| Official Soul Surfer Movie Trailer Posted: 28 Jan 2011 05:26 PM PST ` A couple weeks ago a teaser trailer was released for the upcoming biopic Soul Surfer, and as the title suggests — it’s about surfing. Well, it’s more of a combination of surfing and perseverance over a horrifying ordeal. The film refers to the lead character as played by AnnaSophia Robb, who stars as the real teenager (Bethany Hamilton) who caught America’s attention when the unthinkable happened to her she was while catching a wave. The official trailer for Soul Surfer has been released, check it out and you’ll see exactly what we mean…
In this version of the trailer, they actually show the partial arm. In the teaser, they were hiding it as if they were waiting for a big reveal. We all know what happens to it. The poor girl’s story was all over the news. To get the look, the actress had to wear a green sleeve on her arm, which they edited out later. The CGI isn’t the greatest in the world but it serves its purpose. The film also stars Dennis Quaid, Helen Hunt, Carrie Underwood, Jeremy Sumpter, and Kevin Sorbo. It's scheduled to hit theaters on April 8. What do you think of the trailer for Soul Surfer? Related Posts

| Spartacus Star Lucy Lawless To Appear on No Ordinary Family Posted: 28 Jan 2011 04:43 PM PST
Did you catch the premiere of “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” the other week? The prequel was a breakout hit just like its predecessor “Blood & Sand” and it reacquainted us with some familiar faces including Lucy Lawless. The New Zealander has some time off before production on season two begins and she’s spending it moonlighting on another network. According to TVLine, Lawless will appear in a multi-episode arc on ABC’s “No Ordinary Family.”
Sources have exclusively told the site that ABC has tapped Lawless to guest star in at least five episodes of the sci-fi comedy series. The actress will “play a powerful woman and potential adversary for the Powell clan whose agenda could put the family in danger.”Her stint on “Family” is expected to carry on until the end of the season. The network is hoping that she’ll give the show a much needed boost. Hopefully Lawless’ appearance will also earn the show a second season pick-up. The actress has a hardcore group of fans and we’re a part of them. We’ve followed her from “Hercules,” to “Xena,” to “Tarzan,” to “Battlestar Gallactica,” to “Spartacus,” and now “No Ordinary Family.” We’ll be there with bells on! Will you tune in to watch Lawless on the show? Related Posts

| Two and a Half Men Going on Hiatus While Charlie Sheen Recovers Posted: 28 Jan 2011 04:07 PM PST
Over the past year, Charlie Sheen has been dealing with some serious professional and personal issues. Both worlds seem to overlap with each other and now they’ve finally come to ahead. According to several reports, the actor has entered rehab, which will cause his hit TV show “Two and a Half Men” to go on hiatus.
According to Sheen’s publicist Stan Rosenfield, “Charlie Sheen has voluntarily entered an undisclosed rehabilitation center today," the rep said in a statement Friday. "He is most grateful to all who have expressed their concern." Pending his return, production on “Two and a Half Men,” will cease. CBS also released a statement reacting to Sheen’s decision, offering their support for the actor despite the stalling of the show.
This news follows earlier reports that claimed Sheen was being hospitalized for "abdominal pain." We’re not sure how many of you still watch his show but if you do, sorry. Get ready for reruns or a mid-season replacement. In all seriousness, we hope Sheen finally gets the help he needs. What do you think of CBS’ decision to shut down Two and a Half Men? Could they have worked around it? Source: TVLine Related Posts

| Glee’s Lea Michele to Sing at The Super Bowl Posted: 28 Jan 2011 03:14 PM PST
We thought Super Bowl Sunday was all about football and you know, the Super Bowl? The coveted date sports fans wait all year for is slowly but surely turning into a night of glee, not the emotion, the TV show “Glee!” Yesterday we posted some photos from the post-game episode of the series, which will feature lots of football, and a awesome mash-up of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.” But it doesn’t stop there, according to Reuters, Lea Michele has been tapped to sing before the big game.
We know what you’re thinking: what will she do? Several days ago we learned that Christina Aguilera had been chosen to sing the National Anthem for the Super Bowl, so Michele’s definitely out for that. Instead, she’ll belt out “America the Beautiful.” The Super Bowl is known to draw an average of over 100 million viewers so we’re hoping that both ladies can handle the pressure. A couple years ago Aguilera sang the National Anthem at a NBA finals game and it was not her best work. Maybe it was nerves? The Super Bowl airs on Fox, Sunday February 6. What do you think of Michele performing prior to the big game? What do you think of all the Glee influence on Super Bowl Sunday? Related Posts

| Sundance 2011: Focus Buys Festival Favorite ‘Pariah’ Posted: 28 Jan 2011 02:47 PM PST
Not only has this been a year of amazing premieres at Sundance 2011, but it’s also been a year for sales. Almost every film that was in the “In Competition” section has been sold — and that’s not to even get started with all the rest. While I was crying my eyes out in Pariah (read Brendan Walsh’s review) and watching the director Dee Rees get yet another standing ovation for her final showing of the film, Focus Features was busy shaking hands with someone because by the time I exited the theater, there was big news…
Focus Features has officially acquired worldwide rights to the contemporary drama Pariah, which has been receiving amazing reviews from critics and is definitely a contender for the audiences pick for best drama of the film. The film came from first time writer/director Dee Rees and a cast of “unknowns” who’ll you’ll want to start paying attention to. A couple of year ago Dee came to Sundance with her short film for Pariah, was able to catch the attention of investors and receive backing from Spike Lee who signed on as the films executive producer and helped see it through until its world-premiere as an “In Competition” film this past week. And this won’t be the last time we hear from Dee, in tandem with the Pariah acquisition, Focus has engaged her to write another screenplay for them to release. The script deal “is for a new feature-length film that the writer/director would conceive.” Sounds like a good idea! Get her while she’s hot! Find out more about the film below:

| Geoff Stults Lands Lead in Fox’s Bones Spin-Off Posted: 28 Jan 2011 02:29 PM PST
Who’s going to take the quirky humor of “Bones” into a new direction next year? Geoff Stults that’s who! The actor has landed the lead role in the series spin-off that Fox is producing. According to TVLine, the “Happy Town” and “7th Heaven” alum beat out a solid group of actors to become the show’s headliner.
The website reports that Stults will appear in the pilot of the show, which will be aired as the 19th episode of “Bones” this season. Watch out for that. The new show is based on The Locator, a two book series written by Richard Greener. The story centers on Walter Sherman aka "the Locator," a former military policeman who can find anything. It was previously announced that Walter’s partner will be played by Oscar nominee Michael Clarke Duncan. Duncan’s character’s name is Leo, a tough, raw-hide cowboy philosopher. That will be a sight to see. We’re happy to hear that Duncan is getting work that’s worthy of his talent. He’s been slipping in the quality department for the past eight years. It’s time for a change. What do you think of Stults landing the lead in the Bones spin-off? Will you watch? Related Posts

| Focus Features Acquires Spike Lee Produced Pariah Posted: 28 Jan 2011 01:29 PM PST
Focus Features has just announced their latest purchase from this year’s Sundance Film Festival. It’s called Pariah and it comes from first time writer-director Dee Rees. The film was executive produced by Spike Lee and its a truly unique and telling coming of age story about a teenage African-American woman.
Via the press release:
Where has Kim Wayans been hiding? During the nineties she was almost as prominent as her older and younger brothers, and then she disappeared. We’re happy to see her in the spotlight again. It’s also great that Spike Lee took the time to reach out and mentor an up and comer with their first major project. That mentorship is exactly what the Sundance Film Festival is supposed to be about. Amongst all of the quirky, surprising, comedic, and dramatic films that have debuted at the festival this year, Pariah definitely has a voice and a tone all its own.

| Michael C. Hall and Rainn Wilson in Peep World Trailer Posted: 28 Jan 2011 12:47 PM PST
Are you ready for another awesome off-beat ensemble comedy? Do you want to see Michael C. Hall step away from his intense “Dexter-persona” for something a little lighter? If you answered yes, you’re in luck. The award winning actor appears in the upcoming film Peep World, which takes the dysfunctional family comedy to a whole other level. Check out the trailer…
Peep World was recently picked up by IFC Films and it looks like a safe bet. The film has a talented cast and it looks hilarious. The movie centers on a family in turmoil after the youngest sibling writes a successful book that airs out their dirty secrets. The cast includes Ron Rifkin, Rainn Wilson, Sarah Silverman, Ben Schwartz, Taraji P. Henson, Judy Greer, Kate Mara and Stephen Tobolowsky. We’re happy to see Ben Schwartz in a lead role in a feature film. He was the only entertaining part of the now defunct series “Undercovers.” We’re happy we can get out comedic fix somewhere else. Peep World’s release date is currently listed as coming soon. What do you think of the trailer for Peep World? Source: Yahoo Movies Related Posts

| Mark Waters to Direct Get Back, The Beatles Time Traveling Movie Posted: 28 Jan 2011 11:57 AM PST
Mark Waters just can’t stay away from good material. The Mean Girls and Freaky Friday helmer is in talks direct a feature based on The Beatles. We’re talking Paul, John, George, and Ringo, on the big screen — well not exactly. According to Variety, Waters will direct Get Back, a time traveling film that will show just how far a pair of fans will go to keep their favorite band together.
The trade reports that the story of Get Back centers on two die hard Beatles fans, who discover a time machine and decide to prevent the meeting of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. They feel that their relationship is what caused the group to break up and they want to prevent it from ever happening. The screenplay was written my Chris McCoy. Production on the film is slated to begin late this summer in London, but before then he has to finish his upcoming feature Mr. Popper’s Penguins. It’s the live action adaptation of the children’s book of the same name that features Jim Carrey in the title role. What do you think of the premise of Get Back?

| Mia Wasikowska Joins Chan-wook Park’s Stoker Posted: 28 Jan 2011 11:27 AM PST
Alice in Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska is negotiations to appear in a thriller called Stoker according to Deadline. What makes Stoker so special? The film’s screenplay was written by actor Wentworth Miller aka Michael from “Prison Break” aka Chris from Resident Evil: Afterlife.
Aside from Miller’s involvement Chan-wook Park will direct the film that previously had Carey Mulligan and Jodie Foster set to star. Unfortunately, neither of them are attached at this point. Stoker centers on “an eccentric teen whose enigmatic and estranged uncle returns to the family after the death of the girl's father. Strange things begin to happen.” This sounds like another tale about creepy uncles. Why do uncles always get the bad end of the stick? Miller also wrote Uncle Charlie, a prequel that explores another chapter in the history of a family with a knack for burying secrets as well as bodies. Someone’s really into this family! Stoker will be produced by Tony and Ridley Scott. Wasikowska also stars in the period drama Jane Eyre, which is an adaptation of the popular novel. That film is due out later this year. What do you think of Wasikowska joining Stoker? Is she the right fit? Related Posts

| Nikita: Season 1 Episode 12: Free – TV Review Posted: 28 Jan 2011 09:55 AM PST
She’s back! After more than a month away “Nikita” has returned from winter hiatus. The show picks up shortly after it left off with Alex becoming an agent, and getting some new digs. Unfortunately, one of the downsides to her new civilian status includes a deadly accessory that could end her life at the push of a button! Check out our review…
The Players:
Episode Title: “Free”After being promoted to field agent, Division inserts a tracking device into Alex’s cerebral cortex. Nikita realizes that the chip has a kill switch and can give Alex a brain aneurysm at any time. In order to remove the device, she teams up with C.I.A. analyst Ryan (the guy she saved a couple episodes back), to kidnap Birkoff and force him to give her the password to his computer so she can disarm the chip. The Good:
The Bad:
Overall:This week’s episode of “Nikita” was good but not great. It was just used as a filler to kick-start several new storylines including Ryan and Nathan. Two new guys. Two new conflicts. Rating: 8/10“Nikita” airs Thursdays on The CW at 9 PM. Photo Gallery:     What did you think of this week’s episode of Nikita? Related Posts

| Community: Season 2 Episode 13: Celebrity Pharmacology 212 – TV Review Posted: 28 Jan 2011 09:13 AM PST
Anti-drug messages on TV tend to be “very special episodes” that drastically depart from the show’s style and tone in order to tell kids that “hey, drugs are bad.” But “Community” rarely plays by the same rules other TV shows do, and although there is an anti-drug message here it never feels “special” thanks in large part to screaming men in clown wigs and inappropriate text messages. Intrigued? Read on to find out the details.
The Players:
Episode Title: "Celebrity Pharmacology"The study group is putting on an anti-drug performance at Annie’s request, and Pierce (playing the part of drugs) is annoyed because he has no lines. He later finds out that Annie desperately needs money, and writes her a check so he can get a better part…although in typical Pierce fashion, he ends up going crazy with all the power and attention he’s getting. Meanwhile, Jeff sends a sexy text message on Britta’s behalf only for it to go horribly, horribly wrong. Annie has to figure out what to do as Pierce is making drugs look cool, while Jeff desperately tries to resolve his mistake. The Good:
The Bad:
The Quotable:
Overall:Although the side stories were uneven and disappointing, the main plot of this week’s episode was more than engaging enough to keep us watching. The Chang performance is a must-see scene. Rating: 8/10New episodes air Thursdays at 8 PM on NBC! Photo Gallery:      What did you think of this week’s episode of Community? Related Posts
