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 Hunger Games Sequel Has New Official Title
25 May 2012 8:30 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
The Hunger Games sequel has a new official title. Lionsgate has made a slight change to the title of the Francis Lawrence-directed sequel. Initially titled Catching Fire, the title is now The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I guess that the studio wanted to make sure there was no confusion for people that have not read the books. Although uncomfirmed, the third book will likely be released as two separate films and titled The Hunger Games: Mockingjay.
Simon Bea and Michael Arndt adapted the screenplay from Suzanne Collins' novel. Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones, and Woody Harrelson are all set to return. We will have a number of new cast additions we will be announcing soon.
I am excited to see this next film in the series. Who would you like to see cast in the numerous supporting roles? »

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 »

24 May 2012 1:29 PM, PDT | shocktillyoudrop.com | See recent shocktillyoudrop news »
The Fringe is a place where non-horror genre films can get some play on Shock. These films might be sci-fi, fantasy or action - and certainly contain some horror elements - but will likely be light on scares, or, straight-up "horror." Still, they might be of interest to you.
Lionsgate has announced a minor title change for the second part of their blockbuster franchise. Formerly titled Catching Fire, the Francis Lawrence-directed sequel to this year's The Hunger Games will now be called The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
Written by Simon Bea and Michael Arndt and adapted from Suzanne Collins' bestseller, the new film will feature the return of Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, Liam Hemsworth, Lenny Kravitz, Elizabeth Banks, Stanley Tucci, Donald Sutherland, Toby Jones and Woody Harrelson with quite a few new additions that are expected to be announced soon.

“Hunger Games” Targets DVD & Blu-Ray August 18th
23 May 2012 8:38 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »
Sharpen your bows. Lionsgate Entertainment announced that the DVD and Blu-Ray’s for Hunger Games is about to shake the world of Panem. The 2-disc sets are due to come out 12:01 Am Saturday August 18th, according to ComingSoon.net. I loved the movie and loved the books, but do people really stand in line for DVD releases?
Hunger Games was the first massive hit of the year, based on the insanely popular young adult trilogy by Suzanne Collins. While it’s financial successes have been overshadowed by Avengers of late, it arguably has even more room to grow with subsequent releases, as can be seen by the Twilight and Harry Potter franchises (that doesn’t mean it will ever top Avengers, however). The dystopian movie, directed by Gary Ross and starring Jennifer Lawrence as the girl on fire, Donald Sutherland, Stanley Tucci, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, »
