The Reason Transformers: Dark of the Moon Should Have Been Rated R

Spoiler alert and all, but still: truth. “And now the Chicago genocide began. We saw no less than 17 fleeing citizens disintegrated by attacking Decepticons into blood fog. Then, in a big set-piece action scene, 14 more people were disintegrated. At that point, the freaking Autobots finally decided to show up, and they freaking pulled off a Decepticon’s limbs. Now, if this movie was rated R and actually awesome, they would have beaten the Decepticon to death with his own arms and legs. Stupid PG-13 rating.” [ EW ]

Patrick Wilson on The Ledge, Reckless Faith, and Visions of Ted Bundy

The last few years have seen Patrick Wilson travel the hero route ( Watchmen ), the villain route ( The A-Team ), the romantic-lead route ( Morning Glory ), the romantic-foil route ( The Switch ), the beset-father route ( Insidious ) and the indie title-character route ( Barry Munday ). The versatile actor takes a road far less traveled in The Ledge , playing a religious zealot from under whose thumb his wife (Liv Tyler) squirms into an affair with the godless heathen next door (Charlie Hunnam). The triangle prompts a stand-off on the titular ledge, where a despondent cop (Terrence Howard) attempts to talk the heathen down. Sound crazy? It is! But in a good way.

Is Shia LaBeouf the New Michael J. Fox?

In 2007, a dapper young star named Shia LaBeouf appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair next to an interesting caption: “Can Hollywood Turn 21-Year-Old Shia LaBeouf Into the Next Tom Hanks?” Provocative. Of course, LaBeouf’s career shifted from that of a Hanks-ian, potential Oscar nominee to the domain of a de rigueur action star. The youngster may not have followed Vanity Fair ‘s wish list since starring in the first Transformers film, but maybe he scored a more interesting feat — becoming our generation’s Michael J. Fox.

Watch Baby-Wielding Jessica Alba Kick Ass in Ridiculous Spy Kids: All the Time in the World Trailer

If you had to sit through Robert Rodriguez’s Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over , there’s a good chance you will be forced to see the fourth installment of the Spy Kids franchise when it premieres Aug. 19. Unfortunately for you, Sylvester Stallone will not be reprising his role as the unintentionally hilarious villain toymaker, and even more unfortunately, not even Jessica Alba , Joel McHale, Ricky Gervais and the movie’s Aromascope feature will be able to save the latest Spy Kids movie All the Time in the World from kid-approved ridiculousness. At least, that’s what the latest trailer makes it seem like.

Diablo Cody Will Make Her Directorial Debut with Lady Sinner Comedy Lamb of God

Oscar-winning Juno scribe Diablo Cody will make her directorial debut with Lamb of God , about a conservative woman who loses her faith and goes to Las Vegas to sin it up — which kind of sounds like Kristen Wiig’s character from Paul , only (let’s hope!) even naughtier. Cody also wrote the script and will re-team with producer Mason Novick, who produced Cody-penned films Juno , Jennifer’s Body , and the forthcoming Jason Reitman -directed comedy Young Adult .
