The Counselor Review By: MattInRC TWITTER: Does Ridley Scott's return to crime thrillers pay off in The Counselor? Not so much. The well-cast but poorly-edited The Counselor takes too long to suck us in.   Warning: Boring times and SPOILERS ahead! Do you have control of your life once the 'big decision' is made? Job? Marriage? Family? How about a Juarez drug deal gone horribly wrong? That's the premise of The Counselor , a well-cast but horribly-edited film that stunningly wastes all of its assets, making us realize that bad decisions do have consequences. A lawyer ( Michael Fassbender ) on the financial ropes enters the drug trafficking world, only to see his 'investment' stolen by the scheming girlfriend of his naive partner Reiner ( Javier Bardem ). Malkina ( Cameron Diaz ) loves the fine life, climbing the ladder by screwing and (probably) killing her way through men and their money. She's the quintessential 'damaged goods' girl,...

Tom Cruise is reteaming with his Oblivion director Joseph Kosinski for Go Like Hell, a racing drama set up at Fox. The project tells the true story of the competition between the Ford Motor Company and Italian sports car designer Enzo Ferrari , which culminated at the 1966 Le Mans race. It is based on the book Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans , written by A.J. Baime and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2009. Michael Mann was once attached to direct the project. The project is in the early development stages and the script is likely to be overhauled to suit the stylings of Cruise and Kosinski. The studio is said to be making this a high priority with a plan of getting it before cameras next year. Please Leave A Comment- Source- THR

I could waste your time with a preamble filled with Anchorman quotes, or I get right to the good stuff: Paramount has released two new trailers for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues . Both clips are chock-full of the gleeful absurdity that made the first movie such a delight, as well as a few more hints about the film’s closely guarded plot. (There’s more here than we got in trailer number 1 — including answers about what happened to Veronica and Ron’s relationship.) As our story begins, Ron ( Will Ferrell ) has, once again, been eclipsed by his smarter, more capable ladylove Veronica ( Christina Applegate ). Thankfully for him, new 24-hour global news network GNN is looking for a few good men to join its New York City ranks — providing the perfect opportunity for Ron and the old Channel 4 news team ( Paul Rudd, Dave Koechner, and Steve Carell ) to get the old band back together. There, they’ll bring a new sense of fluffy fun to a stuffy network run by no-nonsense Linda Jackson ( M...

The Verdict - Two More New Fall Shows Are Axed By: MattInRC Not one but two new fall shows fall to the axe as NBC cleans house. And more are on the way. It's one thing to have to have the first new show of the fall season cancelled ( ABC's Lucky Seven ) but to have two NBC shows cancelled at the same time is interesting. It was learned Friday that the network had cancelled both Ironside and Welcome to the Family , outdoing the single rejects from ABC and CBS ( We are Men ). NBC had been late to the cancellation party, but the news on Friday sent a clear message: if you don't have the immediate audience numbers, we'll move on with something else. For now, that 'something else' is repeats of favorite shows ( CBS will re-run Big Bang Theory while NBC will air new episodes of The Voice and Dateline ), while the networks reload. Late-season replacements - shows originally deemed not good enough for the fall run but now suddenly look appealing - are probably ...
