Don Jon Review By: MattInRC If you've ever known someone from the East Coast, you'll know they operate with a more...honest nature. If they're in a bad mood, they tell you; if they love you, it's unconditional and usually followed by a crushing hug. For those of us transplants whose overly-gracious nature is missed on West Coast folks, it can be a difficult adjustment. For those West Coasters who might stumble upon the terrific comedy Don Jon , you're in for a schooling on East Coast Attitude 101. Hilarious, irreverent, and totally on the edge of good taste, Actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial acumen will also impress with great performances about a guy with two sexual obsessions. Jon ( Levitt ) is a classic New Jersey boy obsessed with sleeping with as many women as possible. Young and filled with an over-inflated view of himself, Jon and his buddies troll the bars assigning numbers to women before hitting on them. Jon definitely gets the best

Epic tidings, web people. The Comic-Con teaser for The Avengers: Age Of Ultron is finally online and, lo, it is LOUD. Adjust your expectations, because there's zero actual footage here - they haven't started filming yet and that would be magic beyond even Marvel's powers - but there is plenty of excitement and portent crammed into these few short seconds. Grim tidings for poor Iron Man, whose helmet is crunched slowly into Ultron's evil robot bonce. There's also a reminder in those snippets of Avengers dialogue that the crew don't get along that well and have scattered to the four winds. "They’ve gone their separate ways,” Maria Hill tells Nick Fury. “They’ll come back,” Fury replies. “Because we’ll need them to.” We will. Age Of Ultron will see Tony Stark and the gang taking on a brand new threat torn from the pages of Marvel comic lore and given a spit-and-polish origin story for the big screen. Ultron (James Spader) is a criminally insane, sentient

In one of the biggest drama deals this season, after a bidding war, Fox has landed Gotham , from Warner Bros. TV and The Mentalist creator Bruno Heller, with a series commitment. For Gotham, Warner Bros TV is mining one of DC Comics‘ most popular character universes, Batman. It explores the origin stories of Commissioner James Gordon and the villains who made Gotham City famous. In Gotham, Gordon is still a detective with the Gotham City Police Department and has yet to meet Batman, who will not be part of the series. The Gordon character was introduced in 1939 in the very first Batman comic. Created by Bill Finger and Bob Kane, Commissioner Gordon has appeared in comic books as well as Batman films and series, including in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy, where he was played by Gary Oldman. Along with the Superman franchise, the Batman universe is probably the most prized DC property. While Superman spawned the long-running series Smallville, this is the first series featur

" Gravity " is just a little more than a week away from blowing the world's collective mind, so if you aren't already looking forward to the new masterpiece from Alfonso Cuaron , you better start now. Soon it won't be as cool to love "Gravity" because everyone will already be talking about it, so get on it! A new featurette from AMC Theatres does a good job at previewing the movie without give too much away, but if you're totally spoiler-phobic, it's best to stay away from pretty much any promotional material for "Gravity." You should just find your nearest IMAX screen and see it the day that it opens. One of the dozen or so revolutionary things that "Gravity" does is find an actual purpose for 3-D. It's not overdone. When Cuaron does use it, he does so in a meaningful way that communicates space. A wrench will fly just out of someone's grasp or space debris will cloud their area. It's enough to make you forg

Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs 2 Review By: MattInRC The likeable Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 is too damn cute to hate. No joke. Director Cody Cameron's film about food gone horribly awry is sweet, fun entertainment that doesn't pretend to be anything more than what it is. What that is, a movie about food that takes on human attributes, will make you mostly hungry throughout, but will definitely entertain with its cheesiness. Scenes of greasy burgers, sushi, fruits, and deserts perpetuate the environment as scientist Flint Lockwood (voiced by Bill Hader ) attempts to fix his invention which has turned Shadow Falls into a place where food is alive. Almost everyone is back for the sequel, except for Mr. T's police officer Earl Devereaux (voiced by Terry Crews ). Lockwood now works for LIVE Corp, an Apple-like business run by Lockwood's idol Chester V (voiced by Will Forte ), who wants the boy's invention - called a FLDSMDFR - for his own evil plan

The pantheon for Alex Proyas’ new project, Gods Of Egypt , appears to be growing by one. After playing a Spartan king in 300 and saving the President of the United States in Olympus Has Fallen , Gerard Butler wants to become a deity in the film. Well, they say you should dream big… Butler is in talks to play Set, the god of the desert, storms and foreigners in the Egyptian mythology. If he does sign, he’ll be getting violent, killing and mutilating his own brother, Osiris. It's all part of his dastardly plan to murder their father, Ra. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Geoffrey Rush has signed on for that role. His murderous ways bring Set into direct conflict with Osiris’ son, Horus (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau), who teams up with Hathor, the goddess of love, and a human thief, to seek vengeance. Leonidas vs. Jamie Lannister? This could be one heck of a rumble. Burk Sharpless and Matt Sazama are writing the script and Proyas is guiding this one through development. With cas

Rush Review By: MattInRC September continues to impress with the high-octane drama Rush. Apollo 13 director Ron Howard once again writes the book on real-life heroism, producing a compelling and exhilarating study of one of the most famous Formula 1 race car rivalries of the 1970's. An often deadly affair, this sport swallowed up both men and corporations determined to own the road. But what the sport needed was a rivalry to match the menacing machines that sometimes won the day. Enter the British driver James Hunt ( Chris Hemsworth ) and his nemesis Niki Lauda ( Daniel Brühl ), both with wildly different styles but similarly determined to win. Lauda is a brilliant but misunderstood engineer/driver whose banker father looks down on his abilities, while Hunt is the cocky playboy who's as comfortable with his threesomes as he is on the racetrack. Neither likes each other from the start, but both see their careers in parallel as they peel off from the minor-league F3, str

There are two Blackbirds currently vying for your attention. One is a Hitchcockian conspiracy thriller directed by David Mamet and starring Cate Blanchett . The other is a music-biz romance coming together at Relativity, with Gina Prince-Bythewood (The Secret Life Of Bees) at the helm. It's the latter that concerns us this morning, with the news that Minnie Driver and rapper Machine Gun Kelly have both joined the cast. Danny Glover is already on board, along with Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Undercovers, Touch, Odd Thomas) and Nate Parker (Red Tails). The film is about Noni Jean ( Mbatha-Raw ), a musician on the verge of superstardom who's buckling under the pressure and on the verge of suicide until her emotional life is turned around by local cop Kaz ( Parker ). Their parents urge them to put their careers before their relationship, but together they're able to break free from those controlling voices and find their own direction. Driver will play Mbatha-Raw's pushy mo

Verdict: Fall Television Season By: MattInRC Sometimes my boss here at SJF allows me to actually go home and enjoy small screen affairs. I know, reviewing 100 films last year takes a bit of the tan off, but so does watching as much television as I do. This year, the networks are making it even harder, especially with some seriously interesting new shows. As someone who only watches Over-the-Air programming, I have to say that 2013 looks at least on paper to be the most intriguing in several years. Welcoming back our favs Person of Interest, The Big Bang Theory, Arrow, and The Following has kept us busy, while several new shows (some of which with October and November premieres) means our DVR will be humming through Christmas. But, that also means some shows have got to go: goodbye NCIS: Los Angeles (too dull), Hawaii Five-O (Fridays - enough said), and 2 Broke Girls (Denning's boots don't make a show), while Revolution (potentially the most disappointing) could
