Supporting Actors: The Overlooked and Underrated (part 4 of 5)
13 hours ago | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Tom Noonan as Francis Dollarhyde in Manhunter (Michael Mann, 1986, USA):
Noonan is absolutely incredible as a serial murderer in this underrated adaptation of Thomas Harris’ novel Red Dragon. With all respect to the talented but miscast actors involved in Brett Ratner’s 2002 adaptation Red Dragon (USA), with the exception of Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, the acting in this earlier, superior version of the book exists on a much higher level. Most notably, there’s nothing resembling a comparison between Noonan’s Francis Dollarhyde and Ralph Fiennes’ interpretation. This role is by far Noonan’s finest film work to date and should not be missed.
Other notable Tom Noonan performances: Phoenix (Danny Cannon, 1998, USA).
Christopher Walken as Brad Whitewood Sr.in At Close Range (James Foley, 1986, USA):
Having once described his role in this film as “the hillbilly Lucifer”, Walken is incredible as a rural crime boss bringing his son, »

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island
Stars: Josh Hutcherson, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Luis Guzman, Vanessa Hudgens, Michael Caine | Written by Brian Gunn, Mark Gunn | Directed by Brad Peyton
An in-name only sequel (well apart from star Josh Hutcherson) to the 2008 original, Journey 2 follows the adventures of Sean Anderson (Hutcherson), who receives a coded distress signal from a mysterious location where no island should exist. It’s a place of giant creatures, mountains of gold, deadly volcanoes and more than one astonishing secret. Unable to stop him from going, Sean’s new stepfather, Hank (Johnson), joins the quest. Together with a helicopter pilot (Guzman) and his beautiful, strong-willed daughter (Hudgens) they set out to find the island, rescue its lone inhabitant, Sean’s grandfather (Michael Caine) and escape before seismic shockwaves force the island under the sea and bury its treasures forever.

The 10 greatest Jason Statham films
4 May 2012 4:15 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
To celebrate the presence of Safe in UK cinemas, here’s an updated list of action hero Jason Statham’s very best films to date…
2011 was without doubt Jason Statham’s best year so far. He managed a grand total of four cinematic releases, though at one point that total was nearer six, until 13 seemed to vanish without a trace and Safe was sensibly pushed back to 2012, thus avoiding an overload of machismo greater than the average human could cope with.
As a result of his insane productivity, our long-standing list of his greatest movies so far needed an update, an event that will hopefully need to be done annually, as he continues to be one of the most productive actors working today.
Statham’s still sensibly chosen to concentrate on making action movies and thrillers all squarely aimed at an adult audience, providing a constant and much-needed fix for someone as bloodthirsty as me, »

Will Hollywood ever speak Hispanic audiences' language?
13 March 2012 5:53 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Hispanic-Americans are among the Us's keenest film-goers, but Hollywood offers them little more than stereotypes
• What global box-office stories would you like to see in After Hollywood? Let us know in the comments below
It's not obvious what language Will Ferrell's new film, Casa de Mi Padre, is speaking. Everyone's favourite cross-eyed man-child had last-minute cramming sessions in order to be able to drawl the Spanish-language dialogue for the comedy – a sendup of cheesy rural-Mexico telenovelas. But just as Ferrell admits he still can't really hold a conversation in Spanish, Casa looks like it could have communication issues, too. Is it a deft in-joke for the Us's movie-mad Hispanic audience? Or does Ferrell's presence just crank up the irony factor for the urban-hipster crowd to indulge yet another cultural fetish?
Movie executives would, if they had to choose, plump for the former. As well as the largest ethnic minority, »

Dwayne Johnson in Negotiations for Journey 3
8 March 2012 8:36 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »
After Journey 2: The Mysterious Island proved to be an international box office smash, New Line Cinema was quick to get all the behind-the-scenes folks back on board for a third go-round in the franchise. Reports indicated that they were quite keen on getting the front-of-camera contributors back under contract as well, and now, it looks like Dwayne “Don’t call me ‘The Rock’, because I’m an actor now” Johnson is in talks to reprise his role as Hank, stepfather to Sean Anderson (Josh Hutcherson); Johnson first came aboard the franchise to replace Brendan Fraser, who was felled by a tragic case of not wanting to do the second film. Hit the jump for more. The Wrap reports that Johnson may very well return for a third Journey after the overwhelming success of the most recent effort.

Journey 3 Gets Greenlight at Warner Bros.
6 March 2012 12:13 PM, PST | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Warner Bros. is lining up a sequel to Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, bringing back director Brad Peyton and screenwriters Brian Gunn and Mark Gunn for Journey 3.
No story details were given, but it is said that this sequel has been placed on the fast track, with the studio aiming for a 2014 release. Like Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, Journey 3 will also be a 3D family adventure, although no deals have been signed yet for any returning cast members.
Here's what director Brad Peyton had to say about expanding this franchise, which is based on the novels of Jules Verne.
"I grew up a fan of Verne, so I know a lot about the mythologies. Mysterious Island was one of eight or nine really seminal works. I know we've just scratched the surface of what we can do. This one's going to be a lot bigger. We're going to go to a completely different world. »

Ethan Peck is not just the grandson of Hollywood royalty, he's set to play a prince in the new futuristic pilot The Selection, about a woman who is chosen by lottery to marry the prince of a kingdom on the brink, drawing some comparisons to The Hunger Games. I most remember Peck for 10 Things I Hate About You on ABC Family, in which he played the bad boy.
I don't understand how this Grindr love story ended up on Salon. Frankly, I don't know how the author ended up on Grindr. Dude: If you're the type of guy that can't smile politely at last week's trick when you bump into him at 7-11, you probably aren't the hook up type, quit trying, you're clogging up the system. So you saw his penis online or even in person – why so shy later? I've never understood that issue.
