Along with the trailer we've featured a select few stills from the well praised debut including one that some online prudes may consider Nsfw.

In Theaters: 'The Dictator' Overruns The 'Polisse,' So That 'Battleship' And 'What To Expect' May Cause Angry 'Hysteria' Among 'The Samaritan's
18 May 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Dictators, hitmen, and navy officers – oh my! It’s a big weekend for the dudes, the professional advantages mentioned above notwithstanding, and we can expect screens clogged with manly men doing male things. Even the invention of a sex toy (by a man, duh) and male grooming get sweet turns in the theaters. If only the powerful sight of pregnant women was enough to combat the male-dominated market. Ah well, perhaps another weekend. Let’s jump into the testosterone-fueled fray, shall we?
Political satire, social comedy, and gross-out humor each take their turn in the Larry Charles-directed “The Dictator,” which opened Wednesday. Sacha Baron Cohen is Admiral General Aladeen, the universal and undisputed leader of the fictional North African nation of Wadiya. Running (or perhaps “scaring” is a better word choice here) a nation with a sexist, racist, iron fist, threatening nuclear warfare while hoarding oil reserves, Aladeen is »

Review: Mansome
18 May 2012 7:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Director Morgan Spurlock has a talent for making insightful, engaging, and informative documentaries. Unfortunately, that talent is not in view for his latest film, Mansome. This movie is supposed to "explore the question: In the age of manscaping, metrosexuals, and grooming products galore -- what does it mean to be a man?" The answer, it would seem, is to be a vain, pompous, insecure stereotype.
The names Spurlock interviews for Mansome include Judd Apatow, Adam Carolla, Zach Galifianakis, Isaiah Mustafa, Paul Rudd, John Waters ... and as he likes to do, Spurlock himself gets in front of the camera briefly, to shave his mustache. The most interesting subjects are executive producers Will Arnett and Jason Bateman, who almost appear to be channeling their Arrested Development characters as they spend a day at a spa getting massages, facials and taking baths together.
The documentary starts with examining facial hair -- and seems »

As more and more celebrities and politicians comment on President Obama's support for marriage equality, it just becomes a blur. But on The Graham Norton Show, Chris Rock really stood out talking about the noise itself. "It just shows you how screwed up the world is though, that a man just goes "Hey, I think gay people should be treated like everyone else." Controversy! What kind of world is this, it's so horrible."
Why is it so hard to come up with an HIV vaccine? This is a tough, adaptive little bug we're dealing with.
The group Here We Go Magic were driving between gigs and saw a hitchhiker on the side of the road, and realized that it was John Waters. So they looped back and picked him up, finding that he's on his way across country. They're dropping him in Indianapolis if anybody wants the next leg. »

A feast for the senses
16 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | eyeforfilm.co.uk | See recent eyeforfilm.co.uk news »
It premiered at the Electric Cinema in London last weekend, with a special screening of Pan's Labyrinth. The audience loved it. Now edible cinema looks set to be the next big thing, bringing a new dimension to the filmgoing experience.
Many of you will already have experimented with scratch n'sniff cinema, if not with the Odorama that John Waters debuted with Polyester. If edicble cinema becomes a hit you may never want to see a John Waters movie again. But just what is this new phenomenon, and how does it work?
The Electric Cinema's approach was aimed squarely at the gourmet crowd. It involved a series of numbered packages which viewers were instructed to eat when an usherette held up a sign. One of these contained a gin cocktail, another a specially prepared red grape. All the foods used were designed - by specialist chef Andrew Stellitano - to create flavours that. »

Dialogue: Morgan Spurlock, on the World of Manscaping, His Filmmaking Process and Transitioning from Docs to Narrative
16 May 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
Director Morgan Spurlock has set his sights on McDonalds, Osama Bin Laden, the advertising world and Comic-Con, to name just a few subjects of his popular documentaries. His latest, Mansome, targets modern masculinity, and the myriad ripple effects created for men by a newfound obsession with grooming and appearance in our society. Spurlock’s movie – executive produced by Will Arnett and Jason Bateman (who are interspersed throughout the film in hilarious comedic interludes) – explores facial hair, products geared toward male customers and body issues, and includes interviews with ordinary people, sociologists and celebrities (Zach Galifianakas, Judd Apatow, John Waters and Paul Rudd make particularly memorable appearances). As with any Spurlock production...

Must See – Nsfw Excision Trailer/Poster Loves The Red Stuff!
11 May 2012 10:40 AM, PDT | iconsoffright.com | See recent Icons of Fright news »
I’m not quite sure what to make of Excision, but judging from the Red Band trailer below it’ll be quite explicit. Newcomer Richard Bates Jr has a dual role as Director & Writer and looks to have injected quite a bit of angst and dream like imagery into this. If anything it boasts an interestingly diverse cast – including AnnaLynne McCord (looking intensely grimy), Traci Lords, Malcolm McDowell, Ray Wise and even John Waters! No release date has been set but Anchor Bay has really been on the ball lately with acquiring indie horrors and promptly releasing them, safe to say this will be out later this year. Excision is definitely on our radar, what say you readers?

Trailer For Excision Online
10 May 2012 5:01 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »
Here's some bloody, sleazy goodness to see you through the weekend. High school horror humour hybrid Excision played at Sundance earlier in the year, and now there's a trailer online for the rest of us. It showcases, shall we say, an "emotional journey" for Nip/Tuck and 90210 starlet AnnaLynne McCord.Cut to Nine Inch Nails' Closer, this trailer provides a nice transition from wholesome-seeming teen drama to crazed sex and violence. McCord plays Pauline, alienated from her small-town suburban surroundings, battling her controlling mother, obsessed with flesh and desperate to lose her virginity. She also has a leaning towards being a surgeon. That can't end well.The real news here is the cast though, a culty dream that sees McCord supported by Malcolm McDowell, Traci Lords, John Waters (as a priest!) and Ray Wise.Excision is the feature debut of writer-director Richard Bates Jr, and is an expansion of one of his short films. »
Watch: Trailer for Sundance Shocker 'Excision' Is Nsfw And Then Some
10 May 2012 10:24 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
Ah, coming of age movies. The hormones, the acne, the sexual awakening, and... the necrophilia? That's what's going on for AnnaLynne McCord in "Excision," which got a seriously polarized reception at Sundance earlier this year. In "Excision," which also features cult deities John Waters and Traci Lords, the alienated teen Pauline (McCord) approaches adulthood and discovers a lusty taste for flesh. And now a trailer drops just in time for Mother's Day! It should come as no surprise that the trailer (which looks kind of awesome) is way, way past Nsfw. The film, which has no official release date, will be distributed by Anchor Bay Entertainment. Update: The sales company Archstone asked that it be removed as it wasn't a cleared trailer. The official one should be ready in 2-3 weeks, and Indiewire will bring you as soon as it's available. »

The New ‘Excision’ Trailer is a Cut Above The Rest
10 May 2012 9:22 AM, PDT | Destroy the Brain | See recent Destroy the Brain news »
I’m not going to say a whole lot about this trailer other than warn you that it is very Nsfw and it’s bloody fantastic. Excision is a coming of age story of a social outcast played by AnnaLynne McCord. The trailer is darkly funny and extremely over the top. Imagine the film May “cranked up to 11.” I absolutely love the look of this film and the colorful cast along with it. Traci Lords, John Waters, Malcolm McDowell, and Roger Bart co-star in the film that will be released by Anchor Bay later this year. It might be a little early to say that this is one of my favorite trailers of the year. Regardless of how the film turns out, this trailer rocks. Literally, it rocks due to Nine Inch Nails playing in the background as well. Also, the poster for the film can be found below which »

Tribeca Review: Morgan Spurlock's Crowd-Pleasing 'Mansome' Is Cute, But Unilluminating
30 April 2012 3:41 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
What makes a man shave his chest? Sport a hirsute, ridiculously long and absurd-looking beard? Bleach his anus, thread his eyebrows or play around with his facial hair in any number of manscaping ways? These are some of the questions posed in Morgan Spurlock's latest cheery and congenial documentary, "Mansome."
And the music in Spurlock's documentaries of late are always a dead give-away of what's in store tone-wise (in case it’s not obvious): generally a jovial, breezy and blithe ol' time for what's usually an 80-minute trifle. And "Mansome," the documentarian’s latest, is an amiable look at male grooming, and therefore as a byproduct, masculinity too (though it's not a focus), and it falls safely and neatly into a pleasant tone.
Executive-produced by "Arrested Development" buddies Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, the doc frames itself around these two friends going to a spa and comically discussing »

Kathleen Turner Conversation in Toronto

Kathleen Turner Kathleen Turner, perhaps best remembered for seducing William Hurt in Lawrence Kasdan’s Body Heat and for romping about with Michael Douglas in Robert Zemeckis‘ Romancing the Stone, will be present on May 7 at the Toronto International Film Festival’s Bell Lightbox to discuss her career in films and on stage. Turner will be making her Toronto stage debut in Matthew Lombardo’s High at the Royal Alexandra Theatre from May 8–13. Turner, 58 next June, has appeared in nearly 30 features. In addition to the aforementioned two titles, her credits include Ken Russell’s Crimes of Passion, as a Belle de Jour-like sex worker; John Huston’s Oscar-nominated Prizzi’s Honor, as Jack Nicholson’s partner in crime; the Lewis Teague-directed Romancing the Stone sequel The Jewel of the Nile; Francis Ford Coppola’s Peggy Sue Got Married, which earned her a Best Actress Oscar nomination; and Danny DeVito »

[Tribeca Review] Mansome
25 April 2012 1:00 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Men in the 21st century find themselves at an interesting crossroads. There is a burgeoning awareness of men and the importance of their looks, a burden that was almost exclusively laid at the feet of the fairer sex (at least in modernity, and when talking in broad generalizations). Taking on these traditionally female-branded concerns means that the identity of man is shifting. This question, one that affects men across our great nation, deserves an educational and thorough documentary to explore why this movement is happening, what its possible consequences are, and reasoning out whether this is for good, for ill, or not worth our time.
Mansome the new documentary from Morgan Spurlock, is not that movie. Nor does it try to be. It’s a lighthearted take at these large, sex-defining questions that fits perfectly in the director’s oeuvre. Spurlock whose big break, the 2004 documentary Super Size Me, took the question “is McDonalds healthy? »

Trailer for Mustachioed Spurlock’s Mansome
23 April 2012 11:02 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Why not feast your peepers on the trailer for Morgan Spurlock’s (Super Size Me) new documentary, Mansome? The film analyses the identity of men in modern times, and touches on an array of subjects; from the modern male’s humorous obsession with manscaping and grooming products, to the more serious mental condition of body dysmorphic disorder.
It features interviews with Will Arnett (Blades Of Glory) and Jason Bateman (Arrested Development) – who also co-executively produced the film – as well as Judd Apatow (Funny People), Paul Rudd (Anchorman), Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover), and John Waters (Serial Mom).
Mansome also seeks out the opinions of the general public in a bid to determine what being a man means, during a time where the definition of masculinity is more uncertain than ever.
Mansome is due for release in the Us on 18th May. There is no date set for a UK release as yet, »
