Justin Bieber: Never Say Never (DVD/Blu-ray Combo) Justin Bieber (Actor) , John Chu (Director) | Format: Blu-ray 864% Sales Rank in Movies & TV: 68 (was 656 yesterday) (8) Buy new: $27.99 (Visit the Movers & Shakers in Movies & TV list for authoritative information on this product’s current rank.) Review & Description Justin Bieber: Never Say Never is the inspiring, entertaining and intimate look at the life and meteoric rise of pop phenomenon Justin Bieber. From small town boy to global super-star, Never Say Never follows Justin Bieber’s journey from his early years, to his rise from break-out internet sensation to global super-star, culminating with a sold-out show at the famed Madison Square Garden. More than just a concert, Never Say Never is a captivating, cinematic event featuring all-star musical talent including, Usher, Jaden Smith, Ludacris, and more! Never underestimate the power of perseverance, social media, good hair, and a winning smile. Small town boy Justin Bieber is a young musician (16 years old at the time of this film’s release) who started out goofing around on the drums at home as a young child and posting videos on You Tube as a preteen. With the help of producer Scooter Braun, he has rocketed to the status of pop phenomenon, performing for a sold-out house at the coveted Madison Square Garden in less than two years. Part documentary, part concert video, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never combines archival home videos with live concert footage; interviews with everyone from Justin’s young single mother and his grandparents to his vocal coach “Mama Jan” Smith, pop icon and actor Usher, and producer Braun; and way too much footage of squealing, overwrought preteen female fans (the latter will likely cause one’s eyes to spontaneously roll back in one’s head and trigger a gag reflex unless one happens to be a 10- to 12-year-old girl). Showcased are Bieber’s early visits to every radio station imaginable; his life backstage, on the road, and during a rare visit with his friends back home; the determination of those around him to keep his life as normal as possible; and lots of up-close footage of his concerts. Throughout the 10 days preceding his Garden debut, guest artists like Miley Cyrus, Usher, Jaden Smith, and Boyz II Men join Bieber onstage for collaborative performances of songs including “Overboard,” “Somebody to Love,” “Never Say Never,” and “U Smile.” Bieber also deals with the stress and pain of a throat infection that causes him to cancel his first show ever and threatens to prevent him from honoring his performance date at the Garden. Finally, the day of the Madison Square Garden performance arrives and viewers are treated to a great sampling of Bieber’s powerful performance. The film does a good job of chronicling Bieber’s rise to stardom, but let’s face it, his career has spanned less than two years as of this film, so there’s not really all that much to say in a movie that lasts almost two hours. But even if you’re not a rabid Justin Bieber fan, you have to admit the kid has talent and you’ve got to respect his incredible journey.

No, this isn’t the devastating end to a Hitchcock movie: Farley Granger, the actor whose 60 years of credits included starring roles in the Master of Suspense’s Rope (1948) and Strangers on a Train (1951), died of natural causes at age 85 in New York City. You’ll notice he was also gorgeous. Let’s revisit a trailer from his finest hour on film and discuss his fantastic legacy.
If you didn’t get your poster fill from The Tree of Life and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II , don’t worry: The boys from The Hangover Part II have arrived from Thailand, and they’ve brought a monkey in a sleeveless jean jacket. Let’s get this party started?
Courtney Love shrugged. “We’ve been in lots of rooms together,” she said to a packed theater of moviegoers at the Museum of Modern Art, where Hit So Hard , a documentary about her band Hole (and, more specifically, drummer/addict/survivor Patty Schemel) had its New York premiere Monday night. The crowd laughed, steeped in nostalgia and recognition — not that Love was talking about this room or this crowd.
Everybody loves a good David and Goliath story and boy is this a humdinger of one. In this corner is Zack Snyder, director of big event movies beloved by the Comic Con cognoscenti, helming a movie featuring big explosions, pretty girls in short skirts and elaborate fight scenes, all released in gross-maximizing IMAX and PG-13. In this corner is Diary of a Wimpy Kid , an unassuming kids’ movie rushed into production after the relative success of the first installment. And the Kid just cleaned Snyder’s clock, despite the aforementioned IMAX surcharges and despite a large chunk of Kid ‘s ticket sales coming from discounted child prices. Ladies and gentlemen, your Weekend Receipts are here.
Perhaps trying to distract from his embarrassing second-place finish to a children’s sequel , the Los Angeles Times is reporting that Zack Snyder has officially chosen Amy Adams as the Lois Lane to Henry Cavill’s Clark Kent. Lady luminaries such as Rachel McAdams, Jessica Biel and Kristin Stewart were reportedly in contention but three-time Academy Award-nominee Adams edged them all out. So what can we expect from Adams’ Lois Lane?
As the embers from the Jennifer Lawrence casting inferno die down, director Gary Ross is ready to turn his attention to the boys. Ross is reportedly testing out his Hunger Game hopefuls with previously cast Lawrence to see who has the right spark. Weeds ‘s Hunter Parrish and X-Men: First Class ‘ Lucas Till are among those in the running for Peeta, the baker’s son, while Liam “My brother is Thor” Hemsworth and Falling Skies ‘ Drew Roy are amongst those up for huntsman Gale. We’ve sized up the pros and the cons or each candidate below but who are your ideal boys for your dream Hunger Games cast?
To my previous rule of “Only Remake Bad Movies, Not Good Ones,” let me add the codicil, “But It’s OK to Remake Good Ones If the Original Strayed from the Source Material.” Because that’s what Todd Haynes does in his breathtaking five-part HBO adaptation of James M. Cain’s Mildred Pierce (premiering this Sunday, March 27). Rather than try to summon the magic that made the 1945 version so memorable (Joan Crawford won a well-deserved Oscar in the title role), Haynes goes back to the original Cain novel to tell a story that fans of the original movie know only in bits and pieces.
Another day, another casting announcement for HBO’ s Game Change , the movie about the 2008 presidential campaign. Woody Harrelson has been added to the apparent Oscar-nominee-only cast as Steve Schmidt, John McCain’s senior campaign strategist and adviser. Harrelson joins Ed Harris as McCain and Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in the Jay Roach film. Expect Sarah Palin to continue to belittle this project on Fox News. [ EW ]
