“There’ve been photo books on jazz; there’ve been countless photo books on rock and roll, on the Rolling Stones, on Bruce Springsteen. Think about it, all those books that have been done. And there has never been a photo book done on R&B or soul or funk music. I’m the guy that’s got the photographs.”

HollywoodNews.com: A good movie can overcome a weak central performance (see – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service), just as a sparkling central performance can make a mediocre movie feel like a great one (see – Iron Man). But a poor story combined with a mediocre lead performance is a pretty toxic combination. Thus we have Taylor Lautner’s Abduction. I had a token amount of hope for the picture because I like trashy thrillers, even ones that star actors I don’t generally care for (see – Shooter). But the movie is just-plain bad. It’s not bad because Taylor Lautner can’t act, although this is surely not a convincing testament to his star power. It is weak because it fails to excel in the areas that had little to do with whether or not its lead actor was up to the task. John Singleton is saddled with a weak...

HollywoodNews.com: As a film critic, I’m not supposed to want to see this one. I’m supposed to recoil in horror and the genuinely bad acting on display in the two trailers from lead Taylor Lautner. I’m supposed to roll my eyes at the apparent cynicism that comes with giving this untested (as in ‘open it yourself’) actor several action franchises on the strength of a supporting role in a popular series.
After all, I’ve complained about the same circumstances in regards to Jeremy Renner. But come what may, the film itself looks like a glorious throwback to the trashy, borderline exploitative cheese ball action thrillers that went away at the beginning of the last decade. And I do miss this stuff with a passion. If someone other than Lautner were in the lead (or if the previews made it apparent that Lautner gave a better...

Directed by: Tom Hanks
Written by: Tom Hanks and Nia Vardalos
Starring: Tom Hanks, Julia Roberts, Bryan Cranston, Cedric the Entertainer, Taraji P. Henson, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Wilmer Valderrama, Pam Grier and Rita Wilson
Tom Hanks directs, co-writes and stars in “Larry Crowne,” a timely tale of second chances for the eponymous middle-aged character uprooted from his long-held, low-level position at a big-box chain.
Without a college degree, Crowne — despite his first-rate work ethic and unflappable niceness — is first for the chop when economic hard times demand human sacrifice. Instead of launching into a protracted legal battle that would have seriously curdled the positivity radiating from this film, Crowne accepts his lot and turns to community college for salvation.
Enter Julia Roberts as Mercedes Tainot, a disillusioned conversational skills teacher with a drinking problem and a deadbeat, porn-addicted husband. Contrasting strongly is her new student: Crowne,...
