First Trailer and Poster for Baggage Claim Starring Paula Patton, Taye Diggs, and Adam Brody

9 May 2013 9:06 AM, PDT | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

Fox Searchlight has released the first trailer and poster for director David E. Talbert’s (First Sunday) romantic comedy Baggage Claim.  The film stars Paula Patton as an unmarried flight attendant who becomes determined to find a man before her younger sister’s wedding.  In order to aid her on her quest, her friends at the airport arrange several of her ex-boyfriends to cross her path.  Though the “I need a man to make me feel whole” premise is rather played out and at least a little offensive, Baggage Claim actually looks like it has a few genuine laughs in store for audiences.  Also, Adam Brody plays the “gay best friend” character, so there’s that. Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  The film also stars Derek Luke, Taye Diggs, Jill Scott, Boris Kodjoe, Trey Songz, Tia Mowry, Lala Anthony, and Djimon HounsouBaggage Claim opens on September 27th. »

‘The Americans’ Season Finale – Wars Without Tears

2 May 2013 4:06 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

The first season of The Americans came to a thrilling end in “The Colonel,” a gratifying resolver that still left plenty to ponder for Season 2.

Our favorite Directorate S agents were given two separate orders, Elizabeth (Keri Russell) was to meet the Colonel (Victor Slezak), with intelligence on President Regan’s Star Wars missile defense system, while Phillip (Matthew Rhys) was ordered to retrieve a the latest recording from Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger’s study bug, which audiences learned from last week, was compromised by Agent Gaad’s (Richard Thomas) task force.

Orders came from Claudia (Margo Martindale) in another icy exchange with Elizabeth, sparking suspicion from her and Phillip, that the meeting with the Colonel was most likely, a setup due to its sudden urgency and level of intelligence exchanged. It was finally agreed upon that they carry out the orders as planned–until Phillip changes the plans at the last minute, »

Lance Gross Says He Was Up For The Harrison Wright Role In 'Scandal' & Diddy In 'Notorious'

29 April 2013 2:27 PM, PDT | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »

In the video interview below, Lance Gross tells New York’s Hot 97 hosts Angie Martinez and DJ Enuff, that he was up for the Harrison Wright role in Scandal, but obviously lost to Columbus Short.  He also says that he wanted to play P Diddy in Notorious, but the part ended up going to Derek Luke. Being an actress myself, I will add that he was probably one of several actors who auditioned for those roles, so it may not necessarily mean that, in the case of Scandal for example, the job came down to either him or Columbus Short. But can you see Lance Gross as a "Gladiator in a suit?" Or as P Diddy? I just can't see him in Scandal, but I think he may have been a better choice for P. Diddy »

Anthony Mackie Will Have A Prominent Role In ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’

15 April 2013 10:17 AM, PDT | LatinoReview | See recent LatinoReview news »

Black Film recently spoke with Anthony Mackie (The Hurt Locker, Pain & Gain), who plays Falcon in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, about the significance of his role.

Aside from Rhodey in Iron Man, there have not been many major characters of color included in the Marvel films so far.

In an interview with Black Film, Mackie was asked if his role would be greater than that of Derek Luke’s (Antwone Fisher, Glory Road) in Captain America: The First Avenger, which was limited.

Mackie said:

I’m happy to say that I’m in a good deal of the movie and I play an integral part with Captain America taking down the winter soldier.

Mackie also gave details on what the costume would be like:

They just released pictures of the costume last week. It’s more of a military style tactical costume. He’s more along the lines of »

The Americans Recap: No Future in His Sleep Tonight

11 April 2013 10:05 AM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

“I don’t see a whole lot of future in my sleep tonight.” Stan Beeman says that to Phillip Jennings in “Only You,” my second favorite episode of The Americans after “Gregory.” And as it happens, “Only You” feels like a sequel, or at least a bookend, to “Gregory,” killing off one of the show’s most memorable characters, Derek Luke’s Gregory — the American-born ally of the Kgb and Elizabeth Jennings’ sometime-lover — in a lyrically violent set piece preceded by an emotionally wrenching buildup. Stan delivers that line while sitting in the recently separated Phillip’s hotel room, and although it plays in the scene like an amusing, accidental inversion of what he probably meant to say (“I don’t see a whole lot of sleep in my future tonight”), it comes to seem like foreshadowing near the end, when Gregory goes out in a hail of bullets in a suicide-by-cop. »

The Americans Ep 1.10 ‘Only You’ says farewell to a loyal soldier

10 April 2013 10:35 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »

The Americans Season 1, Episode 10 ‘Only You

Directed by Adam Arkin

Written by Bradford Winters

Airs Wednesday nights at 10pm Et on FX

In a surprising move, The Americans shows us its hand halfway through ‘Only You’, an episode focused solely around the FBI’s hunt for Chris Amador’s murderer. In a scene near the episode’s midpoint Phillip and Elizabeth – now living in separate quarters – go to meet Granny, who tells them that it’s time to move Gregory out of the country. He’ll be rewarded she tells them, but she wonders if he’ll be able to adjust to life in the Soviet Union. Elizabeth thinks so – Phillip isn’t so convinced, which leads Granny to subtly suggest that if Gregory should decide not to go, there’s always another option to tie up the loose end.

From that moment on, ‘Only You’ makes it clear that Gregory will die. »

The Americans 1×10 – “Only You” Review

10 April 2013 8:03 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »

Stars: Keri Russell, Matthew Rhys, Annet Mahendru, Holly Taylor | Created by Joseph Weisberg

From its inception, The Americans has been a show about spies creating lives and facades in an effort to throw down a regime that they’ve been taught to need to destroy since they were youngsters. But, it also raises another idea in its midst, an idea amongst many, many others – people who aren’t raised in this life but are still nevertheless devoted to the cause or at the very least helping to build the cause, to give it weight and vitality. ‘Only You’ revolves around many of the events in the last few episode, really the whole season and brings Gregory back into the fold and provides closure, at least for now to things involving Amador’s death and Gregory’s involvement with the cause. It’s also a tense, dramatic hour of television.

Review: 'The Americans' - 'Only You'

10 April 2013 8:03 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »

A review of tonight's "The Americans" coming up just as soon as I can find a travel agent staying in a motel under his own name... "But in a war, blood gets spilled. That's how it goes." -Agent Gaad The casualties of that war continue to mount in "Only You," in which Derek Luke's Gregory opts for commit suicide-by-cop over the culture shock of moving to Moscow. It's a memorable farewell (scored to Roberta Flack's "To Love Somebody," one of the show's better, less obvious musical cues), and one that speaks on some level to Philip's earlier interest in defecting.

Rumor: Morris Chestnut as Black Panther in “Avengers 2″?

9 April 2013 4:07 PM, PDT | FamousMonsters of Filmland | See recent Famous Monsters of Filmland news »

Prepare for another rung of the rumor mill concerning the character of T’Challa, better known as Black Panther. Following a now deleted Twitter post, the internet was abuzz that perhaps Chestnut had been hired as Black Panther, and that he’d be involved in Joss Whedon’s Avengers 2.

Obviously, not so fast. Earlier, actor Morris Chestnut (Kick-ass 2, V, American Horror Story) posted the following on his Twitter: 

“It’s time to get familiar with the Black Panther character!”

This was removed, and now Chestnut posted this update: 

“Not final, #BlackPanther may be in #avengers2 first. Rt @jamaal91604133: @Morris_Chestnut Can’t wait to see this movie. #BlackPanther

What does this mean? Nothing, for now. But the idea that Black Panther may make his debut in Avengers 2 just got a little bit more likely. As for Morris Chestnut? It’d be a massive boon for the actor, but »

Wesley Snipes Released From Prison

5 April 2013 1:54 PM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

April 15 is almost here, so you'd better file that tax return soon or else you might end up like Wesley Snipes. The “Blade” actor recently got out of prison after serving three years on tax evasion charges. According to TMZ, Snipes was released from McKean Federal Correctional Institution in Pennsylvania on April 2 and will continue to be under house arrest until July 19. The 50-year-old was convinced in 2008 on three misdemeanor counts for failing to file his tax returns and cheating the government out of $7 million. Throughout the case, Snipes maintained his innocence and blamed two co-defendants for advising him wrongly. But the government said he was part of a radical anti-tax group that doesn't believe the Internal Revenue Service has the power to collect taxes. His legal troubles have derailed Snipes's acting career. He had been set to star in Spike Lee's 2008 movie “Miracle at St. Anna,” but he was replaced by Derek Luke. »
