MOVIE REVIEW: Pain & Gain

April 26th, 2013 Justin Proper

Movie: Pain & Gain
Director: Michael Bay
Writers: Christopher Markus, Stephen McFeely
Studios: De Line Pictures, Platinum Dunes

Pain & Gain is a visually striking film with colorful characters, big action, and decent comedy that will leave you wanting a better workout for your brain.

Based on a true story. Those words seemed to be tagged on at the beginning of nearly every single movie these days. Slews of horror films are “based on a true story” and even last year’s best picture, Argo, was. So when you hear those words these days it is hard to get excited. …

BRING BACK THE 80s: Mark Wahlberg Would Reunite With The Funky Bunch To Benefit Boston Bombing Victims

April 24th, 2013 James Shotwell

Last month, TMZ gained a tiny of bit of traction running a story that The Funky Bunch would be willing to reunite with actor Mark Wahlberg in the future if he so desired. We didn’t run the story at the time because, to be honest, we didn’t necessarily find it surprising that a group who never took off without Marky Mark would be willing to welcome him back with open arms. That was, of course, before Wahlberg hinted that it could actually happen.

Leaving an appearance in Virginia earlier today, TMZ spoke with the Pain & Gain star briefly …

EDITORIAL: “Ted: How a Foul-Mouthed Teddy Bear Broke Box Office Records”

July 2nd, 2012 Boris Paskhaver

The man who made his name in raunchy comedy is once again laughing his way to the bank. Family Guy creator Seth MacFarlane’s first motion picture, the R-rated Ted, opened to a stellar $54.1 million this weekend, exceeding studio expectations by $10-15 million. The result places the comedy, which finds tough guy Mark Wahlberg struggling to balance the challenges of adult life with the demands of his crude, talking teddy bear, in 8th place on the list of highest opening weekends for an R-rated flick. When sequels (Matrix Reloaded, Hangover II, Paranormal Activity 3, Hannibal) …

MOVIE REVIEW: Contraband

January 13th, 2012 James Shotwell

Film: Contraband
Starring: Mark Wahlberg
Directed by: Baltasar Kormákur

January is typically a time for studios to dump movies they either have little faith in or simply do not know how to sell. Not gritty enough to win over young crowds, but not quite clean enough to challenge the likes of Mission Impossible, Contraband is the perfect example of this type of film. It is an American take on a foreign film it’s safe to say 99% of the population has never heard of, but filled with enough cliches that the characters feel familiar. Is it enough to risk …
