Jason Reitman’s First Kiss in Kindergarten Cop

»
Before the Best Director nomination, before Up in the Air, Juno, Thank You For Smoking and even his wonderful short films, director Jason Reitman appeared as an "actor" in a bunch of films. In the 1980's and 1990's, Jason's father, director Ivan Reitman, gave him small cameo roles in some of his movies. Jason played Granger Grandson in Twins, Brownstone Boy #2 in Ghostbusters II, the Vice-President's son in Dave, the Wrong Kid in Alley in Father's Day, and most importantly Kissing Boy in Kindergarten Cop.
InContention has dug up the tape of Reitman's appearance in the 1990 Schwarzenegger comedy and put it online for all to see. In the scene, Arnold's character Detective John Kimble is searching the school hallways, when he bursts into an abandoned class room, interrupting two youngsters making out.
This was Jason Reitman's first kiss. Not just his first on screen kiss... but his first kiss with a girl,

Stars in Rewind: Jason Reitman's First Kiss

Blogger Kristopher Tapley, of the movie awards site In Contention, shares a humorous video spotlighting one of this year's Oscar hopefuls, Jason Reitman. The young filmmaker, who already received an Academy Award nomination for directing Juno, is a front-runner this year for helming Up in the Air, which opens in limited release next week and opens nationwide on Christmas.
Before he was a success behind the camera, though, he was simply the son of Hollywood director Ivan Reitman. And like many filmmakers' kids, he was employed in minor roles in his father's films, including Ghostbusters II, Twins and Dave. The funniest of his cameos is in this make-out scene from Kindergarten Cop, mainly because it's his most embarrassing.

As if you didn't already have enough good reasons to watch Weezer's brand-new "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To" video — The spooky doppelgängers! The wanton violence! The girl who was in "Kindergarten Cop"! — well, we've got another one for you: Hot Weezer-on-Weezer reproduction.
That's right, "I Want You To" features the guys in Weezer makin' babies, presumably with each other, since the video is set in a town — called Weezerville — where every man, woman and child is a member of the band. Confused? Turned on? Both? Here's director Marc Webb to explain.
"The idea of the video is really simple: It's a town that's made up of clones of Weezer. There are multiple versions of

Over the years, the town of Piru, California, has stood in for countless frontier towns — Hazzard County, Georgia, and Bon Temps, Louisiana (a.k.a. the hunting grounds of Sookie Stackhouse's vampire friends on "True Blood"), for example — in movies and TV shows, but it's never been transformed into anything quite like this.
Earlier this week, Weezer and director Marc Webb, who's helmed clips for Green Day, My Chemical Romance and the All-American Rejects, not to mention this year's indie-riffic feature "(500) Days of Summer", invaded Piru to shoot a video for "(If You're Wondering If I Want

Robert Pattinson and Jack Black are voted top teachers

As students everywhere begin to go back to schools, colleges and universities it seems everyone’s talking about teachers. You know, those inspiring adults we look up to in stuffy classrooms to teach us what we need to know. This week two separate polls have looked at the idea of celebrity teachers and found the best of the bunch. Coming in top as the best movie teacher is Jack Black for his role in The School of Rock, and unsurprisingly Robert Pattinson has come top in a poll of student’s fantasy teachers.
Lovefilm asked 2000 of its members to vote on the best teacher in film and Jack Blacks Dewey Finn, or Mr. S, from The School of Rock came top of the class with 16 percent of the votes. Following closely behind is Robin Williams for his portrayal of John Keating in The Dead Poets Society, and third is Harrison Ford

Happy Birthday, Mr. Governator: Celebrating Arnold Schwarzenegger

| MTV Movies Blog

Before Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger presided over the state of California, he was an actor. If you're old enough to read this, then you probably know that. After all, Schwarzenegger wasn't just an actor... he was The actor. The one-time Mr. Universe spent much of the '80s and '90s as Hollywood's go-to action hero. He never quite managed to shake the thick Austrian accent, but that was in many ways part of the charm.
Today is Governor Schwarzenegger's birthday. He turns 62 and looks pretty much like you would expect a 62-year-old former Mr. Universe and former action star to look: fit as a fiddle. In honor of the Governator's special day, I'd like to take a moment to look back at some of the significant things he left us with before turning his attention from acting to politics.

Astro Boy Trailer Blasts Off

The first Astro Boy trailer is already out, but we at Screen Rant never posted it because apparently I’m the only Astro Boy enthusiast on staff, and I didn’t know the trailer was out until yesterday. No matter though, for those of you who have been curious about how the CGI adaptation of Astro Boy is shaping up, I have the trailer solely for your viewing pleasure.
Ok, so a few things to talk about. First, the animation is pretty good! Certainly not better than say, the trailer for Pixar’s Up (which blew me away), but pretty good.
And ok, maybe this trailer doesn’t give you all the robot-on-robot smackdown action we’ve been promised Astro Boy is going to deliver, but it does a good job of showing you who the loveable main character is (Astro Boy), what he’s all about (roboting it up

[DVD Review] Kung-Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five

If this were a truly honest world, this companion release to DreamWorks' latest rip-roaring animated hit would be titled Cash-In Panda: Slightly Cheaper Than a Babysitter. At a mere twenty-four minute minutes padded by some paper thin extras, serious questions must surely be raised as to why this supplemental tosh wasn't simply included with the original feature.
Borrowing a little bit from Ah-nuld abomination Kindergarten Cop, Kung-Fu Panda: Secrets of the Furious Five finds the world's most lethargic martial artist, Po (voiced by Jack Black) tasked by Myagi stand-in Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) to serve as teacher to a class of tiny tot bunnies. Terrified and overwhelmed, Po snaps the little buggers to attention and has them sit Indian style while he regales them with origin stories for the Furious Five, with each one serving as something of an Aesop's fable to the nippers.

Do You Want To See A Total Recall Remake? -- Too bad, looks like Columbia is making it anyway
25 February 2009
| Collider.com
| See recent Collider.com news
»
I’m gonna leap right in here and tell you that Columbia is planning to remake the 1990 Schwarzenegger classic “Total Recall”. Perhaps the studio was envious of the buzz around “Terminator: Salvation” and figured the time was right to start raping Arnold’s entire film vault – to which I ask, “couldn’t they have started with ‘Kindergarten Cop’”? I feel it’s a little late in the game to start harping on about how Hollywood is making too many remakes – that’s what message boards are for. The sad truth is that remakes are safe bets for studios which routinely lose money when they try to create something brand new. Horror purists may not have liked the idea that there would be a new version of “Friday the 13th” but they couldn’t argue with the numbers. The “Friday” reboot took in over $40 million in one weekend. But my tolerance

Odette Yustman Exclusive Video Interview – The Unborn -- The beautiful star of Unborn talks about Kindergarten Cop (her first acting job) and the crazy stuff she had to do on this film
6 January 2009
| Collider.com
| See recent Collider.com news
»
Opening this Friday is “The Unborn” and it’s written and directed by David Goyer (“Blade: Trinity”, “The Invisible”, co writer of “The Dark Knight”). The movie is a supernatural thriller that follows a young woman pulled into a world of nightmares when a demonic spirit haunts her and threatens everyone she loves. Odette Yustman ("Cloverfield") stars as the woman and Cam Gigandet (Twilight) plays her boyfriend. Here’s the synopsis: Sometimes the soul of a dead person has been so tainted with evil that it is denied entrance to heaven. It must endlessly wander the borderlands between worlds, desperately searching for a new body to inhabit. And sometimes it actually succeeds. Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman) hated her mother for leaving her as a child. But when inexplicable things start to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left.
