Remember Jim Carrey in Liar, Liar, where he forces himself to tell the truth for 24 hours? Well, here Jim Carrey forces himself to answer yes to any request, for a year. Which is upping the ante somewhat, but doesn't make it a better film. This is a return to the manic, gurning, not-very-funny Carrey, as if The Truman Show, Eternal Sunshine etc hadn't happened. Just say no.

Bioware is one company that takes its voiceover work seriously. For Star Wars: The Old Republic, Bioware hired over 100 actors to voice over 40 novels worth of written material. And now Bioware has announced that it has hired several top-notch voice actors for the heavily-anticipated sci-fi sequel, Mass Effect 2.
Dr. Ray Muzyka, co-founder of Bioware and Group General Manager of the RPG/Mmo Group of EA, reasoned that,
“[e]motionally engaging narrative is a key design pillar for Bioware, and the top-notch voice talent in Mass Effect 2 helps drive this goal. Credible, powerful personalities are vital to delivering a compelling story experience in Bioware’s games, and we have assembled an amazing ensemble cast that surpasses the very high bar set in the original Mass Effect!”
Martin Sheen (The West Wing, Apocalypse Now) stars as the mysterious Illusive Man who commands Cerberus, a secretive paramilitary organization dedicated to protecting human interests in the galaxy. »

BioWare has revealed the voice cast for its upcoming science fiction title Mass Effect 2. The game stars multi-award-winning actor Martin Sheen, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Seth Green, Chuck duo Yvonne Strahovski and Adam Baldwin, and Keith David (Crash). Seasoned sci-fi actors including Star Trek's Michael Dorn, Battlestar Galactica pair Tricia Helfer and Michael Hogan, and The Matrix's Carrie-Anne Moss will also feature. "Emotionally engaging narrative is a key design pillar for BioWare, and the top-notch voice talent in Mass Effect 2 helps drive this goal," said BioWare co-founder Dr Ray Muzyka.

Bioware may want "Mass Effect 2" to feel like "The Empire Strikes Back," but the game's casting choices pull from "Star Trek: The Next Generation" and "Battlestar Galactica." Former Klingon Michael Dorn and "BSG" stars Michael Hogan and Tricia Helfer will join big-name actors Martin Sheen and Seth Green in the sequel, rounding off an impressive lineup.
“Emotionally engaging narrative is a key design pillar for BioWare, and the top-notch voice talent in 'Mass Effect 2' helps drive this goal,” BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka said in a press release. “Credible, powerful personalities are vital to delivering a compelling story experience in BioWare’s games, and we have assembled an amazing ensemble cast that surpasses the very high bar set in the original 'Mass Effect'!”

At last weekend’s press junket for Ninja Assassin, I had the opportunity to speak with producer Joel Silver twice. The first time was an exclusive TV interview, and the second time was during a roundtable interview the following day. While I normally would be happy to use just one of the interviews, since Joel Silver is producing so many high profile projects (Lobo, Sgt. Rock, The Apparition), I knew getting to speak with him twice would be a good thing.
Also, what a lot of people don’t realize is how much info a producer can tell you. While it’s always great to talk with an actor, unless you’re a Brad Pitt, most actors don’t have that much juice to get a project made. So that’s why getting to speak with Joel Silver is so great, because not only can he talk about all his projects that are getting made, »

Richard Curtis sets out to the high seas to rock our world, Roland Emmerich just obliterates it and Wes Anderson reenvisions it in stop-motion animation, while as a group of documentaries ponder real world issues of war, God, poverty and Glenn Gould.

On behalf of moviegoers everywhere, we here at IFC would like to thank that schoolyard bully who must have so traumatized a young Roland Emmerich that he has spent his recent career ritualistically laying waste to our world one famous landmark at a time. Having previous employed such excuses for mass destruction as alien invasions and global warming, this time cinema's most destructive director turns to an ancient Mayan prophecy that foretells the end of all mankind, and once again batters humanity -- specifically John Cusack and assorted stragglers -- like the »

Yesterday we brought you an excrutiatingly tense Pandorum clip showing Ben Foster's Cpl. Bower going toe to toe with a nasty space creature, and now like Christmas: Part 2, we have another clip to offer. Introducing the characters played by Antje Traue, sort of a hot German Ripley mixed with Milla Jovovich's Alice and Carrie Anne Moss' Trinity - and Cung Le, an Mma fighter who could kill you in ways we can only attempt fleetingly (Youtube him), the clip also gives another close up look at the big bad. Still no sign of Cam...

Honestly, Snow Cake is quite hard to appreciate, subjectively speaking. However, if you're willing to put some effort into the film, you'll probably find it appreciable. Besides, the film's biggest strength is definitely the cast's great performance given that the leading actors are Alan Rickman, Sigourney Weaver and Carrie-Anne Moss.
On his way to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Alex (Alan Rickman) lets Vivienne (Emily Hampshire), a hitchhiker who wants to go to Wawa, Ontario, hop in his car. However, a drunk truck driver (Callum Keith Rennie) hits Alex's car and as a result of that, he's the only survivor of the car accident. Since Vivienne is dead, Alex feels duty-bound to offer his apologies to Linda (Sigourney Weaver), Vivienne's autistic mother, and keep her company for a few days before heading to Winnipeg. At the same time, Alex will also develop a love relation with Maggie (Carrie-Anne Moss), Linda's neighbour.

It’s been five years since Green Day’s multi-platinum, Grammy-winning album “American Idiot” came out, but work on the material is still very alive. A musical adaptation is set to debut at California’s Berkeley Repertory Theater in September and frontman Billie Joe Armstrong continues to push for developing the disc’s post-9/11 stories for the big screen. And he wants to do it in an unexpected way.
"I thought 'American Idiot' had a lot in common with something like 'Rocky Horror Picture Show,'" Billie Joe told The Associated Press. "It would great to see a film made out of it someday too."
Strange, perhaps. But “Idiot” has been subtly intertwined, at least in the minds of Green Day’s musical trio, for years. During the “Idiot” tour in 2004, concert-goers who arrived early to the venue were treated to the sounds of the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" soundtrack »

We love our fantasy/sci-fi women ... ladies who can wield a sword or rocket launcher as well as any man, but do it so much more stylishly and, in some cases, in much less clothing! Here are ten women we definitely want on our side in the heat of battle.
Jane Fonda as "Barbarella"
in Barbarella
"Queen of the Galaxy" is a tough moniker to live up to, but if anyone can do it, Barbarella can. She has to deal with murderous children and their killer dolls, horny aliens, a blind (albeit hot) angel, and Anita Pallenberg as an eyepatch wearing assassin who Really wants to get to know her. Best of all, she shows us the proper way to strip in zero gravity, and you can see it Here, in one of the greatest (and mildly Nsfw) openings in film history. »

If you've seen The Matrix you know why the film community heralds it as a benchmark achievement in filmmaking. Just as 2001: A Space Odyssey and Star Wars set the bar for film special effects, The Matrix came along and made us re-examine everything we thought a movie could do. Revolutionary, groundbreaking, mindblowing - these are all terms people use to describe The Matrix. It's certainly all true, but up until now, what I'd appreciated most about The Matrix was this: it packaged a Philosophy 101 course into a digestible Sci-Fi flick with a raging techno/rock/orchestral score and jaw-dropping action sequences. The Blu-ray release of The Matrix turns this scale on its head bringing the action scenes to the level they were always meant to reach - now the film is superb all the way around.

Blu-Ray Rating: 5.0/5.0 Chicago – Like a lot of movie fans, one of the first DVDs I owned in the early days of the technology was the revolutionary “The Matrix,” starring Keanu Reeves, Laurence Fishburne, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Joe Pantoliano from directors Andy and Larry Wachowski. Not only was this sci-fi action extravaganza an easily re-watchable film but it looked amazing with DVD quality. Of course, HD was developed for movies like “The Matrix,” now available as a stand-alone Blu-Ray release for the first time.
The tenth anniversary edition of “The Matrix” brings the already-influential tale of Neo, Morpheus, and Trinity home in crystal-clear 1080p High Definition with the film’s original 2.40:1 aspect ratio. The impressive audio track is a Dolby TrueHD English 5.1 track and the film also includes French and Italian 5.1 tracks and Spanish and Portuguese 2.0 tracks.

Just yesterday we were a bit underwhelmed by the results of a new movie-themed survey that named Steve McQueen’s Bullitt the most iconic car chase flick. We’re not so jaded that it elicited yawns around Boxwish HQ, but we have to admit it didn’t really get our engines revving. Unlike the results of a survey today that has had us debating like feverish politicians. But let’s not hold you in suspense any longer. The poll, conducted by Sky Movies to promote their upcoming “action season” of films sought to find the most kick-ass of all cinematic action stars and coming out on top was none other than a woman. Take a bow Sigourney Weaver.
As Lt. Ellen Ripley in the long-running Alien franchise, Sigourney re-wrote the action star rule book winning a part that originally had been written as male. To win the poll, she beat »
