BOB MARLEY: ONE LOVE Featurette

War Games Reboot Gets a New Writer and Director

See who's involved in the newest spin on the 80's classic.
One year before 1984's The Terminator, a little cautionary film called War Games arrived, ushering in a new wave of movies featuring computers going serious awry. The original starred Matthew Broderick and Ally Sheedy as teenagers who stumble across a computer that's in charge of launching ICBM's during a nuclear war. The film was a commercial success, but a reboot has been a long time coming.

Early reports saw Director Seth Gordon was originally chosen to head the reboot, but The Wrap now reports that MGM has hired Dean Israelite. Additionally, they've announced Arash Amel will write the script.

With so many directors promising to bring this project back to life over the years, it would seem like a no-brainer. However, we all know how long some of these take before the right mix of people come together. MGM has done several reboots now, including Carrie, Red Dawn, and RoboCop, each with varying levels of success. We'll have to see if this newest mix of creative talent can get what has to be the strongest premise of the above films moving in the right direction.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim
