Paz Vega in the Human Contract Trailer, DVD Release Date
18 May 2009 10:19 AM, PDT | From Beyond Hollywood | See recent Beyond Hollywood news
Paz Vega is a major star in Spain, but she’s never really caught on in the States despite being in a number of Hollywood films as the female lead. Unfortunately her latest movie, “Human Contract” isn’t going to help in that regard, because the film is going straight to DVD June 30 courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. The film is a pretty spicy little drama, because let’s face it, when you think Jada Pinkett Smith, you think spicy little dramas. Okay, maybe not so much, but the trailer sure sells the sex pretty hard. Not that there’s anything wrong with that. The film is Rated R, so one supposes there will be follow-through with all the teasing. A highly successful but personally tortured ad businessman (Jason Clarke) has his life turned upside down after meeting a free-spirited, mysterious beauty (Paz Vega), who tempts him to explore reckless love Starring Jason Clarke,

Movie Review - 'Not Forgotten'
15 May 2009 1:40 AM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
Starring Simon Baker, Paz Vega, and Chloe Moretz
Directed by Dror Soref
Rated R
Sometimes you just throw your hands up and hope that the movie fell apart for all the right reasons. By that I mean that the story on screen really isn't the script the cast agreed to, and that the financing fell apart in the middle of production, causing certain sacrifices to be made that otherwise would clear up this whole mess.
But a movie should never have to explain itself afterward. That's why you give it two hours of your time to make its case.
Not Forgotten makes sense at the beginning, but it's a slow and steady decline after that. And this is why you hope that the real screenplay - the only that wasn't filmed for whatever reason - had more on the ball; you'd hate to come to terms with the

New trailer, release details for Not Forgotten
5 May 2009 2:02 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
Anchor Bay Entertainment sent along the link to a new trailer to herald the theatrical release of its supernaturally tinged thriller Not Forgotten, starring Land Of The Dead and The Mentalist’s Simon Baker. You can check out the preview below.
Directed by feature first-timer Dror Soref from a script he wrote with Tomás Romero, Not Forgotten stars Baker as a man whose search for his abducted daughter (The Eye’s Chloe Moretz) takes him through the darkest corners of Mexico, where he encounters much worse things than swine flu—including a death cult called Santa Muerte.

Manly Casting Bites: A Huston God and Mr. Big
29 April 2009 6:45 PM, PDT | From Cinematical.com | See recent Cinematical news
Fie Louis Leterrier, and all of the people behind the Clash of the Titans remake! I have to admit, Liam Neeson as Zeus and Ralph Fiennes as Hades tempted my curiosity, and now I can't help but see it. The Hollywood Reporter posts that Danny Huston is the next man of the Titans, and he will play Poseidon -- God of the Sea. Leterrier only knows how much this will mean for the actor, since this so-called remake is switching up the story left, right, and center. Maybe this time around, we'll see the old guy get sexy with Medusa. Whatever the case, this is one more big flick for Huston, and maybe one day we'll get some solid starring work, and a North American release for Fade to Black while we're at it. (What's Fade to Black? Why, it's the film where he stars as Orson Welles. A project that also boasts Paz Vega,

May 2009 Monthly Movie Preview
27 April 2009 9:51 AM, PDT | From The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news
The movie studio executives play God around this time every year. Don’t listen to mother nature … summer starts May 1. The blockbusters are upon us, and it looks like May might just be The big month of movies this year. Sure, we have to wait for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, but we’ve already been waiting for that last one for a while now. And it looks like each week we will have a new box office winner … my hunch is Wolverine will have the biggest opening weekend, but when it’s all said and done, Star Trek will be box office king. Let’s get to the films.

Blu-Ray Review: ‘The Spirit’ Deserves Another Chance at Life in HD
16 April 2009 4:19 PM, PDT | From HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news
Chicago – Frank Miller’s “The Spirit” is far-from-perfect. The attempts at goofy humor fall flat, the script is wildly uneven, and Gabriel Macht is deadly dull in the title role, but there’s way more to like here than I expected after missing it in theaters and hearing all the horrendous buzz from its initial release. It may not be great, but “The Spirit” could surprise you too. It’s a mess, but it’s kind of a beautiful mess, especially in HD.
Blu-Ray Rating: 3.5/5.0 What do I like about Frank Miller’s take on the classic Will Eisner comic? It’s unapologetic. I always appreciate filmmakers willing to stick to their creative vision and there’s no denying that aspect of “The Spirit”. Miller is a visually intriguing director and “The Spirit” is just fun to watch in 1080P and with the incredibly low expectations I had going into it.

Cuba Gooding Jr. is the Last Post-Apocalyptic Warrior
30 March 2009 7:29 AM, PDT | From SciFiCool.com | See recent SciFiCool.com news
Snicker at the idea of Cuba Gooding Jr. playing a genetically altered super warrior in a post-apocalyptic wasteland if you will, but I think he could pull it off. Hey, he’s no Denzel Washington and this is no “Book of Eli”, but Gooding Jr. has proven himself more than capable of action movie heroics before, and I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. In a war-ravaged and disease-ridden future, a genetically altered killing machine escapes impending destruction and goes on the run, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. According to Cinema Blend, the movie was originally supposed to star Laurence Fishburne, who has since been replaced by Gooding Jr. The film, according to IMDb.com, will co-star Spanish beauty Paz Vega, and Olivier Martinez and Vincent Perez are “rumored” for roles. I don’t know what “rumored” means, though, since IMDb.com

Cuba Gooding Jr. Is The Last Warrior
30 March 2009 2:23 AM, PDT | From cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news
Just when you thought Cuba Gooding Jr.'s post-Oscar career couldn't possibly get any more unintentionally laughable, along comes The Last Warrior. Production Weekly says it's a post-apocalyptic film set in a war-ravaged, disease ridden future where a genetically altered soldier escapes, goes on the run, and lays waste to everything in his path. And guess what? Cuba Good Jr. is starring in it. No word yet on whether Cuba will play the aforementioned genetically altered soldier, but if he does it will no doubt be his best performance since Radio. In the movie along with him is Olivier Martinez, and according to IMDb maybe even Spanish beauty Paz Vega. It's being written and directed by John Eyres, the mind behind such films as Irish Jam, Octopus, and the Shadowchaser series. It's being produced on a budget of $15 million by Hannibal Pictures. What I'm getting at here is that this

Salma Hayek Joins Adam Sandler Comedy
17 March 2009 9:57 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
My mind does not immediately go to comedy when I think of Salma Hayek. In my defense, that's usually because of what she's wearing. But Salma will play Adam Sandler's wife in that new comedy for Columbia, for which Sandler has recruited Kevin James and all his old SNL buddies who can't make a hit movie on their own.
There's no title yet, but think Happy Madison Presents The Big Chill; the film will follow five best friends from high school who reunite over a holiday weekend. The Hollywood Reporter informs us that Maya Rudolph and Colin Quinn will factor in somehow, and - surprise, surprise - Dennis Dugan will direct.
Hayek has dabbled more in comedic roles lately. She's had guest spots on Ugly Betty, of which she is an executive producer, and she has had an extended run on 30 Rock. However, playing Sandler's wife? He's becoming the new Woody Allen.

Spanish actress Paz Vega has confirmed that she is four months pregnant with another baby, her second child with husband Orson Salazar. Report on her pregnancy was first brought to the surface by People en Espanol.
"I'm doing really well. The upsets from the first months have passed - a couple of months that were really hard - and now, to enjoy!" so the movie beauty has been quoted as telling Europa Press in a recent interview. No other details of the forthcoming baby have been mentioned though.
Vega, moreover, also disclosed on how she taught her eldest child, son Orson, about the baby she is carrying. She said she has explained to Orson "that there is a baby in my belly." Though finding the process not easy at all, Vega could draw a silver lining through it, saying "A pregnancy is a marvelous moment that I would love to repeat and repeat.

The Slamdance Film Festival wrapped up a few weeks ago, and today we got news of the first theatrical distribution pick-up from the fest so far: Myriad Pictures' Not Forgotten starring Simon Baker and Paz Vega.
The thriller was directed by Dror Soref, who co-wrote the script with Tomas Romero, and will be distributed in the Us, UK, and Australia by Anchor Bay Films, the new feature film division of Anchor Bay Entertainment. Not Forgotten tells the story of Jack Bishop (Baker), a man with a secret past that is revealed when his daughter is kidnapped. To find her, he enlists the help of the cult La Santa Muerte and returns to his roots in the squalid, seedy barrios of Mexico. La Santa Muerte is a centuries-old mixture of Catholicism and paganism in which devotees pray to the saint known as The Holy Death for revenge and other acts against their enemies.

Penelope Cruz hopped from the Rome set of Nine to Madrid, where she walked the green carpet at last night's Goya Awards alongside her sister Monica and Benicio del Toro. Benicio took home the Best Actor statue for Che, and Penelope was crowned Best Supporting Actress for Vicky Cristina Barcelona. She's no stranger to the podium at the Goyas, but she was still deeply touched by the honor. Penelope didn't stick around Europe long - she made it to La to attend today's Oscars luncheon. She recently opened up about her nomination, saying, It’s not a lie that it is an honor to be nominated, and if I don’t win, I won’t be any less honored, but . . . look, ask anyone who is nominated.
