MOVIE REVIEW: Nancy, Please

May 24th, 2013 Justin Proper

Movie: Nancy, Please
Director: Andrew Semans
Writer: Will Heinrich, Andrew Semans
Studio: Small Coup Films

A simple case of writers block spirals out of control in slow motion in this drama laced with black humor.

We all know what it is like to feel stuck. Whether it is a paper you are having trouble writing for school, a painting you do not know how to finish, or even where to start on fixing your old car, we have all been there at some point. At it’s core, this is what Nancy, Please is all about, and that makes it a …

AFI DOCS Announces Lineup for this Year’s Documentary Film Festival

May 24th, 2013 Tyler Osborne

AFI DOCS (formerly known as AFI Silver Docs), released their schedule for this year’s film festival, and the list is filled with what we’re sure will be an amazing lineup of documentary films. Stationed in Washington, DC, AFI DOCS is the premiere documentary film festival on the East Coast, and is also considered one of the finest in the world. Generally, the Oscar winner for Best Documentary has a showing at this festival, so we think that’s pretty indicitave of the high standard that AFI DOCS holds their films to.

While we’re going to have a more in depth look …

Quicksilver Announced For ‘X-Men,’ But What About ‘The Avengers’?

May 24th, 2013 Kendra Beltran

Little by little the cast of X-Men: Days Of Future Past is being revealed thanks to its director Bryan Singer. This week he tweeted the new face of Quicksilver, Evan Peters.

Evan’s already got his parade of fangirls thanks to FX’s American Horror Story, but this role is about to take him to a whole new level. That’s all fine and dandy for Evan’s fanbase, but comic aficionados are wondering if Quicksilver being in the new X-Men, out July of next year, means that the character will be out of the next Avengers in 2015.

Avengers director Joss …

May 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Since bursting onto the national stage in 2006, Greta Gerwig has quickly carved a unique niche for herself in Hollywood that is equal parts elegance and fun. Her roles to date have found her foraying into relatively every genre imaginable, and in each instance she has delivered a performance worthy of praise. Her latest effort, Frances Ha, is no different. I had the chance to speak with Ms. Gerwig about her work on the film, as well as her plans for the future, earlier this week. Click below to read the highlights of our conversation.

‘The Human Centipede 3′ May Take Place In Prison

May 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Today, May 24, Tom Six and a crew of people with (hopefully) strong stomachs begin production on the long-gestating final installment of the now infamous Human Centipede franchise. Just days ago we brought you word the film would be shot in Los Angeles, and this morning we have a few new production details to share.

According to a source who spoke exclusively with Bloody-Disgusting, it seems the final piece of The Human Centipede saga will take place (and be filmed in) a prison. No further plot details slipped out just yet, but we are foaming from our horror-loving mouths …

MOVIE REVIEW: Fast & Furious 6

May 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: Fast & Furious 6
Starring: Vin Diesel, The Rock
Directed by: Justin Lin

Justin Lin is the savior mainstream action movies spent the first ten years of the new millennium searching for. Over the past two Fast & Furious films Lin has established a reputation for masterful execution of batshit insane action sequences, as well as a strong grasp on how to properly balance a handful of characters and storylines (even in the most ridiculous situations). His latest offering, Fast & Furious 6, is no different. In fact, it just may be his best work to date.…

Latest ‘Grown Ups 2′ Trailer Proves You Can Go Home Again

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

In the words of Bon Jovi, “Who says you can’t go home?”

A few years have passed since Adam Sandler and his crew of equally notable funny people delivered the family friendly smash Grown Ups, but this Summer the crew returns in an all new adventure aptly titled Grown Ups 2. This time, the guys have moved back home to New England, and the ensuing hijinks take place around the natural beauty of Massachusetts. You can view the latest trailer, which reveals a bit about the ‘end of school’ themed plot, at the end of this post.

Jason Sudeikis Smuggles Drugs In First Trailer For ‘We’re The Millers’

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

You know what family roadtrip movies have been missing? Fake families and drug deals.

The debut trailer for Rawson Thurber’s We’re The Millers has found its way online with a story that may actually be a first of its kind. Jason Sudeikis stars as a low-rent drug dealer who, after being told he must complete a mission from a drug lord, recruits a band of misfits to pretend to be his family for a wild roadtrip to the heart of Mexico. Jennifer Aniston, Will Poulter, and Emma Roberts round out the family, with Ed Helms and Nick Offerman making appearances …

MOVIE REVIEW: The Hangover Part III

May 23rd, 2013 James Shotwell

Film: The Hangover: Part III
Starring: Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong
Directed by: Todd Phillips

I would be lying if I said I left The Hangover: Part II with any desire to continue following the adventures of the Wolf Pack. The 2009 original had come out of nowhere to shock and amaze audiences worldwide, but the sequel and it’s thinly veiled redo of the original’s plot in a new locale simply did not work. The jokes were lazy, the crude humor felt forced, and it seemed no one could get over the feeling that it was all too familiar. In spite …
