22 May 2012 8:29 PM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »
Alan Ball will be stepping down as showrunner of "True Blood" at the end of Season 5, and now we know who will replace him should HBO renew the series for a Season 6. But before we get ahead of ourselves, here are the synopses of Episodes 5.01, 5.02, and 5.03, airing June 10, 17, and 24.
According to Deadline, co-executive producer Mark Hudis will be upped to executive producer/showrunner for Season 6 as part of an overall deal he has signed with HBO. The two-year pact also includes a development component.
Hudis has been on "True Blood" for two seasons — last year’s Season 4 and Season 5, which premieres June 10th. While his and Ball’s paths previously crossed on the CBS comedy series "Cybill", where they co-wrote several episodes during the 1997-98 season, the two first met two decades ago working at trade publication AdWeek. While leaving "True Blood" full-time after Season 5, Ball is staying in business »

'The Avengers' Torpedoes 'Battleship' At Box Office
21 May 2012 6:23 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
'Dictator' and 'Dark Shadows' also make the top five over the weekend.

Of all the foes the Avengers have defeated, Universal Pictures may be the first to cry, "You sunk my battleship!"
With another $55.1 million earned during its third week in domestic theaters, "The Avengers" held strong at #1 over the weekend as Earth's Mightiest Heroes fended off competition from three new contenders, including "Battleship." The big-budget action pic, loosely adapted from the vintage game, which featured the catchphrase "You sunk my battleship!" in its once-ubiquitous TV commercials, was a distant second with an estimated $25.3 million debut.
Universal spent a reported $209 million on "Battleship," which opened earlier overseas (where it has already made $226 million). But the domestic debut for the action flick, which mixes seafaring military adventure with an alien invasion, is still a huge disappointment. »
Brooklyn Decker Box Office: Battleship Tanks, What To Expect Below Expectations
19 May 2012 8:47 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Battleship: Brooklyn Decker, Taylor Kitsch Brooklyn Decker has two box-office disappointments opening on the same weekend: Decker is featured in Battleship and What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Both movies opened way below expectations on Friday; in fact, official studio estimates released Saturday morning have them faring even worse than Friday night estimates indicated. Starring Taylor Kitsch, Peter Berg’s Battleship raked in $9m at 3,650 locations on Friday in the Us/Canada according to Box Office Mojo. That’s about $500k less than early estimates. For comparison’s sake: Joss Whedon’s The Avengers, at the start of its third weekend out, took in an estimated $15.3m. Box-office prognosticators were expecting Battleship to gross $40m on its first weekend out in North America. It turns out the alien invasion actioner / sci-fier will be lucky if it earns much more than $25m. A Universal release, Battleship cost a reported $209m. »

Battleship Movie Review
19 May 2012 10:47 AM, PDT | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Battleship Directed By: Peter Berg Starring: Taylor Kitsch, Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, Tadanobu Asano, Hamish Linklater, Liam Neeson, Jesse Plemons, Gregory D. Gadson, John Tui Riggins and Landry in the Navy, Peter Berg Does Michael Bay, Transformers-esque, Not Really Battleship; any of those titles are just as fitting if not more so than Battleship. Back in 2005, after finding a planet similar to Earth, Nasa opts to beam a signal to what they dub “Planet G” in an effort to communicate. Also in 2005, Alex Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) is jobless, has to live with his brother, Stone (Alexander Skarsgård), and gets busted for stealing a burrito. On the [ Read More ] »

Review: Battleship
19 May 2012 8:30 AM, PDT | Slackerwood | See recent Slackerwood news »
Whether or not it's a fair comparison, people are going to think about Michael Bay when they watch Peter Berg's movie Battleship. This movie proves though, that only one person can do Michael Bay action correctly, and his name isn't Peter Berg.
Battleship is every bit the type of film that you can "turn your brain off to." It isn't going to win over a lot of critics, and it may not even win over the casual moviegoer, but give it some time after the first 30 minutes or so and you'll either not care anymore and enjoy the ride, or you'll just have to brace yourself for a pretty miserable 90 more minutes of what you just sat through.
Based on the famous board game of the same name, Battleship starts out with a bizarre storyline. Scientists have apparently figured out that they can send a signal to a galaxy »

Box Office: Taylor Kitsch/Battleship Bombs
19 May 2012 2:05 AM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
Taylor Kitsch (photo) continues to have poor luck at the North American box office. First, Disney’s Andrew Stanton-directed sci-fier / actioner John Carter became one of the biggest domestic bombs ever (in relation to the film’s gargantuan cost) when it opened in early March. Now comes Peter Berg‘s sci-fier / actioner box-office dud Battleship, which opened with an estimated $9.5m at 3,650 locations on Friday in the Us/Canada — well behind The Avengers‘ estimated $15.5m at the start of its third weekend. A Universal release, Battleship is expected to collect $26m at the North American box office this weekend according to early, rough estimates found at Deadline.com. That’s a dismal figure for a movie that cost a reported $209m. For comparison’s sake, John Carter, whose reported budget was $250m, opened with $30.18m. John Carter‘s domestic total to date is $71.78m. Internationally, it fared much better: $200.6m; a solid amount, »

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 »

Sound Off: Peter Berg's 'Battleship' Movie - So What Did You Think?
18 May 2012 10:31 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? C-4. Hit? Or miss? You played the game as a kid, now it's time to see the movie (or maybe not). Arriving in theaters is Universal's attempt at adapting a board game, specifically Battleship, into an explosive summer blockbuster directed by Peter Berg, starring an eclectic cast. Taylor Kitsch leads the way, with Alexander Skarsgård, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker and Liam Neeson, too. But is it even remotely entertaining or just terrible? Does this fleet of battleships sink quickly? How was Rihanna? If you've seen it, leave a comment below with your thoughts on Peter Berg's Battleship. Note: I haven't seen and don't care to see Battleship, it just doesn't look like anything I want to watch. So instead, here's a quote from our own Ben Pearson's review on Filmonic: "Battleship, which is not only one of the worst blockbusters in recent memory, »
