‘Parental Guidance’ Review
21 May 2013 12:45 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Billy Crystal, Bette Midler, Marisa Tomei, Tom Everett Scott, Bailee Madison, Gedde Watanabe | Written by Lisa Addario, Joe Syracuse | Directed by Andy Fickman
The family comedy with a moral message has been a staple of Hollywood for eons. They have also been a go-to for filmmakers looking to fill cinemas with a family audience, because we all know that the wider the demographic the more box-office right? Wrong. Some of Hollywood’s most recent family comedies have under-performed both critically and commercially. Remember Little Fockers? I do (although I wish I didn’t). That film was enough to put you off watching these types of comedies for life. That being said, the trailer for Parental Guidance actually had me in stitches – not enough to make me want to see the film in the cinema admittedly, but now it’s hitting DVD and Blu-ray I decided it was time to »

New Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Set Videos With Megan Fox & Alan Ritchson
20 May 2013 3:27 PM, PDT | ComicBookMovie.com | See recent ComicBookMovie news »
The Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been filming all over the New York City area. A week ago in Chinatown they shot scenes of people running for their lives from a subway station. Today, a video has surfaced from that scene and it includes April O'Neil (Megan Fox) slowly creeping into the frame. One might speculate that the people were frightened of a large-assed turtle walking and talking, but that is just a logical guess. As for today, Raphael (Alan Ritchson) blended in with New Yorkers by walking around Times Square as though he was man in a Turtle suit. He even posed for a photo with a curious little boy. Ninja Turtles will be directed by Jonathan Liebesman ("Wrath of the Titans"), and produced by Michael Bay ("The Rock"). The script was written by Josh Appelbaum and André Nemec, based on characters created by Kevin Eastman »
Fast & Furious 6 Review
14 May 2013 1:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
Like the characters in the franchise, director Justin Lin reassembles his trustworthy team of writers Chris Morgan and Gary Scott Thompson to pen another episode of the adrenaline-pumping, big-action smashing and testosterone-dripping Fast & Furious mayhem that throws reality and caution to the wind in Version 6. Rio’s favelas played host last time in 2011 and got royally destroyed.
This time it’s London’s city skyline and tourist spots’ turn in 2013, completely farcical for supposed high-speed car chases, considering the usual gridlock on the capital’s roads, whatever the hour and especially around Piccadilly Circus, but utterly enthralling once you’ve suspended total disbelief. Maybe it’s the arresting sight of the ever-increasing muscle mass of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson who reappears as beefcake lawman Luke Hobbs, or Vin Diesel’s ever-loyal, brooding and likeable Dominic Toretto’s vow to find out the truth behind lover Letty’s (Michelle Rodriguez) death »

Pre-cgi Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Scream For Help In 2 New Amazing Set Videos

Thanks to anthonya911 for being alert enough to grab some footage of the Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Now, we finally can actually see the scene that was being filmed, as the Foot Clan corral three of the four Turtles: Michelangelo (Noel Fisher), Leonardo (Pete Ploszek), and Donatello (Jeremy Howard) into a container attached to a Humvee. Of course there was no sighting of Rapheal (Alan Ritchson), because like always he will probably come to their rescue. Gotta love a good cliche! Yawn.

Bounce Baby, Bounce! Megan Fox Filming Scene For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Hey, a bit of good news for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans as April O'Neil will be a television reporter for Channel 6 News in the Michael Bay-produced reboot. Okay, that's a step in the right direction. As you can see in the Daily Mail images below director Jonathan Liebesman has decided to take advantage of Megan Fox's sex appeal, much like Michael Bay did in Transformers and have the actress bounce on a trampoline. Although in his defense, Megan Fox could make opening a pickle jar look sexy. We also get our first look at actor Will Arnett, who was seen handling the camera. Thus, he is playing April's cameraman.

‘Pain and Gain': Someone Stole Sex Toys From the Set of Michael Bay's New Movie
2 May 2013 10:15 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »
Michael Bay's “Pain and Gain,” as we noted in our review, is totally nuts. It's about as extreme as that kind of movie can be -- full of violent shenanigans and ‘roided-out bodybuilders. But the craziest thing to happen on the set of “Pain and Gain,” according to Bay, didn't involve explosions or Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's giant biceps. It involved, um, personal pleasure devices. In an interview about the movie, Bay explained that some of the sex toys, meant as set decoration (since the criminals, led by Mark Wahlberg, hide out in a warehouse formerly used for the distribution of sex toys), mysteriously went missing. “We bought $75,000 worth of sex toys to stock the sex-toy warehouse. I could have filmed the crew coming in that day because they'd stop and see these things -- anatomically correct vajayjays and this butt (everyone would touch the butt because it felt »

Interview: John C. McGinley Channels Red Barber in ‘42’
30 April 2013 5:45 AM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – John C. McGinley will probably always be known for the classic TV character Dr. Perry Cox on the long-running “Scrubs.” But through his character actor career, he has taken on a variety of roles, including the portrayal of Red Barber, the play-by-play man for the Brooklyn Dodgers in the recent film “42.”
McGinley plays an integral part in that Jackie Robinson story, as Red Barber was the man announcing the history as it happened in 1947, the year that Robinson broke the color line in baseball. McGinley took meticulous care in recreating “The Ol’ Redhead” (as Barber was nicknamed), inflecting the character with a perfect imitation of the announcer’s unique style, which was both nostalgic and in the present context of the Robinson story.

'Iron Man 3' Lights It Up At The Foreign Box Office
29 April 2013 6:40 AM, PDT | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »
From MTV News
"Iron Man 3" is already a hit film, and it hasn't shown on a single screen for U.S. audiences yet. That's because Marvel's follow-up to their mega-hit, "The Avengers," opened early in dozens of foreign markets this past weekend and took in $195 million. To put that sum into perspective, "The Avengers" had only made $185 at this point last year.
Back in this country, however, things were much slower with the top grossing film of the weekend, Michael Bay's "Pain & Gain," only taking in $20 million. The crime comedy starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson eked out a victory over last week's champ, "Oblivion," which added $17 million to it domestic total.
Next weekend is when the sparks begin to fly. That's when "Iron Man 3" hits the U.S. "The Avengers" took in $209 million in its opening weekend, so we'll have to wait and see »

Pain & Gain review

Review Ron Hogan 29 Apr 2013 - 06:44
Michael Bay goes back to smaller movies with Pain & Gain, starring Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. Review here...
Daniel Lugo (Mark Wahlberg) is a guy with simple dreams. One of these dreams is to maximise his body's potential via weightlifting and training. The other is to be filthy, stinking rich. To that end, after spending time in prison after running an investment scam, Lugo's first legitimate post-prison job is at Sun Gym, where he turns the struggling gym of John Mese (Rob Corddry) into a weightlifting mecca with free body waxing and free memberships for strippers.
Turning a gym around is all well and good, but that's not enough for Lugo and his friend Adrian Doorbal (Anthony Mackie), a fellow bodybuilder who is feeling the repercussions of years of steroid abuse. To treat his erectile dysfunction, he needs money. Lugo needs money, too. Fortunately, »

Box Office: Wahlberg's 'Pain and Gain' Tops With $20 Million Flex
28 April 2013 5:43 PM, PDT | Filmology | See recent Filmology news »
I don’t know a living soul who would pass up the chance to watch Mark Wahlberg take shirtless Instagram selfies while robbing banks for two straight hours. Straight men idolize him, women and gay men want to sex him, and I’m sure there are a bunch of New England lesbians who want to pound beers with him. With Dwayne "Is He Still Calling Himself The Rock?" Johnson added to the the mix, the Michael Bay-directed Pain and Gain topping this weekend’s box office was light work. It may have slightly underperformed by only just meeting the $20 million broadcast (personally, the possibility of shattering that number was wholly possible if you ask this observer), but it will easily match its $26 million budget in the next week and stealthily knocked off Tom Cruise’s Oblivion, which saw a stunning second-week drop to just $17 million from its $37 million opening. »

Weekend Report: 'Pain' Gains First, 'Iron Man 3' Scores $198.4M Overseas
28 April 2013 12:23 PM, PDT | Box Office Mojo | See recent BoxOfficeMojo.com news »
At the domestic box office this weekend, Pain and Gain claimed the top spot with a decent $20.2 million, while The Big Wedding was a big flop. The real story, though, was the overseas box office, where Iron Man 3 opened a week early. Playing in 79 percent of foreign markets, the Marvel three-quel grossed $198.4 million, which is up on The Avengers's $185 million start at the same time last year. For a full by-territory breakdown and thoughts on the movie's long-term prospects, check out the Around-the-World Roundup at the bottom of this article.With Iron Man 3 still a week away in the U.S., Pain and Gain was able to narrowly beat Oblivion to take first place at the domestic box office. Playing at 3,277 locations, the movie's $20.2 million debut is one of the lower starts in director Michael Bay's career, though all of his movies (with the exception of 1995's »

Box office report: 'Pain & Gain' leads slow weekend with $20 million; 'Iron Man 3' earns $195 million overseas
28 April 2013 11:37 AM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »
In the final weekend before Iron Man 3 kicks off the summer movie season in earnest, Michael Bay’s R-rated action comedy Pain & Gain topped a slow weekend at the box office with $20 million from 3,277 theaters, giving it an average of $6,103 per location. The Paramount film achieved only a fraction of the opening weekend grosses of Bay’s Transformers films, but it only cost a fraction — just $26 million — of those films as well. It’s well on its way to profitability.
Pain & Gain, which stars Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, redeemed both stars following unimpressive box office results »
