The Weinstein Brothers Reportedly Paid ‘Hush Money’ to Keep Lawsuit from Toppling The King’s Speech?

Posted on March 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Colin Firth isn’t the only person with a voice. The New York Post brings news of a “bombshell” lawsuit from the makers of Hoodwinked that alleges Harvey and Bob Weinstein paid them $500,000 in “hush money” to keep the suit under wraps until after The King’s Speech won its Oscars. Considering the news of said legal documents are just coming out now, though, doesn’t it seem to have worked?

You know how Charlie Sheen’s sons were removed from his home early on Wednesday morning, after the Two and a Half Men actor threatened to cut the head off his estranged wife Brooke Mueller, “put it in a box and send it to [her] mom”? Well, apparently she was not the only person whose life Sheen threatened to brutally end in the past 36 hours. Winning?

TRAILER: Get Excited For Porno Melodrama!

Posted on March 2, 2011 by | Leave a comment

First things first: No one around here condones homophobia or any legislation under its influence, and generally speaking, any statement against said legislation is one worth backing. But that’s not why I’m pumped for the short film Porno Melodrama , which purports to be a direct reaction to institutionalized hate in Lithuania. I’m pumped because holy Christ this trailer .

What If We Reinvented Awards Season As a Playoff Tournament?

Posted on February 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Has awards season become a tad repetitive for your tastes? Sure, the recent surge by The King’s Speech over The Social Network is exciting, I suppose, but at this point how many awards can we see Natalie Portman and Colin Firth win against basically the same competition before we all collectively throw up our hands and say, “OK, we get it. Can we just move on to the Oscars now? Or at least try something different ?” Here’s an idea: What if every single awards ceremony were important?

Return of the ‘Pack: The Teaser Trailer for The Hangover Part II Debuts with Help from Jay-Z

Posted on February 24, 2011 by | Leave a comment

When the trailer for Bruno debuted in 2009 , Universal tried to sell audiences on the critical love for Sacha Baron Cohen’s previous summer comedy, Borat . It didn’t work. Cut to 2011, and here comes Warner Bros. using a similar strategy in the first teaser for The Hangover Part II (it looks like those Roman numerals are part of the official title), which uses quotes about the first film to fill up much of the trailer’s length. Is this highly anticipated sequel doomed to face a Bruno -like box office fate?

Can You Honestly Tell the Difference Between Glee and Kidz Bop’s ‘Tik Tok’?

Posted on February 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

This Glee show that Julie likes is out of control. It’s unfunny, witlessly tone-shifty, and a pox on this Golden Age of Television that keeps happening. Also, the “music” is scathing! Case in point: In the musical preview for next week’s episode, we hear the show’s clear-best character Brittany lead Ke$ha’s “Tik Tok.” Compare that rendition to the Kidz Bop Kids version and tell me if there’s really any difference (besides the awesomely kid-friendly lyrics).

Fanboys Rejoice! Shane Black to Direct, Maybe Pen Iron Man 3

Posted on February 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Writer-director Shane Black is reportedly in negotiations to direct Iron Man 3 , taking over from series helmer Jon Favreau for the threequel, which is already slated for release on May 3, 2013. But hey, no pressure! Two years should be plenty of time for the guy who wrote Lethal Weapon in six weeks. Besides, Black’s got plenty of qualifications that should inspire fanboy confidence. Such as:

Report: Mila Kunis to Join James Franco in Sam Raimi’s Oz

Posted on February 18, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Everyone’s favorite Oscar-snubbee Mila Kunis is reportedly set to join Sam Raimi’s Oz, the Great and Powerful , the lonnnnng-gestating Wizard of Oz prequel with James Franco attached as the title character. Kunis would play Evanorah, the young witch-in-training who develops into the Wicked Witch of the East. Of course. Shooting is rumored to begin in July, but I think we all know Raimi’s protracted dawdling really portends an awesome Oz / Sex and the City 3 Memorial Day showdown in 2016. Or something. [ Vulture ]
