‘Ride Along’ Trailer: Ice Cube & Kevin Hart Are Buddy Cops
5 hours ago
Ride Along stars comedian Kevin Hart as Ben, a high school security guard who intends to marry the love of his life, Angela (Tika Sumpter). The only problem is he needs the approval of her overbearing, hot-tempered older brother, James (Ice Cube), who also happens to be a decorated Atlanta police detective who looks down upon the unmanly Ben as a potential suitor.
So, to prove his worth, Ben decides to join the Apd, but even after being accepted, he still has to pass James’ final test, which is a 24-hour “ride along.” The ensuing Training Day-like experience becomes one neither will ever forget, as the designed practice run turns into real life danger in the criminal underworld of Atlanta.

‘Fleming’ Trailer: The Story Behind the Man Who Made James Bond
7 hours ago
A decade before he began writing what would become the first James Bond novel, Casino Royale, author Ian Fleming was employed as a top agent for British Naval Intelligence. Though he did not fight on the front lines of World War II, Fleming was heavily involved in the planning and execution of several major spy and commando operations against the Axis.
Having said that his war experiences directly influenced the creation of 007, Fleming makes for an interesting choice for a biopic – something bandied about for quite a while. British broadcast Sky Atlantic will be the first out of the gate with its upcoming miniseries, Fleming. Set during the manic days of 1940s London, Fleming is a drama following the future author’s encounters with the intelligence set and a wealthy baroness who will change the course of his ...

7 Movies We’re Looking Forward To: July 2013
9 hours ago
It’s about the midpoint of summer and we’ve already seen our fair share of box office hits, surprises, and flops. We’ve also got another two months of summer movie watching ahead of us, starting with July’s bountiful selection.
While there may not be an Iron Man 3 or Man of Steel-sized release this month, there are still plenty of films to get excited about. Audiences will be lining up to see everything from giant robots to elderly spies, but the return of a certain mutant is likely the month’s most anticipated film.
Here are the 7 movies we’re looking forward to in July 2013.

‘Walking Dead’ Season 4 Poster & Premiere Title Revealed
12 hours ago
It seems like no show on television has the ability to take control of a comic convention like The Walking Dead does, inspiring awesome and funky walker cosplay, stentorian squeals, and serpent-like lines that stretch far and move in concert toward the shared goal of stealing a moment with Norman Reedus or one of the show’s other stars. And this year’s San Diego Comic Con will be no different – in addition to celebrating the 10th anniversary of the comic that Godsparked all this hub-bub, we’re also sure to learn a bit more about what’s to come in season 4.
The first step toward that end? This promotional poster for the upcoming season, that ...

‘Pacific Rim’ Round-Up: New Clips, Posters & Featurette
12 hours ago
Pacific Rim is right around the corner (temporally speaking, anyway – geographically it depends on where you’re reading this from), and there’s been no shortage of posters, trailers and featurettes to tease the epic showdown between man-made giant robots and extra-dimensional oversized monsters. Since we’ve already had so many, a few more can’t possibly hurt.
In the latest round-up of new promotional material for Pacific Rim, there are three minute-long clips from the film, an extended featurette, and two new posters. These may well be among the last of their kind that we see, until the extra features for the DVD and Blu-ray release, at least.
The three new clips are all of ...

Christian Bale Says He Won’t (& Shouldn’t) Return For ‘Justice League’
12 hours ago
Bad news for those who thought that Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale’s take on Batman in the pair’s Dark Knight trilogy was the definitive live-action version: it seems we can finally put to rest hopes of seeing the star suit up on screen once more. Although rumors of a Justice League film being planned by Warner Bros. and DC Comics refuse to die following the success of Man of Steel (2013), Bale has again spoken on the likelihood of ever returning to play Bruce Wayne.
Expressing the same opinions he has in the past, the star sees Nolan’s take on the character as a finished story. From his point of view, the ...

Guillermo Del Toro Says ‘Crimson Peak’ is Shocking, Kinky, Gothic & Scary
14 hours ago
This month’s major release from Guillermo del Toro – Pacific Rim – is an all-singing, all-dancing robots vs. monsters action movie with dimensional rifts, psychically-linked pilots and what looks like a massive amount of destruction. As fun as all of this sounds, it’s understandable that del Toro would want to plan something very different and a little less bombastic for his next directorial outing. Thus, he is embarking on Crimson Peak: a ghost story set in England, which will see del Toro reinvigorate the horror directing talents with which he first made his name.
Del Toro has previously cited Robert Wise’s The Haunting and Jack ...

William Fichtner Talks Shredder in the ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Reboot
14 hours ago
Acclaimed character actor William Fichtner was reported to have joined the cast for the live-action Teenage Mutants Ninja Turtle movie reboot two months ago. However, that news was accompanied by conflicting rumors about which character he will portray: The Shredder – who is far and away the most iconic adversary that has fought the Heroes-in-a-Half-Shell - or the mad scientist Dr. Baxter Stockman in the film.
It was Fichtner who ended up shining a light on the situation, by confirming that he will play Shredder in the Tmnt movie reboot. The actor being hired is the latest piece of evidence that this film’s version of the character will be a rather significant departure from tradition (i.e. Shredder’s ...

New ‘Hobbit’ Production Video; No Comic-Con Appearance for ‘Desolation of Smaug’
16 hours ago
It’s been six and a half months since the last one, but Peter Jackson has now released the eleventh installment in his ongoing series of production videos for The Hobbit movie trilogy. This behind-the-scenes clip focuses on the currently-ongoing pick-up shoots and additional photography for both this December’s second installment (subtitled The Desolation of Smaug) and next year’s finale, There and Back Again.
Unfortunately, said video also includes a formal announcement from Jackson, where he reveals that The Desolation of Smaug won’t be featured in a panel at the 2013 International Comic-Con in San Diego in a couple weeks. So, those who will be present at the festivities this year – and were hoping for a panel similar to last year’s for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – will have to cross out that item from their to-do list at this year’s event.

Stan Lee Namedrops ‘Black Panther’ As Film Marvel is Still Developing
17 hours ago
Official announcements, inside reports and wild rumors in the last month alone point to a wide array of possibilities for what path Marvel Studios will take their multiple franchises down come time for Phase Three of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. After The Avengers 2 and Ant-Man, the door currently sits wide open for what new characters and intellectual properties Disney and Marvel may develop for the big screen.
As we inch closer to Comic-Con International 2013 in San Diego, it’s becoming increasingly likely that fans and moviegoers will learn at least part of what the studio is planning for the future where we expect at least one new character (Doctor Strange) to get a film announced. Is there any chance Black Panther will get the spotlight as well?

Armie Hammer Has ‘Lone Ranger’ Sequels Deal; Johnny Depp Ready to Return
17 hours ago
Director Gore Verbinski’s revisionist The Lone Ranger required a lot of money to make – possibly as much as $250 million – and that contributed to the Disney film winding up stalled during pre-production for several months (along with an early script draft’s questionable elements). However, later this week, audiences will finally be able to decided for themselves whether or not the western blockbuster was worth all the development brouhaha.
The movie stars Armie Hammer as a law-abiding man, who becomes the titular cowboy vigilante and joins forces with Tonto (Johnny Depp), who is a very unusual warrior from the Camanche tribe. Hammer has a deal that would bring him back for any future Lone ...

‘Falling Skies’ Season 3, Episode 5 Review – Campfire Stories
18 hours ago
Every now and then, when a large-scale series like Falling Skies dedicates an hour (or parts of it) to telling a smaller, more personal story, it proves to be a benefit not only for the characters, but the storyline as well. One of the more effective scenarios is to give one or two characters a clear objective and see how it all plays out. In the case of ‘Search and Recover,’ that object is the survival of Tom and Pope.
While it doesn’t carry with it the same affecting melancholy as ‘Clear,’ the recent and memorable bottle episode from The Walking Dead, ‘Search and Recover’ serves the same purpose: ...

Roland Emmerich Wants Brent Spiner Back for ‘ID Forever’; Talks Superhero Film ‘Singularity’
18 hours ago
The invading alien army might have been temporarily delayed due to their regretful decision not to update their antivirus software, but you can’t keep them away for long. Roland Emmerich’s sequel to his 1996 blockbuster success Independence Day, currently titled ID Forever Part 1, will be out in theaters a little over two years from now, and the director is already organizing the next big disaster.
Emmerich has previously revealed that, by the time the plot of ID Forever Part 1 begins, the movie universe will have been heavily diverted along a tangent from our own. Not only have the people of Earth had access to several hundred square miles of ...

‘Black Nativity’ Trailer: Jennifer Hudson Sings Christmas Carols
19 hours ago
Langston, a street-smart black teen from Baltimore, knows little to nothing about his grandparents, who have never been a part of his life (having fallen-out with his single-mom some years before). Economic hardship results in Langston and his mom being evicted from their home, so the former ends up journeying to New York to spend the Christmas holiday season with his estranged grandfather and his wife.
It doesn’t take so long for Langston to buckle under the strict rules imposted by his grandpa (who is a reverend), which eventually leads the frustrated young man to attempt and flee back to Baltimore. However, along the way, Langston makes new friends who – along with some divine intervention – teach him vital lessons about family, faith, and healing from the past, as illustrated through the soulful music and story of the Black Nativity.

Could ‘Hellboy 3′ Be Picked Up By Legendary? [Updated]
21 hours ago
Pacific Rim could be the movie of the year for geeky film buffs (like us), but does everyone else share our enthusiasm? Guillermo del Toro directed from the script he co-wrote with Travis Beacham, based on a futuristic premise where humankind wages war against giant monsters (via 25-story tall manned robots). Current box office predictions are relatively soft for the $180 million blockbuster, so there is no guarantee that del Toro and Beacham’s plans to continue exploring the Pacific Rim universe in future installments will come to fruition.
Most of del Toro’s previous films have only demonstrated cult appeal at the box office, which is part of the reason why Hellboy 3 has been set on the back-burner. Today, ...

‘Ray Donovan’ Series Premiere Review – No Lie Lives Forever
30 June 2013 7:55 PM, PDT
The first thing anyone is likely to zero in on while watching Showtime’s new series Ray Donovan is the overabundance of talent the show has at its disposal. With Liev Schreiber, Jon Voight, Paula Malcomson, Eddie Marsan and the great Elliott Gould constantly standing at the ready, it is certainly an attractive show in terms of its potential to deliver powerful performances and memorable characters.
This is the tale of Ray, an East Coast tough guy, who has left behind a troubled past and relocated to Los Angeles with his wife, two kids and damaged siblings in tow, to stir up more trouble (a.k.a. “fix things”) in Hollywood ...
