Olivia Munn In Negotiations to Join Beefcake Cast of Magic Mike

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It appears Steven Soderbergh has taken a break from casting calendar-worthy leading men in his stripper drama Magic Mike and is focusing on some pin-up women. Deadline reports that Olivia Munn is in talks to join the film, as a possible love interest for Channing Tatum. Va-va-vooom , said everyone. In addition to Tatum, and possibly Munn, Mike stars Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matt Bomer and Joe Manganiello. Wipe up that drool; your Wednesday Buzz Break has arrived.

Elizabeth Olsen on Martha Marcy May Marlene and Growing Up in Hollywood

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

One of the biggest discoveries you’ll make this year — and one of this fall’s class of neophyte Oscar contenders — is 22-year-old Elizabeth Olsen . The younger sister of Mary-Kate and Ashley may have earned her first credits as a child actor in her siblings’ tween franchise-building movies, but she launches her very serious film career this October in the Sundance award-winning Martha Marcy May Marlene , Sean Durkin’s deeply observed drama-thriller about a shell-shocked young woman (Olsen) who reunites with her family after spending years under the influence of a sexually-abusive cult.

Bromantic Shenanigans Get Dark in Exclusive Images from I Melt With You

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I Melt With You , Mark Pellington ‘s dark — and I mean way dark — meditation on midlife crises and male bonding, proved to be decidedly difficult stuff for many critics Sundance Film Festival debut last January. Back then I wrote in favor of giving its existential punk romanticism a chance to make its case (especially if you’re a fan of folks like Jeremy Piven , who turns in a great face-melting performance). You’ll finally get your chance to weigh in on the IMWY debate this fall as the film makes its way to VOD and limited theatrical release; get in the spirit with three new stills that highlight the trajectory of Thomas Jane, Rob Lowe, Christian McKay, and Piven’s bromantic weekend of horrors.

Parks and Recreation’s Chris Pratt on the Hilarious Third Season and the Surprise of Rob Lowe

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It was good to be an American last week. After all, not only did Parks and Recreation return to NBC after eight months on the shelf, but people actually watched — the season three premiere was Parks and Recreation ‘s highest rated episode yet. That was great news for everyone, but especially Chris Pratt. As you may have noticed, the premiere featured an extended “previously on” clip package to open the show, highlighting the unrequited love between Pratt’s Andy and Aubrey Plaza’s April. He’s rapidly becoming Pawnee’s answer to Jim Halpert, with 100 percent more flannel.

The Case For Mark Pellington’s Sundance Offender I Melt With You

Posted on January 26, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The mass walkouts were the first indication that Mark Pellington’s I Melt with You was heading for a rocky Sundance reception; even critics who’d made it through couldn’t wait to spill out into the hallways and let the vitriol fly. I Melt with You was, effectively, the first hands-down bomb of the festival. But does Pellington’s midlife-crisis male-bonding thriller — which was picked up today by Magnolia Pictures — deserve all the flack?
