FX sets launch date for new thriller 'The Bridge'

23 May 2013 2:23 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

FX is ready to cross "The Bridge."

The cable network has announced Thursday (May 23) that its newest original drama series will premiere on Wednesday, July 10 at 10 p.m. Et. "The Bridge" is a present-day crime thriller that explores the tensions on the Us-Mexico border, starring Diane Kruger ("Inglorious Basterds") and Demian Bichir ("Weeds").

When an American judge known for her anti-immigration views is found dead on the bridge connecting El Paso and Juarez, Sonya Cross (Kruger) from El Paso Pd must work with her Mexican counterpart from Chihuahua State Police, Marco Ruiz (Bichir), to catch a serial killer operating on both sides of the border. The case quickly pulls the charming and cunning Marco and strict, off-putting Sonya into a string of murders on the border, a scene already consumed by illegal immigration, drug trafficking, violence and prostitution.

Co-starring Ted Levine ("Monk"), Annabeth Gish ("Pretty Little Liars") and Thomas M. Wright »

'We Are Men' In 4 Words

18 May 2013 1:20 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

"We Are Men" on CBS is bringing Tony Shalhoub back to TV. The "Monk" star appears opposite Kal Penn, Jerry O'Connell and Chris Smith in the new comedy about four divorced men living in a short-term housing complex trying -- and often failing -- at finding new love.

Since the show is about four friends, The Huffington Post asked the four stars to describe their new show in four words.

Jerry O'Connell: "We are divorced men."

Tony Shalhoub: "Not good at committed relationships." [Technically it's five words, but he won three Emmys for "Monk," so it's excusable.]

Chris Smith: "Good guys, bad ideas."

Kal Penn: "Friendship, love, mistakes, ridiculousness."

This is Shalhoub's first series since "Monk" ended in 2009. " He picked "We Are Men" for a particular reason. "Well, CBS pays the most of all the networks," he joked.

O'Connell said the show has a great message. "It's a comedy and it does make fun of being recently divorced, but it's got a great message. »

Here Are the New CBS Comedies

15 May 2013 3:51 PM, PDT | Vulture | See recent Vulture news »

Will CBS make you laugh this year? Well, they'll certainly try. Beware: instead of regular previews, they've decided to just post these behind-the-scenes promos. So, take what you get. First up, Sarah Michelle Gellar and Robin Williams are paired up as  father-daughter advertising executives in The Crazy Ones, a David E. Kelley joint.We Are Men, a comedy featuring Kal Penn, Tony Shalhoub, and Jerry O'Connell airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. and is about a bunch of bros living together in a short-term apartment complex. Adrian Monk would not approve. Executive Producer Chuck Lorre's Mom stars Anna Faris and Allison Janney as a mother-daughter duo who are both recovering alcoholics. So like Gilmore Girls, but with super dysfunction. Nate Corddry and French Stewart(!) are also there, hanging out. »

Will Steve Carell finally win Emmy for guesting on 'The Office' finale?

10 May 2013 5:33 AM, PDT | Gold Derby | See recent Gold Derby news »

Despite denials from producers and Steve Carell himself, the one-time star of "The Office," will be returning for an appearance in the upcoming series finale. The long-running laffer signs off with a super-sized 75-minute finale on May 16. Carell contended six consecutive times in the Comedy Actor category for his portrayal of the now-iconic Michael Scott, the rude, yet sensitive, often inappropriate regional manager of the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin paper company. He went home empty-handed every year, losing first to Tony Shalhoub ("Monk") in 2006, then in the ultimate irony to "Office" creator Ricky Gervais ("Extras") in 2007 before being bested by a pair of back-to-back champs -- Alec Baldwin ("30 Rock"; 2008, 2009) and Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory"; 2010, 2011). But could Carell now prevail in the Comedy Guest Actor race? After all, guesting proved to be th »

Tony Shalhoub on Acting: ‘I don’t judge my characters’

1 May 2013 10:10 PM, PDT | CineMovie | See recent CineMovie news »

Tony plays an unlikeable victim in Michael Bay’s Pain & Gain, but the actor doesn’t see himself as a ‘bad guy’ since he never judges his characters. The actor also reveals whether a Monk movie is in his near future.

Tony Shalhoub is best known for his role as Monk, the television series that ran for eight years (2002-2009) on USA. For a much different role in Pain & Gain, Tony takes on a rare role in which he plays the real life victim of the Miami Sun Gym gang who was kidnapped, tortured, extorted of all his wealth and survived three attempts on his life. He can easily be called the victim, but he’s far from being an upstanding citizen. As Victor Kershaw, the self-made millionaire (from questionable deals) is arrogant and mean-spirited. Most audience have little sympathy for

Exclusive: New Clip from 21 and Over – ‘You Look Like Jason Gordon-Levitts’

1 May 2013 2:15 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Having already seen its Stateside release back in March, 21 and Over is finally arriving on our shores this weekend here in the UK.

The comedy marks the directorial debuts of Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the writing duo behind The Hangover and The Change-Up. And with its UK release date fast approaching this Friday, we’ve got an exclusive clip to share from the film, teasing the comedic chemistry between the young leading trio.

Straight-a college student Jeff Chang has always done what’s expected of him. But when his two best friends Casey and Miller surprise him with a visit for his 21st birthday, he decides to do the unexpected for a change, even though his critical medical school interview is early the next morning. What was supposed to be one beer becomes one night of chaos, over indulgence and utter debauchery in this outrageous comedy.

‘Pain & Gain’ Preview Clip Showcases an Incompetent Kidnapping

10 April 2013 2:04 PM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

After working primarily in science fiction for over five years, director Michael Bay will soon be returning to the genre that initially launched him into feature filmmaking, with the R-rated action-comedy, Pain & Gain. In the film’s (very loosely adapted) true-life story, down-and-out bodybuilder Daniel Lugo concocts a scheme to kidnap a rich, unscrupulous member of his gym. Unfortunately, Daniel and his accomplices are rank amateurs when it comes to criminality, and their plan starts going sour almost from its opening moments.

Bay oversees a cast headlined by Mark Wahlberg (Ted), Dwayne Johnson (G.I. Joe: Retaliation), Anthony Mackie (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), and Tony Shalhoub (Monk). He works from a script by Christopher Markus (Thor: The Dark World) and Stephen McFeely (Captain America: The First Avenger).

Real-Life VIctims Furious At 'Pain & Gain'

4 April 2013 5:01 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

Miami — The real-life murder, torture and kidnapping case from South Florida that's behind the coming movie "Pain & Gain" indeed reads like a script – just not a funny one.

The fact that the film, starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, is an action-comedy has angered survivors of the Sun Gym gang's crimes and those who investigated them nearly two decades ago.

"You are talking about real people. And in this particular case, especially when you're talking about the murder victims, these were innocent victims," retired Miami-Dade Police Sgt. Felix Jimenez said.

Zsuzsanna Griga told The Miami Herald that the movie's depiction of the gang as sympathetic bumblers just trying to get ahead is "ridiculous." Her brother and his girlfriend were murdered and dismembered by them.

"It's horrible what happened to them," said Griga, who lives in Hungary. She could not be reached by The Associated Press. "I don't want »

New red band trailer for Michael Bay's Pain & Gain

28 March 2013 12:32 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Before he turns his attention back to the Autobots and Decepticons for Transformers 4, Michael Bay is set to release his "dream project" this spring, the crime caper Pain & Gain starring Mark Wahlberg (The Fighter, Ted) and Dwayne Johnson (Fast & Furious 6, G.I. Joe: Retaliation) as two knucklehead bodybuilders who find themselves embroiled in a kidnapping scheme.

Ahead of its arrival in the States next month, Paramount Pictures has released three new images and a red band trailer for the film, which also stars Ed Harris (Man on a Ledge), Anthony Mackie (Gangster Squad), Rebel Wilson (Pitch Perfect), Ken Jeong (The Hangover), Tony Shalhoub (Monk), Rob Corddry (Hot Tub Time Machine) and wrestling star Kurt Angle (Warrior).

Mama (2013) Review

27 March 2013 9:04 PM, PDT | MoreHorror | See recent MoreHorror news »

Reviewed by Jesse Miller, MoreHorror.com

Anything that has a “Guillermo Del Toro Presents…” tag above a film, be it horror or otherwise, I know I can get excited about because that man just has an eye for some bizarre and refreshingly original content and he hasn’t let me down yet.

Mama comes from the twisted minds of Andrés Muschietti and Bárbara Muschietti and is the result of Guillermo Del Toro discovering their 2008 short film Mamá and being so impressed by it that he helped the duo develop a feature film around the concept with bigger toys to play with in the sandbox.

I could begin this sentence by going into the plot and setting up the storyline for you all, but Mama is one of those horror films where you are best going into blind and discovering plot details for yourself and even beginning to describe how this »

'Pain and Gain' Red-Band Trailer: Big Muscles, Fast Cars, and Amputated Toes

27 March 2013 6:36 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

You know things are going to go badly when someone says, "I've watched a lot of movies; I know what I'm doing!" And that's just what happens in the red-band trailer for "Pain and Gain," the upcoming caper comedy from Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay has turned a true crime story about bodybuilders who want to get rich quick by ripping off a local criminal into a small-budget (for Bay, anyway) movie. Here, Anthony Mackie, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Mark Wahlberg star as the trio of meatheads who decide they're tired of being low men on the totem pole. Wahlberg's character has an affinity for self-help, as evidenced by a bizarro cameo by Ken Jeong, while Mackie's guy has whatever the opposite of 'roid rage is. Rebel Wilson appears as a nurse with some super juicy jokes, and Tony Shalhoub leaves his thoughtful and neurotic "Monk" behind to get tasered in slow-mo. »

Lee Nelson, Jodie Prenger for 'Let's Dance for Comic Relief' final

2 March 2013 12:30 PM, PST | Digital Spy | See recent Digital Spy - TV news news »

Jodie Prenger and Lee Nelson have made it to the final of Let's Dance for Comic Relief.

Prenger was the first to make it through, having topped the public vote with a routine to the 1986 Cameo hit 'Word Up', in which the actress dressed as the funk group's frontman Larry Blackmon.

Judges Arlene Phillips, Greg James and Lee Mack then had to choose between Vanessa Feltz, who danced to Cher's 'If I Could Turn Back Time' in leotard and fishnet tights, and Nelson, who was joined by Britain's Got Talent stars Twist & Pulse for a hip-hop spin on Tchaikovsky's 'Swan Lake'. The trio eventually decided to save Nelson.

Newsreaders Ore Oduba and Sonali Shah and ventriloquist Nina Conti received the fewest public votes and were automatically eliminated.

Oduba and Shah performed to the Outkast track 'Hey Ya', while Conti teamed up with her puppet Monk for a gorilla-themed routine »
