Charlie Sheen Reacts to SNL Spoof

Image
It's hard for me to not like Charlie Sheen. He's so over the top, so crazy, that it's hard for me to not think he's just screwing with us, Joaquin Phoenix style. And even if he isn't, which is equally (if not much more) possible, he certainly seems to realize just how over-the-top he is. At this point, we're

First trailer arrives for Farrelly brothers' The Three Stooges

Image
The Farrelly brothers are back with a reworking of classic slapstick trio, The Three Stooges, and we have the first trailer right here Seeing as the Farrelly brothers’ last remake, 2007’s The Heartbreak Kid took a beloved rom-com and replaced its heart with dubiously comedic scenes of Ben Stiller gurning, we’re not entirely optimistic about their new take on The Three Stooges . But in the spirit of magnanimity, we present this trailer for your perusal. Watch it and make up your own mind (just know that if your

First Look at David Walliams in Great Expectations

Image
The drip feed of images from Mike Newell's Great Expectations has now revealed David Walliams' Mr Pumblechook, and he has a great barnet... We’ve already been granted a couple of glimpses of Helena Bonham Carter's Miss Havisham and Jeremy Irvine’s Pip over the last few weeks, but here is your first look at David Walliams in the role of Mr Pumblechook in the upcoming Great Expectations adap. Like the others, it’s a single posed shot rather than a still from the film itself, but it gives us a decent look at the character nonetheless. In the book, Mr Pumblechook is uncle to Pip’s brother-in-law and guardian Joe Gargery. The character is important to the story in that he connects Pip with Miss Havisham, but is also an antagonistic figure that the young protagonist dislikes considerably. Great Expectations is directed by Mike Newell and features Irvine, Bonham-Carter, Walliams, Robbie Coltrane, Holliday Grainger, Sally Hawkins, Ewen Bremmer and Ralph Fiennes. ...

A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas review

Image
Partners in getting high, getting the munchies, and getting wrongfully imprisoned in Cuban detention camps, Harold and Kumar are back Wise old John Hurt recently revealed that when offered a new film role, he asks himself one question: will this succeed on the level it was intended? John Hurt isn’t in A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas but by that logic, had he been asked, he’d have been forced to accept. Because on the level it’s intended – tinselly stoner comedy - A Very Harold and Kumar 3D Christmas succeeds, and it does so with pizazz, a knowing wink, and a surprising amount of festive joy. The script may have its dull points, and the film won’t seduce anyone unwilling to laugh at knob gags and babies on coke, but on the level it’s intended, it’s a success. The third Harold and Kumar feature picks up six years after the slacker pair’s last outing, and finds the two friends having drifted apart. Harold (John Cho) is now boasting a nice house and hot wi...

Birth Name Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio Nickname Leo Lenny D Height 6' (1.83 m) Mini Biography Few actors in the world have had a career quite as diverse as Leonardo DiCaprio's.

Benicio Del Toro turns down Star Trek sequel

Image
Benicio Del Toro may no longer be involved, but rumours that Khan is JJ Abrams' villain persist Hollywood’s a cruel mistress. No sooner does a studio optimistically leak casting news but it’s snatched away from us. Now it seems that Benicio Del Toro won’t be part of JJ Abrams’ Star Trek sequel after all, as the actor failed to reach a deal with the film. That leaves a villain-shaped

First trailer lands for Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods

Image
Joss Whedon and Cloverfield writer Drew Goddard’s tongue-in-cheek take on a classic horror premise, The Cabin in the Woods, is finally on its way After languishing for some time on the metaphorical shelf, Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard’s The Cabin in the Woods is now very nearly upon us. Starring Chris Hemsworth before he picked up Thor ’s hammer, The Cabin in the Woods takes the classic horror premise described in the title and, by the looks of this trailer, throws a bunch of Whedon-esque sci-fi meta stuff at it. Unsurprisingly, it all looks like quite a lot of fun. Directed by Cloverfield -writer, Drew Goddard, the film stars Whedon favourites Amy Acker and Tom Lenk (although they’re mysteriously absent from this trailer) alongside Hemsworth, The West Wing ’s Bradley Whitford, Six Feet Under ’s Richard Jenkins and a bunch of sacrificial teen types. The Cabin in the Woods is due in UK cinemas on the fittingly scary date of Friday the 13 th of April, just skidding in bef...

Good Will Hunting (1997)

There's one affair about Hollywood - you can't stop the hype. I anticipate it was the advertising that gave this cine the bad reviews by some IMDB users, as let's face it, it can absolutely ruin a cine for some people. In "Good Will Hunting", you accept to attending accomplished the advertising and Oscars and see that it absolutely is a attractive blur accounting by two actual accomplished adolescent men, and acted out by accomplished actors such as Robin Williams and Stellan Skarsgard. Personally, I anticipation the artifice was an accomplished abstraction - maybe anyone abroad could accept anticipation of it, but could they accept provided the abundant script? And as for the profanity - yes, there was a lot, but I don't accord a damn! This is absolute life! Humans swear! Deal with it! Anyway, what I absolutely enjoyed about "Good Will Hunting" was the cerebral aspect - actual believable. Here you accept this "typical" 21 - ...

Avatar (2009)

Well, I just saw Avatar this morning, one of the columnist premieres which are active on these days. My opinion: you've apparent this adventure a hundred times, but never like this. Finally 3D is what it's declared to be, an apparatus at the account of the movie. You'll adore the beheld experience, no doubt. As for the story, some of the "inspirations" are so huge and so accessible that advertence two or three of them would REALLY ruin the cine for you, and I'm not accommodating to do that. Lots of mysticism and ecology, if you like that stuff. If you're 15 or so, you'll accept a abundant time cerebration that it's the aboriginal time somebody makes something like this. If you're an accomplished cine watcher, bigger leave your skepticism at the door, accompany lots of pop blah and adore with the accepted action-flick-with-moral-and-loads-of-clichés. I admired it, however: "the cine that re-invents movies"??? No way.

The 400 Blows

Image
Every day life, about 'real' and abrasive it may be, is rarely portrayed on blur and was absolutely a aberration in the 1950's. In Europe however, there was a movement in film-making that accepted this accuracy and searched for the added acceptation in the 'here and now'. This is about the a lot of basal and miniscule allocation of the acceptation abaft the French New Wave of the 1950's – films that explored the filmmaker's surroundings, and eventually became an afflatus for filmmakers about the world. Francois Truffaut's 'The 400 Blows' is one of the a lot of acclaimed films of this movement, and has been accepted and hailed as one of the greatest films of all time. After examination Truffaut's 'The 400 Blows', I accept been absorption over the added acceptation abaft his adventure of Antoine Doinel, a 14 year old boy in Paris who is accepting agitation in academy and agitation at home. In school, he is marginalized as a...

Up

"Up" continues the attitude of movies like "WALL*E," "Finding Nemo" and "Ratatouille": a Disney/Pixar accord appear in the summer months, buoyed by accomplished visuals and a chance that leaves the admirers in tears of joy. I'm not absolutely abiding how the humans abaft these flicks are consistently able to aftermath top-of-the-line superior at just about every time up at bat (the exception, I think, is "Cars" -- a meandering ball that relies too heavily on Larry the Cable Guy's one-trick pony tendencies. Admitting even again if Disney and Pixar aren't at their a lot of entertaining, they are still bigger than a lot of of their competitors.), but I'm not complaining; as continued as I'm abrogation the amphitheater in such a blissful mood, I'm good. And boy, let me acquaint you this: I'd action that even the a lot of aesthetic analyzer will be torn by "Up," even if they attending at the...

My new favorite movie

Image
Trainspotting is the best movie I've ever seen! Danny Boyle did a excellent job of directing a movie based on Irvine Welsh's bestselling novel about desperate and hopeless Scottish heroin addicts. And all the cast did a superb job acting some of the most outrageous and offensive characters I've ever seen. The only downside of this movie is understanding those thick Scottish accents, but that also adds a bit of humor to the movie. What I liked best about Trainspotting was the characters. They were the most unbelievable low-life, junky, sleazy, immoral, trash
