• For some directors, the more absurd the log line, the better the movie. David Cronenberg’s (Videodrome) next film, which will reunite him with his Cosmopolis star Robert Pattinson, is described as a ghost story that also serves as a withering critique of the fame and celebrity-obsessed culture in Los Angeles. Called Maps to the Stars, Julianne Moore and John Cusack have just signed on to join the film as well. Moore can be seen in a number of big films in the next year including the Carrie remake, Non-Stop with Liam Neeson, and The Seventh Son. [Deadline]

DVD Review - Fun Size (2012)
18 March 2013 12:40 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Fun Size, 2012.
Directed by Josh Schwartz.
Starring Victoria Justice, Jane Levy, Thomas McDonell, Thomas Mann, Osric Chau, Chelsea Handler, Thomas Middleditch, Jackson Nicoll, Josh Pence and Johnny Knoxville.
Synopsis:
Wren's Halloween plans go awry when she's made to babysit her brother, who disappears into a sea of trick-or-treaters. With her best friend and two nerds at her side, she needs to find her brother before her mom finds out he's missing.
Fun Size is a Nickelodeon movie starring Victoria Justice. Justice has made a name for herself starring in kid friendly shows like Zoey 101 and Victorious. Now she gets a lead role in a feature film that feels like a made-for-tv movie. One has to wonder why this movie made it to the big screen when it could have easily performed much better as a Friday night movie on Nickelodeon.
While Fun Size isn't all completely bad, there's nothing »

Movie Review - Gangster Squad (2013)
19 January 2013 2:02 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gangster Squad, 2013.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer.
Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Michael Pena, Robert Patrick, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Nolte and Josh Pence.
Synopsis:
A group of incorruptible Los Angeles police officers join together to stop and up-and-coming mafia boss, sparking a violent war for control of the city.
Gangster Squad is an appalling lazy attempt at the gangster genre and falls flat in nearly every department. It’s like watching famous faces playing dress-up for 100 minutes whilst a film student in his first year makes what he thinks is a ‘cool’ take on the genre.
Comparisons to Brain de Palma’s undisputed classic The Untouchables are endless but listing these two films in the same sentence is as pointless as the reason for Gangster Squad ever being made. The story and script is nothing less than the best bits of other genre films cut »

'Dark Knight Rises' Sent Josh Pence Around The World
16 January 2013 9:35 AM, PST | MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news »
Even though we're already into a new year and new movie releases it still feels like we're wrapping up things from 2012, mostly because we're still riding out the end of the awards season. Now new year or old, we'll likely always find a way to talk about our favorite movie of 2012, "The Dark Knight Rises," and when we run into actors from the film it makes it that much easier!
Case in point, a recent run-in with Josh Pence, aka young Ra's Al Ghul. Sure, the guy only had a few quick flashes of screen time, but he was in a Christopher Nolan-directed Batman movie! Plus we haven't spoken with him about his experience yet since everything about that movie was so secret.
"Even when it was announced that I was cast [I couldn't say anything]," Pence said when asked about the levels of security that were required of him as a cast member. »

Josh Pence Looks Back On Filming The Dark Knight Rises
16 January 2013 9:24 AM, PST | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
The Dark Knight Rises opened up and became a box office Juggernaut over the summer. Christopher Nolan's conclusion to his Batman trilogy has been met with praise, and its fair share of critics as well. Josh Pence was cast as a young Ra's al Ghul early in the filming process, and not many people knew what kind of a role Ra's would play. Given that he, played by Liam Neeson at the time, seem to have been killed off in Batman Begins, people were curious as to what to expect. Chatting with MTV, Pence recounted what it was like being involved with the film, more specifically the tight lipped production that Christopher Nolan runs. He also said that some of his scenes were cut, but not enough to warrant any deleted scenes. Check the video out below. Get More: Movie Trailers, Movies Blog On Getting Cast In The Movie: »
Thoughts on... Gangster Squad (2013)
15 January 2013 11:35 PM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gangster Squad, 2013.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer.
Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Nolte and Josh Pence.
Synopsis:
A 1940s crime tale about the rise and fall of gangster Mickey Cohen.
Let me start by saying that I enjoyed Gangster Squad, but it is far from spectacular. It's not even 'great', it's just... enjoyable.
One of the problems that stuck out to me the most was how nothing was ever given time to develop. Not a single character, nor plot point, is given room to breathe and develop any substance. Everything is a shallow caricature of something which should have more substance; Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) is a hardened war veteran, Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) is a vicious man - it's all told and shown to us in quick glimpses, nothing is ever given any depth.

Second Opinion - Gangster Squad (2013)
12 January 2013 2:22 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gangster Squad, 2013.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer.
Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Robert Patrick, Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie, Giovanni Ribisi, Nick Nolte and Josh Pence.
Synopsis:
In 1940s La, a group of incorruptible police officers band together to stop an up and coming mafia boss. Throwing aside due process and badges and replacing them with bullets and anonymity, their violent ways lead to a war for the West Coast.
It’s strange that in noir movies, La’s always portrayed as morally bankrupt. Beautiful but deadly. You’d think that Hollywood would want to portray itself better. But then there’s the promise that perhaps you yourself could join in the party, that you could become a free willing smart aleck who doesn’t pay attention to the rules. The mystery is always what’s bought me to noir, both the mystery of the crime and the characters themselves. »

Gangster Squad Movie Review
11 January 2013 9:35 AM, PST | ShockYa | See recent ShockYa news »
Title: Gangster Squad Director: Ruben Fleischer Starring: Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Anthony Mackie, Michael Peña, Nick Nolte, Robert Patrick, Giovanni Ribisi, Mireille Enos, Josh Pence, Troy Garity, Jon Polito, Haley Strode The very jokey forthrightness of its title, “Gangster Squad,” evokes a kind of disposable pop-art mash-up of “The Untouchables” and “L.A. Confidential,” but with the seriousness of an old Saturday morning serial, and that’s just what director Ruben Fleischer’s rendering of screenwriter Will Beall’s period piece crime drama achieves. No thunder-clap piece of cinema, this, but instead a square-jawed movie that more or less works to the degree that one watching it is wishing to be entertained at that [ Read More ]

Movie Review - Gangster Squad (2013)
11 January 2013 2:28 AM, PST | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
Gangster Squad, 2013.
Directed by Ruben Fleischer.
Starring Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Sean Penn, Giovanni Ribisi, Michael Pena, Anthony Mackie, Robert Patrick, Nick Nolte and Josh Pence.
Synopsis:
Based on a true story, Gangster Squad follows an off-the-books team of Lapd officers trying to take down a ruthless mobster, Mickey Cohen (Penn), in 1949 Los Angeles.
There is an eternal air of interest in the mob story. Back in the 1930s and ‘40s the gangster genre was a booming success at the box office. Citizens (mostly those in America) still tackling the crippling debt of the Depression found some odd solace in watching an anti-hero take what everyone wanted – money. The likes of Scarface (the Howard Hawks version), Little Caesar and The Public Enemy highlighted this new breed of man - they were exciting, taboo and fresh. As cinema changed so did the crime film, constantly changing focus from police to the thieves. »
