'X-Men: Days of Future Past': J.Law Gets Nekkid and Blue
15 hours ago
Jennifer Lawrence may be a prestigious, celebrated actress with inestimable talent and potential and yada yada yada, but let's not forget the important fact that she is also one smoking hot babe.
You might even say this girl is on fire, but that'd be too easy a "Hunger Games" punny, then, wouldn't it? So it's a good thing we didn't say it.
J.Law, fresh off a trip to Cannes supporting "Catching Fire," is back to work on the set of "X-Men: Days of Future Past" this week, so director Bryan Singer decided to treat his Twitter fellowship to a glimpse at the scene of her all decked out in blue once more.
In the follow-up to 2011's "X-Men: First Class," Lawrence returns as Raven/Mystique, a woman who's mutant ("and proud").
While a boatload of "X-Men" and "X2" alums have come back to reprise their roles for the new series effort — like Halle Berry, »

Hollywood's 13 Best Commencement Speeches
16 hours ago
Some of us just yawned and obsessed over the ticking of the clock during our far-too-long commencement speeches. Whatever maniac decided that so-and-so's wife's something or other who didn’t even graduate is equipped to send students off with a 30-minute diatribe on themselves is sorely mistaken. Just dole out the degrees already and call a day a day, right, kids? Unless ...
You know, every so often schools are able to wrangle in someone actually interesting to deliver a few notes of wisdom — some more often than others (cough Harvard cough). Even better, once in a while they're our very shiniest movie stars who make lots of funnies and deliver all the feels and suddenly the speeches don't seem so bad.
Here's a tip-o'-the-grad cap to whoever lined up these 13 awesome movie star speeches. Fair warning: This may enhance the bore factor of your regular, non-famous speaker. Sorry 'bout that. »

Peter Jackson Announces Final Round of 'Hobbit' Reshoots Via Selfie
16 hours ago
Well, all good things must come to an end, even in 48 frames-per-second. And Peter Jackson and his cast and crew have reassembled in New Zealand for the last few weeks of reshoots on "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" and "The Hobbit: There and Back Again," the last two entries in his "Hobbit" trilogy that began this past winter with "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."
This is it. The end of Middle Earth and all of the funny wigs contained therein. To celebrate, Jackson updated his Facebook page, complete with a selfie of the director and a particularly worn-looking Ian McKellan (in full-on Galdalf mode). Pretty great way to announce the conclusion of production on a historic film series.
In addition to the photo, Jackson said a few words about the production: "Back on set for our last Hobbit pick ups. Our last ever Tolkien pick ups, in fact. It's »

What Probably Happened After These 9 Movies Ended
18 hours ago
When a movie is so good that it completely pulls you into its universe, it's only natural to wonder what must have happened after the credits rolled.
Thankfully, we've followed some of your favorite movies through to their logical next steps so that when you watch them again on DVD or at their inevitable 3-D re-release, you won't have to waste mental energy asking questions like "Whatever happened to that guy?" and can move on to more important stuff like "What's the meaning of life?" and "Who the hell ate my Girl Scout cookies?"
Check out the illustrated speculations below, courtesy of our pal Old Red Jalopy.
'Die Hard' (1988)
'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (2008)
'The Dark Knight Rises' (2012)
'Face/Off' (1997)
'Terminator 2: Judgment Day' (1991)

Here is Patton Oswalt's Famous 'Star Wars' Filibuster, Animated
18 hours ago
As soon as Patton Oswalt opened his mouth that day of production on "Parks and Recreation," you knew this would happen. So did I. So did your mom. Ask her. I'll wait.
...
See? I told you! This is why the internet's great. That rhymed.
Indeed, some anonymous cartoonist/video editor that you will never know made an animated version of Patton Oswalt's filibuster-inspired plot for "Star Wars: Episode VII," and the magic that existed only in our minds from Oswalt's dramatic narration of the film now exists forever on the internet as an eight-minute video. This is the world we live in now. Think about these types of things the next time you're nostalgic for the past, and boom it's 2013 again.
Even the random shouts from Amy Poehler (as Leslie Knope) made the video as comic book-esque dialogue bubbles that appear out of nowhere over various characters' heads, which is awkward, »

'As Cool As I Am' Trailer: Claire Danes is a Sucky Mom
18 hours ago
In real life, Claire Danes is probably a fantasmically excellent mother. However, her character in this new trailer for "As Cool As I Am" needs a 'lil help.
Fellow junkies of the "My So-Called Life" series — which, seriously, how in the world was that show just one season? — will remember a younger Danes as the sullen Angela Chase, dying her hair (much to her mother's chagrin) and desperately trying to find herself a comfy corner in the universe while hoping above all hope that the hot guitar guy at school might one day pay her just an ounce of attention. Ah, hormones.
Cut back to the present, and Danes is on the receiving end of all that angst ... and deservedly so.
"Cool" features Claire Danes and James Marsden as a former pair who got preggers while still just teenagers. Under the pressure of a shotgun-wielding elder of some sort, no doubt, »

Damon Lindelof Sorry for Alice Eve 'Star Trek' Underoo Scene
19 hours ago
Apart from putting Alice Eve's rockin' abs on full display, what was the point of that skivvy scene in "Star Trek Into Darkness"?
It had to have a point right? 'Cause, you know, they put it in the trailer and used it for their little poster link scavenger hunt thingymajig in addition to including it in the movie and all...
It's a totally debatable issue, considering it's a throwaway cut-away in the film, but even writer-producer Damon Lindelof has decided to cry "uncle" and now admits to regretting the scene in question, nerdy lust points earned notwithstanding.
In a series of tweets yesterday, Lindelof wrote of his acceptance that the scene was "gratuitous" and might be construed as "misogynistic." (However, he also quickly made mention of the fact that there were shirtless Chris Pine scenes in both "Star Trek" movie installments).
Zoe Saldana also had an underwear scene in the first installment, »

New 'Wolverine' Trailer Rocks. Finally.
19 hours ago
Ever have one of those dreams where you're totally macking on this hot mutant, only then it turns out she's dead, mainly because you killed her with your huge metal claws, and then you wake up and it's all some sort of uncomfortable metaphor?
Man, we hate it when that happens. Except when it happens in the new YouTube trailer for "The Wolverine." Then it's totally awesome.
Yes, folks, the July 26 release of the somewhat anticipated new Hugh Jackman superhero epic "The Wolverine" is fast approaching, but 20th Century Fox isn't taking anything for granted. That's why they've put out a new trailer that takes all the teasers we've seen to date and combines them into one uber-clip that finally makes the movie actually look pretty cool.
Which it should. After all, this latest installment in the ongoing "X-Men" franchise takes place after the events of the much maligned 2006 trilogy-capper "X-Men: The Last Stand, »

15 Life Lessons We Learned From 'National Lampoon's Vacation'
20 hours ago
There are few activities more American — and none more excruciating — than a good ol' family road trip across this giant boring country of ours. And the brilliant comedy "National Lampoon's Vacation," which is getting a newfangled 30-year anniversary Blu-ray release this week, sums up those carsick sensations of summer with pitch-perfect gags.
Based on an autobiographical short story in National Lampoon magazine, John Hughes' hilarious screenplay eloquently expresses the universal truth that nothing drives a family apart faster than a long drive together. So with this classic celebrating its 30th anniversary this summer, we're reviewing some life lessons learned by the Griswolds on the holiday road.
Lesson #1: Car Salesmen are Not Always Trustworthy
On rare occasion, an unsavory car dealer will attempt to sell you an automobile not ideal for your personal needs and finances. And all the attributes of that hypothetically ill-suited vehicle come standard in the Wagon Queen Family Truckster. »

Questions and Answers With Luis Guzman
22 hours ago
Perhaps the most prolific and reliable character actor of the last 20 years, Luis Guzman is nothing short of an American treasure. Think of your favorite movie right now — was Luis Guzman in it? There is statistically a 23.9% chance you just said "Yes." That's Luis's career in a nutshell. No one plays the goofy, lovable criminal, sidekick or law enforcement officer better than Guzman, and everyone in Hollywood knows it — that's why he's been in approximately 5,891 movies since 1990.
Guzman recently co-starred in "The Last Stand" with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Johnny Knoxville, where he played a deputy sheriff to Schwarzenegger's head honcho. "The Last Stand" is now available on Blu-ray and DVD.
Luis recently spoke with NextMovie about "The Power of Love," turning down Adam Sandler's private jet, and "Do It."
Congratulations on "The Last Stand." You co-star with Arnold Schwarzenegger — the movie is noteworthy for being his first starring »

Here is a Dog Crying While Watching 'The Lion King'
20 May 2013 2:16 PM, PDT
Above, we have what Sarah MacLachlan has been drearily chanting about for twenty years in between otherwise-happy stuff on your television set — a dog being forced by its owners to watch the saddest scene in Disney movie history, when Simba tries in vain to wake up his deceased father Mufasa in "The Lion King." Needless to say, the dog is upset by the proceedings of the Circle of Life, as we all were once upon a time.
Admittedly, however, we are finding it somewhat difficult to believe this particular dog. Is it really upset? Or did it just notice that a camera was pointed at its face (at the :01 second mark) and put on its best audition face? Fine, Rascal (yes, the dog's name is "Rascal," starting now), you can be in "Air Bud 7." Jeez.
But if those feelings are real, and the dog is, in fact, genuinely (and »

Seth MacFarlane Not Hosting the 2014 Oscars, for Real this Time
20 May 2013 12:41 PM, PDT
Seth MacFarlane has decided not to host the Oscars again ... again.
Last month, 2014 Academy Awards producing duo Craig Zadan and Neil Meron all but begged the "Family Guy" funnyman to come back for another turn on the Oscars stage after he'd already said "no way" to the idea before — it was on Twitter, but it was still a definite answer — and while he has admitted to at least considering a second chance at the job of mocking celebutantes as they collect Hollywood's most elite prizes, it's just not going to happen.
"Traumatized critics exhale: I'm unable to do the Oscars again. Tried to make it work schedule-wise, but I need sleep," he wrote on Twitter today. "However, I highly recommend the job, as Zadan and Meron are two of the most talented producers in the business."
Not one to leave things on too serious a note, he then added, "My »

20 May 2013 12:00 PM, PDT

The 9 Worst Nude Scenes in Movies
20 May 2013 9:00 AM, PDT
Warning: Somewhat Nsfw.
If there's one thing you can count on from "The Hangover Part III," it's that at some point in the film, Zach Galifianakis (and probably Ken Jeong, too) is gonna let it all hang out.
Now, while we respect such a display of uninhibited revelry, it doesn't mean that anybody — and we mean anybody — necessarily wanted to see such a thing. Let's face it (or, rather, let's not) — there are just some people who need to keep their junk in the trunk.
Speaking of which, here are nine nude scenes that made us wanna cover our eyes.
9. Philip Seymour Hoffman, 'Before the Devil Knows You're Dead' (2007)
The opening shot of director Sidney Lumet's last film shows Philip Seymour Hoffman energetically humping Marisa Tomei. Say what you will about the big guy, but he seems a more than capable lover ... not that we needed any visual proof of that. »

Drake Dons Incredibly Fake-Looking Afro, Shoots 'Anchorman 2' Cameo
20 May 2013 8:43 AM, PDT
Will Ferrell's "Anchorman" sequel's subtitle might be "The Legend Continues" but it should probably be re-dubbed "A Series Of Potentially Distracting Cameo Appearances" (although that would be really hard to fit on the marquee). Kanye West, Tina Fey, Kristin Wiig, Nicole Kidman, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Poehler (whom "Anchorman" die hards will remember had a sizable role in the first film, only to see her entire subplot deleted from the final product), Liam Neeson, John C. Reilly, Jim Carrey and Harrison Ford have all shot cameos for the hotly anticipated sequel (also: an animatronic shark).
The latest celebrity to be roped into this cameo feeding frenzy? None other than Canadian rapper Drake.
The hip hop-er and former "Degrassi: The Next Generation" cast member was spotted on the New York midtown location shoot, wearing a ridiculously fake-looking afro, long seventies-era sideburns, a Members Only jacket and a T-shirt embossed by »

James Franco Paints Mural Devoted To 'This Is The End' In Brooklyn
20 May 2013 7:56 AM, PDT
Of course he did.
In the most recent installment of Zach Galifianakis' internet talk show "Between Two Ferns," the comedian asked weirdo superstar James Franco, "Of all the art projects you've done, what has made people roll their eyes the hardest?" And you know what? It was a fair question. Franco has a restless creative spirit that often compels him to do really annoying stuff, like a "mixed media piece" for the Stella Adler studio called "Collage" (it supposedly combined dance, theater, music and poetry), publishing a book of poorly received short stories and hosting the Oscars.
While his latest project might not be quite as obnoxious, it is similarly arty and bizarre. On Saturday he painted a mural dedicated to the co-stars of his new movie "This Is The End." Franco even chose a perfect location for his new piece, one synonymous with arty nonsense: some random wall in Brooklyn. »

The Zombie Rules for Swimming in a Blood Pool
20 May 2013 7:19 AM, PDT
If you're going to have a swimming pool full of blood, there've gotta be a few rules, ya know?
Over in the U.K. (which basically explains everything about this story right off) some weird chaps will be celebrating the release of the latest Resident Evil video game by taking a dip in a pool of blood-colored water.
And attendants won't just be seeing red when this all goes down, either; human torso floats, intestine-shaped lane markers, zombie lifeguards and a "freshly killed human corpse" diving board will also be prepared for the day, and participants can retrieve some vials of anti-virus serum from the bottom and then dry off with blood-spattered towels. Talk about some killer theme commitment.
Capcom's rep explained, "Zombies have been kept very busy lately doing a variety of PR stunts, so rather than do the expected and use them in the campaign for Resident Evil Revelations, »
