. Please Leave A Comment- Source-Empire

New Lovelace Movie Poster

If the words ' Deep Throat ' evoke images of shady men in car parks, congratulations, you are officially safe for work. If they conjure more - how to put this? - salty images, that's probably because of Linda Boreman and her career in porno flicks. This new poster for Lovelace shows Amanda Seyfried as Linda Boreman, aka Linda Lovelace , and the film's full complement of period peacocks Appearing alongside Seyfried are Juno Temple, Adam Brody, Wes Bentley, Chloë Sevigny and James Franco . But dominating proceedings is Peter Sarsgaard's Chuck Traynor, Boreman's domineering husband and the creepy svengali who guided a career in skin flicks until she eventually gave up in favour of campaigning anti-pornography work. If the poster's '70s period costumes and disco aesthetic calls to mind Boogie Nights , that may not be entirely accidental. Expect a bittersweet take on an unusually lived life. As the first-look still from Lovelace showed, this biopic wi...
