‘Catching Fire’ Survives Against Box Office Newcomers

Catching Fire‘s ongoing box office success has not yet ceased since the sequel’s debut last weekend. There were a few different top ten newcomers this thanksgiving weekend, but none came as close to matching Catching Fire‘s $74.5 million dollar gross as much as Disney’s latest animated film, Frozen, which is currently estimated to earn about […]

MOVIE REVIEW: ‘Homefront’

Film: Homefront Director: Gary Fleder Writers: Sylvester Stallone, Chuck Logan Starring: Jason Statham, James Franco, Winona Ryder Action stars cannot be action stars forever. I love my grandparents but the thought of them saving the world from evil is laughable. On a good day they manage to take down a list of chores, not a drug […]

HILARITY: Seth Rogen And James Franco Get Intimate In “Bound 3”

Kanye, Kanye, Kanye, you can’t be releasing videos like “Bound 2” without expecting some hilarious backlash. It’s nothing new, but as of late between his music video, his decision to rock the Confederate flag on the Yeezus tour, and whatever other antics he graces us with daily, it’s about time someone stepped up with some […]

Thirty Seconds To Mars Release “City Of Angels” Video

At this point in his career, Jared Leto can pretty much do whatever he wants. He has ascended to that echelon of celebrity where people love him as much for the things he fails at as his successes, and that freedom has allowed him to get pretty exploratory as far as visuals for his band, […]

HOLY SH!T: Jason Statham Vs. James Franco In First ‘Homefront’ Trailer

Chev Chelios is about to battle Saul Silver. Is this real life? Few names are as synonymous with the modern action film as Jason Statham. He’s starred almost entirely in genre features for the last decade, likely taking on more leading roles than any other action star (except maybe The Rock), but none of those […]

James Franco Launches Indiegogo For Upcoming Film Trilogy Project

Before you go and write this off as another instance of somebody who’s made of money turning to the public in search of the funding to put together a project that could easily fund it himself, don’t. James Franco’s recently launched Indiegogo fundraiser for his Palo Alto: Stories collection that hit bookshelves back in mid-2011 […]

MOVIE REVIEW: This Is The End

Film: This Is The End Starring: Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel Directed by: Evan Goldberg, Seth Rogen The hysteria surrounding the ‘end times’ that was so present in the last half of 2012 proves to be alive and well at the box office this week with the release of This Is The End. The inaugural directorial […]

James Franco Shines In First ‘As I Lay Dying’ Trailer

Adaptations are always risky business for lovers of the written word. While Hollywood may see the built-in audience as a quick way to cash in on a popular title, followers of a series often view Hollywood’s move to snatch up new and old titles as the beginning phase of a future bastardization. Take The Great […]

MUSIC VIDEO: The Lonely Island – “Spring Break Anthem”

Well this is a welcome surprise: hidden in Zach Galifianakis‘ hilarious web interview series Between Two Ferns, The Lonely Island released a new music video for their song, “Spring Break Anthem.” If you know anything about The Lonely Island, you know their songs are all about being overtly ridiculous, and this one does not disappoint. […]

The Croods Still

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: March 22-24

This weekend was a prime example of the unexpected nature of the box office. Dreamworks Films’ latest effort, The Croods was among the year’s first chart-topping animated films, with a performance over 40 million in sales. Distantly behind that was Anoine Fuqua’s Olympas Has Fallen, which charted at #2 with 30 million. James Franco’s uber-raunchy […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Spring Breakers

Title: Spring Breakers Director: Harmony Korine Harmony Korine is a divisive figure. To put it mildly. The director has made his name by specialising in the peculiar and the downright bizarre, becoming something of a cult poster boy in the process. Spring Breakers may accordingly appeal more to his established fanbase, if only cos they’ll […]

WEEKEND BOX OFFICE RESULTS: March 15-17

This weekend left a decent mark on the box office charts. While seven of the films that landed this week’s top ten grossing films for the weekend made less than ten million dollars, the top three made a modest performance. Oz held onto its top of the charts spot it had since last week with […]
