Michelle Rodriguez Promo Still for Fast and the Furious 6 of the Day

The Fast and the Furious 6 exists….and these are the promo pics…as far as I’m concerned that’s a joke in and of itself….. I don’t know what is more alarming…the fact that the producers are putting millions of dollars into such shit movies…or the fact that people are watching these movies making it worth their while to bother with the shit… Maybe I just don’t get the subculture of modifying cars and watching 50 year old bald dudes drive them….while lesbians change their oil…. Either way, it’s funny.

Trailer: Albert Nobbs Really, Really, Really, Really Wants Some Oscars

Albert Nobbs star Glenn Close took a bit of a tumble in this week’s Oscar Index thanks in part to Michelle Williams’s surge and ongoing speculation around both Meryl Streep’s chances and Viola Davis’s staying power. So what better time to introduce the Nobbs trailer, a tidy, heartstring-tugging bit of awards-season gloss for a role whose actress may yet again find herself on the outside looking in?

REVIEW: Genial Birder Comedy The Big Year Ponders Life’s Big Questions, with Few Goofy Hijinks

The Big Year has such an overstuffed comedic cast that it’s a shock to realize how modest and unconcerned with generating broad laughs it is. Directed by David Frankel (of The Devil Wears Prada and Marley & Me ), produced by Ben Stiller and adapted from a book by former Denver Post reporter Mark Obmascik, The Big Year is only really a comedy in that it’s tonally light and doesn’t ever firmly commit in another direction. Mostly, it’s an earnest showcase for the subculture and annual circuit of competitive bird watching — the preferred term for the true devotees, apparently, is “birding” — in which the hardcore travel around the country hoping for sightings of as many species as possible, some keeping track (honor system only!) and submitting their final count to the North American Big Year contest.

Michael Caine on Harry Brown, Paycheck Roles and Why the British Do Dystopia Best

The grim, almost impossibly violent Harry Brown will no doubt draw endless comparisons to Dirty Harry and other risible exemplars of do-it-yourself crimefighting. But beyond the grit of the British projects where lawless hell descends, the film truly thrives in the quiet dignity afforded by leading man Michael Caine. Even as his ex-Marine title character goes to war against the subculture of hoodlums, addicts, dealers and thieves, the 77-year-old acting legend reinforces the bloodshed with purpose and gravitas. Clearly there’s a little something more going on here than just target practice; Brown’s mission to restore order is perhaps secondary only to Caine’s own to effect change.
