We got our hands on another trailer for the film Richard Ayoade’s new comedy, Neighborhood Watch. But that movie doesn’t exist anymore. Or at least, the title doesn’t. Now the movie is simply called The Watch . The foursome are still part of a neighbourhood watch group formed less from a sense of community responsibility and more from the chance to escape their dull suburban lives and enjoy a little bit of a power trip. But they get far more than they bargained for when they discover evidence that something decidedly otherworldly is going on.. Watch the trailer after the Jump... While the whole alien element has been kept low-key, this latest promo blends the lads exchanging some predictably raunchy banter with some solid evidence that their seemingly quiet little ‘burb has been invaded by some non-human new residents. As for the title swap, that’s been forced by the real-life shooting death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Florida last February. You can see why a film that f

The sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation was supposed to come out this summer on June 29th . But I’ve learned that Paramount is moving the movie nine months to March 29, 2013 , to add 3D. “We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can better box office internationally,” one of the studio execs just told me. “Jim Cameron did all of Titanic‘s 3D in post — and look how well that movie turned out.” Hollywood is shocked that Paramount vacated the primo date, especially because Paramount blew a wad on a Super Bowl commercial and already was starting TV and outdoor ads for GI Joe 2. Paramount has had luck delaying films before: its decision to move Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island gave the director his biggest box office hit ever. And right now, 3D is huge internationally, with Russia and China building new 3D theaters by the week. Also the execs say that the blockbuster performance of The Hunger Games shows that March can be a prime time of the year to release movies

THE DICTATOR Movie Review By: RAMA How did RAMA think this film compared to other Sacha Baron Cohen film? Sacha Baron Cohen is back and hilarious! THE DICTATOR cracks me up and that’s a good thing considering Bruno was a huge let down. Half political satire, half social commentary, and all around comedy, Cohen’s brand of rude humor at times feels like a series of sketches and though THE DICTATOR will not get you laughing the entire time, the character and the concept themselves will tickle your funny bones, one thing for sure, this is definitely a movie not for the uptight and the easily offended.. The heroic story of a dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed. It’s not that much mockumentary style this time around, which I appreciate because after Bruno and Borat, that style does get old. Just the character himself, General Aladeen, is brilliant in my book, Cohen has always been skilled when it comes to

I will be attending a special screening tomorrow night for the film PEOPLE LIKE US , and next month I will  be interviewing star Chris Pine and director Alex Kurtzman  for the film. Via the films Facebook page we got our hands on a new clip and poster for the film. From DreamWorks Pictures comes “ PEOPLE LIKE US ,” a drama/comedy about family, inspired by true events, starring Chris Pine (“Star Trek”) as Sam, a twenty-something, fast-talking salesman, whose latest deal collapses on the day he learns that his father has suddenly died. Against his wishes, Sam is called home, where he must put his father’s estate in order and reconnect with his estranged family. In the course of fulfilling his father’s last wishes, Sam uncovers a startling secret that turns his entire world upside down: He has a 30-year-old sister Frankie whom he never knew about ( Elizabeth Banks ). As their relationship develops, Sam is forced to rethink everything he thought he knew about his family—and re-exami

DARK TIDE Blu-Ray Review By: RAMA Did RAMA get swept away by the tide? Great white sharks never get the best reputation in movies, so DARK TIDE is yet another portrayal, sadly this is one film that gets lost in long winded boring dialogue, with only a few, very few mildly interesting shark encounter shots but they’re not exactly worth the wait. I’m not sure which Halle Berry movie is worse, Catwoman or DARK TIDE… If you’ve come to see Halle Berry in bikini or wearing some tight diving outfit, that accentuates her sexy curves, you’re probably not going to be disappointed because that’s pretty much all that the movie could offer you. The rest, the whole question of ethics, and the trauma over the loss of a friend, the ex-boyfriend using a friend’s skills to make money and the rich stubborn father-son relationship are all over the place, they’re a mess, from the script to the directing to the performances, this movie tests your patience and throws it out the window, I’m not surpri
