Blu-ray Review: Shaky Cam Mayhem in Joburg With Safe House
22 May 2012 1:52 PM, PDT | Twitch | See recent Twitch news »
The CIA thriller Safe House uses a lot of sleight-of-hand in the attempt to create the illusion that there's more movie there than is actually, you know, there. Denzel Washington is along to lend the necessary gravitas to this story of a disavowed spy who knows too much (or in this case, has a chip with information a lot of people want to get at), while Ryan Reynolds is the young CIA agent responsible for bring Washington's character in for interrogation (and the harsh treatment that word now typically obscures). You'd be forgiven for thinking that the Johannesburg setting would serve as more than just window dressing or that a cast with Vera Farmiga, Brendan Gleeson, and Sam Shepard would have more to do than »

Rachel McAdams joins Richard Curtis’ About Time
18 May 2012 3:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Richard Curtis (Love Actually) all but single-handedly dominated the British romantic-comedy in the ’90s, writing Four Weddings and a Funeral and then Notting Hill (as well as Bean in between).
He made his directorial debut with the much-loved Love Actually back in 2003, and followed it up with the brilliant The Boat that Rocked three years ago, and is set to go back behind the camera this year with About Time, directing from his own script.
We heard earlier this year that Zooey Deschanel was in talks to join the film as the female lead, but THR report that the lovely Rachel McAdams is now in negotiations to take the lead opposite Domhnall Gleeson (Brendan Gleeson’s son) instead.
Described as a fantastical feel-good movie, the film centres on,
“Tim, a young man who comes from a family of time-travelers. When Tim learns of his unique gift from his father, he »

First Official Look at Shia Labeouf In Robert Redford’s ‘The Company You Keep’
16 May 2012 12:19 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Shot last year, we’ve been heavily anticipating the next directorial effort from Robert Redford. Despite crafting one majorly dull film with The Conspirator, there’s a few factors that have our eyes on The Company You Keep. With a script from Lem Dobbs (The Limey, Haywire) and a score by Cliff Martinez (Drive, Contagion), the film has an excellent cast, toplined by Shia Labeouf. The young actor is finally breaking out of his Michael Bay grasp and heading to much more enticing projects, including Lawless, bowing at Cannes this week.
Adapted from Neil Gordon‘s novel, the film centers on “a former Weather Underground militant Jim Grant (Redford) wanted by the FBI for 30 years for a Bank of Michigan robbery, who must go on the run when his true identity is exposed by a young, ambitious reporter (Labeouf) hell-bent on making a name for himself.” Julie Christie, Sam Elliott, »

Holy Smurf! Sony Planning a Third 'Smurfs' Movie for 2015
11 May 2012 12:50 PM, PDT | Fandango | See recent Fandango news »
Talk about getting ahead of yourselves. While the notion of scripting multiple sequels isn't that novel, Sony is banking on the overwhelming success of the first Smurfs movie to jump ahead of next summer's sequel and pen a third film. The Smurfs sequel recently made news when Christina Ricci, Brendan Gleeson and J.B. Smoove agreed to cash a lucrative paycheck. The Smurfs 2 arrives in theaters July 31, 2103. Variety reports that Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche (they penned and directed the animated comedy Over the Hedge) are on board to write and direct The Smurfs 3. The first Smurfs movie grossed a surprising $563 million worldwide. It's clear that Sony isn't ready to put that cash cow out to pasture just yet. The third Smurfs film should arrive in theaters...

Rachel McAdams Thinking 'About Time' and Romance All Over Again
11 May 2012 10:22 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
As anyone who has seen Love Actually can attest, British writer/director Richard Curtis knows how to make a good romantic comedy. His next film, About Time, will be another addition to the genre. It's being called "a fantastical feel-good movie" about a guy who has the ability to travel back in time and meets his dream girl. Could this be Safety Not Guaranteed meets Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? The casting was already looking pretty good as Zooey Deschanel was said to be up for the lead female part, but instead THR reports it will be romantic comedy stalwart Rachel McAdams who is now in negotiations to take the role. Brendan Gleeson's son, Domhnall Gleeson, will play the male lead, and Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie, Lydia Wilson, and Vanessa Kirby will round out the cast. It was a lot of fun to watch McAdams, who has »

Sony Already Smurfing 'The Smurfs 3'; Script Being Smurfed By 'Over the Hedge' Smurfs
11 May 2012 8:23 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Talk about planning ahead. Before our megaplexes can even be graced by the currently in-production sequel to 2011 children’s flick “The Smurfs,” the film’s studio Sony is really eager to turn the epic saga of these little blue individuals into a trilogy.
We heard about “The Smurfs” sequel awhile back as it added talent like Christina Ricci, Brendan Gleeson and J.B. Smoove to the mix, but Variety is reporting that Sony is getting a little ahead of themselves as the studio is already developing a script for "The Smurfs 3" with scribes Karey Kirkpatrick and Chris Poche onboard. Both were responsible for DreamWorks Animation’s “Over the Hedge,” and we’d guess they will probably be joined by many of the principal cast and creatives because this is the sort of films just screams “Payday!” for all involved. We’re sure “The Smurfs” creator Peyo would never have believed that »

It’s ‘About Time’ For Rachel McAdams
10 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
For all those who love Notting Hill and Rachel McAdams, get excited. The talented starlet has jumped aboard writer/director Richard Curtis‘ About Time, a “feel-good movie” about a man who has the ability to travel back in time. After what will presumably be time-travelling adventures, he meets his dream girl [THR].
The man will be played by Domhnall Gleeson, son of actor Brendan Gleeson. British regulars Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie, Lydia Wilson and Vanessa Kirby will co-star.
Curtis has become a staple in the romantic comedy genre (responsible for Bridget Jones’ Diary and Love Actually to name a couple), as has McAdams. In fact, one of her more recent semi-successful romantic vehicles is The Time Traveller’s Wife, which shares a premise eerily similar to Curtis’ new project.
Production is set to begin in London in June.

Rachel McAdams in Another Tearjerker? It's 'About Time'
10 May 2012 8:00 PM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
Rachel McAdams is going to make you believe in the (sometimes supernatural) power of love … again.
The adorable star of such romantic dramas as "The Vow" and "The Notebook" is set to continue breaking hearts as she signs on to play the female lead in "About Time," according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"About Time" follows in the footsteps of McAdams' "The Time Traveler's Wife" and "Midnight in Paris" as it adds a little otherworldly spice to all the kissy-kissy with it's feel-good story of a man who can travel through time and the complications that arise when he meets the girl of his dreams.
McAdams will be playing the dream girl in question (a role to which Zooey Deschanel had previously been attached), with Domhnall Gleeson (Brendan Gleeson's son) set to play her space/time-bending suitor. The cast also includes Bill Nighy, Tom Hollander, Margot Robbie, Lydia Wilson and Vanessa Kirby. »

Rachel McAdams Could Join The Time-Travel Comedy About Time
10 May 2012 7:11 PM, PDT | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
I'm starting to think that Rachel McAdams may have a thing for guys who have the ability to time travel. In 2009 she starred alongside Eric Bana in The Time Traveler's Wife as a woman who lives a life with a husband who can't control his ability to time jump, and now she's getting set to play a similar role - only this time the time travel ability is controlled and it's a comedy instead of a drama. McAdams is now in talks to play the female lead in About Time, the new film from director Richard Curtis. The script, which Curtis wrote, is described by THR as a "fantastical feel-good movie" about a man who can time travel and his meeting with the girl of his dreams. Domhnall Gleeson, who is actually the son of In Bruges actor Brendan Gleeson, is set to play the male lead and Brendan Gleeson, »

The Cup Movie Review

Title: The Cup Director: Simon Wincer A true story based on the coveted horse race in Australia flies to the finish line. Literally. And you know what? It’s “no worries” as they say down-under…or at least in the Crocodile Dundee flicks. Yeah, the majority of American audiences will not recognize any of the performers save for Irish born thesp, Brendan Gleeson; who plays a revered horse trainer from Ireland that goes all in on a successful Australian jockey (played by co-writer Stephen Curry) to mount one of his horses, that many believe is past-its-prime. The story based on actual events takes place in 2002 Melbourne. Very little time is devoted [ Read More ] »
