Ice Cube's Taking Kevin Hart (and Audiences) on a Hilarious 'Ride Along'
7 hours ago
Buddy action movies rise and fall on the chemistry shared between the leads. Audiences felt Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy had plenty, so The Heat became a weekend smash. The same ticket buyers didn’t buy into Channing Tatum and Jamie Foxx, so White House Down struggled. Ride Along shouldn’t have such problems. Pairing comedian Kevin Hart with tough guy Ice Cube for a buddy-cop comedy looks like a masterstroke, if the teaser trailer for Tim Story’s upcoming film is any indication. The set up is short, sweet and incredibly simple. Hart plays a security guard who’s trying to impress his girlfriend’s brother (Ice Cube). In order to prove himself, he agrees to go on a police-sanctioned Ride Along....

9 hours ago
Every Friday night, Movies.com sends cinephiles (and newlyweds) Sarah and Joe Piccirillo to see a film. Afterwards, they answer a few questions about it. Below is their discussion. The Heat Synopsis: Can by-the-book FBI agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) work with local detective Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) to take down a drug lord? Think Bad Boys meets Bridesmaids. Plus, Joey McIntyre. Was this a good date movie? Joe: After enduring Identity Thief I was dreading this movie, but I was pleasantly surprised. For a date movie, it’s okay – it’s funny and harmless. There’s a lot of estrogen here and that’s either a blessing or a curse. Sarah: It didn’t create a sexy vibe. Despite buckets of...

The clip dropped online this morning. Check it out below: Hughes’ play dates back to 1961, when the traditional Nativity story was updated with gospel songs and carols. This new take, directed by Kasi Lemmons (Eve’s Bayou, The Caveman’s Valentine), will feel like Christmas morning for audiences who love powerful African-American entertainers.
