Summit Entertainment has debuted the trailer to the family comedy Furry Vengeance [FURYV] at Apple, which looks like a live-action remake of DreamWorks Animation's Over the Hedge. Although the animals don't talk (no CG budget?), they still exhibit anthropomorphic behaviors. Poor Brendan Fraser [BFRAS], I mean he must really need the money to accept a role where he is humiliated by forest critters.
If the idea of a 12 year old girl who maims, kills and curses like a sailor, then this R-rated Kick-Ass [KCKAS] trailer is not for you. For the rest of us, Chloe Moretz [CMORE] as Hit-Girl does kick-Ass.
I understand why Sony would keep the title for brand recognition, but calling this remake The Karate Kid [KFKID] instead of The Kung Fu Kid is an insult to the Chinese, not to mention the classic 1984 original. Karate is a Japanese martial art that is as different from the Chinese marital art Kung Fu as Judo is different from Taekwondo. Anyhow, Jaden Smith [JSMIT] stars as the American fish out of water in China, while Jackie Chan [JCHAN] takes over the Mr. Miyagi-like role. ...
E! has debuted the trailer for the action comedy Knight and Day [KNDAY], one of many playing in front of Avatar. Tom Cruise [TCRUI] reunites with Vanilla Sky co-star Cameron Diaz [CDIAZ] as a couple thrown together on a plane and are now on the run for unspecified reasons. The success of action comedy often rides on the chemistry between the two leads. Cruise and Diaz sparkle on screen together in a fair impersonation of Mr. & Mrs. Smith, unlike say Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston...
After starring with dogs in Marley & Me and scoring a big hit, Owen Wilson [OWILS] decides to play one hi,self and voice Marmaduke [MARMA]. 20th Century Fox will release the film June 5th, 2010.
Despite a severe snow storm that shut down theaters on the Eastern Seaboard, Avatar [AVATR] grossed an estimated $73.0 million at the weekend box office. James Cameron [JCAME] directed the sci-fi adventure that utilized the latest in 3D and performance-capture technology. 3D screens accounted for 71% of the ticket sales. With stellar reviews and word of mouth, Avatar should exhibit long legs at the box office.
Last weekend's top film, The Princess and the Frog [FROGP] declined 50% to...
It's romantic comedy trailer day! New Line has unveiled another trailer for Valentine's Day [VSDAY], now with Taylor Lautner [TLAUT] and Taylor Swift. Is it suppose to make us normal folks feel better if beautiful people like Jessica Biel [JBIEL] and Jessica Garner [JEGAR] can't find dates?
Almost two years after having twins with her husband Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez [JLOPE] returns to the big screen with the pregnancy comedy The Back-Up Plan [PLANB]. Lopez plays a woman who decides to have a baby on her own, only to meet Mr. Right, played by Alex O' Loughlin [AOLOU], after she had already been artificially insemination. Can their budding romance survive her ever-growing predicament? Is this a Hollywood romantic comedy? Gee, I wonder who turns to be the sperm donor. ...
Sony has released the first trailer for the action adventure / romantic comedy The Bounty Hunter [BOUNT]. The mix of genres probably sounded like a great idea on paper, but the resulting mash-up is just a scatterbrain hodegepodge on the screen. Although it's labelled "From the director of Hitch", The Bounty Hunter feels more like Andrew Tennant's last film Fool's Gold, another action adventure / romantic comedy about a bickering couple on the trail of something or another. I expected...
Twelve years after directing his last feature film Titanic, the self-proclaimed ‘King of the World’ James Cameron [JCAME] is back to reclaim his throne with the sci-fi adventure Avatar [AVATR]. Using state-of-the-art 3D and performance capture technology, Cameron has created a world that seamlessly merged live-action with CG animation. Although the trailers were initially met with skepticism, the finished film has garnered overwhelming positive, glowing reviews. The film that set out to...
