Currently Browsing: "Joseph Gordon-Levitt"

My love affair with Women In Trouble continues with a slightly mainstreamed-up trailer that gives just a taste of the mayhem. And a taste of the porn stars. And a taste of mild auto accidents.

For a while we’ve thought that Akira was dead, but now his friends are resurrecting him and taking him in blob form into production starting in 2010.

Kevin Carr breaks down the week’s releases, looking at G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Julie & Julia, and A Perfect Getaway.

Kevin throws some hatred Neil’s way for being one of the few critics in the country to be allowed to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. They put their differences aside for a brief moment to discuss the alien holocaust movie known as Julie & Julia.

Paramount Pictures has released the full press kit for next week’s release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. Included in said press kit was 28 high resolution photos from the film and the production.

Some of our loves have ended, some are still going strong, and some were never meant to be. If we’re lucky though, we might just get a memorable dance number or two along the way.

Kevin Carr reviews this week’s new movies: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and (500) Days of Summer.

Fox Searchlight has unleashed this weekend the full release schedule for one of my favorite films of the year, the Sundance darling 500 Days of Summer, which stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel as a not-so-ordinary ordinary couple whose story is told in a very unique way.

If you think I have something positive to say about this abomination known as “The Doctor” I’m going to punch some sense into you.

Another new trailer for the Paramount Pictures release G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra has hit the ole interwebs today, courtesy of someone who wanted us to see it before it is available in HD from one of the usual sources.

The folks at Empire have unleashed the first international poster for Paramount’s upcoming toy line adaptation G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, and to say the least it is certainly a tale of two colors.

Shelved! will be a very infrequent feature here at FSR where we briefly examine possible reasons as to why the film was buried then review the movie to see if it was shelved with good cause or if it deserves a space on your shelf. This week… Killshot starring Mickey Rourke!

Like LL Cool J said, “Don’t call it a comeback. The Early Edition’s been here for weeks.” Or something like that.

Those of you who don’t think that you have enough Joseph Gordon-Levitt in your life, just be patient. Not only does he have two big flicks coming this summer, he’s also looking to get high profile in 2010.

If you are a sucker for a manic pixie dream girl, or just Zooey Deschanel in general, then this is going to be your movie of 2009.

A few days ago my good friend Erik Davis posted this over at Cinematical — and all at once I was hit with nostalgia. Just a week ago (or so) I was sitting at the Eccles Theater in Park City, Utah enjoying a little bit of time with the undeniably charming film 500 Days of Summer.

Just when you thought it couldn’t get worse for the production of Stephen Sommers’ G.I. Joe movie… this happens. For all of you who still think that hope is not lost, prepare to let it slip away…

Since our arrival in the snowy mountains of Utah I, along with many other temporary transplants from around the world, have been puzzled about one thing: the weather. It has been uncharacteristically warm and sunny in Park City, almost to the point of robbing us of that frigidity that makes it feel like Sundance. No one has been able to explain it, not even the weatherman. At least, not until now.

We’ve been checking out a ton of trailers lately, and this one hit us from left field. Like a baseball to the head. Except the good version of that.

Although the picture is occasionally compelling and has hints of honesty, the script by Pierce and co-writer Mark Richard is a one-way ticket to nowhere.
