The ‘This Means War’ Trailer Looks Stupid, But It Could Be Entertaining
Posted by: | Comments
This Means War stars two of my favorite actors, Tom Hardy and Reese Witherspoon, with Chris Pine, an actor who has grown on me very much since his big screen splash in Star Trek, acting as the third wheel. The film does not seem to fit the mold of typical roles Tom Hardy chooses — but honestly, it looks like it could be fun. This Means War doesn’t seem to take itself too seriously which is a must with a concept like this. Hit the jump to learn more.
Matt’s Review: ‘Unstoppable’ is Entertaining – But Cliché Throughout
Posted by: | Comments
GRADE: B-
I could tell before seeing Unstoppable loving the film would be a stretch for me. Not that I don’t love Denzel Washington, or that I wasn’t impressed with Chris Pine from his debut in the smash hit Star Trek, but Unstoppable just didn’t really strike me as a must see. I am sure most of my feelings about the movie upfront reside with the fact the last effort from director Tony Scott was also an average movie about trains. The Taking of Pelham 123 is the film I am referring to, a project that also starred Denzel Washington trying to avoid disaster on the tracks.
‘Sherlock Holmes’ Screenwriter to Work on Jack Ryan Reboot Script Starring Chris Pine

Friggin’ finally! Heat Vision is reporting (via Collider) that Sherlock Holmes scribe Anthony Peckham, has signed on to “work” on the script for the long-delayed Jack Ryan reboot, tentatively titled Moscow. For the uninitiated, Jack Ryan is the staple character featured in some of Tom Clancy’s most famous novels that were then adapted into feature films. Jack Ryan has gotten the James Bond/Batman treatment over the years, being portrayed by several different leading men, including: Alec Baldwin in The Hunt for the Red October, Harrison Ford twice in Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger, and most recently Ben Affleck in The Sum of All Fears. Chris Pine is currently attached to take over from here.
At 56 years old, Denzel Washington is still one of the most sought after actors to work with in Hollywood. Deadline is reporting today that a massive who’s who list of the top young actors in in the game are hoping to star along side Denzel in the CIA-thriller Safe House, written by David Guggenheim. The list includes: Ryan Reynolds, Shia LaBeouf, Taylor Kitsch, Chris Pine, Sam Worthington, Garrett Hedlund, Zac Efron, Channing Tatum, Chris Hemsworth and Jake Gyllenhaal. Jeez Louise!
Pelham-Déjà vu, I mean, ‘Unstoppable’ Trailer Hits The Web

It’s funny that director Tony Scott made an action-thriller, starring Denzel Washington, circling around a deadly public tragedy, involving innocent people, that only Denzel could fix, called Déjà vu. Every time I see a trailer for one of Scott’s upcoming films, that’s what I get, because they all seem to feature those same dramatic story elements. The trailer for the newest collab between Scott and Denzel, Unstoppable, popped up on the web today (via FirstShowing), and it looks disappointingly identical to Déjà vu and The Taking of Pelham 123. I mean, Scott is an excellent director, with such exciting and more original credits like Enemy of the State and Man on Fire, but lately, he and Denzel seem to be too interested in reducing, reusing and recycling.
