Shu Qi Gets All Punchy In New Stills From Stephen Chow's JOURNEY TO THE WEST

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 09:30 PM PST

While there is little denying that the second teaser for Stephen Chow's Journey To The West has left us little more than nonplussed with dodgy CGI, the one thing that did look good about that teaser was Shu Qi. And to satisfy our pining for more Shu Qi we have a collection of stills from the film to share with you that feature the Tawainese stunner. And if the production can start work on a third teaser and collection of stills featuring Zhang Wen it would mean a lot to me personally. And if they want to throw in a fourth featuring Chrissy Chow I am sure no one else would protest either. ...

Review: DABANGG 2 Is Not Even The Best Salman Khan Film of 2012

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 09:00 PM PST

Salman Khan lit up the Hindi film world back in 2010 with his retro masala box office juggernaut, Dabangg. The film was a combination of old school Bollywood action cinema and new school tech that many had tried before, but none had really successfully accomplished. Even Khan himself tried reviving the old style the year before with Prabhu Deva's Wanted, but audiences didn't respond with anywhere near the vigor of the Dabangg crowd. It was the latter film that went on to fuel the new south-Indian/'80s Bollywood influenced masala flood that's saturated north Indian cinema screens in the two years since. Films like Singham, Rowdy Rathore, Khan's own Bodyguard, and too many more to mention have basked in the glow of Dabangg and gone on...

First Image From Edgar Wright's THE WORLD'S END Revealed!

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 11:40 AM PST

This morning from his Twitter account (likely early afternoon his time), Simon Pegg dropped the first image from The World's End, the final chapter in Edgar Wright's and his Cornetto Trilogy. It features all the lads out and about on their second epic pub crawl. Left to right we have Nick Frost, Eddie Marsan (Sherlock Holmes and The Disappearance of Alice Creed), Simon Pegg, Paddy Considine (Dead Man's Shoes and Hot Fuzz), and Martin Freeman (The Hobbit and Hot Fuzz). In The World's End, 20 years after attempting an epic pub crawl, five childhood friends reunite when one of them becomes hellbent on trying the drinking marathon again. They are convinced to stage an encore by mate Gary King (Simon Pegg), a 40-year-old man trapped at...

Poster Debut: Yen Tan's Sundance-Bound Small-Town Drama PIT STOP

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 08:00 AM PST

Soon to premiere at the Sundance Film Festival, Yen Tan's Pit Stop has its first poster, designed by the filmmaker himself, and we're pleased to present its debut. Pit Stop is the third feature film from Tan, who I first met when I was volunteering at the Asian Film Festival of Dallas in 2002. He's an incredibly talented filmmaker and graphic designer, down-to-earth and modest, yet determined to stay the course and make personal films that resonate widely. Here's the description of Pit Stop from the Sundance film guide: Recovering from an ill-fated affair with a married man, Gabe finds solace in the relationship he maintains with his ex-wife and daughter. On the other side of town, Ernesto evades life at home with his current...

Opening: Tom Cruise as JACK REACHER, Antihero

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 06:01 AM PST

Tom Cruise has played larger-than-life characters before, but can he effectively portray a fictional character described as six foot, five inches tall, a monster of a man with a 50-inch chest? More importantly, can he convey the inner life of a former military policeman, now living the life of a drifter who disdains all material possessions? Based on One Shot, the ninth entry in a series of novels by Lee Child, Jack Reacher has been adapted for the screen and directed by Christopher McQuarrie (writer of The Usual Suspects, director of The Way of the Gun), and, according to our own Kwenton Bellette, the film succeeds: Jack Reacher is probably best-described as an action mystery, but in truth it traverses many genres, and ultimately treads...

Terror and Tragedy! Watch the Victims' Farewell Messages In THE TOWER

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 05:00 AM PST

To win attention for the Korean blockbuster disaster film The Tower, CJ Entertainment is playing up the sentimental card in full force with two special videos that have a heartfelt animated sequence and a tear-jerking "last message" from the victims trapped inside the burning building. It may damper the happy holiday mood, but it's no less an effective marketing strategy. Mr. JO is making plans for a "White Christmas" party for tenants and VIPs at Tower Sky, the super-luxurious landmark building complex he owns in Seoul. Part of the event will involve helicopters circling above, sprinkling snow on everyone below. Dae-ho, the single father and manager of the building, is an earnest employee liked by his colleagues and loved by his only daughter Ha-na. He...
