'Anchorman 2′ Trailer: Stay Classy, Fat Face!

Jacob Hall — Sat, 18 May 2013 17:40:55 +0000

Has it really been nine years since Will Ferrell introduced audiences to the legendary Ron Burgundy with 'Anchorman'? Has it really taken Ferrell and co-writer/director Adam McKay almost a decade to put together a follow-up to the best comedy of the '00s? Well, that wait is almost over and the new trailer for 'Anchorman 2' suggests that Burgundry and his elite news team haven't lost a step.

Or they would have been, if Disney hadn’t redesigned Merida and taken those things [...]

'Bond 24′ – Will Christopher Nolan Direct the Next James Bond Film?

Mike Sampson — Fri, 17 May 2013 17:00:04 +0000

It was just a few weeks ago that Sam Mendes officially announced he wouldn't return to direct 'Bond 24' (what's more, he said the mere thought of returning to direct another James Bond film made him "physically ill") but producers aren't wasting any time finding a replacement. But how do you top 'Skyfall' - the biggest Bond film of all-time and a movie that made over $1 billion? You hire 'The Dark Knight' director Christopher Nolan.

'Fast and Furious 6′ Review

Mike Sampson — Thu, 16 May 2013 10:00:56 +0000

'Fast Five' attempted - and quite successfully I might add - a reboot of sorts for the entire 'Fast and Furious' franchise, turning a series of movies about car racing into one exciting heist film. It was big and brash and sweaty and a complete success. So where do you go from there? 'Fast and Furious 6' attempts to answer that question by adding an -er suffix to all those adjectives above. Bigger, brasher, sweatier.

'Fast and Furious 6' is like 'Fast Five' on nitrous - director Justin Lin hits that proverbial turbo boost to go bigger, faster, stronger - and at times, that is a great thing. But when the NOS runs out, the drag race just turns into a drag.

The new 'Catching Fire' poster finally gives us what we've all been craving for, which is what the first trailer failed to deliver -- any look whatsoever at the new arena!

'This is the End' Featurette: James Franco Plays a Character Named James Franco

Damon Houx — Tue, 14 May 2013 14:00:33 +0000

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Review

Jordan Hoffman — Tue, 14 May 2013 12:00:38 +0000

J.J. Abrams is going to make the greatest 'Star Wars' movie in history.

With 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' Abrams' follow up to the 2009 'Star Trek' reboot (or continuation of the series, if you are Spock Prime) he has solidified his position as a master of propulsive, visceral filmmaking. Dude knows where to put the camera, when the music should swell, when the characters should zing each another or when they should project pathos to the cheap seats. The 'Star Wars' films are mostly gut and little brains and, unfortunately, that is what we have here. The movie still works as an exemplary thrill ride – I laughed, I cried, I cheered – but woe be to anyone who gets caught in a conversation afterwards trying to explain the overly complicated and, at times, silly plot. If you expect something a little sharper out of 'Star Trek' you may come away with some mixed emotions.
