We are pleased to announce a new film clip from Francesca Gregorini's EMANUEL AND THE TRUTH ABOUT FISHES starring Jessica Biel , Kaya Scodelario, Alfred Molina, Frances O'Connor, and Aneurin Barnard debuted on HITFIX yesterday. The film will premiere at this week's Sundance Film Festival.  Emanuel ( Kaya Scodelario ), an acerbic but sensitive teen, lives with her father (Alfred Molina) and stepmother ( Frances O'Conner ). She's on the verge of another birthday-a day she has never cared for since her mother died giving birth to her-when the mysterious Linda ( Jessica Biel ), a young and hip mother, moves in next door. Intrigued by Linda's striking resemblance to her late mother, Emanuel begins to babysit for Linda's newborn daughter. As Emanuel and Linda spend more time together, they develop a bond that becomes deeply entwined in a surprising secret Linda harbors.  EMANUEL AND THE TRUTH ABOUT FISHES is a hyperstylized and often darkly humorous film t...

Hitchcock Review By: MattInRC The biopic Hitchcock doesn't get much beyond the superficial; but you'll enjoy the creepy comedic experience anyways. The films of director Alfred Hitchcock represent some of the greatest of 20th Century cinema: Psycho, North By Northwest, Vertigo, and my favorite Notorious could appear anywhere on a videophile's top 50. There was a grace to Hitch's films, achieving more than merely matching beautiful blondes to good looking men, but wrapping them in terrific stories that grayed everyone's motives before hitting us with suprising and sometimes frightening endings. And while his inventive camera work took us on a visual lecture of Direction 101, it was the man behind some of the most compelling movies in history that have raised the biggest questions. Hitchcock doesn't try to answer too many of those, settling instead on a dramedy that's thin on accuracy but fat with a deep and talented cast. Unfortunately, it...

The touted reboot of the classic sci-fi flick Total Recall may have failed to impress the critics with its clunky plot, but it definitely wasn't short on sci-fi spectacles and bone-crunching action. Sadly, with only so much running time available, not every action set piece made the cut—but this deleted scene totally should have, and would've only added to the sci-fi insanity. With Len Wiseman's (Underworld) remake hitting Blu-ray on Dec. 18, one of the first deleted scenes has leaked out via MTV, showing off an extended version of the carnage-filled rooftop cockpit fight scene that was teased in the trailers and actually looked pretty awesome on-screen. Watch the clip after the Jump... Get More: MTV Shows The remake, starring Colin Farrell in the role made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger, may not have been able to match the charm of the 1990 original—but it definitely gets the edge in action.11 Please Leave A Comment- Source- Blastr Via MTV

The Wolverine's got some making up to do. After X-Men Origins was panned by both fans and critics, the clawed hero needs a fresh start. And according to Hugh Jackman , he's going to get one. In a recent interview with TotalFilm , Jackman discussed the tone of next year's The Wolverine . He claims it won't be a flat-out sequel to its 2009 predecessor. Instead, it will have more of a self-contained story. "We've deliberately not called it Wolverine 2 because we want it to be placed and feel like a standalone picture," said Jackman. "With an all-new cast and setting it in Japan, it's going to give us a whole new visual aesthetic." The actor realizes the property can't thrive on name recognition alone. So they've come up with fresher ideas to get fans to return. That's why they hired screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie. "He's a brilliant writer, and he came up with a concept that was just phenomenal," he exclaimed...

The remake of Total Recall (deemed Total Recall 2012) is upon us, meeting with a frenzy of interest while getting slammed by the critics. But we at SandwichJohn  ( MattInRC ) take a more disciplined approach, and have found many aspects of the new version that kick ass over the original. We think there are clear reasons why TR2012 makes the original its little bitch. What are they? Let's find out. No Mars: Frankly, the idea that Arnold would go to the Red Planet, stick his fingers in some sort of Polish Vulcan arrangement, and suddenly turn the planet into Earth 2 was hard to justify when it came out. Now that we actually know the difficulty of sending people to Mars, the idea is even more wacky. The mutants were silly, and the idea that Arnold and Rachel Ticotin could survive for any longer than 2 seconds without air was ridiculous. Advantage: TR2012 Ridiculous One-Liners: At the time, hearing Arnold state emphatically "Consider it a divorce" after poppi...

TOTAL RECALL Review By: MattInRC TOTAL RECALL is a fun, action-packed summer blockbuster that's great eye candy and just smart enough for us nerds. Make sure to come back soon. We got some information from a source who saw the unfinished film who gave us some comparisons from the unfinished film and the completed movie. I remember watching Arnold Schwarzenegger's version of  TOTAL RECALL  when it came to theatres in 1990: sexy, sultry Sharon Stone , brandishing firearms against Arnold's Doug Quaid as he traveled to Mars to fulfill his destiny. The film raised interesting questions about memory without getting too involved in the discussion. Appearances by the alien named Quatto and Eddie the crazy cab driver turned hitman helped round out what I thought was a pretty good film. But in preparing for this review, rather than leaving its warm glow in my mind, I made the mistake of watching it again. Oh brother: campy and just plain cheesy, TR has...

The new Total Recall may not be getting our asses to Mars - Len Wiseman's reboot is set entirely on our home planet - but judging by the movie's new international TV spot, Earth will do very nicely indeed. There's a whole mess of sci-fi spectacle in Len Wiseman's future world and it's all on display in a spot that's heavy on things going "boom" and very low on safe sky-driving.

IN THEATERS AUGUST 3 Win your tickets to see an advance screening of   TOTAL RECALL ! We have passes to the special advance screening on Aug 2, 2012 at 7:00 PM in Sacramento. TOTAL RECALL  is an upcoming 2012 American science fiction action film remake of the 1990 film of the same name, which is based on the 1966 short story " We Can Remember It for You Wholesale " by Philip K. Dick. Unlike the original 1990 film, the plot of this new version lacks a trip to Mars and contains strong political overtones. In addition, the film also blends Western and Eastern influences together, due to the fact that the two nation states, New Shanghai and Euroamerica are battling for political power. It is directed by Len Wiseman, written by Mark Bomback, James Vanderbilt, and Kurt Wimmer, starring Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy . In a futuristic political setting of 2084, after being devastated by war, Earth is divided into two...

Here is the Total Recall Comic-Con panel via Rponcho . It will seem like you were there, but you didn't have to sleep overnight to get in. After bringing one, unfinished scene to Comic-Con’s Hall H last year, Len Wiseman and his Total Recall cast were back with a sizzle reel full of completed CG work, robot police officers and Kate Beckinsale really trying to kill Colin Farrell . Of course, she was a lot less violent on the panel and Wiseman definitely scored by bringing his other half, plus Farrell, Jessica Biel and consummate showman Bryan Cranston, who got one of the biggest reactions when he wanted to find out how the interpreter for the deaf people in the audience would sign “douchebag” when talking about his character, Cohaagen. The panel was a chatty, funny one, with Farrell tackling everything from filling Arnold Schwarzenegger’s big, BIG shoes and Cranston revealing how everyone in the cast slept with Wiseman to get the role. And Beckinsale was also able to bring u...

Jessica Biel has been cast as Viper in 20th Century Fox‘s The Wolverine . The Victoria/Viper character has a long arc in the X-Men mythology and is a juicy role in the film. According to Marvel lore Viper bounces between good and not so good and she holds some sway over Wolverine but is mostly a foe to the X-Men and Avengers. It will be the second Marvel project for Biel, who also starred in 2004′s Blade: Trinity. She’s next up co-starring opposite Colin Farrell in Total Recall , which Sony is releasing August 3, and Pascal Laugier’s The Tall Man, due out August 31. Please Leave A Comment- Source- Deadline
