Marking Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s anticipated feature directorial debut, Don Jon is very much a must-see movie of the year, with Gordon-Levitt working on both sides of the camera for his first film.
The movie premiered at Sundance at the start of the year, and quickly became a very hot property, ultimately acquired by Relativity with a very confident deal to promote the film.
We saw a terrific first trailer surface last month. And in honour of Father’s Day yesterday, Gordon-Levitt released the first red-band clip.
Jon Martello (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a strong, handsome, good old fashioned guy. His buddies call him Don Jon due to his ability to “pull” a different woman every weekend, but even the finest fling doesn’t compare to the bliss he finds alone in front of the computer watching pornography. Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) is a bright, beautiful, good old fashioned girl. Raised on romantic Hollywood movies, »

Although often lambasted for being too simple, some blockbuster series require hours of effort to get the correct chronology straight. With reboots the current favoured blockbuster production method in Hollywood, to see a franchise make it to more than three iterations without a complete do over is a rare occurrence. What’s even rarer is to see one make it that far without one director or another messing with the order of the series.
Prequels, late in the day sequels, heavily homaging reimaginings; they all mess with the order of a series, leaving us all perplexed as to where the latest entry is meant to fit. Sometimes you have resort to drawing complex maps on napkins, feeling more obsessive than Bruce Willis in Looper (no mean feat), only to give up and pray for a reboot.
Well fear not. Like on very current entry on this list we’re here to save the day. »

Welcome back to Thn’s Top Ten Former Child Stars That You Now Totally Would. Yesterday we had numbers 10 – 6, which you can view here. Now it’s time to get your voyeurism on as we check out the Top Five. Is it appropriate? Not really. Is it justifiable? That’s for the courts to decide.
Omg Jgl!!
Child star? What were they in?
He cut his teeth on various TV shows including Roseanne, Dr Quinn: Medicine Woman, Quantum Leap and even Murder She Wrote. But we all remember him best as little Tommy Solomon in the terrific 3rd Rock From The Sun. He also got an ice hockey boot through the face in Halloween: H20 (1998) and was juuuuuuust about legal in the brilliant 10 Things I Hate About You. Though it may not feel like it, you can totally ogle him in that film, guilt free. Go ahead. I’ll wait. »

I had a chance to visit Spectral Motion for a tour of their amazing workshop where creatures and effects are created for movies like Hellboy, X-Men Last Stand and Looper. During the visit we got a rare look into how these amazing feats go from idea to reality and got to go hands on by making own own body molds, operating a pair of giant hands, and even getting turned into a witch from the movie! I got to talk face to face with Academy Award nominee effects master Mike Elizalde and monster veteran Derek Mears about their work on Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters which is out now on [ Read More ]

It's top of the UK box office in spite of lacklustre figures, while Behind the Candelabra and Made of Stone sneak up the list
The winner
After landing at a disappointing third place in the Us chart the previous weekend, it was down to the overseas territories to pick up the slack for Sony's After Earth, which teams global superstar Will Smith with son Jaden. Could foreign make up for the weak results at domestic? Well, no complaints from Sony at its UK chart position (it's at the top) but the box-office number, £2.25m, is nothing to get excited about. By rule of thumb it's actually behind the pace of its Us debut of $27.5m – you'd expect a UK figure of around £2.7m. The result trails behind the debuts not just of 2013 franchise pictures such as Fast & Furious 6 (£8.72m) and Star Trek Into Darkness (£8.43m including previews), but also of similarly themed non-sequels. »

Hugh Jackman goes Charles Bronson in the new trailer to Prisoners. The Academy Award nominee is not alone with a cast full of Oscar nominated actors that include Jake Gyllenhaal, Viola Davis, Melissa Leo, Maria Bello and Terrence Howard.
In the Prisoners, Jackman and Terrence Howard's little girls are kidnapped by someone they suspect drove away in an Rv. Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood, Looper) plays the wacko accused of kidnapping two children, and boy does he look like a Jeffrey Dahmner-type killer. Jake Gyllenhall is the detective on the case, but of course, the police are no help so Jackman's Keller Dover takes matters into his own hands, determined to find his little girl and her friend no matter the cost. We've never seen Jackman this angry, even as the Wolverine.

Movie cliches are unavoidable; the director only has two-odd hours to take you from start to finish, so whether a high school's social structure is built on a thin foundation of classic nerd and jock stereotypes or a wedding is abruptly interrupted by the aw-shucks nice guy who's finally ready to spill his guts, there's bound to be some shortcuts along the way.
But sometimes Hollywood takes it a bit further, hitting us with cliches that are so oddly specific (and frequently divorced from reality) that they make you wonder if they've been written by a random plot-generating robot with limited resources and a tenuous grasp on the human experience. So sit back, relax, and set your deja vu detectors to "on" as we break down ten insanely specific things that are commonplace in the movieverse.

Sitting prominently behind Dan Mintz in his Beijing office at production company Dmg are wooden crates, the kind you imagine might be used to pack a certain superhero’s metal armor. The crates, a promotion for “Iron Man 3″ are, excuse the pun, a stark testament to the Dmg topper’s success at teaming up with Marvel to make the third installment of the franchise a success in the famously difficult market that is China.
To help sell the film, the New York native even got Robert Downey Jr. to make an appearance in the Forbidden City, the ancient imperial palace at Beijing’s heart.
Mintz’s mantra when advising others on how to break into the Chinese market is “access and relevance,” as in access to the right people to approve a film, and relevance of the project — and the company — to China. Mintz believes the success of his »

The only series I can say I’ll miss as much as I’ll miss Dexter is AMC’s Breaking Bad. In fact, I’m probably more sentimental about the misadventures of Walter White and Jesse Pinkman. A parting gift was bestowed upon loyal fans this week. Here it is, one of the final promo posters we’ll ever see. That’s not a tear in my eye, its just a reaction to the smoke…
The tagline: “All Bad Things Must Come to and End” appears on the poster, which is nothing more than a clever shot of the yellowish smoke with which fans are so familiar. Over the course of five seasons, we’ve been seeing the smoke at the start of every episode.
Part one of season five closed last September with Walt’s D.E.A. agent brother-in-law, Hank, checking out Walt’s copy of “Leaves of Grass, »

For Ellen, 2012.
Written and Directed by So Yong Kim
Starring Paul Dano, Jon Heder, Margarita Levieva, Jena Malone, Shaylena Mandigo and Dakota Johnson.
Synopsis:
Aspiring rock star Joby Taylor finally agrees to sign divorce papers with his estranged wife but discovers he is about to forfeit all custody of his six-year-old daughter Ellen. Even though he has never been in his daughter's life, Joby suddenly realises he's not ready to give up his right to fatherhood and aided by his good natured lawyer he sets across a wintry U.S landscape to try and see her before it is too late.
[Mr Hatch joined me again for For Ellen and has given a few words at the bottom of my review. Aren’t I kind?]
Watching this film made me release that my vision of divorcing and child custody battles were covered in a crispy saccharine Hollywood coating. What So Yong Kim (In Between Days, Treeless Mountain) did too that vision was smash it into jagged shards of loss and hurt.

Even though J.J. Abrams is open to the idea of directing Star Trek 3, chances are he won't be able to make it because of his commitment to make Star Wars: Episode VII. It's only natural for the studio to start putting together a list of directors to possibly take his place. Latino-Review's El Mayimbe revealed that Attack the Block director and Ant-Man co-writer Joe Cornish is one of many names on a list that Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot have put together. I got me thinking... if Abrams doesn't come back, who would make a great replacement? Here are the tweets that went out...
I guess y'all wanna know about who might be directing Star Trek 3 if it ever goes. Heard Joe Cornish But also heard he's on a list of names.

Hence, why I'm tweeting this instead of writing a story because quite frankly there is no story there. »

Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s directorial debut, Don Jon, blazed into Sundance all set to make a heart breaker out of its director. What it did was snag shocked gasps from the press. The film was deemed too graphic for its depiction of on screen porn. It has since been re-edited following a tussle with the MPAA who were ready to slap the film with an Nc-17 certificate. Judging from this first trailer though, the presence of porn seems…well, rather necessary.
Starring, written and directed by Gordon-Levitt, the Looper star leads this tale of a modern day Don Juan. Don Martello’s life is driven by his need for a great body, a great car, a great family and an even greater addiction to porn. As he finds himself drawn to Barbara (Scarlett Johansson) he must choose between self-gratification and taking a chance on a real relationship. What will triumph? Barbara »

"There's only a few things I really care about in life. My body, my pad, my ride, my family, my church, my boys, my girls...and my porn." So goes the opening narration in the very first trailer for "Don Jon" (f.k.a. "Don Jon's Addiction"), the upcoming Joseph Gordon-Levitt comedy that represents the "Looper" star's first feature-length effort as a writer/director. The film, which debuted to mostly-positive reviews at this year's Sundance Film Festival (the film was championed by our own Drew McWeeny, though In Contention's Guy Lodge came away less than impressed), centers on Jon "Don Jon" Martello, a vapid Jersey-ite »

The first trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's directorial debut Don Jon has premiered.
Gordon-Levitt also stars as Jon Martello, a ladies' man obsessed with pornography. Jon decides to become less selfish and more honest after learning about the realities of love from old-fashioned romantic Barbara Sugarman (Scarlett Johansson) and night school classmate Esther (Julianne Moore).
Tony Danza and Brie Larson have supporting roles in Don Jon, which Gordon-Levitt has said is his idea of a love story.
"I wanted to tell a love story, and in my observations, what gets in the way of love often times is the way the people objectify each other," he recently explained.
Don Jon, which was picked up by Relativity Media at this year's Sundance Film Festival, is due to be released on October 13 in the Us.
The movie will open on November 15 in the UK.
