Competition: Win Woody Harrelson’s ‘Loser’ on DVD
28 April 2012 11:18 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Zak Penn, writer of The Incredible Hulk (2008) and X–Men: The Last Stand takes the director’s chair for the outrageously funny Loser. Woody Harrelson (Zombieland, Rampart) heads up an all-star cast including; comedian David Cross (Arrested Development), Dennis Farina (Get Shorty), Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Richard Kind (Toy Story 3), Chris Parnell (Anchorman), Jason Alexander (Seinfeld), Ray Romano (Everybody Loves Raymond) and legendary director Werner Herzog (Nosferatu).
Woody Harrelson is One-Eyed Jack Faro, a not-quite-fully-rehabbed gambler, party monster, and serial marry-er hoping to save his late grandfather’s hotel-casino by winning $10 million cash at The Grand Championship of Poker. But first he’ll have to beat a Vegas field of geeks, gurus, online amateurs, greedy developers, ruthless housewives, old-school pros and more of the top players in the world for the largest prize in poker history. Mike Epps, Judy Greer, Gabe Kaplan, Michael McKean, Phil Gordon and Doyle Brunson »

The Three Stooges – The Review
12 April 2012 9:35 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
Every decade or so, one or two film makers become a major force in cinema comedies. The 1980′s saw the influence of Zaz (Aka Jerry Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and David Zucker) starting with Airplane! and Ruthless People . For the last ten years or so Judd Apatow (40-year Old Virgin) and Todd Phillips (Old School) have ruled the comedy roost. In between there’s the Farrelly brothers (Peter and Bobby), former sitcom writers who invaded the multiplexes with the big box office laugh fests Dumb And Dumber and There’S Something About Mary (which opened the gates for the return of the R-rated movie comedy). When interviewed during their salad days, the guys related their affection for a decades old comedy team and vowed to bring them back to the big screen (they even appeared on a tribute NBC-tv special hosted by their Kingpin star Woody Harrelson).

Peter Farrelly, 'The Three Stooges' Director, On What We'll See in 'Dumb & Dumber 2'
12 April 2012 1:17 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Peter Farrelly admits that he and his brother, Bobby, never get their first choice when it comes to lead actors. Put it this way: Could you imagine "Dumb & Dumber" with either Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Martin Short as either Harry or Lloyd? If the Farrelly brothers had gotten their way, that would have been a much different movie, and a much different "Dumb & Dumber" sequel would be shooting this fall. (Yes, we talk extensively about that.)
The same thing happened with the Farrellys' new film, "The Three Stooges." Famously, the original cast was supposed to include Jim Carrey, Sean Penn and Benicio del Toro as Curly, Larry and Moe, respectively. Here, Peter Farrelly discusses, in depth, why that lineup didn't work out, why it was all for the best, and what lies ahead for Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne in "Dumb & Dumber 2."

Interview: The Three Stooges director Peter Farrelly
11 April 2012 5:41 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »
The Farrelly Brothers have been synonymous with comedy ever since their surprise hit Dumb And Dumber. From the absurd to the crude, the brothers have created such films as There's Something About Mary, Kingpin and the recent Hall Pass. And finally, they are able to pay tribute to the legendary The Three Stooges in a way that only Peter and Bobby could. It is always terrific to talk to Peter Farrelly. He is a super cool, laid back dude with a wild sense of humor. We talked about how he has »

Fat suits, eye pokes and being Moe: Three Stooges star talks dream role
10 April 2012 8:09 AM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »
Toronto-born actor Chris Diamantopoulos is a big fan of the Three Stooges. A very big fan.
Despite a studio memo that went out asking actors not to come dressed in character when auditioning for the Farrelly Brothers' take on the three hapless vaudeville buffoons, Diamantopoulos was desperate to leave an impression. After all, this was a role he felt he was meant to play. So he did what any Stooges devotee would: he went full Moe.
"I showed up and there were 70 dudes in jeans and t-shirts and there was me, with my wig askew, bad pancake makeup, homemade fat suit saying, 'Alright, let me at 'em'. They thought I was a lunatic. I'm not even kidding. They almost kicked me out of the room."
Far from having him removed, after close to a dozen meetings and auditions, he was offered the role of the Stooges ringleader, bopping heads and »

Interview: Peter Farrelly Talks The Three Stooges & Jersey Shore
10 April 2012 8:03 AM, PDT | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »
Writer/directors Peter and Bobby Farrelly achieve a life long dream of bringing their favorite childhood show "The Three Stooges" to the big screen this weekend and CineMovie caught up with half of the funny duo Peter Farrelly to talk about the hardship of adapting such a revered show and characters into a modern comedy.
The directors behind Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, and There's Something About Mary tell CineMovie they didn't want to reinvent The Three Stooges but honor them with an homage to the characters. At one point, Sean Pean and Jim Carrey were rumored to be interested as the Stooges but Peter reveals early contenders were more inclined to to create their own versions of Moe, Larry, and Curly which the Farrelly Brothers were not looking to do. They eventually went with familiar faces

Don't Watch: A New 'Jackass' Inspired Trailer for 'The Three Stooges'
21 March 2012 10:25 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
While audiences shouldn't be expecting anything but stupid slapstick humor from the long gestating big screen take on The Three Stooges from Bobby and Peter Farrelly, the once great comedic minds behind Dumb & Dumber and There's Something About Mary, there's just something that doesn't feel right about the flick. The teaser didn't impress us, and now a new trailer, taking cues from those modern day stooges from Jackass doesn't change our minds. It just seems like this has missed the boat as the face of comedy has changed dramatically. Prat falls and hard hits are funny, but in the age of YouTube, only if they are real. Here's the second official trailer for Bobby & Peter Farrelly's The Three Stooges, originally from Yahoo: The Three Stooges is written & directed by filmmaking brothers Bobby & Peter Farrelly, of the comedies including Dumb & Dumber, Kingpin, There's Something About Mary, Shallow Hal, »

Woody Harrelson’s 9 Best Movie Roles
21 March 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
For over 25 years, Woody Harrelson has entertained us with a wide array of characters ranging from psychopaths to lovable losers. This year alone we've seen him in two very different parts: a wickedly corrupt L.A. cop in "Rampart" and a Republican party strategist in "Game Change." His latest role -- sure to be one of his more colorful -- is Haymitch Abernathy, the drunken mentor of Katniss in "The Hunger Games."
To celebrate his versatility, we look back at Harrelson’s nine best performances in what has become an impressive career.
9. 'A Scanner Darkly' (2006)
"The Hunger Games" isn’t the first time Harrelson has worked with existing material. In Richard Linklater’s adaptation of the classic Philip K. Dick sci-fi thriller, Harrelson plays Ernie Luckman, the mellow yet extremely paranoid member of a group of drug addicts that have an undercover cop in their midst. Starring opposite Robert Downey Jr., »

'Hunger Games' Playlist: Five Movies To See First
19 March 2012 6:00 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
by Joel Hanek
Until very recently, I hadn't paid much attention to "The Hunger Games" and all of the surrounding hullabaloo, dismissing it because I thought that I wasn't the right demographic or perhaps I was too old to get into it (to give you a hint of how old I am, I just used the word "hullabaloo"). Recently I picked up the first book, read it cover to cover in just a few days, and now I must admit: I am a fan. Depressing futuristic dystopias, cynicism of the media and how it’s consumed, and children murdering other children – what’s not to like?
Since the film adaptation doesn’t come out until Friday (March 23), here are some movies that share some similarities with Suzanne Collins’ hallmark franchise to whet your appetite. Consider them cinematic amuse-bouches.
1. "Battle Royale" (2000)
In "Battle Royale," fascist rulers punish teenagers by sending them »

105 movie sequels currently in the works
15 March 2012 2:59 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Hollywood loves its sequels, and we’ve got the proof here. Meet the 105 sequels at various stages of production, and a further 17 that seem to have died.
It’s been nearly five years since we started doing our annual round-ups of the current movie sequels that are in the works, and this year marks the longest list of all. Furthermore, what the 105 we've rounded up here doesn’t include are the projects that we suspect might have been lost to development hell, which we’ve detailed down at the bottom. Hollywood does love its follow-ups.
The projects that we do talk about here each have some chance of happening, and we’ve done a release date cut off of films due after October 2012 at the earliest. Thus, this summer’s collection of sequels – including The Dark Knight Rises, Madagascar 3, Ice Age 4, G.I. Joe 2, The Expendables 2, American Pie: The Reunion, »
The 35 Best Movie Cameos of All Time
14 March 2012 11:00 AM, PDT | NextMovie | See recent NextMovie news »
It took a lot of begging and pleading from both producers and the public, but for whatever reason Johnny Depp saw it in his heart to return in one knockout scene in the new film version of "21 Jump Street," based on the hit Fox TV show that made him a star.
To put him in the ranks of some of the greatest movie cameos ever, we're counting down 35 surprise appearances in movies that pleased and shocked us -- and left us wanting more.
35. Jim Parsons, 'The Muppets' (2011)
Walter (Peter Linz) has to decide if he's "Man or Muppet," but during this solemn ballad he sees his human form in the mirror courtesy of the "Big Bang Theory" star. Although it was tunesmith Bret McKenzie who wrote the song, we think that a small chunk of that Academy Award for Best Song should go to Parsons for embodying the »

6 February 2012 10:00 AM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here are 11 fun Super Bowl commercials to watch for those of you who didn't watch the big game yesterday or that you may have missed while watching it. These don't include any of the Super Bowl trailers or any of the previous commercials we've posted. Check them out and tell us what you think!
I'll start you off with one of my favorite commercials that wasn't a movie trailer. It's for Chevy Silverado - End of the World, which was directed by Noam Murro (Smart People, 300: Battle of Artemisia)
Murro also directed the following three ads as well:
Pepsi - King's Court
Chevy Sonic - Stunt Anthem
Kia - Dream Car
This is another one of my favorites. It's a Met Life commercial featuring some of our favorite classic cartoon characters.
