Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's Bikini Weekend With Jason

10 June 2013 12:50 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »

It's been a glamorous few weeks for Rosie Huntington-Whiteley - she's been in the South of France since the Cannes Film Festival last month, and now boyfriend Jason Statham has joined her getaway. On Saturday, Jason and Rosie hung out poolside in Cap d'Antibes, where Rosie rocked a bright green bikini when she wasn't showing Pda on a balcony with Jason. They were back out in the sun today, when Rosie lounged in a printed bikini and sarong while Jason stayed cool in a shirt. Jason made the trip overseas after wrapping work on Heat in Las Vegas and letting loose with the cast at a bash at Daylight Beach Club's Eclipse party. Jason had more than one reason to celebrate, though, since Fast & Furious 6 continued its box office success, landing at second place after its huge opening weekend at the beginning of the month.

The English Teacher Movie Review

22 May 2013 10:51 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

The English Teacher, which drips with an “indie” feel, has only one real problem, and that’s its internal struggle over whether or not to aim for subtlety. The story of a stereotypical ideal, in this case that of a bookworm nerd turned English teacher, this is a movie that starts out with that mocking notion many High Schoolers have of what certain teachers are like at home, and then drives a train through that life to see what we can make with the rubble. Apart from setting up our teacher, Linda Sinclair (Julianne Moore), as such an anti-role model for the book crowd (“See, that’s what people who read are like”), it’s an interesting concept, and potentially a fun ride. This is especially true when we move into the particulars of her fall from grace, and what she manages to do about it.

But, there’s a balancing act going on here, »

News Simon Brew 16 Apr 2013 - 06:30

New casting and filming details for Michael Bay's Transformers 4, which will apparently be a "chase from hell".

As Michael Bay's new movie, Pain & Gain, begins its worldwide roll-out, the maker of on-screen mayhem is preparing to make his fourth film in the Transformers series. Set for release in June next year, Transformers 4 is a bit of a shake-up for the series, with Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz and Jack Reynor already on board.

At the CinemaCon event currently taking place in the States, Bay has now also announced that Stanley Tucci is the latest addition to the cast. Tucci, recently seen in The Hunger Games and currently filming Heat with the mighty Jason Statham, is taking on a thus-far unknown role. If you get a chance though, do check out a film he directed - Big Night. It's excellent, and features »

Stanley Tucci, Anne Heche & Michael Angarano Join 'Heat' Remake

12 April 2013 9:48 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »

The remake of Heat starring Jason Statham got knocked down a couple pegs recently when Brian De Palma opted not to direct, and Con-Air and The Expendables 2 helmer Simon West took over. While West is good at fun action, it would have been nice to see someone like De Palma work with Statham. Anyway, the film is still on track and recently Sofia Vergara joined the cast. Now some more supporting members have turned up as Deadline reports Stanley Tucci, Michael Angarano, Anne Heche, Hope Davis, Milo Ventimiglia and Cedric the Entertainer have all joined the the remake of the 1986 thriller. More below! For those just joining us, Statham is playing Nick Escalante, a compulsive gambler who works "security" jobs in Las Vegas. When his prostitute friend (Vergara) gets roughed up by a sadistic member of the mob, Escalante turns vigilante and heads out for revenge. Angarano will play »

Sofia Vergara went back to Colombia this past weekend to celebrate Barranquilla's Bicentennial, her hometown.

On Sunday, in the Plaza de la Paz, Barranquilla celebrated its two centuries with a spectacle of lights, videos and music.

11 March 2013 4:43 PM, PDT | EW - Inside Movies | See recent EW.com - Inside Movies news »

• After a reported six months of negotiations, Jason Sudekis, Jason Bateman, and Charlie Day are set to reprise their roles as Kurt, Nick, and Dale for Horrible Bosses 2.
