New Netflix Pricing Plans Will Upset You

Posted on July 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It looks like you’re going to have to mail that copy of Crash back to Netflix. The online rental site announced new pricing plans on Tuesday, which effectively phase out DVD s for the frugal consumer. Gone is the unlimited streaming plus one DVD for $9.99 per month option, replaced with two separate $7.99 options — one for DVD s and one for streaming. If subscribers want the choice of both, the package costs $15.98. Begin shaking your fist at the sky… now. [ The Netflix Blog ]

Elizabeth Banks Added to What to Expect When You’re Expecting

Posted on July 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

What to Expect When You’re Expecting wouldn’t be an ensemble rom-com in the vein of He’s Just Not That Into You and Valentine’s Day without a cast of dozens. As such: Elizabeth Banks is the latest actress to sign on, joining Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Brooklyn Decker and Anna Kendrick. Banks will star as a “baby-crazy” expectant mother and children’s book writer who has militant views on breast feeding. Sounds not too screechy at all. [ Coming Soon ]

Colin Hanks on Lucky, Kickstarting His Tower Records Doc, and Supporting Chet Haze

Posted on July 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

With his nice guy looks and demeanor, Colin Hanks has played a lot of, well, nice guys over the years. But in Gil Cates, Jr.’s Lucky , in limited release this week, the 33-year-old actor and neophyte documentarian throws that image for a loop as Ben, a meek Midwesterner who wins a $36 million lottery jackpot, marries his dream girl ( Ari Graynor )… and just so happens to be a serial killer.

It looks like Arnold is back. Again. [ Deadline ]

In Honor of 7-Eleven’s Birthday, A Brief History of Convenience Stores in Movies

Posted on July 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It’s the unofficial 84th birthday of our favorite chain convenience store, 7-Eleven , meaning two things: First, you’re entitled to a free Slurpee (at all participating locations) and second, it’s as good a time as any to look back at some of the best scenes set in 7-Eleven-like establishments in movie history. Who knew that one-stop-shop marts were appropriate settings for pregnancy scares, super-human cyborgs, Michael Bay-directed hold-ups and most frightening of all, a skinny, ’90s era Alec Baldwin in a track suit?

James Franco Sounds Excited About Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Posted on July 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

It seems Oscar producers weren’t the only people James Franco threw under the bus in his new Playboy interview. “They haven’t shown me the movie yet, so I don’t know what the result is,” Franco said about Rise of the Planet of the Apes . “I did reshoots, and it sounds to me the final movie will be different from the screenplay, which had a lot of character development. The movie seems to be more action now. I went and did my job, and I’m supposed to be a scientist. I feel pretty confident that I did that.” [ Playboy ]

Which Former Donkey Kong World Champ Inspired Colin Farrell’s Horrible Bosses Character?

Posted on July 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As Jason Sudeikis ‘s coke-snorting, kung fu-practicing, pot-bellied new supervisor in Horrible Bosses , which notched an impressive number 2 box office slot last weekend, second to Michael Bay ‘s 3-D robotstravaganza Transformers: Dark of the Moon , Colin Farrell is a revelation of douchebag assholery, the last person you’d want above you in the workplace food chain. (Well, one of them.) But which former gaming world champion deserves credit for loosely inspiring portions of Farrell’s characterization — and could Farrell portray this muse one day on the big screen?
