What To Expect When You’re Expecting Review
26 May 2012 12:00 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Rating: 2.5 out of 5 stars
It might be a sign that the creative well has truly run dry now that Hollywood has begun adapting self-help books into feature films. Following the likes of He’s Just Not That Into You and the recent Us release Think Like A Man, we have What to Expect When You’re Expecting, adapted from Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel’s tome about the travails of pregnancy. Though it is consistently, enthusiastically performed by its sizable ensemble cast, this is another dramedy that feels overstuffed and pointlessly formatted as an interlinking anthology of tales.
An opening scene, which depicts weight-loss guru Jules (Cameron Diaz) competing in a reality TV dance show, suggests a film keen to flaunt its self-awareness about pop culture’s tragic, vapid potential. That the film itself, with its maudlin soap opera storylines and focus on ho-hum, only vaguely cheeky humour, is itself »

The Hey U Guys Cinema Release Round-up : 25th May
25 May 2012 5:30 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Sacha Baron Cohen’s The Dictator finally unseated The Avengers from atop of the UK Box Office standings this week after a barnstorming opening few days that was no doubt aided by plenty of surprisingly positive reviews. The Raid had an impressive showing too coming in 5th overall this past week which isn’t bad for an ultra-violent Indonesian martial-arts movie!
This weeks big release is the third outing for the Men In Black with Josh Brolin joining Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith in the intergalactic fight against alien invasion. Sony will be expecting big things from the Mib and it’s undoubtedly one of their tent pole blockbusters of the summer. After the damp squib that was Men In Black 2 however, there was hardly a major public demand for a third installment so it remains to be seen whether there will be sufficient interest. Nevertheless, if Smith and Jones »

Jada Pinkett Smith: 'I'm scared of clowns'
25 May 2012 4:30 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
What's it like being the voice of the hippo in the Madagascar films and the wife of Will Smith?
Hello! How's Cannes?
It's very busy and very beautiful. Oh my goodness. Usually when I have come it's rainy. The first time here I was 20, for Menace II Society. Oh boy, I didn't know anything then. My outfits were just … woah. (1)
Did you have to sleep on the floor?
No, fortunately not. It was a good time to just be naive and young and know absolutely nothing.
Do you ever feel limited doing cartoons? (2)
You have as much space as you need. If I go into a session and I do something and go: "I wasn't happy with that, I'd like to do that again," they say: "Ok, not a problem." Whereas, in live action, I tell ya what: it's best that you figure it out that day. You can go back, »

'Hunger Games' Star Alexander Ludwig Is All 'Grown Ups 2'
24 May 2012 8:13 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Alexander Ludwig is ready to lighten up a little bit.
The young actor, who played the villainous Cato in "The Hunger Games," will laugh it up in the comedy sequel, "Grown Ups 2," according to Variety.
Ludwig will be playing the role of David Spade's son (we don't know why, but we find that very amusing). Just what kind of father-son relationship they have in the movie remains to be seen, but we have a feeling it might involve some tension and/or conflict.
Alexander Ludwig was fantastic in "The Hunger Games" as the imposing District 1 tribute who has it out for Katniss and Peeta from the start. As terrific as he was at oozing evil, he was also very impressive when he got to show his tortured, melancholy side during the final face-off.
"Grown Ups 2" marks a merging of the worlds of "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight, »

24 May 2012 3:45 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »

Already slated to reprise their roles as childhood friends turned slapstick-prone parents are Sandler, Kevin James, David Spade, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider.

Pics From "Grown Ups 2" Set (Shaquille O'Neal Gives You A Reason To Want To See It... Maybe)

The first film was totally destroyed by critics, with 90% of them trashing it; but that didn't stop it from raking in over $160 million in box office domestically, and over $270 million worldwide. So it's no surprise that Columbia Pictures and Happy Madison Productions are shooting a sequel to Grown Ups, which starred Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James, David Spade, and Rob Schneider. And it looks like the entire starring cast returns, including Maya Rudolph and Salma Hayek, who will reprise their roles from the first film, while Oliver Cooper, David Henrie, Shaquille O'Neal, and others have signed on to play new characters. The film has been confirmed for »

London — The stars of the romantic comedy "What to Expect When You're Expecting" had plenty of praise for each other – and a warning about making out on the hood of a car – during the film's British premiere in London on Tuesday.
Cameron Diaz, Chace Crawford and Matthew Morrison, Anna Kendrick and Rodrigo Santoro were among the actors who walked the red carpet at the British Film Institute's IMAX theater.
The film – inspired by the bestselling book by Heidi Murkoff, and also featuring Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid, Cheryl Cole and Chris Rock – looks at love through the eyes of five interconnected couples as they experience pregnancy and childbirth.
Kendrick and Crawford were one of the couples with some steamy moments in the film. But the reality wasn't quite that great, Kendrick said.
"The scene where we kind of make out on the hood of a car, it all looks pretty sexy and cool and fun, »

Chris Rock Urged Manganiello To Strip For Magic Mike
23 May 2012 1:06 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Funnyman Chris Rock helped talk hunky Joe Manganiello into stripping off in racy new movie Magic Mike when the True Blood star asked the comic for career advice.
Manganiello heard he was on director Steven Soderbergh's shortlist for the saucy film while he was shooting What to Expect When You're Expecting and he took the script to co-star Rock for his take on the film.
The actor admits his funny friend wasn't a fan of the film until Manganiello mentioned Soderbergh would be directing and his co-star would be Matthew McConaughey.
He tells Entertainment Weekly, "I was like, 'Should I do it?' And he's like, 'Ooh... male strippers, I don't know.' I was like, 'If I do this movie, guys are gonna hate my guts.' And Chris Rock is like, Motherf**ker, guys are gonna hate your guts anyway. Brad Pitt spent 15 years with his shirt off, he's doing just fine. Who's directing?'
"I go, 'Soderbergh', and he goes, 'Who's in it?' and I go, 'Channing (Tatum), McConaughey...' He goes, 'Do the f**king movie!'" »

Settle in, friends, because GQ just released a long, must-read interview with troubled R&B superstar D'Angelo — his first in twelve years. Chris Rock, Questlove, and Angie Stone all pitch in on backstory, and there are also some vague updates on an album (he's got a bunch of songs; his team is pushing for a 2012 release). But it's the D'Angelo quotes you're here for: his Pentecostal upbringing, the dark period after "Untitled," his dreams about Marvin Gaye — there's plenty to unpack. Highlights below.On his first, failed attempts at rehab in 2005: "I went in under a fake name so people wouldn't know who I was, right?...So, you know, Michael never got treatment. It was this other character that was in there. And the moment I left, I went straight to the fucking liquor store." On the death of J Dilla: "I felt like I was going to be »
