Movies We Love: Josie and the Pussycats

17 June 2009 3:20 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) Conform! Free thinking is overrated! Orange is the new pink! Synopsis A uniquely rebellious girl group is taken from obscurity to superstardom in a decades-old plot to brainwash the youth of America through pop music. Josie (Rachel Leigh Cook) is turned into a star, Val (Rosario Dawson) deals with being outside the spotlight and Melody (Tara Reid) is a total moron. Will they satirically be able to save the country from conformity? Why I Love It When I was watching this the other night, I kept talking about how awesome it was, so Neil challenged me to write about it for this column. And I admit, dear readers, that I was afraid to. Why? Because it's not a very universally well-liked movie. So I've changed the normal "we" headers to "I" headers to make it clear that I don't speak for Fsr as a whole. But those who don't like this movie are

[DVD Review] Bob Funk

15 June 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | From JustPressPlay.net | See recent JustPressPlay news

The clue is in the title. His name is Bob (Michael Leydon Campbell) and he’s in a bit of a funk. Bob’s a drunken, misanthropic mattress salesman with appalling people skills, an infinitely more buttoned down older brother Ron (Eddie Jemison), and a mother (Grace Zabriskie) who’s also his boss and fast running out of patience. Cue Rachel Leigh Cook’s klutzy cupcake Ms. Thorne, who Bob instantly warms to in his own sweaty way and who must now supervise his latest period of job probation. It’s a workplace comedy with all the elements present and correct for a riotous giggle fest with just one teeny tiny - hardly worth mentioning really - little flaw. It’s apocalyptically unfunny.

Now that hit television shows like The Office have dragged the comedy of embarrassment out of the cult corner in which it languished, we’re seeing something

When the next big thing isn't

15 June 2009 1:56 PM, PDT | From Hitfix.com | See recent Hitfix news

Hollywood is littered with the false promises of future stars that never where. From mistaken Oscar winners (Mira Sorvino), to leading men who aren't meant to break out (Chris Evans) to teen stars that couldn't find work as adults (Rachel Leigh Cook), the next big thing usually isn't. Here's a look at some of the wannabes who should have become household names over the past decade or so, but didn't. Agree? Disagree? Share your thoughts below.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete (Blu Ray) - Review

6 June 2009 11:18 AM, PDT | From Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news

The Movie:

Now is a good time to own a blu ray player Final Fantasy fans.

In 2001, Squaresoft made their first foray into the motion picture industry with Final Fantasy: The Spirits With. With their gorgeous cinematics within the games they made, surely a film made by them would be a phenomenal piece of work? Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Though Spirits Within had some dazzling CGI, its plot and script left a lot to be desired, and ultimately becoming a box office disaster for the company. Though it has its share of fans (like yours truly), even they agreed that Square could have done something a little bit more true to the game universe (or universes) that they created. Cut to 2005, Squaresoft, now Square Enix, announces a new Final Fantasy movie, this time, a direct sequel to their most beloved game of the series, Final Fantasy VII. Fans were ecstatic,

Lauren, Jon, and Fergie Get Hot in Hollywood

23 April 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

It was a star-studded red carpet at Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party in La last night. Lauren Conrad is a staple at the yearly bash and looked angelic in white after spicing it up in yellow to give out spoilers at PaleyFest. Her ex Doug Reinhardt was there, attached at the hip with Paris Hilton as usual, though we'd rather gaze at Jon Hamm with Jennifer Westfeldt by his side. Even Kara DioGuardi stopped by after American Idol's double elimination night. Never ones to miss an event, Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian, back from their bikini trip to Mexico, made it out for the festivities as the gorgeous crowd partied the night away.

Writer Tapped For Lost Boys 3!

19 March 2009 4:12 PM, PDT | From iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news

Bloody-Disgusting reports that veteran TV writer Evan Charnov (who most recently penned & produced Fearless, a TV movie with Rachel Leigh Cook & Ian Somerhalder) has been tapped to write the screenplay for Lost Boys 3. After all, Lost Boys: The Tribe (aka Lost Boys 2) did decent business on DVD for Warner Premiere (despite what you may have thought of the movie). B-d also says that Corey Feldman is co-producing and that his character Edgar Frog will be the focus of the second sequel. Don't expect Corey Haim to come back, but Moviehole adds that you'll most likely see Jamison Newlander returning as Alan Frog. (Hope he's not a vampire like in the unused alternate ending for Tribe). More when we hear it!

Lost Boys 3 on the Rise at Warner Premiere

18 March 2009 | From shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news

Inevitable? You betcha. After the success of Lost Boys: The Tribe , Warner Premiere is moving forward on a Lost Boys 3 (which will probably also drop the "number" and gain a subtitle instead). It's been rumored for a few months now, but talent is starting to come together. On one end, Moviehole is reporting Jamison Newlander (relegated to the deleted scenes of The Tribe 's DVD) and Corey Feldman are returning. Meanwhile, Bloody-Disgusting says writer Evan Charnov has been attached to pen the third installment. Charnov's only credit is the 2004 Rachael Leigh Cook television thriller Fearless . If a writer is just now coming aboard, shooting may begin this fall for a 2010 DVD release. No word yet on a director.

Corey Feldman Returns For Lost Boys 3 -- I think I smell another season of The Two Coreys!

17 March 2009 | From Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news

After the thrilling climax of “Lost Boys 2: The Tribe” I was left with just one thought: “Oh man, when are they gonna hurry up and make another one of these bad boys?” Seems I have my answer as BloodyDisgusting is reporting that Warners has attached a writer for “Lost Boys 3”. Evan Charnov, writer and producer on the Rachel Leigh Cook series “Fearless”, will script the direct-to-dvd sequel. And you thought these movies just wrote themselves… or maybe that was just me. In other “Lost Boys 3” news, Corey Feldman will once again return as everyone’s favorite Frog brother Edgar. Apparently this time around the plot will actually focus on Feldman instead of on a bunch of unknown blood-suckers. So there’s that to look forward to I guess. Moviehole is also reporting that the other Frog brother, Jamison Newlander, has agreed to come back ...

Spring Preview: A Guide to the Season in Indie Film

18 February 2009 2:25 PM, PST | From ifc.com | See recent IFC news

Spring is a season of renewal, particularly in the movie business, where the completion of the awards derby allows Amy Adams to segue from playing a solemn nun in "Doubt" to a klutzy crime scene cleaner in "Sunshine Cleaning." Along with "Sunshine," there are plenty of festival favorites about to get their day in the sun, whether that's in theaters, on DVD or on demand online or on TV. This preview recognizes the many ways to get your indie film fix, as well as the special events you might want to head out to if you live in New York or Los Angeles, including "The Brothers Bloom" director Rian Johnson's week-long con man movie "Festival of Fakery" at L.A.'s famed New Beverly Cinema, about which we recently spoke to the director. But regardless of whether we're watching films from the past or present, we're looking forward to the next couple months.

Scenes We Love: The House of Yes

11 February 2009 4:40 PM, PST | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news

If news broke today that Tori Spelling, Freddie Prinze Jr., Rachael Leigh Cook, Genevieve Bujold, Josh Hamilton, and Parker Posey were going to star in a movie together, it probably wouldn't be something anyone would get excited about, or yearn to see. It also wouldn't seem believable that they would come together for a darkly comedic story rife with word play ... if it didn't already happen in 1997.

A strange anomaly in the cinematic world, The House of Yes was the film that made the best of everyone -- the rare example that some chastised stars could offer more than the usual easily forgotten fare. Spelling shrugged off her Donna Martin image to play the girl who grew up on pancakes, and Prinze Jr. even managed a difficult balance of innocent newbie and nuanced man with a plan.

While I fell in love with the film from moment one, it was

Meyers: 'I'm Not A Player'

2 February 2009 11:05 AM, PST | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news

Irish actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers is a dud when it comes to love - insisting he doesn't believe in romance. The hunky star, who portrays Henry VIII in romp-filled TV hit The Tudors, is adored by legions of female fans across the world and has been romantically linked to a string of beauties including Toni Collette, Rachael Leigh Cook and Estella Warren.

But the 31-year-old admits he struggles to woo potential lovers with traditional romantic tactics.

He tells People.com, "I'm not a romantic guy at all.

"It's not that I don't believe in romance. It's that I don't believe in dinner for two by the ocean, walking down the beach holding hands - that version of romance.

"I think I'm probably romantic, but I'm not outwardly romantic. I'm not a player."

Pres. Barack and Michelle Obama Are Stars of All the Balls

21 January 2009 6:00 AM, PST | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama went from one ball to the next last night stopping by ten events over the course of their evening. The first stop was at the first ever Neighborhood Ball where there were star-studded performances from Jay-z to Alicia Keys to Stevie Wonder, but Beyonce belting out "At Last" for the Obama's first dance was particularly touching - you seem to agree. Michelle looked stunning in her Jason Wu gown and the couple couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces all night long. Check out Citizen for all the inauguration coverage. Kanye performed at MTV's "Be the Change" Ball where Demi and Ashton partied while waiting for an appearance from the first couple themselves. Anne Hathaway dazzled in red at the Creative Coalition Ball, so it seems her babysitting skills weren't needed for the night. From start to finish it was a pretty

In case you missed it in the news: Barack Obama was sworn in today as 44th President of the United States (hold for applause), putting an end, in the minds of many, to eight years of failed policies imposed by the Bush administration.

Jay-z was up late last night to perform at his concert in Washington, DC, but he was out bright and early this morning with his furry cap on to watch President Obama being sworn in. He was joined by Beyonce, her sister Solange, and Diddy for the inauguration ceremony, all looking happy to experience each special part of the day for themselves. Also on hand to witness the event were Leo and Bar, fresh from their trip to the UK, as well as Oprah, Anne Hathaway, Adrian Grenier, and many other famous faces that were mixed into the crowd.
