Blue Valentine Ditches NC-17 Rating
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Weinstein Company, Drama, Romance, Filmmaking, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
Although it looked like Blue Valentine, starring Ryan Gosling and Michelle Williams, would have to find a home in theaters with an NC-17 rating – the film has now been stamped with the letter "R."
The movie about a couple and their failing relationship was initially given the more adult rating by the MPAA because of what the group deemed “explicit sexual content.” The Weinstein Co. – arguing that this film was no more excessive than other R-rated entries – vowed to appeal the decision.
“If [Piranha 3D] got an NC-17, I’d be the first going, ‘All right, we gotta cut some of that stuff,’” Harvey Weinstein said. “It’s ridiculous -- a penis got coughed up in the movie by a piranha!" (NOTE: That film was rated R.) "They don't give [NC-17's] for violence, they give them for sexuality," Gosling added to E! back in November.

First Look: Transformers 3 Teaser Trailer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adventure, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
I assure you – even though this trailer does not include any glimpses of Shia LaBeouf, a Michael Bay babe (a.k.a. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley) or dizzying action, it is indeed for a Transformers film.
So where will Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon take us? Well, as the title suggests, to the actual moon -- with the crew of Apollo 11.
Maybe if President Obama gets a chance to watch the film next year, he’ll reconsider his position on sending more astronauts back there?
Transformers 3 will launch July 1, 2011.

Quote of the Day: Halle Berry on Hot Helen Mirren
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Awards, Celebrity Gossip,
"The last thing I want to say is that the last bastion of civil rights in the movie business is ageism. And Helen, you have single-handedly, all by yourself, broken down that barrier because you can age, you can do films that are successful, and you can still be hot as hell!"

Owen Wilson Talks Zoolander 2
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Sequels, Comedy, Upcoming Releases, Videos,
Owen Wilson is ready to reprise his role as Hansel in Zoolander 2, and he says that fans will get to see plenty of “Hansel swagger.”
Wilson starred opposite Ben Stiller in the first Zoolander, but now the enemies-turned-friends may have new competition: Lady Gaga. Wilson hinted that the pop diva could make an appearance in the film, and that “maybe she makes a good foil for Hansel.”
We’ve got reason to believe Lady Gaga is a bit of a comedienne. Just look at her outfits.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, DreamWorks, Disney, Paramount, Sony, Warner Bros, Action, Adaptation, Animation, Drama, Family, Romance, Sequels, Comedy, Box Office, Lists,
You can’t keep a good woman with long locks down.
Despite initially debuting in second place, Tangled reached new heights this week. The Disney feature climbed out of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow’s shadow to take the box office crown.
Tangled is now the second film this year to move up the ladder to the #1 spot. Another animated featured, How to Train Your Dragon, was the first.
The chart’s only new wide release, The Warrior’s Way, will likely fall out of the Top Ten by Week 2. The actioner starring Jang Dong-gun, Kate Bosworth and Geoffrey Rush started its run in ninth place.

Mel Gibson and The Beaver to Hit Theaters Next Spring
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Drama, Comedy, Celebrity Gossip, Trailers, Upcoming Releases,
If Mel Gibson purchased a puppet and adopted a Michael Caine accent, would he be able to solve of all his personal problems? More importantly -- would anyone care?
Those are questions the actor and director Jodie Foster will have answered when The Beaver hits the big screen next year. The film, about a depressed toy executive who “can’t seem to get himself back on track … until a beaver hand puppet enters his life,” was originally scheduled to debut in 2010. Unfortunately, Mel’s real-life drama put the release date in limbo.
Would a spring release give audiences enough time to get past Gibson’s vocal recordings? Or would they even be interested in watching him voice a puppet anyway?
