Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

What is it with hometown reunions and high school sweethearts this week? Already, we’ve seen Hilary Duff try to hijack Mark Polish before he can rekindle the flames with his teen crush (Winona Ryder) in Stay Cool . We’ve seen artwork for Diablo Cody’s Young Adult , which features a teen lit novelist (Charlize Theron) who tries to reclaim her happily-married high school honey (Patrick Wilson). And now, we get a clip of Channing Tatum zeroing in on his love interest of yester-decade (Rosario Dawson) in a snippet from the star-packed Ten Year .

Jason Biggs Unleashes the One Reese Witherspoon Tweet You’ll Need

Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Jason Biggs, who was already our favorite Twitter celebrity (er, celebrity on Twitter?), put the news of Reese Witherspoon getting hit by a car and sustaining minor injuries in perspective last night. Since the Oscar-winner is out of the hospital and hopefully in tiptop Tracy Flick form, we like to think Mr. Biggs’s quip registers as playful sarcasm. Ahem: “I just heard the news about Reese Witherspoon doing a voice in ‘Cars 3’. Wow!” [ @BiggsJason ]

REVIEW: Contagion Treats Star-Studded Pandemic With Stone-Cold Tension

Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

[ Minor early spoilers may follow, particularly for anyone who’s avoided Contagion ‘s trailer or coverage from Venice . — Ed. ] No one is safe in Contagion — not from the MEV -1 virus that ricochets out of a crowded Macau casino to cut down a sizable selection of the global population with frightening plausibility, and not from Steven Soderbergh’s pitiless refusal to abide by the unspoken rules of the mainstream movie.

Marty McFly’s Back to the Future II Kicks Can Soon Be Yours

Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Back to the Future II director/producer Frank Marshall recently tweeted , “Something big is coming soon. Can’t say anything yet. No one should know too much about their own destiny. #BTTF.” Well, this package from Dr. Emmett L. Brown helps explain: It’s Nike’s upcoming Air Mag shoe, a replica of Marty McFly’s kicks from the first BTTF sequel, that boast self-lacing technology. Put on yer incredulous Crispin Glover bug eyes, because this is pretty wild! More in Buzz Break after the jump.

REVIEW: Warrior, the Tale of Two Rockys, Packs a Potent Emotional Punch

Posted on September 9, 2011 by | Leave a comment

There’s a moment at the end of Gavin O’C onnor’s MMA drama Warrior in which two men who have been relentlessly beaten and pummeled in the octagon stand dripping with exhaustion, rivers of sweat mingling with the tears running down their faces. It doesn’t matter that you can’t tell the sweat from the tears; that’s partly the point of Warrior anyway, which makes you feel every emotional wound just as acutely, if not more so, than the bruising, rib-crunching body blows. Yes, this is a mixed martial arts movie (distributed by genre specialists Lionsgate, no less). But it’s also one of the most heart-wrenching and deeply felt films of the year.

Kurt Angle on Warrior, His Longtime Acting Ambition and Following The Rock Out of the WWE

Posted on September 8, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s a curious version of the real pro wrestler Kurt Angle that you get from the ring persona he’s projected over the years as a star of the WWE (née WWF ) and now TNA Wrestling, where he’s currently the reigning World Heavyweight Champion. The real-life former Olympic wrestler has played off his 1996 gold medal win as wrestling’s bona fide “American Hero” since his 1998 WWF debut, juggling multiple wrestling companies and countless ring titles while a version of his own personal life, warped through the wrestling world’s faux-realist backstage lens, is broadcast every week to millions of fans. But what Angle really wants to do — what he wanted to do even before pro wrestling came calling — is act. Seriously act.

Tom Hardy Is In Dark Knight Rises Denial (and 8 Other Revelations From the Warrior Press Conference)

Posted on August 20, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When The Fighter premiered last year, Lionsgate was sitting on Warrior , another “fighter” film about the deeply rooted rivalry between two working-class brothers. Directed by Gavin O’C onnor ( Miracle ), the action drama features burgeoning stars Joel Edgerton and Tom Hardy (both of whom force fed themselves chicken and trained brutally to attain realistically rock hard MMA physiques) and Nick Nolte as their recovering alcoholic father who so desperately seeks their forgiveness. In anticipation of this gritty Sept. 9 release, O’C onnor and his stars Nolte, Edgerton, Hardy and Jennifer Morrison gathered Friday at the Los Angeles press conference to discuss Warrior , their upcoming big budget projects ( Dark Knight Rises and The Great Gatsby ) and in the case of Nolte, Katharine Hepburn’s affinity for drunks and the enduring social message of his ’80s Eddie Murphy comedy 48 Hours . Click through for the revelations.
