In the follow-up, Lenny (Adam Sandler) has relocated his family back to the small town where he and his friends grew up. This time around, the grown ups are the ones learning lessons from their kids on a day notoriously full of surprises: the last day of school.
In the film, Linda Sinclair (Moore) is a 40-year-old unmarried high school English teacher in the small town of Kingston, PA. Her simple life turns an unexpected page when former student Jason Sherwood (Michael Angarano) returns home after trying to make it as a playwright in New York. On the verge of abandoning art and pressured by his father (Greg Kinnear), to face reality and go to law school, Linda decides to mount his play—a dark, angst-ridden, ambitious work—as a Kingston High production, with flamboyant drama teacher Carl Kapinas (Nathan Lane) directing. Now well out of her comfort zone, Linda takes further risks in life and love, the stage is set for a highly comic downfall. With the play, her reputation, and teaching career on the line, Linda finds an unlikely ally in herself. Amidst the ruins of her formerly perfect life, can she find a way to her own unique storybook ending?
Will Arnett of Arrested Development and most recently Up All Night has been added to the ever mutating cast of Ninja Turtles.Hollywood Reporter indicates the role is being kept under lock and key for the moment but the comedic actor will be joining:
~~Megan Fox As April O'Neil ~~Alan Ritchson as Raphael ~~Jeremy Howard as Donatello ~~Pete Ploszek as Leonardo ~~Noel Fisher as Michelangelo
Arnett was one of the bright spots in the much maligned Up All Night for me. Is it possible Arnett is going to be playing the wisecracking, hockey mask wearing, stick wielding, Casey Jones? Maybe he is merely the voice of everybody's favorite furry mentor Splinter?
My guess is that he is playing Casey Jones, he seems to have the right build and sarcastic chops for the role despite reports to the contrary. He could also be "Office Crush #1" or "Phil Stevens-Jealous Boyfriend".
Along with a few scene descriptions was one interesting nugget on The Man of Steel we've been sitting on. Unsure of their ability to survive on Earth (since they've never actually been there), Zod and his rogue Kryptonians wear helmets containing their own life support system in addition to the "Neo Medieval" armor.
These new Halloween costumes don't exactly contradict that intel. It looks less like a superhero adventure for the whole family and more like a gimp suit designed by H.R. Giger. You know it's legit since the pictures showcased are "mysteriously" gone.
Sequels aren't so much the norm in Hollyweird. They're the necessity. If something works, studio chiefs with a cigar in their mouth bark at their minions, "Get me another one of those!" after seeing the grosses Monday morning.
When it's a new James Bond they want, no complaints are heard. That is a property intended for multiple entries. It's a part of a well-oiled machine going in cycles every ten years. But when it's Pixar, something is wrong with the cosmic balance. Save for Toy Story (In that case they took their sweet time developing each one), their mantra was always original self-contained stories, like Disney Animation in its glory days. And it worked. They were better than reducing themselves to the quick cash-in follow-ups.
Then we got Cars 2, this summer Monsters University and come November 25, 2015, Finding Dory. The news of a Finding Nemo sequel isn't earth-shattering. We've known it was coming but centered on the sweet but memory loss-prone fish voiced by Ellen DeGeneres?
Nemo was as much about finding herself (in this case, her memory) then it was the search for the title character. She had her arc and it was complete like any good story. So hearing in the press release Pixar sent out this morning feels like one of those direct-to-video Disney sequels that in essence recycled the plot of its predecessor. I sincerely hope I am proven wrong.
Here's video of DeGeneres on her talk show making the announcement:
You may remember Rob Zombie from such musical misadventures as Dragula and Living Dead Girl or such terrifying and unsettling films as Halloween and Devil's Rejects;but now he is taking on legendary sports franchises.
The multi-talented artist has just finished a script focusing on the 1970's Philadelphia known as the "Broadstreet Bullies". They were just as hated as the Yankees of the 90's or Patriots of this past decade but would punch you in the mouth if you said so, which they did constantly during their two Stanley Cup runs in 1974 and 1975.
"That [script] is finished. I just finished it. That was an epic battle because that was the first time I had to really research something. There's no fiction in it, it's all true. It was a year of research, my God, I read every f--king book and, obviously, the game ends with game 6 against the Bruins when they win the cup. I must have watched game 6 a thousand f--king times until I had it memorized. It's a pretty epic script. I was just in Philadelphia a couple of weeks ago and all of those guys still go to every game. I was sitting in the box with Joe Watson and Bernie Parent. The Broadstreet Bullies still reign there. I got to get that movie right or they'll take me out and hang me."
"We had so many offers for it but we haven't taken one yet. It's funny because everybody was like 'Oh, a hockey movie, nobody's going to want it.' But as soon as we announced it, everyone came out of the woodwork. Everybody wanted to get involved. Nothing against horror movies and I don't mean this to sound any way, but no agent wants to put their client in a horror movie, nobody would take them seriously. But suddenly, with this type of movie, everyone is coming forward, which I wasn't prepared for."
Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) finds, life is busy – between taking out the bad guys as Spider-Man and spending time with the person he loves, Gwen (Emma Stone), high school graduation can't come quickly enough. Peter hasn't forgotten about the promise he made to Gwen's father to protect her by staying away – but that's a promise he just can't keep. Things will change for Peter when a new villain, Electro (Jamie Foxx), emerges, an old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, and Peter uncovers new clues about his past.
In the wake of a shocking act of terror from within their own organization, the crew of The Enterprise is called back home to Earth. In defiance of regulations and with a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads his crew on a manhunt to capture an unstoppable force of destruction and bring those responsible to justice.
As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.
Were this not the overexposed Judd Apatow posse, the joke prevalent in This is The End would work. See celebrities die. See them die as violent as possible and judging by the wonky CG how much their budget allows.
It feels like we're all watching one big inside joke none of us are in on. Five years ago, with these comedians at their peak, this would be a genius concept. In the present day, this feels more like another "Movie within a Movie" parody from Funny People.
With the purchase of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on DVD/Blu-Ray, you got an access code that unlocked a special live event hosted by Peter Jackson, promising a fans-submitted Q&A session and an early look at The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. An excerpt from the event is now available online.
And by "early" footage of The Desolation of Smaug, I mean seconds of behind-the-scenes footage of them filming. Better than nothing, I suppose. That's all well and good but taking up your time answering questions from Stephen Colbert (Okay???) and Billy Boyd? Seriously, Jackson, you can talk to them any time. This is supposed to be for the fans. Way to waste their time, buddy.
