The Martin Official Trailer: Bring Jim Home!

0
0

Can you believe it's taken this long for the official trailer to make it our way? This has been kickin' around for a while now, whetting our appetites with the irony that Matt Damon also played a "stranded" astronaut in Interstellar (Jessica Chastain was also in that movie!).

Well, here he is, and this time, he's a good guy! Trending on Twitter today is the hashtag #BringJimHome because he seems like a plucky fellow, right? Hell yeah!

The music really helps this one hit home, and it's the perfect movie to end summer. Except it won't be hitting theaters until Oct. 2, allow it to roll in your autumn enjoyment, will you?

Following is the official write up from 20th Century Fox of what appears to be a spectacular time in the theater. 

THE MARTIAN | Official Trailer: During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive. Millions of miles away, NASA and a team of international scientists work tirelessly to bring “the Martian” home, while his crewmates concurrently plot a daring, if not impossible rescue mission. As these stories of incredible bravery unfold, the world comes together to root for Watney’s safe return. Based on a best-selling novel, and helmed by master director Ridley Scott, THE MARTIAN features a star studded cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Kristen Wiig, Kate Mara, Michael Peña, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Donald Glover.

Hell & Back Red Band Trailer: Demons and F-Bombs All Around!

Hell & Back features Mila Kunis, T.J. Miller, Michael Pena, Susan Surandon, Bob Odenkirk, Danny McBride as various characters on an interesting, and animated, curse-filled romp through Hell.

Brought to you by ShadowMachine, the guys who deliver Robot Chicken (always funny), the cast certainly has the chops to make us laugh, although the trailer doesn't do much more than take advantage of the opportunity to prove it's indeed red-band by tossing f-bombs around. 

Maybe it's just me?

The official blurb sent my way follows:

In the outrageous R rated animated comedy from the Animation studio that brought you “Robot Chicken,” “Triptank” and “Bojack Horseman,” three friends embark on a wayward journey into the deepest, darkest depths of hell to rescue one of their own. While navigating their escape, they provoke a slew of misfit demons, a super sexy angel, infamous Greek legends, and the Devil himself; Hell has never been hotter!

Hell & Back will be in theaters Oct. 2.

The Final Girls Trailer: Ch ch ch ha ha HAAAAAA!

0
0

This is right up my ally. I'm a massive horror fan, and when they're a touch on the cheesy side, I love 'em even more.

Well, The Final Girls looks like it takes cues from some of the greatest slightly cheesy horror movies of all time and puts a comical bent onto them, and then infuses them with my other love – television!

How are they doing that? By way of a very talented cast who have made names for themselves on the small screen, including American Horror Story's Taissa Farmiga, The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev, Vikings' Alexander Ludwig, Malin Akerman from the hilarious (but canceled) Trophy Wife, as well as Alia Shawkat, Adam Devine, Angela Trimbur, Chloe Bridges and Thomas Middleditch.

In this film, the girls aren't going to sit around waiting to die, they're fighting back. They know their horror movies, after all. They've seen it all! That's happened before, of course, but there is something about the familiarity of this particular bunch that makes it look even better.

There isn't much about this trailer to complain about, and the film is coming out in theaters and VOD on Oct., 9, so both introverts and extroverts can see it on the same day. Score!

6 Essential Colin Farrell Movies

0
0

After the fiasco that was True Detective Season 2, we feel like we need to remind everyone why Colin Farrell is so damned brilliant.

We've picked six movies where his performances stand out. Some are funny (OK, a lot are funny) and some are moving, but overall, they seem to showcase a range that surpasses the average actors on the street these days.

If you got a taste of him on TV and want to know more, this list will give you a great place to start.

6. Cassandra's Dream

Cassandras dream
Farrell plays one half of a brotherly duo who do something unthinkable for their uncle when they believe they're trapped beyond reason. Farrell's character, Terry, sinks into an unfathomable guilt and despair at what they have done, while his brother, Ian (Ewan MacGregor) goes on to revel in his new life after the fact. Farrell's journey from happy, if hapless, young man to one beyond salvation is brilliant.

5. Phone Booth

Phone booth
In Phone Booth, Colin Farrell proves he can lead a movie. He plays a married man who has been having an affair who uses the last phone booth in NYC to call his lover. He's then held hostage inside at gunpoint until he agrees to tell various truths, lest the lives of many others be lost. It sounds ludicrous, and in other, less capable hands it could have been. Instead, Farrell's emotional range makes for a rather gripping thriller.

4. Fright Night

Fright night
Farrell got sucked into a few remakes (S.W.A.T., Miami Vice, Total Recall), but Fright Night is actually pretty good. His Jerry is a bit different than that featured in the original, with a darker, sexier vibe. It's not the first time he's been allowed to play tongue-in-cheek, but it's the first time on this list.

3. Seven Psychopaths

Seven psychopaths
Here, Farrell plays Marty, a disillusioned screenwriter trying to finish his screenplay, Seven Psychopaths. This is a quirky, meta film co-starring Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson and Christopher Walken, among others as the actual psychopaths on which Marty bases his story. It's Farrell's second outing with director Martin McDonagh and, although not a box office success, definitely showcases Farrell as a comedic talent.

2. Horrible Bosses

Horrible bosses
In this small role as Bobby Pellit, not only is he virtually unrecognizable as the balding boss sporting a barely there comb-over, he steals the show. Simply every scene he's in is one to relish and remember. You know a leading man has IT when they're willing to take on roles of this nature and dive in head first. Colin Farrell has IT.

1. In Bruges

In bruges
Only watching In Bruges could wash the bad taste out of my mouth left after 8.5 hours of True Detective. Not only is the movie itself perfection, Colin Farrell is, as well. His lines are delivered with comic precision one moment, and he allows a single tear to make a statement the next. Farrell's performance is unforgettable. Every time you watch, you are moved, whether to laugh out loud or cry in your beer. With the range he shows in this one role, he proves there is absolutely nothing he can't accomplish, as long as the script and editing allow.

Amy Schumer and Jennifer Lawrence Co-Writing a Screenplay, Playing Sisters!

0

Talk about a match made in Hollywood heaven!

Blonde bombshells (and new BFFs) Amy Schumer (Trainwreck) and Jennifer Lawrence (The Hunger Games saga) are co-writing a screenplay for a comedy film in which the two will portray sisters. While this isn't by any means Schumer's first foray into the screenwriting biz, this joint effort marks Lawrence's behind-the-scenes debut. Both have proven time and again that they're two hilarious women (both on- and off-screen) so I have high hopes that this upcoming movie will be one for the books!

Amy Schumer
Jennifer Lawrence

Lawrence revealed the news on Wednesday morning, during a New York Times interview. The interview was actually about Lawrence's final bow playing heroine Katniss Everdeen in the upcoming The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2, but it sounds like she was just so damn excited about her new project that she couldn't help but spill the beans. The Oscar-winning star said that she and Schumer had already completed about 100 pages of the script. Lawrence went on to sing Schumer's praises, speaking highly of their easy-breezy collaborative creative process:

Amy and I were creatively made for each other. We have different flavors. It’s been the most fun experience of my life. We start the day off on the phone, laughing. And then we send each other pages. And we crack up. I’m flying out tomorrow to see her in Chicago. We’ll write a little bit with her sister, Kim, who worked with Amy when she was writing ‘Trainwreck.’ (New York Times)

We don't blame the 25-year-old mega-star for breaking the news so early into the project's development -- we're pretty excited too, JLaw!

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol. 2 Casting News: Vin Diesel Is Back!

0

Casting news for Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2 has revealed that Vin Diesel (Fast & Furious) will be back to voice everyone's favorite tree superhero, Groot.

Yes, we will all get to hear"I am Groot" again!!

Guardians of the Galaxy Groot Blooper Reel

The news emerged via a Facebook Q&A with director, James Gunn who accidently dropped the news when a fan asked if Diesel would appear in the third film of the series. Whoops, but at least it kind of confirmed that we will see Groot for both the second and third film.

But does this mean Groot will actually get more lines then "I am Groot" and "We are Groot"?... Only time will tell.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Vol.2 will hit cinemas May 5, 2017!

Sam Heughan and Melissa Benoist to Fall in Love in Oxford

0
0

If Screen Gems is looking to capitalize on the success of a television audience for their new film, Oxford, they couldn't have picked a better on-screen couple than Outlander's Sam Heughan and Supergirl's Melissa Benoist.

Oxford Casting

Deadline first reported the news of this heaven-sent match. Details about Oxford ensure it will be a flick requiring a fresh packet of tissues be toted along to the theater, and perhaps a strong shoulder to cry upon. 

Soon after arriving at Oxford University, an American Rhodes Scholar (Benoist) falls for an arrogant teaching assistant (Heughan) who is quietly fighting terminal cancer. When she discovers the reasons for his behavior, the two connect and make the most of life going forward, traveling the world.

Honestly, it sounds a little cheesy and gives me the Autumn in New York (Winona Ryder and Richard Gere) vibe. However, there is little doubt Heughan can act the hell out of any material he's given and will suck you right into it with him. If he's dying of cancer, we'll feel it.

Benoist, meanwhile, has been in her share of films recently, including Whiplash, Danny Collins and The Longest Ride

This is definitely one we want to keep our eyes on as news progresses!!

Horror Writer, Producer, Director Wes Craven Dead at 76

0
0

Wes Craven, prolific horror writer, producer and director passed away at the age of 76 in Los Angeles after a battle with brain cancer.

Wes Craven

Mr. Craven is best known for writing the Nightmare on Elm Street series, but his career as a writer began in 1972 with The Last House on the Left, a tingling thriller where two young girls's night out to a concert ends in terrifying torture and murder. He also produced the 2009 remake of The Last House on the Left in 2009.

Craven went on to direct the Scream franchise and was currently an executive producer on the Scream TV series on MTV.

9 Memorable Wes Craven Movies

0
0

Wes Craven had an incredible body of work, most notably in the horror genre and with thrillers. This exercise also pulled out a surprise in which he directed Meryl Streep in an Academy Award nominated performance. What were some of his more notable movies?

Take a look at what we've come up with and share your memories of the writer, director and producer in the comments!

1. A Nightmare on Elm Street

A nightmare on elm street
A Nightmare on Elm Street is probably Craven's most notable work, as he wrote and directed the classic that would span many sequels. It also made any of us who watched it question our nightmares -- those we have while asleep and awake. Do we ever know what's real?

2. The Last House on the Left

The last house on the left
The first move that Craven wrote and directed, his first feature ever, was The Last House on the Left. It was a horrific look at two young girls who are brutally tortured and murdered on what was to be a fun night out at a concert. He later went on to produce a remake. Isn't the original movie poster great?

3. The Hills Have Eyes

The hills have eyes
Another film written and directed by Craven, The Hills Have Eyes was a monsterous affair of a family trapped in the desert and hunted like animals by misshapen oddities. Do any of them make it out alive? Well, the oddities do, for sure, to go on to The Hills Have Eyes Part 2!

4. Swamp Thing

Swamp thing
This comic adaptation was atrocious, in the cheesiest and best way possible. Slap Adrienne Barbeau into a movie, rip off her shirt and pair her with a fellow adapting to life in a swamp after being changed by a chemical spill and you have success written all over it. What? No? Well, people likely still know of it, so that's success enough.

5. Music of the Heart

Music of the heart
What? A regular drama starring Meryl Streep? Yep. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role and that wasn't the only Oscar nomination for the movie, either. It was also up for Best Song. Did you know Wes Craven directed such a flick? I sure didn't and it puts a whole new spin on his body of work. What a surprising standout.

6. The People Under the Stairs

The people under the stairs
This is another movie that probably only comes up when you're teasing kids. Most of us probably haven't even seen it, but the idea of people under the stairs? Yes, it's frightening and from the mind of Wes Craven. This one has a funny side to it and stars children, so it's something a little different. Check it out!

Blood Moon Review: Werewolf Western Making its Digital/DVD Debut on September 1st

0
0

Here is the official synopsis for Blood Moon:

1887. Colorado. A deserted town lit by the glow of a reddish full moon. A stagecoach full of passengers and an enigmatic gunslinger find themselves prisoners of two outlaws on the run. As the travelers attempt to outwit the outlaws it becomes apparent that a bigger menace lurks outside; a beast that only appears on the night of a blood red moon.

Shaun Dooley as Calhoun in Blood Moon

Blood Moon attempts to take two disparate genres – the Western and the werewolf horror flick – and meld them together, ostensibly with the hope that a new setting for a classic scary story will put a fresh spin on things. Instead, the elements of the two never fully cohere, leaving us with a movie that only does half of each thing it's aiming to do.

To quickly sum up the rather formulaic set-up of the film: two dimwitted bank-robbers/murderers, brothers Jeb and Hank Norton, are pursued by Wade, the local lawman, who is begrudgingly accompanied on his quest by a Native American woman, Black Deer. The Norton brothers manage to overtake and hold hostage a group of strangers who were traveling together by coach, and who are now stuck holed up with the bandits in an abandoned saloon.

The strangers in the coach include newlyweds lawman Jake and his wife Sarah, mysterious gunslinger Calhoun, widowed Mrs. Marie Cooper, and baby-faced English newsman Henry. Tensions rise as the group is circled by a mysterious creature – a Skinwalker, who has transformed into a ravenous wolf-man creature.

Blood Moon is certainly ambitious, and it does have its share of fun moments. The film, by UK-based director Jeremy Wooding, features a largely British cast, and many of them do an admirable job of mimicking the recognizable Old West manner of speaking. Shaun Dooley, as the mysterious gunslinger Calhoun, for one, does a believable job with his accent. Others do a... less believable job, to put it mildly. A few seem to altogether give up on any adherence to the distinctive twang by the movie's final third.

Several of the cast also do a very good job with the rather underdeveloped characters they are assigned. I'm thinking in particular of Dooley, again, as well as Anna Skellern as Mrs. Marie Cooper, the ballsy widowed saloon owner who's quick on her feet and brandishes a very tiny pistol. The sporadic romantic tension between the two, while oddly-timed given the life-or-death goings-on occurring around them for the actual entirety of the film, is definitely a high point for me.

The movie is short; at under 90 minutes, it is understandable that many of the rather large cast do not get a chance at organic character development. Organic plot development, too, is often thrown to the wayside in favor of expository, often wooden dialogue.

Most noticeably, at times the ensemble cast seems just slightly too large – unwieldy, if we're being completely honest. Jeb and Hank, as one conjoined example, are nigh-unbearably stupid. Granted, this provided a few moments of light-hearted amusement (such as Marie giving Hank a hard time about his very prominent spitting habit), but by and large they are too annoying to seem like much of a legitimate threat. Several of the stagecoach folks are dispatched of so quickly that I have to wonder why they were even in the movie and identified by name to begin with.

The entire subplot with Wade (Jake-the-Lawman's equally lawful cousin) and Black Deer (the brash, alcoholic Native American woman accompanying him) seems completely off and out of place within the film. Wade (aside from being Jake's cousin) is irrelevant to the rest of the plot, and the fact that he doesn't interact with any of the rest of the principal cast until the last 15 or so minutes of the film certainly doesn't help integrate the two simultaneously occurring stories.

The Wade and Black Deer asides just seem like wastes of time in an already short film. Black Deer is a caricature of a character and the "twist" involving her is oddly shoehorned into the film, with no larger ramifications or follow-up. It's just a throwaway. Wade's hero moment at the end is completely ridiculous and unbelievable. Also, he is a bit of a moron (offhandedly declaring Calhoun dead when the man was barely even knocked out? What was that?)

As I mentioned before, there were certainly some bright moments within the film. The dialogue and character interplay is at its best when a little silly (on purpose). A few legitimate jump-scares, including the guns-ablaze introduction of the Norton brothers to the stagecoach crew, occur early on in the film.

Once the beast is revealed fully on-screen, however, the whole thing kind of falls apart. The Skinwalker costume is patently awful and since the film is played completely straight, the awkwardly terrible costuming for the creature wrecks any legitimate fear that might have built up in the opening half of the film, when the werewolf lurks but doesn't appear on-screen.

The few decently creepy monster moments all occur when the beast is obscured; it is far more effectively scary when it simply can't be seen. The early-on werewolf POV shot, for instance, is pretty cool – angling the camera so we are seeing "through" the monster's eyes, paired with the low growling sound effect, was an interesting, unique choice.

All in all, the film is largely rote and predictable but worth a one-time watch – just don't go into it expecting legitimate scares or unique plot points.

Blood Moon is out on DVD and all digital platforms on September 1, 2015.

Cate Blanchett Reportedly Set to Star as Lucille Ball in Upcoming Sorkin-penned Biopic

0
0

Acclaimed award-winning Australian actress Cate Blanchett is reportedly set to star in the upcoming Lucille Ball biopic as the red-headed comedienne herself. Biopic-writing veteran Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network, Steve Jobs) is set to pen the screenplay, and Lucille Ball's children Lucy Arnaz Jr. and Desi Arnaz Jr. are reportedly producing the authorized film.

Blanchett (Cinderella, Blue Jasmine) and her team have declined to comment on the reported casting, but the deal is done, according to early Wednesday reports by The Wrap.

Cate Blanchett
Lucille Ball

Having won two Oscars already for her portrayals of Katharine Hepburn in the Scorsese Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator and the down-and-out titular socialite of Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine, Blanchett seems like a perfect choice for this role.

Blanchett's acting prowess is without question, and she has already proven her chops in inhabiting the role of a real-life figure of considerable reknown in her earlier turn as Katharine Hepburn. Hopefully Blanchett's camp confirms this news, because it sounds like a winning combination to me!

Blanchett stars alongside Robert Redford in the upcoming biographical political drama Truth (airing as part of this year's upcoming Toronto International Film Festival line-up). She also stars in the romantic drama Carol opposite Rooney Mara, which made its worldwide debut at Cannes in mid-May and is slated for a November 20th stateside release.

Dean Jones The Love Bug

In addition to his prolific movie career, Jones appeared in five Broadway shows and numerous television productions, including an adaptation of The Love Bug called Herbie, The Love Bug, as well as Beethoven the TV series.

He appeared in 46 movies during his career, including a role in Clear and Present Danger.

Jones was inducted into the Disney Legends Hall of Fame in 1995.

The Lobster Trailer: First Look at Colin Farrell's Latest

0
0

It's no secret I'm a fan of Colin Farrell

His best work is done when he has a chance to be both dramatic and comedic in nature, and perhaps a bit quirky. Doesn't that seem like the essence of The Lobster in the...shell? 

In the near future, according to the rules of the City, all single people must visit the Hotel where they must find a mate within 45 days or else become an animal. Literally. They're then sent off into the woods to live out there days, although by the trailer, it appears it doesn't always work out that way.

Apparently, Farrell's character will escape his fate into the Woods and fall in love with a Loner. 

There is no US release date that I can find, but it's hitting theaters in Europe mid October. You lucky bastards!
