‘Captain Phillips’ Trailer Drops Tom Hanks Right In the Middle Of a Hijacking
8 May 2013 1:05 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »
Pirates have made a big comeback in recent years thanks to the lawless activities happening off the coast of Somalia, but while we hear of multiple hijackings and kidnappings from the region they rarely involve American citizens. One of the exceptions though occurred in 2009 when the American cargo ship Mv Maersk Alabama was attacked and boarded by pirates. Paul Greengrass is bringing the story to the big screen as his first film since 2010′s Green Zone, and the first trailer promises a thrilling real-life drama happily free of politics. Having Tom Hanks in your title role never hurts either. Check out the first trailer for Captain Phillips below. Greengrass knows action and suspense as evidenced by his two Bourne films, but he’s also shown the ability to mix the thrills with sensitive real life events (United 93). The film is based on Captain Richard Phillips’ account of the hijacking, “A »

Tom Hanks is a Real Hero in 'Captain Phillips' Trailer
8 May 2013 12:16 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Heads up, Academy voters. Hollywood's very favorite good guy is bringing it again.
This time, Tom Hanks stars as a real American hero in Paul Greengrass' "Captain Phillips," the gut-wrenching trailer for which is now in.
The film depicts the true story of Captain Richard Phillips, who was taken hostage by Somalian pirates in 2009 after they boarded and seized the U.S.-flagged and unarmed cargo ship Maersk Alabama. He'd surrendered himself to the vicious group in order to protect the nineteen crew members on board who were then able to hide from the ship's attackers. After a dramatic five day stand-off between the Somali pirates and the U.S. Navy, Seal Team snipers executed three of the captors and returned the captain to his family, safe and sound.
Put simply, this is one heck of a nationalistic story — 'Merica ya'll! — and Hanks certainly had his work cut out »

Winona Ryder Is Nerdier Than You Think
30 April 2013 5:19 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
There was definitely some nervous apprehension on my part before meeting Winona Ryder -- which, having done this sort of thing hundreds of times before, doesn't happen often. This most likely stems from my preexisting notion that she's shy or reserved -- or, at the very least, media shy and reserved in front of the press. Soon after meeting the petite actor -- who still doesn't look all that different from the person who danced to Harry Belafonte's "Jump in the Line" at the end of "Beetlejuice" -- I discovered something that would have put my nervous mind at ease: Winona Ryder is, well ... a bit of a nerd.
Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration, but she is a fan of the original "Star Trek" television series and used to have a life-size poster of Ellen Ripley on her wall.

Oblivion (2013)
24 April 2013 8:59 AM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »
Directed by: Joseph Kosinski
Written by: Joseph Kosinski, William Monahan, Karl Gajdusek, Michael Arndt
Featuring: Tom Cruise, Morgan Freeman, Olga Kurylenko, Andrea Riseborough, Melissa Leo
Containing manic energy is a skill. Suppressing it is hazardous. When Tom Cruise was bouncing off walls and generally making himself into a punch line cliché, you could still sense the charisma that made him a star. In Joseph Kosinski's sci-fi epic Oblivion, Cruise smirks and struts his way through a post-apocalyptic earth like he's on downers and barely registers a heartbeat.
After Earth was ravaged by Scavengers (or Scavs) by destroying our moon, the human race fled to space station called the Tet and started a colony on Titan. Now it's 2077 and the only humans left on Earth are Jack Harper (Tom Cruise), a tech support to huge machines siphoning our water to bring to Titan, and Victoria (Andrea Riseborough), a communications officer who keeps things running, »

‘Oblivion’ Reviews: Does Tom Cruise Have A Hit?
20 April 2013 11:41 AM, PDT | HollywoodLife | See recent HollywoodLife news »
Tom Cruise is back as an epic action hero for the sci-fi thriller ‘Oblivion,’ which opened in theaters on April 19. But did Tomcat hit the mark with his new flick? Read below to see the reviews!
Tom Cruise’s latest action movie, the sci-fi-flavored Oblivion — out on April 19 — follows Tom through a futuristic, post-apocalyptic Earth. Drama ensues when his character, who has been assigned to extract Earth’s last resources, is forced to question the nature of his own mission. Oblivion promises to take viewers to another world, full of intrigue and action. But did it actually hit the mark? Some reviewers think Tom’s newest movie is a total flop, while others have called it an “adventure to remember” (but mostly, the reviews are not good). You’ll just have to read the reviews and decide for yourself!

What the Apocalypse Looks Like: 1927-2013
16 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Apocalyptic and dystopian stories have always intrigued us. If societal structure was to break down, the void left behind would expose the basest of human impulses. And over the last century, movies have taken a sick sort of pleasure in showing us what the worst case scenario might look like, with ominous features of the future mirroring the most pressing concerns of the present.
Seeing as how Tom Cruise's new film "Oblivion" is opening in the not-too-distant-future (April 19), we're taking a look back at pessimistic looks forward.
1. 'Metropolis' (1927)
This groundbreaking German sci-fi flick from the silent era explores the division between upper and lower classes while, out in the real world, socialism was quaking the geopolitical landscape .
