Carrey and Gyllenhaal are "Damn Yankees" 02/27/2009
 From stage to screen, Damn Yankees is picking up an all star cast and a modern twist. The film will be a contemporary version of the 1955 musical, but will stick closely to the same story of Joe Boyd, a happily married man who suffers from a lifelong devotion to a losing baseball team. One night, Joe meets the Devil, who convinces him to sell his soul and become Joe Hardy, the all-star slugger the team is desperate for. Boyd can escape the deal, as long as he does it before the World Series — but to keep him tempted, the Devil hires the gorgeous Lola to seduce him. Add Comment Movie Releases Feb. 27 02/27/2009
 Well, it's a first. This week I am refusing to choose a pick of the week based on the fact there are only two releases, and I can't in good conscience recommend you see either of them. One wasn't reviewed for critics, and the other is very likely to make you sterile, so view at your own risk. Move over Mr. T, The B Team is here. 02/26/2009
 Are you ready for more retarded Will Ferrell? Because Adam McKay and Will are up to their old tricks again and are currently shopping around their latest comedy, The B Team. The film will pair Ferrell up with none other than Mark Walhberg in a tale of mismatched cops. Samuel Jackson is back MotherF*&$@ers! 02/26/2009
 That's right kiddies, you can all put down your picket signs and angry letters, Mr. Samuel L. Jackson has signed on for nine films with Marvel Studios. Wha?! Yes, he's set to play Nick Fury in the following: Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America, The Avengers, and any sequel that they might spawn. Pretty much anything they want to do with the character, they have the option of using Jackson. Gondry to direct "Green Hornet?" Holy shit. 02/24/2009
 We here at TheMoviePress were excited when Stephen Chow signed on to direct and star in Seth Rogen's Green Hornet, and when he left in December due to artisitic differences with the studio, we were afraid that Green Hornet would not come to fruition--and that Rogen's weight loss was all for naught.  While Ron Howard said that Arrested Development was definitely happening at Sunday's Oscars, well, now we know that the flick won't be George Michael-less! Michael Cera, who has had tons of breakout success lately, had been the lone hold out from the Bluth cast, until today apparently, when he finally agreed to join the film. Wee! DVD Releases Feb 24. 02/24/2009
 I don't know if it's the post Oscar hangover, or if studios are just out of gas because this is one sad Tuesday. That's not to say there aren't any worthwhile releases, there's just not many...releases...at all. So hope on over to our DVD Release section and see for yourself. Even if you are interested in what's new, Amazon is hosting some sweet deals on Blu Rays, Check those out HERE. And the Razzie goes to... 02/23/2009
 Worst Picture: Box Office Results Feb. 20-22 02/23/2009
 Madea may have gone to jail, but the Box Office has gone back to shit. I don't understand how on a typically slow Oscar weekend a movie with bad reviews and a niche market can muster $41 million dollars. But there's no use is dissecting how Tyler Perry does it, because he does. At least he's a good person who gives back to his community like no other, it almost makes seeing his bad movies succeed worthwhile. Check out the Box Office Results section and see just how hard Jason feel, or if American was still taken with Taken. And the Oscar goes to... 02/23/2009
 It's finally over. The leak results were fake, Hugh Jackman ended up being awesome, and the new Oscars were...well good and bad. Either way, check out the results below and let us know what you think. |
