Five Cool Movies For Spring 2010
23 October 2009 3:12 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »
It’s a slow week for movie releases, with Fantastic Mr. Fox the only release of note in the UK, along with Cirque Du Freak. Most of the remaining big films this year are due out in November and December.
So, with the big winter films already hyped to the max, and with Iron Man 2, Clash of the Titans and Robin Hood being the highly anticipated movies this Spring, I thought i’d take a look at some Spring movies that maybe aren’t getting the attention they deserve – The Losers, Green Zone, A Couple of Dicks, Machete and Kick-Ass. Note, this is a list of the films i’m personally looking forward to, so you won’t necessarily agree with me…
When is it? – 9th April.
Where is it? – Currently filming in Puerto Rico
Who is it? – Directed by Sylvain White, starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, »

Top 7 Actors playing Athletes in Sports Films
3 October 2009 7:30 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
We start the Top 7. You finish the Top 10.
With Whip It swirling its way into theaters, it’s a wonder no one has fully acknowledged the absolutely amazing athletic work these brave actresses have put into the final product. Let’s face it, not all actors can “bring it” when it comes to believably portraying a real-life athlete.
Truth of the matter is, it’s about as rare a feat as you’re likely to see capably pulled off in Hollywood. Ellen Page (who will more than likely make a later edition of this list) made frantically scuttering around a cylindrical death-track look effortless, even graceful. Hell, the entire cast made roller derby look like the ballet with brute violence. This got me to thinking – Which other Hollywood actors have been the most convincing athletes on the big screen? They deserve their due (to go along with their millions of »

6 September 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Whether you're looking to stay on the sofa or you need to know what channels to avoid so you don't end up there on Monday, here's our cheat sheet of notable Labor Day TV marathons.

TV Marathons, Monday, Sept. 7: A&E: Criminal Minds (8 a.m. to 8 p.m.) ABC Family: Secret Life of the American Teenager (11 a.m. to 9 p.m.) Animal Planet: Whale Wars (11 a.m. to 10 p.m.) BBC America: Torchwood: Children of the Earth (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.) Bet: The Game (9 a.m. to 11 p.m.) Bravo: The Real Housewives of Atlanta (10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.) and Top Chef: Las Vegas (3:30 p. »

Billy Bob Thornton Goes Pound for Pound
20 August 2009 11:37 PM, PDT | TheMovingPicture.net | See recent TheMovingPicture news »
According to the trades, Billy Bob Thornton has signed on to star in Pound for Pound, a boxing drama based on a novel from F.X. Toole. Ron Shelton (Dark Blue, Tin Cup) is attached to write and direct. The project centers on the parallel lives of a retired and widowed boxer beset by depression after his grandson is killed in a car accident and an up-and-coming teenage Latino fighter from a difficult background. The lives of the two intersect in unexpected ways. Thornton will play the retired boxer, while producers are out to cast on the younger role. Toole, the pen name for the late boxing cutman Jerry Boyd, gained fame two years after he died when the stories in his collection "Rope Burns," became the basis for the Clint Eastwood-Paul Haggis drama "Million Dollar Baby." The 2004 movie earned $207 million worldwide and was nominated for seven Oscars and won four, »

Weekend Movie News Wrap Up: August 6, 2009
16 August 2009 10:17 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
This week:
Aliens invade the box office with District 9; get ready to see more Saw; Elvis talks Bubba Nosferatu; St Elmo’s Fire gets remade; Dennis Quaid and Tim Allen join Ron Shelton in Q School, while Maggie Q looks for a Priest; Godzilla may be going on the warpath again; Sony takes a dose of Doctor Parnassus and Wall Street 2 adds another cast member.
Box Office
It looks like originality won out at the box office for a change. Neill Blomkamp’s District 9 banked a cool $37 million over the weekend. The Peter Jackson produced Sci-Fi film had a negative cost of just $30 million and with great reviews it looks like this could do well in the long run too.
GI Joe: The Rise Of Cobra had an average drop from last weekend’s surprisingly high take. Down just around 60% (which is pretty middle of the road »

Ron Shelton sure likes his sports, having built a career on films like Bull Durham, White Men Can't Jump and Cobb. For his next gig, he'll be revisiting his Tin Cup leisure of choice. The director has signed on to indie comedy Q School, with Dennis Quaid and Tim Allen said to be in negotiations to headline. The story, like its title, centers on an annual Golf tournament known as Qualifying School where players duke it out for a spot on the next year's PGA tour. A small sports »

Ron Shelton sticks to golf with 'Q School'
14 August 2009 2:19 AM, PDT | screeninglog.com | See recent screeninglog news »
Oscar-nominated filmmaker Ron Shelton, whose credits also include "Tin Cup," is set to direct "Q School," a golf comedy he wrote with John Norville.
The Hollywood Reporter says the film follows a group of up-and-coming golf players who battle it out on the course to make the PGA Tour.
Apparently, Dennis Quaid and Tim Allen are attached to play two lead characters. Quaid is currently on-screen in "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," and as for Allen, his voice will soon be heard in "Toy Story 3."
Shelton is no stranger to sports films. He also previously helmed "Bull Durham," "White Men Can't Jump" and "Play It to the Bone." His most recent film was the disappointing "Hollywood Homicide." »

Ron Shelton Directing Another Golf Comedy Called 'Q School'
14 August 2009 1:47 AM, PDT | firstshowing.net | See recent FirstShowing.net news »
A golf comedy? Now that is something we haven't seen in a while. Yes, I know that Caddyshack and Happy Gilmore are the best of the best and pretty much unbeatable, but still, it's a sport that could be milked for more comedy, so why not? Right? THR announces that Ron Shelton, who directed the golf comedy Tin Cup and White Men Can't Jump, will helm Q School, a golf comedy based on a script he co-wrote with Tin Cup collaborator John Norville. Dennis Quaid and Tim Allen are interested in starring roles in the project, but haven't signed on yet. Shooting is set to start in the spring. Will this be able to live up to Caddyshack? Q School is described as a comedy in which a group of hopefuls battle it out in a competition to make the PGA Tour, with both their game and their personal lives »

The Delightfully Prickly Julian Sands
3 August 2009 2:13 PM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
On the screen, Julian Sands is known for a wide spectrum of roles that make the most of his seemingly contradictory mixture of glowering, antihero intensity and ethereal leading man looks. On the telephone, he presents an equally formidable hybrid: Sands has got delightfully prickly down to an art. The British-born actor, who began his film career in "The Killing Fields" in 1984 and broke through the next year as George Emerson in "A Room With A View," has worked steadily in film and television for the last 25 years, starring in cult classics like "Warlock" and working with directors like David Cronenberg, Mike Figgis and Dario Argento, and gaining a television following with roles on shows like "24." Currently, Sands is starring as expat actor Reg Hunt in IFC's upcoming miniseries "Bollywood Hero." I spoke with him about his career, what sparks his interest in a role, and what audiences want from a golf movie. »
