Laff Review: Joe Burke's 'Four Dogs' Is Breezy Buddy Showbiz Comedy with Bite (Trailer)
18 June 2013 11:01 AM, PDT | Thompson on Hollywood | See recent Thompson on Hollywood news »
While micro-budget, plotless indies about sad sack dudes and their lonely lives are old hat at a time when anyone can pick up a camera and shoot, Joe Burke's "Four Dogs," a narrative competition Laff world premiere, stands a cut above as a portrait of two emotionally impotent man-children.A prolific director of short films for nearly a decade, Burke makes his theatrical feature debut with this easy, breezy comedy about a pair of hapless guys drifting aimlessly through existence. Moving at a leisurely, episodic pace, the film captures the meandering sway of life as an low-on-luck actor in Los Angeles. Burke funded the film via family and friends and shot it at the San Fernando Valley home of leading man Oliver Cooper (who played a pervy party animal in "Project X"). He's well-cast as adrift and astray 22-year-old Oliver, who leads a deadbeat life at his chain-smoking aunt's house, »

Santa Found Footage Flick 12/24 Claimed By 1492 Pictures
13 June 2013 8:35 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Though many wish it would, the found footage genre shows no sign of dying out anytime soon as this week, the holiday themed 12/24, written by Matt Lieberman, has been acquired by 1492 Pictures, established by director Chris Columbus. Among the titles 1492 has produced in the past are Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and the Fantastic Four films.
12/24 focuses on two brothers armed with a video camera who seek to obtain proof of Santa Clause’s existence, as is the plan of most youngsters during Christmas time. They end up accompanying jolly Saint Nick as he makes his yearly delivery of gifts to the deserving girls and boys. During this adventure that any child would envy, the brothers accidentally crash Santa’s sleigh. Now they must do all they can to prevent the cancellation of the much anticipated holiday, as nobody wants to be remember as the child who ruined Christmas for all. »

Hollywood Doppelgänger Math
6 June 2013 2:35 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
We're all aware that many people in Hollywood share an uncanny resemblance. We're not about to rattle off some tired list of celebrity twins. Instead, we take things up a notch with Hollywood Doppelgänger Math, a new series from GeekTyrant that is sure to change the way you look at actors and the roles they play. To make the cut, a person has to look like the sum of at least two other people. For this first collection, we focused on equations that resulted in young and/or up-and-coming actors. We have also included a list of other connections the actors share.
All three have played secondary love interests in popular sitcoms; Amy Adams in The Office, Alison Brie in Community, and Alexandra Daddario in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Both Adams and Brie have played sisters to characters portrayed by Emily Blunt; Adams in Sunshine Cleaners and Brie in The Five-Year Engagement. »

Mobile Phones and the Movies
31 May 2013 8:31 AM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
There can be an array of reasons why phones feature in films and it’s not just for advertising. It may not have been considered much, but phones can actually be very important to the plot - you may wonder why the characters don’t just use the landline, but let’s face it, this doesn’t exactly scream wow factor.
Action films such as the Bond, Mission: Impossible and Bourne films are a great example of how phones can be important to the storyline and significantly change it. Just as we use our phones to keep all-important aspects of our lives together (contacts, passwords, calendars) so do our film heroes in the present day.
Back in the day Bond had to carry around a separate technology for tracking enemies, blowing up buildings and even electrocuting people. However, these days, Bond is able to reach for his phone and make »

Thrilling Animated Sci-Fi Fairytale - Worlds Apart
28 May 2013 10:50 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Here's another fantastic CG animated short film for you to watch! The movie is called Worlds Apart, and it's described as being part cautionary fairytale and part science fiction thriller. It was written, produced, and directed by Michael Zachary Huber for Cogswell College's elite Project X animation studio. As you'll see it ended up being phenomenal.
The film "tells the story of a young Central California family caught in an unimaginable situation. Told through the eyes of a child's teddy bear, Worlds Apart is part cautionary fairytale and part science fiction thriller." Enjoy the show!

Second Opinion - The Hangover Part III (2013)
27 May 2013 1:41 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
The Hangover Part III, 2013.
Directed by Todd Phillips.
Starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, and John Goodman.
Synopsis:
This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
Definition of vacuous:
Adjective: Having or showing a lack of thought or intelligence; mindless.
Example of use in a sentence: “The Hangover Part III is a completely vacuous cinematic experience.”
Yes, The Hangover Part III is as bad as it gets from a summer comedy, or a comedy from any season, year, or decade. It is a ‘comedy’ without a single laugh and an experience without a single commendable element stretching across its 100 minute running time. It’s a feat of utter failure and incompetence at every turn and a thoroughly unpleasant film.
In 2011, comedy sequels sunk to a painful new low when »

The problem with Hollywood's mainstream R-rated comedies
23 May 2013 3:01 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Feature Simon Brew 24 May 2013 - 07:27
As The Hangover Part III looks set to clean up at the box office, Simon wonders why comedies can't aim a bit higher....
Amongst the many majestic scenes in Carl Reiner's hugely underappreciated comedy classic All Of Me is one where Steve Martin has to go the toilet. By this time, he's sharing a body with Lily Tomlin, with each of them controlling one half of it. Thus, Martin needs Tomlin to, bluntly, do the necessaries.
It's brilliantly and simply shot, with Tomlin's face the reflection in the mirror, delivering a difficult performance pitch perfectly. Martin, not for the first time in his career, is genuinely astounding too, one of the most gifted comedy actors of all time. They take a simple scene, and turn it into something special. Basically, two gifted performers sell you a superb, very funny scene about a man having a pee. »

Mike Lobell Adds Cast To ‘Eisner,’ Plots Projects With Billy Crystal, Richard Gere
21 May 2013 2:25 PM, PDT | Deadline New York | See recent Deadline New York news »
Exclusive: Mike Lobell, the veteran producer whose 14-years of persistence helped make the remake Gambit happen, is getting close on three other projects with strong elements. He has re-teamed with former partner, writer-director Andrew Bergman, on A Film By Alan Stuart Eisner, an ensemble comedy which so far has Project X‘s Oliver Cooper, Shirley MacLaine and Robin Williams attached, with Rob Reiner making a cameo. Lobell reports that the film has added Sienna Miller, Isla Fisher and Audra MacDonald. Eisner is a comedy dealing with a young man making a documentary to learn what happened to his family during WWII. He is out looking for financing.

Looking back at Robot Jox

With Pacific Rim on the horizon, what better time to look back at the 1989 giant robot flick, Robot Jox...
Soon, cinemas everywhere will unleash the giant robot warriors of Guillermo del Toro’s vivid imagination with Pacific Rim, due to open in July. And from what we’ve glimpsed so far in its trailers, boy are these babies going to rock. But this isn’t the first time we’ve seen humans pilot giant mecha in the movies - back in 1989, director Stuart Gordon brought us the cult spectacular, Robot Jox.
Snow blows across a barren Siberian wasteland and a howling wind can be heard. Aside from a few scattered trees, the desolate landscape is strewn with huge broken, burnt out metal body parts. Suddenly another severed limb - this one looks like an arm - crashes to the ground, sparks still flying where »

Win Passes To The Advance Screening Of The Hangover Part III In St. Louis
10 May 2013 2:44 PM, PDT | WeAreMovieGeeks.com | See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news »
It’s been two years. Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are happily living uneventful lives at home. Tattoos have been lasered off, files purged. The last they heard from disaster-magnet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), he’d been tossed into a Thai prison and, with him out of the way, the guys have very nearly recovered from their nights prowling the seamy side of Las Vegas in a roofie’d haze, and being kidnapped, shot at, and chased by drug-dealing mobsters in Bangkok.
The only member of the Wolfpack who’s not content is Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Still lacking a sense of purpose, the group’s black sheep has ditched his meds and given in to his natural impulses in a big way—which, for Alan, means no boundaries, no filters and no judgment—until a personal crisis forces him to finally seek the help he needs. »

The Great Gatsby
10 May 2013 12:01 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Directed by: Baz Luhrmann
Cast: Tobey Maguire, Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton
Running Time: 2 hrs 23 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: May 10, 2013
Plot: A bondsman (Maguire) becomes witness to a love triangle involving his cousin (Mulligan), her husband (Edgerton), and the wealthy rich man of mystery (DiCaprio) who lives in a mansion next door. Based on the novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald.
Who’S It For? Fans hoping this movie will honor the spirit of the novel should probably not bother; this film adaptation has its own spirit, one highly directed towards viewers who simply want opulence.
Expectations: Having recently read the novel for the first time, I was curious as to how the Moulin Rouge director Baz Luhrmann would treat the material, especially with the promise of a unique soundtrack. And most importantly, I wondered how this adaptation would be able to choose from such rich »

Iron Man 3 still holding strong while The Look of Love is sadly unrequited
8 May 2013 8:56 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Three's the magic number for Shane Black's superhero sequel as it doubles the takings of Iron Man 2. Meanwhile, Michael Winterbottom's Paul Raymond biopic heads south
The winner
After four days, Iron Man 3 was running just 13% behind The Avengers at the same stage of its UK run, suggesting that the film would finish a lot closer to the superhero team-up (£51.9m) than to either of the earlier Iron Man movies. Seven days later, and it's a similar story, with Iron Man 3 at an impressive £24.6m as of Sunday night, a slim 18% behind Avengers at the same point of release. If it continues at a similar pace, Iron Man 3 should end up around £42-43m here. The first Iron Man film maxed out at £17.4m, while the sequel made it to £21.3m, so the third episode looks set to double its predecessor.

Exclusive 21 & Over Clip: Potty Mouth
5 May 2013 11:10 PM, PDT | TotalFilm | See recent TotalFilm news »
Pitching 21 & Over must've been pretty easy. A teen movie in the vein of The Hangover (with added shades of Project X and Superbad thrown in for good measure) it looks to be a riotous and very raunchy ride. Something evidenced pretty spectacularly by our very R-rated exclusive clip, featuring one college dormer who's - shall we say, 'disgruntled' - at the inconvenience of those partying around her. Cue expletives. Lots of them.

Film Review: '21 and Over'
5 May 2013 11:39 AM, PDT | CineVue | See recent CineVue news »
★★☆☆☆ If it wasn't for the fact that 21 and Over (2013) is directed by the writing duo which gave birth to The Hangover franchise, you'd be forgiven for accusing this boozy frathouse comedy of outright plagiarism. Cut from very much the same cloth as Todd Phillips' curiously popular gross-out comedy, 21 and Over takes the 'boys will be boys' mantra down a relatively predictable and, in comparison to its peers, rather timid route. Sipping a can of Busch beer from a brown paper bag in the back of a taxi, our first impression of Miller (Miles Teller) is the perfect set-up to the particular teen comedy's blithe persona.
Miller is about to meet old school friend Casey (Skylar Astin), a po-faced, straight-a student destined to spend his life in the high pressure surroundings of Wall Street. This comically diverse couple is on their way to meet another old acquaintance, Jeff Chang (Justin Chon »

21 & Over Review
4 May 2013 1:54 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »
Director: Jon Lucas, Scott Moore.
Starring: Miles Teller, Skylar Astin, Justin Chon, Sarah Wright.
Running Time: 93 minutes.
Certificate: 15.
Synopsis: The night before his big medical school interview, a promising student celebrates his 21st birthday with his two best friends.
The Hangover has a lot to answer for. On the plus side we have it to thank for the blossoming career of Bradley Cooper, but on the other we have the onslaught of disappointing gross-out comedies that followed. Jon Lucas and Scott Moore are responsible for penning the first episode in The Hangover trilogy, as well as The Change-up which followed and Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past which preceded it. With 21 & Over, the duo make their long-awaited directorial debuts with a film they hope will capture the same spirit and mainstream success as their previous scripted efforts.
Starring a relatively unknown cast, 21 & Over basically covers the same ground as the first two Hangover movies, »

21 & Over review
2 May 2013 2:14 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »
Review Caroline Preece 3 May 2013 - 06:16
The writers of The Hangover team up for their directorial debut, 21 & Over. The results are rather draining, Caroline writes...
21 & Over, the directorial debut from Hangover writing duo Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, is a very odd movie to watch with adult eyes. You can see what it’s trying to do, and some of it works pretty well, but the scattergun approach to humour that the Hangover franchise has crafted into its own artform takes on an unexpected discomfort when combined with this unrelenting, juvenile humour young audiences are supposed to enjoy. 21 & Over will no doubt spark the kind of weary discussion that last year’s Project X did – and the conclusion will deduce that under-20s deserve better from their targeted comedies.
The film follows a trio of high schools friends, Miller (Miles Teller), Casey (Skylar Astin) and Jeff Chang (Justin Chon) who »

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.
