Posted on April 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

If you’d dismissed the upcoming Ginnifer Goodwin-Kate Hudson wedding-themed chick flick Something Borrowed as just another Bride Wars -esque lady comedy, think again; Something Borrowed tackles a subject that’s been on the minds of modern artists for decades — the moral lines between friendship, love, sex, and betrayal. Or, in the immortal words of hip-hop group Naughty by Nature, circa 1991, it’s about one concept in particular: O.P.P.

Would Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer Prize-Winning A Visit From the Goon Squad Make a Good Movie?

Posted on April 19, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Earlier today, Brooklyn author Jennifer Egan was awarded the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for A Visit From the Goon Squad . Set in New York City (mostly), Egan’s non-linear novel follows a cast of aging, self-destructive characters involved in or around the music industry and has been celebrated by Publishers Weekly , the New York Times and many other literary outlets. Now, Movieline wonders whether Goon Squad should follow in the footsteps of other Pulitzer Prize-winning novels like The Color Purple , The Hours and The Road and be adapted for the big screen.

Weekend Receipts: Rio Flips Ghostface The Bird From First Place

Posted on April 17, 2011 by | Leave a comment

For the third week in a row, chatty cartoon animals ruled the box office as the birds of Rio took the top spot with a blockbuster $40 million opening. Coming in a distant second place was the 90s nostalgia curio, Scream 4 , which netted a horrifying $19 million; you’ll recall that Scream 3 had a $34 million opening weekend and that was back when ticket prices were lower and this all used to be orange groves. And speaking of wayback when, Robert Redford’s The Conspirator opened in ninth place; sorry James McAvoy! I still love you, boo!. Your weekend receipts are here.

Posted on April 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

On Wednesday, it was reported that the National Association of Theatre Owners would protest the planned Home Premiere on-demand service that Warner Bros., Universal, Sony and Twentieth Century Fox are participating in by limiting the screen space offered to those studios during the busy summer months.

Latest Priest Trailer Highlights Copious Amounts of Vampire Killing

Posted on April 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

The long, arduous journey that Priest has taken to theatrical release is fairly well-documented (check out Jen Yamato’s report on the matter — and the exciting footage Team Priest debuted at WonderCon — here ), but now that the film is just about one month away from release, all that red tape can be forgotten. Taking its place? Some awesome vampire killing!

TRAILER: Could Passion Play Be the Megan Fox/Mickey Rourke Trainwreck You’ve Been Waiting for?

Posted on April 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

After a troubled, 20-year road from script-development to screen, Passion Play is coming to select theaters. Then, just in case you blink, it will hit DVD three weeks later . Word of mouth out of Toronto was that the film was a disaster, and the theater-to-DVD release window pretty much backs that up. But after watching the trailer, I can’t help but wonder: Can a film with Mickey Rourke falling in love with an angel played by Megan Fox while trying not to get killed by Bill Murray be totally worthless?

Posted on April 11, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Ethan Wayne, the son of John, has announced that John Wayne Enterprises will be auctioning off a huge collection of John Wayne memorabilia this Fall. True, the prices are expected to reach amounts as high as $50,000, but in comparison to say, a life-size Darth Vader, many of these items are actually functional and practical, and could potentially improve the owner’s life many times over! Let’s take a closer look.
