Set Visit: Battle of the Year with Josh Holloway

13 May 2013 11:46 AM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »

We visit the Battle of the Year set in Whittier, California to speak with the cast and crew

Director Benson Lee's 2008 documentary Planet B-Boy proved that the art form of breakdancing is still alive and well today, decades after the popular dance craze started in the 1980s. The filmmaker returns to put a narrative spin on B-boying in the upcoming drama Battle of the Year, arriving in theaters September 13. Back in December 2011, I was invited to spend a day at the Whittier, California set to speak with the cast and crew of this dance-fueled drama. In case you missed it, clickHere to watch the second trailer that debuted last week.

During most movie set visits I attend, we spend the day watching scenes being shot and interviewing actors, writers, directors, producers, or whoever else is available. Due to some unfortunate scheduling complications, we didn't get to see a lot of shooting, »

'Red Dawn' review: The type of dumb movie parodied by 'Team America'

16 March 2013 11:52 AM, PDT | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - Movie News news »

Director: Dan Bradley; Screenwriter: Carl Ellsworth, Jeremy Passmore; Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck, Adrianne Palicki, Jeffrey Dean Morgan; Running time: 93 mins; Certificate: 15

"We inherited our freedom. Now it's up to us to fight for it". This dismal remake of the overrated '80s cult flick is littered with the type of nausea-inducing patriotic dialogue lampooned by the likes of Team America: World Police. If you turn up the volume loud enough, you can probably hear the bad guys muttering the North Korean equivalent of 'durka, durka' repeatedly.

Red Yawn (sic) does itself no favours by seeking to establish a contemporaneous framework that positions the daring premise, revolving around a sudden invasion of America by North Korean forces, as a plausible scenario. For we're bombarded with a wealth of genuine news footage at the beginning, featuring the likes of Barack Obama, Kim Jong-il and Hilary Clinton. Tapping into credible fears is fine, »

This week's new films

Beyond The Hills | The Incredible Burt Wonderstone | The Paperboy | Welcome To The Punch | Shell | The Spirit Of '45 | Red Dawn | Vinyl | Maniac | Michael H. Profession: Director

Beyond The Hills (12A)

(Cristian Mungiu, 2012, Rom) Cosmina Stratan, Cristina Flutur. 152 mins

Romanian patriarchy had a lot to answer for in Mungiu's 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, and it's even more to blame in this powerful convent drama. It starts with a young woman coming to visit her former girlfriend, who's now a nun, but events increasingly spiral out of control, to the extent that romantic frustration is diagnosed as demonic possession… and duly treated.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (15)

(Don Scardino, 2013, Us) Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Jim Carrey. 100 mins

Doing for Vegas-style magic what Blades Of Glory did for figure skating, Carell and co conjure just enough comedy out of a sitting-duck premise, as their cheesy stage act is threatened by Carrey's Blaine-style endurance stunts.

The Paperboy (15)

Red Dawn Review: Dreadful Remake Of A Mediocre Film

15 March 2013 9:58 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars

It seems that Hollywood’s glut of remaking classic movies is over. They’re now deigning to tackle movies that weren’t very good in the first place, as John Milius’ propaganda cheese-fest Red Dawn gets the makeover treatment this week.

Filmed around three years ago but left to rot in a studio vault until Chris Hemsworth became famous as an Avenger, Red Dawn is the most crass Hollywood production in recent memory. Furthermore, in order to gain access to China’s massive movie market, the film’s antagonists were changed from Chinese to North Korean – as opposed to the original film’s Soviet Union – in post-production.

As an opening montage sequence demonstrates, this is a film desperately trying to cobble together a front of topicality; clips of famous political figures discussing the financial crisis and Kim Jong-un’s ascent to power are however too somber in tone, »

Red Dawn Review

14 March 2013 5:24 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

When remaking a film, to warrant such a decision you’ve either got to improve upon what came before or at least offer something completely different. If not, then you have to cope with carrying the burden of being victim to the degrading question of, what is the bloody point? Sadly as far as Dan Bradley’s remake of the 1984 cult action flick Red Dawn is concerned, such a question lingers over the entire production.

Chris Hemsworth leads the cast as former soldier Jed Eckert, who – alongside his younger brother Matt (Josh Peck) – forms the beginning of an uprising against the brutal North Korean army who have invaded their small town. The soldiers’ random attack sees many people murdered, and while the American residents are stripped of their freedom and bullied into a strict regime, the Eckert brothers – along with a modest sized group of friends that go by the »

Red Dawn Review

14 March 2013 5:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Director: Dan Bradley

Cast: Chris Hemsworth, Adrienne Palicki, Josh Hutcherson, Josh Peck

Synopsis: A young Marine, recently returned to civilian life, leads his friends in insurgency, when their Washington city is invaded, on all fronts, by a hostile foreign power.

One of the basic tenets of the chaos theory is that events are deterministic, suggesting that, given initial conditions, events are not susceptible to randomness. However, it is this precise determinism that, paradoxically, does Not make them predictable at all, but vulnerable to… chaos.  This is the key premise to director Dan Bradley’s Red Dawn.

Chris Hemsworth, (Jed Eckert) a Us Marine, has recently returned to his native Spokane, after a six year tour of duty in Iraq. His father, Tom Eckert (Brett Cullen) is the city’s chief of police.  Chris’s younger brother, Matt, (Josh Peck) looks up to his older brother, whom he thinks heroic.  The brothers, »

Red Dawn (2012) Blu-Ray Review

10 March 2013 6:45 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »

Dan Bradley’s Red Dawn was one of two shelved films sitting under layer of dust over at MGM after financial reasons caused the company to eventually sell off the properties in hopes of collecting some sort of cash. Fortunately for us the Red Dawn remake took advantage of the now-popular cast, causing the film’s release to be a mediocre event that works because of its well-staged action sequences and occasional shining moments between cast members.

Jed (Chris Hemsworth) and Matt (Josh Peck) are two brothers cut from very different cloths. Jed’s got a military background and is home on rest trying to bond with his father and younger brother Matt, while Matt simply wants nothing to do with Jed after their mother passed and he was left all alone to face the pain. Matt’s instead focused on school, his girlfriend, football and things that most young kids are tied into, »

New UK Trailer for Red Dawn

6 March 2013 1:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Red Dawn, the remake of the cult classic ’80s movie of the same name, was finally released in the Us late last year after getting delayed for a few years following MGM’s financial troubles.

Fast forward a few months, and the film is finally about to be released on our shores, having been acquired by Koch Media. And with its UK release date fast approaching, arriving next Friday, we’ve had the new trailer sent over to share.

“In Red Dawn, a city in Washington State awakens to the surreal sight of North Korean paratroopers dropping from the sky – the U.S. has been invaded and their hometown is the initial target. Quickly and without warning, the citizens find themselves prisoners and their town under enemy occupation. Determined to fight back, a group of young patriots seek refuge in the surrounding woods, training and reorganising themselves into a guerilla group of fighters. »

What to Rent: New DVDs This Week

5 March 2013 5:30 AM, PST | BuzzSugar | See recent BuzzSugar news »

Wreck-It Ralph John C. Reilly voices Ralph, a bulky video game villain itching to shed his bad-guy image and become a hero. The film's stellar voice cast also includes Sarah Silverman, Jane Lynch, and Jack McBrayer. Chock-full of nostalgic references (think Q*bert and Sonic the Hedgehog), Wreck-It Ralph is just as much fun for adults as it is for kids. The DVD comes with the Oscar-winning short film Paperman, deleted and extended scenes, and making-of featurettes. 86% Red Dawn Chris Hemsworth and Josh Hutcherson take the reins in this remake of the 1984 action film. This time, the invading forces are North Koreans, and they take over Spokane, Wa. Lucky for Spokane, its best and brightest young adults are ready to fight for freedom. Josh Peck and Adrianne Palicki also star in the unnecessary remake that suffers from a laughable script and distinct lack of charm that the original had. The DVD include four making-of featurettes. »
