Elysium Review By: MattInRC If you had the great luck to check out the Science Fiction surprise District 9 , you were introduced to South African filmmaker Neill Blomkamp , who painted the perfect 'Can't we all get along?' apartheid story. His newest release, the distopian Elysium, isn't as provocative or as meaningful, but it does strengthen his resume as an up-and-coming director in an intriguing batch of rising stars. Set in the year 2154, Elysium is more like A Tale of Two Cities, except this one features an Earth choking on its own pollution, crime, and absolute destitution. Robots patrol the streets, but no one seems willing to stop the human misery. Enter the ex-con Max ( Matt Damon , The Bourne Identity), who's trying to put his life back on track. With his head shaved and a body full of tattoos, Max works at the local plant which makes the robotic henchman who early in the show break his arm while conducting a search. It's in the hospital tha

Following in the ass-kicking footsteps of Gina Carano , Ronda Rousey appears set to become the latest Ultimate Fighting champ to head for the Fast & Furious franchise, closing in on a deal for what is currently called Fast & Furious 7 . James Wan is taking over directorial duties for the new film, which will follow directly on from the sixth instalment and see Vin Diesel’s Dominic Toretto and the gang plunged into what will likely be a mission of revenge after the death of one of their own at the end of that adventure. Assuming she signs on, Rousey would take a relatively small supporting part that will let her do what she does best: cause bruises. With Michelle Rodriguez’ Letty back as part of the team, we’d imagine Rousey will have a serious challenge on her hands. There are few confirmed details on the plot of the new movie, which is once more written by Chris Morgan, though we do know it’ll be set mostly in Los Angeles, albeit with a shoot pencilled in for Atlanta t

A high school senior, charming and self-possessed, he’s the life of the party, loves his job at a men’s clothing store, and has no plans for the future.

The Counselor or The Counsellor? It depends if you're American (the former) or British (the latter), but really, it doesn't much matter. All that counts is that this is Ridley Scott directing a Cormac McCarthy script, with Michael Fassbender starring alongside Cameron Diaz , Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz and Brad Pitt . The film also comes laden with slightly less well-known acting goodness in the form of Goran Visnjic, Bruno Ganz, Natalie Dormer and even Breaking Bad’s Hank, Dean Norris, who all show up in the No Country For Old Men writer's tale of crime, corruption and one man getting into very deep doo-doo. Despite his belief that he can get involved with narco-trading, make a mint and pull the escape cord any time he likes, Fassbender’s main man soon ends up in real trouble, on the run from seriously nasty people. As Bardem says, “You won’t see it coming.” Please Leave A Comment- Source-Empire

After stealing every scene in " The Way Way Back ," Sam Rockwell is in early talks to star opposite Rosemarie DeWitt in MGM and Fox 2000's " Poltergeist " reboot, TheWrap has learned. Rockwell is currently weighing several movie offers and hasn't officially decided to take the part, though an individual familiar with the project tells TheWrap that Rockwell is now the filmmakers' top choice -- and that the actor is intrigued by the prospect of a lead role in a studio movie produced by horror maestro Sam Raimi. Rockwell's representatives did not respond to multiple requests for comment. MGM, which is co-financing, had no comment. Gil Kenan ("Monster House") is directing the "Poltergeist" remake from a script by David Lindsay-Abaire, who penned "Oz: The Great and Powerful" for Raimi. Should a deal work out, Rockwell would play the patriarch of the Bowen family -- they were the Freeling family in the original --

  Blue Jasmine Review By: MattInRC The Woody Allen drama Blue Jasmine wants to be something special, but we know better. Director Woody Allen is persona non grata in our home, having stolen the 1978 Oscar for Annie Hall from Star Wars: Episode IV . That was a dark day in movie history, even though we can thank Allen for introducing us to the modern comedy. But that was four decades and an odd marriage ago, and Allen seems more like someone who would rather surround his movies with a vast array of stars rather than just tell good stories. Blue Jasmine not only proves this status quo but that his seventy-something mentality went out of style years ago. The former socialite-turned-basketcase Jasmine ( Cate Blanchett , Elizabeth) is in serious trouble. Fresh off an FBI investigation over her philandering big-business husband Hal ( Alec Baldwin , The Hunt for Red October), Jasmine has relocated to San Francisco, where her sister Ginger ( Sally Hawkins , Layer Cake

PARAMOUNT PICTURES AND SKYDANCE PRODUCTIONS TAP CHRISTOPHER McQUARRIE TO DIRECT THE NEXT MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE Paramount Pictures and Skydance Productions announced today that Christopher McQuarrie will direct the next “ MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE ” film.

Chris is an extrao

Denzel does have a habit of delivering more than $20 million in box office receipts whenever one of his movies opens. The latest release, " 2 Guns ", is no exception, having logged $27.4 million this past weekend. That's certainly not as stellar as, say, " Safe House " ($40.2 million) or "T he Book of Eli " ($32.8 million) but it's better than " The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 " ($23.4 million). Even the Oscar-bait movie " Flight " has made money, and that's saying something for a movie where all the action comes in the first 15 minutes. In historical context, it's clear that " 2 Guns " didn’t, um, blow the box office away, but Washington still seems to be having a better summer than many. (Right, Ryan Reynolds ?) Sure, Johnny Depp's " Lone Ranger " brought in roughly the same amount in its opening weekend earlier this season — but that flick was a $250 million production. As opposed to, you know, &

Worldwide, the box office belonged to the small, blue types called Smurfs, but American audiences seemed more inclined to watch Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington shoot a lot. Action thriller 2 Guns took the top spot across the pond, earning $27.3 million. It displaced The Wolverine , which fell to second and made $21.7 million. The Smurfs sequel still had an impact in the states, though, taking in $18.2 million. The Conjuring continued to do well, adding $13.6 million in fourth for a current US total of $108.5 million. Rounding out the top five was Despicable Me 2 with $10.3 million. Grown Ups 2 fell one place to sixth, making $8.1 million, while snail ‘toon Turbo dropped from fourth to seventh, taking in $6.4 million. Red 2 was eighth with $5.6 million, while The Heat was ninth with $4.7 million. Finally, Pacific Rim was 10th, earning $4.7 million, for a running total of $92.9 million in the States - which suggests it might yet squeak past the $100m mark and regain i

It’s somehow heartening that, years after it was written off as a joke, shoved into limbo and left to moulder, Doctor Who has now evolved – or re-generated – into something special enough to warrant an entire live show built around the annoucement of the next occupant of the TARDIS. Now, in its 50th year, we know that the 12th incarnation will be Peter Capaldi . Capaldi , who is still probably best known as the foul-mouthed Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It (and to some, forever as the Angel Islington from TV's Neverwhere), will be outsmarting evil, running around, making silly jokes and generally being a meddling mad man with a box. Matt Smith will re-generate into Capaldi's form during the Christmas special this year. “I’m surprised to see the Doctor looking back in the mirror,” he said in the announcement show. “He’s not there yet, but he’s reaching out.” Bets have been taken for months on the identity of the new Doctor, since the role has these days taken on the fer
