We’re The Millers Reviews: How Does the Fake Family Fare?

Right on the heels of Johnny Depp and company blaming critics for  The Lone Ranger  flop , the We’re the Millers reviews are in.  Will Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston have the same opinion of critics as  The Lone Ranger crew? We’ll likely never know but looking at these reviews for the film opening today? Yikes. While not as scathing as  The Canyons reviews , things aren’t looking too hot for the comedy. This film’s eagerness to please functions as a slow poison, draining The Millers of its vitality by rendering its characterization uneven, its potential undeveloped, and its plot predictable and stupid. — Inkoo Kang,  Village Voice It’s easy to point out the faults in We’re the Millers because it is definitely not a complete comedy, but it is the funniest one this summer. — Matthew Razak,  Flixist.com Aniston is a gifted comic actor, and she is in amazing shape. Sudeikis, too, has serious comic chops and experience. But this material is weak and lacks warmth in spite of its hypocrisy. — James Verniere,  Boston Herald “We’re the Millers” plays like a “Saturday Night Live” skit that goes on too long. — Bill Goodykoontz,  Arizona Republic There’s a few laughs to be had along the way and if there’s any justice we should see a lot more of the truly talented Will Poulter, but this well-hyped comedy isn’t as funny as its well cut trailer would indicate. — Laura Clifford,  Reeling Reviews Loud and annoying? Occasionally. Funny? Sometimes. Likely to be noticed by filmgoers six months from now? Not really. — Ben Keningsberg,  AV Club

Diana Trailer: The "People’s Princess" On the Big Screen

Much like the JFK assassination, people remember where they were when they heard Princess Diana had died. She was, and remains, one of the most recognizable women in the world. When Prince George, aka the Royal Baby , was born, talk returned to Diana and her legacy. Nearing the 16th anniversary of her death, a new film is coming out that focuses on a very brief moment in the Princess’ life but one the filmmakers believe to be a pivotal one.  Check out the  Diana trailer below! Diana Movie Trailer Directed by Oliver Hirshbiegel, who is known most well for his film,  Downfall , which provided the scene for the very popular “Hitler Reacts To” meme,  Diana tells the story of the love affair between Diana (Naomi Watts) and Dr. Hasnat Kahn (Naveen Andrews).  While it, of course, garnered plenty of paparazzi attention, the affair is not as well remembered as others including the ill-fated Dodi Fayed. Diana is set to open in the UK on September 20th, no US date has been set as of yet.

Cool Runnings Written Under the Influence of Heroin

Reddit can be a great source of information, especially when it comes to their AMA (Ask Me Anything) posts. This week, screenwriter Tony Swerdlow took to the site in hopes of raising some publicity for his Indiegogo project,  The House Itself. However, it was Swerdlow’s admission of being high as a kite while writing such classics as  Cool Runnings and  Little Giants  that caught everyone’s attention. The amazing part? Swerdlow’s description of his reaction to the heroine, “it made no difference… it was like using oxygen it didn’t get me high.. just let me function.. glad you love the movie though.” So heroine is like oxygen? Not having ever used heroine I’ll have to take his word for it but that was certainly not what I would have expected. Swerdlow is clean now thanks to having suffered a heart valve infection that more or less forced him to drop the drugs. We wish him all the luck with his new film. Always nice to see someone get their act together, “like using oxygen” or not.

All is Lost Trailer: Robert Redford Helpless on the Open Sea

Robert Redford is back on the big screen with the upcoming  All is Lost . The list of actors that can pull off a film of solely them on a sinking boat and then life raft? It is short. Robert Redford however, is likely towards the top. Check out the  All is Lost trailer below! All is Lost Trailer I have a recurring nightmare of going out for a sail and ending up in a situation that would make Bear Grylls cringe so this movie is like a horror flick for me. At the same time, I can not wait! Tom Hanks showed that the best actors can take a volleyball and make us love it, here’s hoping Robert Redford does the same. All is Lost opens on October 18th.

Captain Save A Ho: Oprah’s OWN Network Is Making That Paper Thanks To Tyler Perry

Oprah’s struggling OWN network is finally getting it together. OWN Network Making Money Thanks To Tyler Perry Oprah owes Tyler all the weave on her head. OWN looked like it was down for the count like when Pac Man got knocked out by Juan Manuel Márquez. According to The NY Daily News Oh, Oprah. The revelation Tuesday that Oprah Winfrey’s struggling OWN network is finally — earlier than expected — making money came as a shock to much of the TV industry. Obviously not to Oprah herself, who has proven for decades that she is a mad genius at making money. It’s not surprising that OWN is generating cash four months earlier than projected by its parent company (Discovery Communications, whose other networks include the Discovery Channel and TLC). The surprise is the way OWN has done it. The network’s big moment comes via … Tyler Perry. Perry is as much of a genius as Oprah is at printing money, notably with the movies featuring him in drag playing Madea, a huge, hyperactive, tough old lady. He signed up last year to produce shows for OWN. Now his two series on the network — the drama “The Haves and the Have Nots” and the sitcom “Love Thy Neighbor,” both almost unanimously panned by critics — are OWN’s most-watched programs. Will you be tuning into “The Haves and Have the Nots” and “Love Thy Neighbor?”
