»
A new extended TV spot for Lasse Hallström's upcoming Nicholas Sparks adaptation "Dear John" has hit the Web recently, and you can see it below. It's basically a short version of the theatrical trailer.
In the flick, Amanda Seyfried plays a young woman falling in love with a solider (Channing Tatum) while he’s on leave. When he's deployed, however, the two try to maintain their relationship via love letters.
Also starring is Richard Jenkins, who plays John's father. Jamie Linden, who penned "We Are Marshall," wrote the script. "Dear John" is set to open Feb. 5, 2010. I will chat with the film's stars early next year.

Upgrade Your Warner DVDs to Blu-ray for as Low as $7.95

Warner Home Video just announced a new program where you can upgrade several of your DVD titles to Blu-ray for as low as $7.95, and right now the price doesn't go any higher than $9.95. This is a similar program to the Red2Blu offer they made allowing customers to upgrade their HD DVD titles to Blu-ray, a program I actually took advantage of and loved it as a result.
The process to upgrade is simple. Consumers select the titles they want to upgrade on DVD2Blu.com, mail in their standard DVDs with pre-paid postage and a short time later receive copies of the same film on Blu-ray Disc. Consumers who place orders over $25 will receive free shipping. For a complete list of titles visit DVD2Blu.com, but I have included the most recent list of titles and prices directly below.

Warner Bros. Launches DVD to Blu-ray Upgrade Program

Warner Bros. has announced a DVD to Blu-ray upgrade program. While the list doesn’t include all their titles, it’s at least a start. According to WB, the process to upgrade is simple. Consumers select the titles they want to upgrade on DVD2Blu.com, mail in their standard DVDs with pre-paid postage and a short time later receive copies of the same film on Blu-ray Disc. If you mail in one DVD, it’s $7.95 plus shipping. If you order more than $25, you’ll receive free shipping.
While some people haven’t been converted to Blu-ray, I’m all in. I think the picture quality is amazing on Blu-ray and I definitely see a difference between DVD and the HD format. All I can say is, if you have an 1080p TV, the format is absolutely worth the investment. For a complete list of what WB is willing to

The 'Unknown White Male' Nabs Diane Kruger and January Jones

»
If I told you the next Dark Castle horror-thriller flick would star January Jones and Diane Kruger, you'd probably be interested. If I told you that the most recent Dark Castle horror flicks were Whiteout, Orphan, and Return to House on Haunted Hill ... you'd probably be a little less interested. But with the presence of two stunning blondes (and a half-decent concept), Dark Castle's Unknown White Male is starting to sound a little intriguing.
According to Variety, Ms. Jones and Ms. Kruger will join the very busy (and very lucky) Liam Neeson in Unknown White Male, which "centers on a man who awakens from a coma to find that someone else has assumed his identity, and no one, including his wife, believes him." The director is Jaume Collet-Serra, whom the horror freaks may remember from (Dark Castle) flicks like Orphan and House of Wax. The stunning Diane Kruger is best-known for her work in Troy,

Tommy Lee Jones and McConaughey in Talks for ‘The Lincoln Lawyer’

Collider declared that Tommy Lee Jones is in talks to both direct and act in The Lincoln Lawyer, a film that already has McConaughey attached as the lead. I’m already seeing some nightmarish love-child of No Country for Old Men and Failure to Launch.
The Lincoln Lawyer is based on the eponymous 2005 bestselling novel by Michael Connelly and follows an attorney who runs his business out of his car (McConaughey) and through what’s sure to be a funny little twist of fate, ends up representing a well-known Hollywood playboy in a murder case that, for our lawyer, is the chance of a lifetime. Pardon my cynicism.
It just already sounds to me like we’re going to get one McConaughey playing one of three Hollywood cliches: the guy about to quit; the slacker who enjoys his professionally unimpressive life with a devil-may-care charm; or the guy who endearingly

[DVD Review] Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
24 September 2009 11:00 AM, PDT
| JustPressPlay.net
| See recent JustPressPlay news

False advertising! There are four main reasons I assumed I would love this movie:
1) I’m a fan of the “chick flick.” This just wasn’t a very good chick flick. There weren’t enough laughs, cute moments that you wish your boyfriend would replicate, or the gooey moments where my heart usually melts.
2) Jennifer Garner. I’m not a huge fan of her in general, but I figured she would be good in this movie for her looks alone, but her looks didn’t save the movie this time. I’d rather re-watch 13 Going on 30.
3) Matthew McConaughey. While I still love him for being so darn attractive (my cousin and her friends call him “Matthew McCona-hottie), he really needs to stop playing the exact same character. While leading men tend to play similar characters, his are almost exactly the same.
4) The title.

Free Flick Fridays:[p]Out of the Blue

Out of the Blue:
A Film About Life and Football
Director: Michael Hoffman (2007)
We know it's called Free Flick Fridays, so we're a day early, but the 2009 college football season starts today, and we wanted to paint our faces.
We've got a soft spot for football movies. And Cinderella stories about underdogs triumphing. Yes, those two usually go together (We are Marshall, Remember the Titans, Rudy, etc.), and today's rec is no exception. It is, though, a bit of a novelty in that Out of the Blue is a documentary - this story doesn't need the poetic license a narrative film can offer. Instead, director Michael Hoffman introduces us to the actual young men - and their coaches - who made the impossible possible on an unlikely blue field.
The 2006 Boise State Broncos football team had a lot of potential, but no one dreamed they would turn that potential into a reality with such fervor,

Weekly Poll Results: Best Football Movie
2 September 2009 9:15 AM, PDT
| FilmJunk
| See recent FilmJunk news
»
Last week's poll was a battle of pigskin pics, and Film Junk readers decided that the #1 football movie is the inspirational Rudy starring Sean Astin, followed very closely by Remember The Titans starring Denzel Washington. Peter Berg's Friday Night Lights placed third, which isn't bad, but I kind of expected it to get a few more votes, especially because of the popularity of the TV show. Oliver Stone's Any Given Sunday and the original The Longest Yard rounded out the top 5. Brian's Song was way down at the bottom, although I'm guessing a lot of people simply haven't seen it? I hear it's a classic. Do you concur with these results?
1. Rudy -- 23.5%
2. Remember The Titans -- 21.2%
3. Friday Night Lights -- 14.2%
4. Any Given Sunday -- 13.3%
5. The Longest Yard (1974) -- 7.5%
6. Jerry Maguire -- 6.6%
7. The Program -- 5.8%
8. The Replacements -- 3.1%
9. We Are Marshall -- 2.7%
10. Brian's Song (1971) -- 2.2%

Anthony Mackie is Bewitched On Stage, Bothered On Screen

If you happen to be in NY this weekend, this is your last chance to see the latest free Shakespeare in the Park production, Euripides' The Bacchae. (Common wisdom says these free shows are always sold out but I had no trouble getting in so try it, especially if it's wet outside) The greek tragedy plays like a slightly gender-fucked avant garde musical in this particular production. I had seen it once before 13 years ago and the only thing I remembered about it was the absolutely sick gory finale. It's still disgustingly bloody.
Jonathan Groff (Spring Awakening) goes for a smeared lipstick rock god style Dionysys. His nonbeliever victim is none other than familiar screen actor Anthony Mackie.
One could argue that both actors are having a great summer. See also: Taking Woodstock (Groff) and The Hurt Locker (Mackie).
I know I haven't given The Hurt Locker enough play this summer at the blog.

I Fell in Love with "The Hurt Locker" and You Should Too! The Best Movie of the Summer!

I'm exploding with joy to tell you that "The Hurt Locker" is definitely the best movie of the summer, and is a contender to be one of the best of the year!
Written by Mark Boal (pictured on left) and directed by Katherine Bigelow (pictured on right), the film made its debut at the Venice Film Festival last year, and didn't make its way to the Us until March 2009 at the South by Southwest Film Festival.
(From L to R: Anthony Mackie, Jeremy Renner, Brian Geraghty)
"The Hurt Locker" tells the story of an elite Army bomb squad in Iraq and the highly-combustible game they play against potential enemies. And those enemies can also be the war raging within each characters.
Anthony Mackie ("We Are Marshall," "Million Dollar Baby") stars as the by-the-books Sergeant Jt Sanborn. All he wants is to get out of Iraq.

Interview: Brian Geraghty of ‘The Hurt Locker’
12 July 2009 2:09 PM, PDT
| Atomic Popcorn
| See recent Atomic Popcorn news

Three viewings in, and I still believe The Hurt Locker is the best film of the year, and maybe last year too. Kathryn Bigelow has crafted a film that is perfectly paced, acted, directed, and features the action scene to beat this year. It’s the first film of the year that makes a strong case for being a Best Picture nominee and it’ll likely be there once it’s all said and done. Plus, how cool would it be to have the director of Near Dark and Point Break accept an Oscar for Best Director?
I’m getting ahead of myself but I love this film (as evidenced by my review here) and was fortunate enough to get a chance to chat with Brian Geraghty who plays Specialist Owen Eldridge in the film. Brian does an excellent job conveying a guy who really shouldn’t be in war
