Love N’ Dancing

17 June 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | From Pastemagazine.com | See recent PasteMagazine news

Release Date: May 8 (limited)

Director: Robert Iscove

Writer: Tom Malloy

Cinematographer: Frank Byers

Starring: Amy Smart, Tom Malloy, Billy Zane, Rachel Dratch, Caroline Rhea

Studio/Run Time: Screen Media Films, 90 mins.

Great choreography can’t sustain clumsy swing-dancing film

It’s sad that the one way Love N’ Dancing is a unique movie doesn’t even come from its dancing, but rather from how little it seems like its writer, director, actors, or pretty much anyone else involved with the picture were trying. For starters, its story is almost impossibly lazy and clichéd. Jessica (Amy Smart) wants to take her fiancé (Billy Zane) to dance lessons, but when he’s too busy with work to learn she ends up falling in love with her dance instructor (Tom Malloy) instead. Unfortunately, that’s all there is to the plot, and with not a twist in site the story really can be

See Billy Zane's Aswang in New Surviving Evil Trailer

15 June 2009 12:24 AM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news

If you saw The Phantom, then you've seen Billy Zane slam evil. But can he survive it? Surviving Evil casts Zane as a TV survival host whose show taping on a remote Philippine island becomes that much more dangerous when they disturb the domain of an Aswang, a hideous ghoul of Filipino lore.

Surviving Evil also stars Natalie Jackson Mendoza ("Juno" of The Descent and its sequel), as well as Christina Cole (The Deaths of Ian Stone).

The UK/South African co-production is slated to premiere next month in Africa. No announcement yet as to when the rest of us can expect to see it. In the meantime you can find out more via the film's Facebook page and check out the first trailer below.

Surviving Evil Trailer

14 June 2009 10:18 AM, PDT | From HorrorYearbook | See recent HorrorYearbook news

Here is another trailer I tripped over at TrailerAddict.com, Surviving Evil, starring Billy Zane. Ta has the release date listed as October 10, 2009, which really doesn't makes sense since it does not fall on a Tuesday, typically the day DVDs are released. I contactacted Fries Films to see if they could give us an exact U.S. release date, since I can't seem to find one listed anywhere else. I'll update this page once they let me know. Official Synopsis: Can the survival skills expert "Seb" protect his crew from the Aswang - horrifying, mythical creatures from Philippine folklore that live in the trees, that can change their shape, hunt for human flesh and crave the blood of pregnant women? When Phoebe discovers she is carrying a child the group find themselves frighting for their lives in a jungle filled with terror.

Rihanna Parties With the Peas and Gets Subpoenaed

11 June 2009 9:00 AM, PDT | From Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news

Fergie and the Black Eyed Peas hosted an album-release party last night in NYC. Rihanna apparently looked cozy at the soiree with rumored new flame Aubrey "Drake" Graham after he recently denied any romance. She happily mingled with the band, amid news she has officially been subpoenaed to testify at Chris Brown's June 22 hearing. Kanye West is rolling solo after his break up with Amber Rose, but the two apparently still see each other quite a bit. Regardless of all the drama going on in these singers' lives, there's nothing like celebratory party with friends to help everyone unwind and have fun.

‘The Phantom Legacy’ Screenwriter Dismisses Rumors Of Sam Worthington Casting

9 June 2009 6:46 AM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

It’s hard to believe that there are not one, but two different live-action “Phantom” projects currently in the works. The Sci-Fi Network’s adaptation of “The Phantom” is chugging along quite well with publicized casting announcements and concept illustrations — but what of “The Phantom Legacy,” the film version produced by Sherlock Symington Productions?

“‘The Phantom’ is still at scripting stage,” screenwriter Tim Boyle told Moviehole. “Although the comic studio and executive producers have given it two thumbs up, we’re constantly pushing the screenplay forward. I believe the film will go into pre-production by the end of the year.”

Boyle also went on to address a report that Sam Worthington would portray the purple-clad hero, just one of the many superhero rumors the “Terminator Salvation” star has been linked to. While Worthington is a friend, Boyle said that the actor’s involvement is purely speculative at this point.

“Sam is a friend of mine,

Hangover Movies For Those Rough Mornings After

5 June 2009 11:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news

Nobody likes to start their day with a hangover. It hurts, for starters. There’s also a good chance that if you consumed enough alcohol to have a hangover, you probably lost a chunk or two of the previous night in the process.

That is certainly the case in this week’s aptly named summer comedy, “The Hangover,” in which three pals take their soon-to-be-married friend out to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. They wake up the morning after with the groom missing and no recollection of what happened. Cue the shenanigans. In honor of Todd Phillips’ latest release, I’ve assembled this brief list of hangover movies to dull the pain of your misspent evenings.

“Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas” (1998)

In the world of literary adaptations on film, Terry Gilliam’s “Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas” ranks among the best of them. The late journalist/author Hunter S. Thompson

Bald Billy Zane Battles Greek Zombies In Evil In The Time Of Heroes (To Kako II)

2 June 2009 12:15 PM, PDT | From TwitchFilm.net | See recent Twitch news

[Updated with English subtitled version of the trailer.]

If you cast your minds back a couple years you may recall a little, ultra-splattery Greek zombie film - the first ever zombie film from that nation - titled simply Evil or To Kako.  The budget limits were obvious but Evil was shot with such a sense of fun and energy that it proved to be one of those little films that could and it ended up travelling the international festival circuit, got a DVD release here courtesy of Tla and was enough of a hit at home that the original creative team is now deep into production on a sequel.

More ambitious?  You bet.  Not only are they now working with better equipment - the film was shot on the Red camera - but they’ve added Billy Zane in a key support role and have introduced a time hopping element to the picture, making Evil II quite possibly

To Kako aka Evil In The Time Of Heroes Trailer

31 May 2009 11:55 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

I can't say I'm familiar with the world of Greek Zombie Cinema, but a 2006 film entitled To Kako (retitled Evil for a Us DVD release) is getting a sequel that looks like a hell of a lot of fun. Evil In The Time Of Heroes (translated from To kako - Stin epohi ton iroon) is the second film in the series, featuring Billy Zane (Demon Knight) as "Prophitis" alongside an otherwise all-Greek cast.

The trailer popped up over the weekend over at Movies for the Masses, and we've got it for you below the jump!

"Three days ago everything changed. An ancient force transformed people into blood-thirsty zombies. That wasn't the first time. 2800 years ago, the situation was the same. Evil was defeated. Will they do the same today? Will they revive the Time Of Heroes?"

Here's what Amazon has to say about the original Evil:

Trailer for Greek zombie sequel To Kako II (Evil In The Time Of Heroes) finally arrives!

29 May 2009 3:04 PM, PDT | From QuietEarth.us | See recent QuietEarth news

Wow, we wrote about this way back in September and even though I found the original film pretty weak, this one might just be better by the looks of the teaser and the fact that Billy Zane is in it.

Three days ago everything changed. An ancient force transofmred people to blood-thirsty zombies. That wasn't the first time. 2800 years ago the situation was the same. Evil was defeated. Will they do the same today? Will they revive the Time of Heroes?

ABC is hitting us with a bunch of new shows for their upcoming 2009-10 season.

The new shows include Cougar Town, The Deep End, Eastwick, Flash Forward, The Forgotten, Hank, Happy Town, The Middle, Modern Family, Shark Tank and V.

While shows like Better Off Ted, Castle, Scrubs and True Beauty will be falling in line with other mainstays of the network like The Bachelor, Brothers & Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Lost, Ugly Betty and others.

 

I know that most of the shows mentioned are not of primary interest to the majority of Screen Rant readers, but we’re tossing them out there for everyone.

ABC of course stuck with their best rated scripted dramas of Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy.

If a show is shown as having been picked up, but does not show in the below list, that means it is debuting later on in the 2009-10 season.

Movie Review - 'Love N' Dancing'

8 May 2009 12:27 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news

Love N' Dancing

Starring Amy Smart, Tom Malloy, and Billy Zane

Directed by Robert Iscove

Rated PG-13

Movies like Love N' Dancing are a dime a dozen. Regardless of the highlights, and there are a couple, you've seen so many movies aiming for the exact same target that it's hard for this one to stand out. Worse, the film feels like it's Ok with its mediocrity. The acting's derivative without being distracting, the story's only so-so, and the depths are pretty shallow.

Low budget films face some huge hurdles, no doubt about it, but it would be easier to form a connection with a movie made outside the system if it didn't resemble a movie made within the system several times a year.

Jake (writer Tom Malloy) is a world-class ballroom dancer. He's won some team dancing awards. But because of a broken romantic relationship with his dance partner, Jake
