Tyler Perry's Temptation: Film Review
29 March 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »
Even grading on the curve that inevitably must be applied to the prolific multihyphenate filmmaker’s efforts, Tyler Perry’s Temptation merits an F. This laughable melodrama, subtitled Confessions of a Marriage Counselor, must have seemed over-the-top in its original form as one of his perennially touring stage shows. Onscreen, it somehow manages to be at once wildly overblown and terminally boring. Photos: Tyler Perry's 'Temptation': Kim Kardashian, Usher Step Out for Atlanta Screening A cautionary tale about adultery that makes Reefer Madness seem subtle, it depicts the marital crisis of Judith (Jurnee Smollett-Bell), who works as the “in-

A Weekend With Coffin Joe: Five of the Undertaker's Most Wild and Outrageous Films
22 March 2013 12:00 PM, PDT | FEARnet | See recent FEARnet news »
More than a decade before Freddy Krueger and his knife-hands existed, another sadistic and maniacal monster roamed the cinematic screens in Brazil. Jose Mojica Marins is the writer, director, and actor most commonly known in horror circles as Coffin Joe. Coffin Joe’s legacy all started with At Midnight I’ll Take Your Soul in 1964, the first film in a trilogy of terror-filled tales all starring the man himself. He often addresses the viewer directly in his films, bringing us into the screen and completely immersing us in the horrors of his world. What is truly remarkable about Coffin Joe’s films is threefold: he started making horror and exploitation very early on; he made extremely controversial films in a deeply religious (Catholic) country; and his mode of filmmaking was 100% Diy. Not only did Coffin Joe direct, write, and star in all of his films, but he also handled most »

New 60-Second TV Spot for Jack the Giant Slayer – ‘Know Jack’
26 February 2013 1:30 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Jack the Giant Slayer will be hitting the big screen in the Us this Friday, and all signs suggest Bryan Singer’s latest blockbuster will be racking up big numbers at the box office over the coming weekend.
Warner Bros. have done a strong job of promoting the film in recent months. And Nicholas Hoult’s box office-topping performance in Warm Bodies last month can only have helped pique interest for Jack the Giant Slayer.
We saw a great new TV spot land yesterday, along with a recent new poster. And following them up comes a new 60-second UK TV spot, promising an epic, action-filled blockbuster adventure.

New TV Spot for Jack the Giant Slayer – ‘Giant Adventure’
25 February 2013 11:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Bryan Singer’s Jack the Giant Slayer has just a few more days before it lands on the big screen, and we’re looking forward to seeing how it fares at the Us box office this weekend.
Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class, Warm Bodies) topped the box office in the States last month with the release of Warm Bodies. And I’m hoping he’ll be doing the same thing again with Jack the Giant Slayer, further cementing his status as a rising star with a lead role in a blockbuster of this size.
Warner Bros. have recently released a new trailer along with a new UK poster. And now they’ve debuted the latest TV spot, giving us a look at the epic action we have coming our way very soon.

Bryan Singer (X-Men) returns to the big screen for the first time in five years this weekend, with the release of Jack the Giant Slayer in Us cinemas.
Singer’s anticipated return behind the camera sees him directing rising young star Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class), who take the lead once more after topping the box office last month in Warm Bodies.
We saw a great new trailer for Singer’s and Warner Bros.’ upcoming blockbuster a few weeks ago, and now a new UK poster has debuted, dubbed ‘Escape’, with Hoult front and centre alongside Eleanor Tomlinson.

Bryan Singer (X-Men) returns us to blockbuster territory next month with the release of Jack the Giant Slayer. Giving us an epic big screen take on the classic beanstalk fairy tale, the film promises to be packed with action, and we’re looking forward to its arrival.

Bryan Singer’s Jack the Giant Slayer will be hitting the big screen in just a few weeks’ time, bringing the classic beanstalk tale to life on an epic scale. We’re expecting a new trailer to land later on today, and ahead of its debut, Warner Bros. have released a trailer preview, along with the first clip from the film.
Nicholas Hoult, who topped the Us box office last weekend in Warm Bodies, is set to do the same thing here at the start of next month. Hoult has deservedly been on the rise in recent years, and we’re looking forward to seeing more of him in the years to come.

New TV Spot for Jack the Giant Slayer – ‘Am I Dead?’
6 February 2013 10:00 AM, PST | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Bryan Singer’s blockbuster retelling of the classic beanstalk story hits the big screen in just a few weeks’ time, bringing Jack the Giant Slayer to life in epic proportions.
Rising young star Nicholas Hoult (X-Men: First Class, Warm Bodies) is front and centre here. And after seeing Warm Bodies top the Us box office over the weekend with just shy of $20m., he’s set for a repeat performance with Jack the Giant Slayer at the start of next month, likely with much bigger numbers.
We saw a great new TV spot and the final Us poster surface last week. And now Warner Bros. have released the third TV spot, giving us another great look at the scale of the action here.

Clip joint: The top five 'meet cutes'
23 January 2013 9:36 AM, PST | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
A 'meet cute' is a plot device enabling the first meeting of a film's romantic lead characters. The rest, dear viewer, is history
Each week one reader offers up five of their favourite film clips on a subject of their choosing – and we ask you to tell us what other movie scenes should have been included. This week's is from john Carvill, who previously wrote a clip joint on taking the train.
If you've got an idea for a future clip joint, email adam.boult@guardian.co.uk.
The 'meet cute' is Hollywood screenwriters' name for a standard plot device in which a couple meet in a way that's charming, ironic, or just generally amusing.
Golden age film-makers such as Billy Wilder used to stockpile ideas for meet cutes, and Wilder was sufficiently adept at dreaming them up that he talked his way out of studio objections to his idea »

Bryan Singer (X-Men) returns to the big screen this spring in familiar blockbuster territory, bringing us Jack the Giant Slayer, promising to be every bit the epic action movie its title conjures up.
