Five Movies That ‘Drag You To Hell’
29 May 2009 10:00 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
Director Sam Raimi makes his long awaited and apparently triumphant return to the horror genre this weekend. “Drag Me to Hell,” starring Alison Lohman, Justin Long, Lorna Raver and David Paymer, follows loan officer Christine Brown (Lohman) who ends up cursed after she turns down a mortgage extension for the wrong person. Her sanity crumbles as the world around her turns into a sort of living hell.
Now Raimi is far from the first filmmaker to look to the netherworld for inspiration. In the course of building this list, I found that there are surprisingly few horror movies that deal directly with Hell as a location, at least in comparison to other genres. That said, film in general is littered with references, reinterpretations and outright visitations to the realm of the damned. Heck (ha!), as the list below shows, even musicals aren’t safe from Satan’s touch.

Movie Review: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009)

Ben Stiller in Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
Photo: 20th Century Fox The best way to describe Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is to say it is harmless, but that doesn't necessarily make it good. Besides a couple of chuckles, this flick never inspires much laughter outside of a moment when Ben Stiller as Larry Daley kisses the reanimated version of Amelia Earhart and a youngster in my audience yelled out, "Ewwwwww!" Pretty rough when a 7-year-old (guessing) in the audience supplies the film's largest laugh. I never saw the 2006 original film, but from what I have heard it isn't half bad despite the majority of negative reviews it received on its way to an impressive $250+ million domestic box-office haul. Negative reviews be damned! Money talks and Stiller is back as Larry Daley, a graveyard-shift night watchman at the Museum of Natural History in the first film,

Ridiculous Gooby Trailer
19 May 2009 8:30 AM, PDT | From WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news
The trailer for "Gooby" came out a few days ago, but I ignored it because its poster said it all. I now decided to check this thing out and it turned out to be worth posting. Not because it's good, but because it is one of the most ridiculous and disturbing things I have ever seen. Plot: Willy is terrified about moving into the family's new house. In response to his longing for someone to save him, Gooby comes to life as a big, lovable, scruffy creature who quite possibly may be more frightened of the world than Willy. The two new pals embark on hair-raising adventures and learn about courage and the power of friendship all the while with Eugene Levy on their trail. Check out the trailer below.

Tom Hanks & Rita Wilson Take the Stage in L.A.
19 May 2009 4:27 AM, PDT | From TheInsider.com | See recent The Insider news
"The Insider" headed to The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles Monday night to watch as Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Martin Short, Christina Applegate and other stars performed Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors." The stars also opened up about their reaction to Farrah Fawcett's courageous documentary "Farrah's Story". "It's our 19th year of doing this," Rita Wilson says about the event. "It's an incredible event because we get actors sometimes who have never done Shakespeare before to get up on stage." "We love Shakespeare, it is our roots," Tom Hanks adds. "Shakespeare Festival Los Angeles -- that's La's Shakespeare company and we do anything we can in order to promote, and in order to get some people out there and raise some dough." "The Comedy of Errors" was put on by Shakespeare Festival La, a non-profit theater company that helps to raise funds to teach Shakespeare to kids in an

Gooby Movie Trailer (A Kid’s Movie About the Bear in The Shining?)
18 May 2009 11:12 AM, PDT | From /Film | See recent /Film news
What kind of slimy creature passed for human long enough to make this film? I would not be surprised if the director died recently of perversion withdraw. People keep emailing me this trailer because they think it is funny. No. It’s disturbing. It’s sick. What is Gooby? Gooby is the fucking thing you see above, a furry figment in the “very active” imagination of a young boy named Willy. As seen here, Gooby is constantly blowing the mind of Eugene Levy, so much so that his hair stands up like Wolverine’s. Gooby is voiced by the guy who plays Hagrid in the Harry Potter franchise. But who really plays Gooby? Who is the Prowse to the Earl Jones? A sick man, and a furry enthusiast no doubt. In fact, every time I view the trailer in horror, I’m more convinced that Gooby is actually the bear-man from The Shining.

Hippies Rejoice! New Taking Woodstock Images
14 May 2009 12:22 PM, PDT | From Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news
Ang Lee is such a fascinating director that I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that there is something magical about “Taking Woodstock”. The guy has never failed me before, and yes, I’m even one of the guys who thought his “Hulk” was fantastic, and I’ll continue to say that until the day I die. So, here are some new images from Lee’s “Taking Woodstock”, which from all appearances looks like a dramedy — parts comedy, parts growing up comedy, all Ang Lee. A man working at his parents’ motel in the Catskills inadvertently sets in motion the generation-defining concert in the summer of 1969. Starring Liev Schreiber, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Emile Hirsch, Dan Fogler, Paul Dano, Eugene Levy, Kelli Garner, Imelda Staunton, Demetri Martin, Kevin Sussman, and Katherine Waterston. Directed by Ang Lee (”Brokeback Mountain”). Get your hippie love on August 14.

Film Junk Weekend Wrap-Up: Elisabeth Shue in Piranha 3-D, Less Than Zero Sequel, American Pie: Book of Love

I didn't get around to posting a Weekend Wrap-Up last Sunday, so this installment will collect two weeks' worth of leftover news stories. Some of the biggest discussions over the past week focused on the Observe and Report controversy and Billy Bob Thornton's on-air hissyfit, but some intriguing new projects from Errol Morris and Sofia Coppola were also announced. Elsewhere, we heard some casting news for the remakes of Piranha and Clash of the Titans, plus yet another American Pie direct-to-dvd sequel. Hey, Eugene Levy's gotta get a paycheck from somewhere!

Astro Boy Trailer Blasts Off
17 April 2009 3:46 PM, PDT | From ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news
The first Astro Boy trailer is already out, but we at Screen Rant never posted it because apparently I’m the only Astro Boy enthusiast on staff, and I didn’t know the trailer was out until yesterday. No matter though, for those of you who have been curious about how the CGI adaptation of Astro Boy is shaping up, I have the trailer solely for your viewing pleasure.
Ok, so a few things to talk about. First, the animation is pretty good! Certainly not better than say, the trailer for Pixar’s Up (which blew me away), but pretty good.
And ok, maybe this trailer doesn’t give you all the robot-on-robot smackdown action we’ve been promised Astro Boy is going to deliver, but it does a good job of showing you who the loveable main character is (Astro Boy), what he’s all about (roboting it up

Reid Pulls Out Of Pie
14 April 2009 11:55 PM, PDT | From wenn.com | See recent WENN news
Tara Reid has pulled out of the latest American Pie sequel after negotiations surrounding her return to the franchise broke down, according to reports.
Her comeback was expected to be finalised on Friday, but sources tell movie news website MovieHole.net a deal could not be done in time.
Reid, who recently spent time in rehab for a drinking problem, was expected to reprise her Vicki Lathum character from the first two American Pie films for a seventh film, called Book of Love.
Original American Pie star Eugene Levy has signed on for the new film, alongside crooner Wayne Newton and U.S. TV favourite Sherman Helmsley from The Jeffersons.

It was just revealed that Tara Reid will return to the franchise that made her famous, by taking a role in the upcoming straight to DVD "American Pie Presents Book of Love." The filmmakers behind the new installment set their sights on getting Tara Reid, Thomas Ian Nichols and Eugene Levy to reprise their roles, but only ended up getting Reid and Levy. With a bit of money left in the budget, CinemaBlend is reporting that the studio instead cast several D-list celebrities, including Carrot Top, Gary Coleman, Wayne Newton and Sherman Hemsley, best known for playing George Jefferson in "The Jeffersons."

Moviehole is reporting that Tara Reid is going back to the franchise that started it all for her, "American Pie." She will reprise her role of Vicki Lathum, from the first two films, for the straight to DVD "American Pie Presents Book of Love." Plot: Ten years after the first American Pie movie, three new hapless virgins discover the Bible hidden in the school library at East Great Falls High. Unfortunately for them, the book is ruined, and with incomplete advice, the Bible leads them on a hilarious journey to lose their virginity. For those who remember the first film, Kevin (Thomas Ian Nicholas) used the newly learned tricks from the book on his then-girlfriend Vicki (Reid). The new movie is directed by John Putch ("Scrubs") and penned by David H. Steinberg (American Pie 2). It stars Bug Hall (Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves), Kevin M. Horton (Big Game), and Eugene Levy.

Tara Reid Returns to 'American Pie'
13 April 2009 12:32 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Back in October, rumors were swirling that the American Pie series was going to make a triumphant return to theaters after finding so much success in the direct-to-dvd market. While that doesn't seem to be happening just yet, we've got one better for you: According to Moviehole, Tara Reid will reprise her role as Vicki Lathum in the next bargain-bin sequel, currently titled American Pie: Skank Patrol! I kid, of course, they're calling this installment American Pie: Book of Love, and it apparently follows a group of kids who discover the so-called "sex-bible" from the original film in their school library and set out on a quest to lose their virginity. Reid appeared as Vicki in the first two American Pie films, and will join Eugene Levy as the only other original cast member still munchin' on that tasty pie.

'Fast and Furious 5' and 'American Pie 5' in 2010
11 April 2009 10:22 AM, PDT | From India.com | See recent India.com news
Universal studio has confirmed that a fifth instalment of 'The Fast and the Furious film series' is underway for production.
The news comes just days after the 'Fast & Furious 4' recently set a record of raking in 72.5 million dollars over the last weekend.
Paul Walker, who stars along with Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and Jordana Brewster in the fourth sequel, had confirmed another one was in the line-up.
"This was supposed to be it. There wasn’t supposed to be the open-ended closing like there was," E! Online quoted him as saying in an interview with MYfm's Valentine.
"When I first read the screenplay, I was like, ''Man, look what they’re doing.'' But without question, with the way things opened up, Vin and I will be coming back, we’re making a fifth one, and we’re going to Brazil, that’s it," he added.

Tara Reid Gets Another Slice of 'American Pie'
11 April 2009 5:00 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
When you really stop to think about it, the American Pie movies have etched out pretty cruel legacies for a lot of its young cast members. Over the past decade, Seann William Scott and Alyson Hannigan have probably maintained the highest profile, and Mena Suvari and Jason Biggs work pretty consistently.
But Chris Klein is still stuck with being one of the worst actors of his generation, Shannon Elizabeth now plays poker on ESPN2, and there is, of course, the very sad story of Natasha Lyonne, who appears to have emerged out of a very dark period in her life.
As for the walking punchline of the American Pie set, Tara Reid, man, did it not have to be that way. She could have been a real breakout star, with this movie and The Big Lebowski in close proximity. But she got pretty heavily invested in being a star, and

Taking Woodstock Gets a Groovy Poster
10 April 2009 1:36 PM, PDT | From Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news
Remember when Woodstock happened? No? Me, neither. But let’s just pretend we do for the purposes of this post. Via Focus Features, here’s the first one-sheet teaser poster for Ang Lee’s coming of age drama/comedy “Taking Woodstock”. The film stars Demetri Martin, Emile Hirsch, and Eugene Levy, with the August release date timed to the 40th anniversary of the historic Woodstock Music and Arts Festival, aka Hippie Wonderland. A generation began in his backyard…. From Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee (Brokeback Mountain, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), comes Taking Woodstock, a new comedy inspired by the true story of Elliot Tiber (Demetri Martin) and his family, who inadvertently played a pivotal role in making the famed Woodstock Music and Arts Festival into the happening that it was. It’s 1969, and Elliot Tiber, a down-on-his-luck interior designer in Greenwich Village, New York, has to move back upstate to

Reel Talk Mixtape: Thursday, April 9th
9 April 2009 2:32 PM, PDT | From ReelTalkTV.com | See recent ReelTalkTV.com news
Want to see something that’ll mesmerize you? Check out the brand new teaser poster for “Taking Woodstock.” The film is based on the autobiography of Elliot Tiber and Tom Monte called “Taking Woodstock: A True Story of a Riot, a Concert, and a Life.” Demetri Martin will play Elliot, the guy who provided a base and permit for the Woodstock concert organizers. “Taking Woodstock” also features Imelda Staunton, Live Schreiber, Emile Hirsch, Paul Dano, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Eugene Levy. It’s set to rock theaters on August 14th.
In not-so-exciting-teaser-poster-news, here’s the artwork for Roland Emmerich’s “2012.” While the image may be nothing exciting, the film’s plot most certainly is. John Cusack, Amanda Peet, Danny Glover, Thandie Newton, Oliver Platt and Woody Harrelson star in this disaster flick about those who survive a cataclysmic event. The tagline is even pretty compelling: “Who will be left behind?
