DR. SEUSS' THE LORAX

RYAN: I know you're not into family films but over the years you have seen a couple animated films that you actually like in spite of yourself.

CAROLINE: This is true. Extremely rare, but true.

RYAN: I know you'd like this one.

CAROLINE: Why?

RYAN: It's just excellent across the board. For starters, and I didn't going in... but it's a musical! And two of the songs are as great as some of the best Disney songs from their animated canon.

CAROLINE: Wow. That's quite the compliment.

RYAN: I was so surprised. I didn't know from the trailer that it would be and the singing and dancing was faboosh.

CAROLINE: I'm glad of it. Who are the featured voices in this besides Danny DeVito at the titular Lorax?

RYAN: Zac Efron, Taylor Swift, Betty White and Ed Helms.

CAROLINE: Ok, there's some talent. Did Zac and Taylor duet?

RYAN: Sadly no, there wasn't that; but it's okay.

CAROLINE: That's surprising though.

RYAN: I really loved the colors and the Seuss design and it's almost Tim Burton-ish that way, with all the random shapes and exotic hues. And all the little animals in the movie have such personality and character and are super cute and comical.

CAROLINE: It does have that look. Did you see it in 3D?

RYAN: Yeah and it was pretty decent. And I took along my 11-year-old niece and 9-year-old nephew to the screening and they both were completely mesmerized. At lunch following, my niece was commenting on the environmental theme so it really is effective that way.

CAROLINE: Another kids' movie with a message.

RYAN: Well some of the best tales do have a moral to the story and this one is quite specific and unique. It's An Inconvenient Truth for the grade school set.

CAROLINE: [laughs] Well put.

RYAN: I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It's a delight to watch with a brilliant score and terrific talent from all aspects. There isn't, like, innuendo humor for adults the way Shrek had, but I think it will absolutely appeal to all ages who attend along with the intended audience.

VFX Exec Discusses Alfonso Cuar�n's 'Gravity' Scene Development

While we're still waiting to see some actual footage or any images at all from Alfonso Cuar�n's upcoming sci-fi Gravity, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, we have been following updates on it. The latest comes from the Warner Bros head of VFX development at the 5D FLUX conference and quotes on our friend Bill Desowitz's blog Immersed in Movies (via The Film Stage). Gravity, a space adventure about an astronaut stuck floating in space, will feature extended long shots, like in Cuar�n's Children of Men, shot by cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, with only 156 shots total in the entire two-hour movie. Read on!

In the blog update, Desowitz quotes Chris deFaria, who "oversees development of VFX and animation at Warner Bros", and was speaking at the 5D FLUX conference at the USC School of Cinematic Arts. He talks briefly, and very vaguely, about some of the ideas they were trying to ...

FRIENDS WITH KIDS

CAROLINE: I was so excited to see Friends With Kids since I have thoroughly enjoyed Jennifer Westfeldt's past endeavors. Plus the cast is awesome and it just seemed like a story that's totally up my alley.

RYAN: Me too! I'm dying to see this but couldn't make the screening. Please tell me it was good! People are even calling it a mini-Bridesmaids reunion since practically half the cast is in this movie too.

CAROLINE: This is true - it's got Kristen Wiig, Jon Hamm, Maya Rudolph and cutie Chris O'Dowd. But they're the supporting players here. The leads are Adam Scott from Parks & Rec and Jennifer W. herself, who also wrote and directed the film.

RYAN: I loved her in Kissing Jessica Stein. So how is her latest venture? I believe it's her directorial debut.

CAROLINE: It is, and I so wanted to love this movie; but alas, I could not. It's not a total dud, but it was disappointing.

RYAN: Oh no!! Why?

CAROLINE: Something didn't click. The dialogue wasn't snappy enough, it felt slow and they didn't use enough music. Some scenes were close to deadly and I was like, "Why is there no music here?"

RYAN: That's so Raven! Is it supposed to be a comedy?

CAROLINE: It's much more drama than comedy, but there are a few comedic moments. Given this cast, I should have been doubled over laughing at the funny parts, but I wasn't. Not even close.

RYAN: You're making me sad.

CAROLINE: I'm sad too, believe me. I thought I would love this movie. But something was missing. A lot of it had to do with the utter lack of chemistry between the two leads.

RYAN: But isn't the point that they're BFFs who aren't into each other but then decide to have a baby together?

CAROLINE: Yes, but even their friendship didn't work for me. I hate to say it, but Jennifer Westfeldt was the weakest link. Her acting just isn't all that awesome. I really like her and find her appealing, and I even loved that short-lived sitcom she was on, Notes from the Underbelly; but she didn't work for me in this. I wanted more. Better writing, more humor, better drama.

RYAN: You'd think they'd do some great ad libbing, at least with a cast of this caliber.

CAROLINE: Totally! The jokes were few and far between and when they were there, they weren't that funny.

RYAN: Isn't Megan Fox in it?

CAROLINE: Yes, and she's insanely gorgeous. Her acting's decent too. And Ed Burns has a small part. Again, an amazing cast; I just didn't love the final product. And it's a total rip-off of When Harry Met Sally in parts. I can certainly understand wanting to tip your hat to that incredible movie, but this was too much.

RYAN: Should I at least watch it on cable when it comes out?

CAROLINE: Oh totally! It's worth seeing if you like these actors, and it explores a topic that many people can relate to, albeit from the POV of wealthy Manhattanites and Brooklynites. I certainly didn't hate it, but I was expecting so much more.

SAFE HOUSE

CAROLINE: I was actually really excited for this movie but unable to attend the screening. Please tell me it was good!

RYAN: OK, it was good; not great.

CAROLINE: Alright. Please expound.

RYAN: Well the action scenes are actually all quite good. And if you wanna munch some popcorn and go for that, I fully support. But as for Denzel, it's absolutely nothing new and certainly no Training Day.

CAROLINE: Well that's high expectations this time of year, isn't it?

RYAN: Yeah but you saw the trailer - this looked great, right?

CAROLINE: True. How's Ryan Reynolds? Does he have his shirt off at all?

RYAN: Only for a split second. The man-candy award this weekend really goes to Channing Tatum in The Vow.

CAROLINE: Yes it does! Is Ryan good though?

RYAN: Yeah I thought he was really good. I think he was even better than Denzel, don't shoot. The bigger problem for me was that this movie is very derivative of the CIA agent-goes rogue genre. It's just very straightforward that way.

CAROLINE: But the action was terrific.

RYAN: About three quarters of the way into this movie I was consistently thinking it's just a rental; but then, the last twenty minutes and the ending was so satisfying that I walked out saying I'd say "see it." However, over the last few days, it has settled in.

CAROLINE: And?

RYAN: My pal Brad, who joined me at the screening, put it best, "It's serviceable." The action scenes are great. The movie, overall, is okay. Denzel is fine.

THE SECRET WORLD OF ARRIETTY

RYAN: Aren't you just beside yourself with joy there's a new cartoon movie opening today?

CAROLINE: I honestly hadn't even heard of this film until you told me you were going to the screening. How embarrassing is that?

RYAN: Well LBH, you're more than out of the loop when it comes to animated films, let alone Japanese animated movies. However, this one is voiced by American actors and distributed by Disney. And it's by the powerhouse team that made animated insta-classics like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Ponyo, among others...

CAROLINE: No shocker, it's like you're speaking a foreign language to me.

RYAN: They're all great titles and this is another one to add to the bunch. When released in the UK, it was voiced by Mark Strong and Saoirse Ronan and I would have loooved to see that version but I'm also quite content with the American cast.

CAROLINE: Who's in it?

RYAN: Disney Channel stars Bridgit Mendler and David Henrie are the main voices.

CAROLINE: I'm still lost.

RYAN: But then there's Amy Poehler and Will Arnett.

CAROLINE: OK good.

RYAN: They play hubby and wife and she's comedic but his voice is very serious throughout.

CAROLINE: That's a bummer. Anyone else?

RYAN: Carol Burnett! And she's actually high-lar. She doesn't have a ton of scenes but the character she voices is quite shrill and comical and she brilliantly goes with it.

CAROLINE: We don't normally give away plot but what's this basically about?

RYAN: It's based on the popular children's' book The Borrowers about little people who live in the walls and beneath the floor and borrow things from the house to survive. It's also like the 80s animated TV series The Littles of which I was a fan as a kid.

CAROLINE: I can't say it rings a bell.

RYAN: Well the little people in this are different characters but it is very similar. There's actually a lot of heart to the story and the script gets kinda deep.

CAROLINE: So what age range would you say this is for?

RYAN: I was thinking it was a bit slow and tedious in some parts so I would have recommended this for the more mature child, if that makes sense; but there were kids of all ages at the screening and they weren't restless at all. So it must work on all levels. It's also refreshing seeing classic animation again.

CAROLINE: Yeah that's a rare treat for animation fans these days.

RYAN: It's a really sweet, nice movie for kids with enough depth to engage the adults in the audience. I'm a fan of this team so I'm saying see it though I don't think it would loose too much sparkle with a home screening on DVD.

Django Unchained: Minimalist Poster

Sure, we’ve heard lots about Quentin Tarantino and his latest picture Django Unchained. If the filmmaker does for westerns what he did with World War II in Inglourious Basterds, audiences are in for a treat. But beyond that, we have no visuals for the latest from the visionary filmmaker. That changed when The Weinstein Company released the film’s first art, a very simple, but effective, movie poster.

Django Unchained Poster
The film stars Jamie Foxx as the title character, a freed slave, who toils as the mentee of a bounty hunter played by Christoph Waltz. The star wattage beyond Foxx and Waltz is immense: Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt RUsell, Don Johnson, Kerry Washington, Anthony LaPaglia and James Remar. Look for the western December 25.

Nolan's 'The Dark Knight Rises' Lands a PG-13 Rating, As Expected

Briefly: It should come as no surprise that Chris Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises, which has already been screened for Warner Bros execs and apparently the MPAA, has received a PG-13 rating. Collider reports that a NolanFans forum member got a screenshot (here) of the official PG-13 rating on the WB exhibitors' website, stating it's rated for "intense sequences of violence and action, some sensuality and language." The Bane prologue was already rated PG-13 and this isn't a big surprise, though still intriguing to hear. Once again Nolan pulls off a PG-13 with ease, though I'm sure it's still dark and violent. In related news, check out this dark promo bus (above) for TDKR found in Hong Kong. Things are heating up with only 3 months left!

Elle Fanning Also Starring in Glasgow-Set Musical 'God Help the Girl'

It's very interesting to watch the career of Elle Fanning. She's already worked with J.J. Abrams, Cameron Crowe, David Fincher, Francis Ford Coppola all by age 14, who's next? Variety reports on another role she's taking in a musical set in Glasgow, Scotland titled God Help the Girl, written and directed by Stuart Murdoch, lead singer of Belle and Sebastian. The project, which has been in the works since late 2003, will also star English actor Olly Alexander, seen in Enter the Void and Gulliver's Travels. If you're familiar with Murdoch's 2009 album "God Help the Girl" or the Kickstarter, then you may already know about this.

LOL Trailer: Laugh Out Loud with Miley Cyrus

The second trailer from the Miley Cyrus-starring LOL has landed and gives us more of a clue into this coming-of-age story that premieres May 4. Specifically we get a glimpse of Cyrus going toe-to-toe with Ashley Greene over a guy. Lionsgate has also released a full synopsis of the film (below) that explores growing up in the world of YouTube and Facebook. The movie also stars Demi Moore, Thomas Jane, Jay Hernandez, Marlo Thomas, Gina Gershon and Nora Dunn.

Plot summary:
Lola (Cyrus) and her friends navigate the peer pressures of high school romance and friendship while dodging their sometimes overbearing and confused parents. When Lola's mom, Anne (Moore), "accidentally" reads her teenage daughter's racy journal, she realizes just how wide their communication gap has grown. Through hilarious and heartfelt moments between mother and daughter, LOL is an authentic coming-of-age story for the way we live now.
 
Lola's high school inner-circle includes Kyle (Booth) Lola's BFF, whom she realizes is her love interest; Lola's two best friends Janice (Esco) and Emily (Hinshaw); Max (Sevani) -- a nerd that Emily secretly hooks up with; Lola's ex-boyfriend and Kyle's best friend Chad (Finn); Lloyd (Watson) who is part of their crew; and Ashley (Greene) -- the sexy girl who has set her sights on Kyle, much to Lola's dismay. Thomas Jane plays Alan, Anne's ex-husband and Lola's father. Jay Hernandez plays James, a dangerously cute, good-natured cop dating Anne who is able to offer a little perspective on her teenage daughter. Austin Nichols plays Mr. Ross, the heartthrob math teacher, who all the girls have a crush on. Marlo Thomas plays Gran, Anne's sophisticated mother whose relaxed demeanor allows her to be the easy-going bystander when it comes to watching Anne raising children of her own. Gina Gershon and Fisher Stevens play Anne's closest friends and confidants and Nora Dunn plays Emily's mom.

Director Seth Gordon Sets Up 'The Has-Beens' After 'Identity Theft'

Following the success of Horrible Bosses, director Seth Gordon has already lined up a sequel with Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis and Jason Bateman returning, and he's also working with the ripe and popular comedic talents of Melissa McCarthy on Identity Theft (which also stars Bateman). Now the filmmaker has lined up another comedy over at New Line with a script coming from Max Werner, the writer behind TV mastermind Josh Schwartz's ("Chuck" and "The OC") feature film debut Fun Size. However, Variety reports that the logline and any vague details about the film currently titled The Has-Beens, have not yet been revealed.

If I had to guess, I'd wager that the film is an even more comedic approach to something like RED, with some washed up, older action veterans getting back in the game. Of course, that seems to simple, and if New Line is keeping it under wraps, hopefully that ...

21 JUMP STREET

RYAN: The TV series made Johnny Depp a star. I never watched the show in the late 80s/early 90s so I can't compare it.

CAROLINE: I didn't ever really see it either. And I didn't see this film. How was it?

RYAN: It's good, not great.

CAROLINE: I can't say I'm all that surprised. Was it even funny?

RYAN: Yeah there is some decent comedy. And I much prefer Jonah Hill in this kind of role versus what he did in Moneyball. LBH, I still can't believe he was nominated for an Oscar.

CAROLINE: I know. It's actually hard to believe. How was Channing? Was his shirt off the whole time?

RYAN: Actually not even once.

CAROLINE: I'm shocked! I figured he has that written into his contract at this point.

RYAN: He's fine but never really an amazing actor. He's no Ryan Gosling. But you know who was in this but I didn't realize till the end?

CAROLINE: Who?

RYAN: James Franco's younger brother Dave. He plays the drug dealer at the school.

CAROLINE: Gee, I wonder how he got in the business.

RYAN: Exactly. He's good though; so talent runs in the family.

CAROLINE: It's billed as an action comedy. How's the action?

RYAN: It's tame. There are no OMG Mission Impossible-like action moments. And the comedy is always played before the action. It is a bit cheesy at times and other times outright crosses the line for a laugh.

CAROLINE: How was the scene where Jonah has the blond hair?

RYAN: It's funny. It's fine.

CAROLINE: You sound kinda middle of the road on this.

RYAN: I think the young boy demographic will like this, though it is rated R. It's just a total bromance comedy. Jonah and Channing have decent bro-chemistry but I just wasn't completely roused by this the way we are by, like, Steve Carel comedies, you know?

CAROLINE: Oh honey, I know.

RYAN: There is one fantastic surprise at the end of the film that makes for a great moment but I don't wanna give anything away for those who want to see this.

CAROLINE: Please don't.

RYAN: This film is relatively enjoyable. The audience I screened it with seemed to be enjoying it a lot more than me I just think compared to other comedies, like Bridesmaids, or Wanderlust, currently out, this isn't as good. Where I recommended those, this one can be more of a rental.

Alex Proyas to Adapt 'The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag'

Between his failed launch of both Paradise Lost and Dracula Year Zero, it hasn't been a good run for director Alex Proyas recently.

The project is looking to start shooting sometime this fall in Australia where Proyas and his Mystery Clock Cinema production banner is based.

In the novel, the title character is struck one evening with the realization that he has no memory of what he does during the day. Distraught over his predicament, and particularly concerned that he might be engaged in some nefarious activities, he contacts a husband and wife detective agency and asks ...

The Avengers: Suit Up Trailer

Fans of The Avengers who were watching last night’s Dancing with the Stars, may have wanted to get up and do a little boogie of their own after witnessing the film’s latest trailer during the ABC hit show.

RYAN: [laughs] Well there is like a lot of underage nudity of the bosom variety. I can only imagine the creepy old men this film will appeal to.

CAROLINE: I'm disgusted.

RYAN: It's a very loose story... about the high school party to shut down all high school parties: the epic party. And it's a bit wannabe Risky Business meets Kids but without edge, wit, good writing or even good acting. It was like watching a high school play rehearsal.

CAROLINE: That sounds atrocious.

RYAN: That being said, I didn't want to walk out and I didn't sleep at all during it. I was kinda waiting for someone to die or something super dramatic and while there is some climax it's not that.

CAROLINE: This is the opposite of a glowing review.

RYAN: Well it's a very cliche movie. The nerdy boy, the girl crush, the parents go away, the out of control party, the family dog, dad's nice car... the cheesy best friends. I suppose if you're currently in high school there may be some appeal.

CAROLINE: We're clearly not the target audience.

RYAN: The audience I screened with didn't really react either. It's just a cheap, cliche film.

Tim Burton Looking for More Stop-Motion with 'Night of the Living'

Every now and then people need to be reminded that Tim Burton produced The Nightmare Before Christmas and it was Coraline director Henry Selick who was at the helm of the holiday musical, stop-motion animated feature. Of course, since then Burton has gone on to direct his own stop-motion films like The Corpse Bride, the forthcoming Frankenweenie, and a new take on The Addams Family. Now it sounds like he will be at the helm of yet another stop-motion film called The Night of the Living, a new original story from Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter screenwriter and author Seth Grahame-Smith.

In an interview with THR, Grahame-Smith only briefly touched on the developing project saying:

"'Night of the Living' is an idea I have had around for years that I'm doing with Tim Burton. When we were shooting 'Dark Shadows' last year I worked up the nerve to tell Tim about it because ...

Woody Harrelson Set to Face Christian Bale in 'Out of the Furnace'

The sibling duo in the new thriller Out of the Furnace has already been locked down with Christian Bale and Casey Affleck playing brothers in the new film from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper. The story follows follows a man named Slim (Bale) who, upon release from years in prison for murder, just wants to keep his promise to marry his girlfriend. However, his path changes when he seeks revenge once he learns his brother (Affleck) was murdered after getting involved in some gambling racket. Now Variety reports Woody Harrelson will play Curtis DeGroat, the ringleader who Bale ends up seeking vengeance against.

Harrelson has been quite the bad-ass as of late. Between Zombieland in 2009, his Oscar-worthy turn as a corrupt cop in Rampart, a helpful mentor role in The Hunger Games, and a promising turn in the dark comedic thriller Seven Psychopaths, Harrelson really is back on his A-game. ...

Christian Bale and Casey Affleck Confirmed for 'Out of the Furnace'

We've heard that Christian Bale had circled back around to potentially star in the original thriller Out of the Furnace and Zoe Saldana would join him. Now a press release has confirmed that casting, and also reveals that Casey Affleck has joined the cast along with Sam Shepard (Safe House, Black Hawk Down). Scott Cooper is directing the film which follows a man named Slim (Bale) who, upon release from years in prison for murder, just wants to keep his promise to marry his girlfriend.

Affleck will play Bale's brother Rodnsey Base, Jr. while Saldana is playing Bale's girlfriend. meanwhile Shepard is playing Red, the uncle of the two brothers. The film begins shooting next month, and while Robert Duvall was once rumored for a role, I'm betting Shepard ...

Box Office Results

  1. The Vow, $41.7 million
  2. Safe House, $39.3 million
  3. Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, $27.6 million
  4. Star Wars: Episode 1?The Phantom Menace, $23 million
  5. Chronicle, $12.3 million
  6. The Woman in Black, $10.3 million
  7. The Grey, $5.1 million
  8. Big Miracle, $3.9 million
  9. The Descendants, $3.5 million
10. Underworld Awakening, $2.5 million

RYAN: I'm glad but also surprised that The Vow did so well this weekend.

CAROLINE: You are?! I'm shocked. It's not even a romantic comedy and it managed to beat the new Denzel action movie and Star Wars in 3D!

RYAN: It is quite the feat. I liked it more than you did and Channing Tatum must be thrilled; but it must really be due to the fact audiences loved Rachel so much in The Notebook and she just works brilliantly in this genre.

CAROLINE: Agreed, but I'm still dying to prove she can do something else at this point.

RYAN: As long as she keeps working, I won't complain. She is a very talented actress.

CAROLINE: Star Wars did ok. I, personally, don't know anyone who went to see it this weekend but I imagine George Lucas was hoping it would have done better.

RYAN: Yeah, it can't have been cheap to convert that to 3D but once it come out on 3D dvd, it'll sell to the diehard Star Wars fans, even the ones who don't yet own a 3D TV, I bet.

CAROLINE: Between that and Journey 2 in 3D, I guess the weekend proves 3D isn't the draw Hollywood hopes it would be.

RYAN: Safe House turned out to be the second biggest opening of Denzel's career.

CAROLINE: I still wanna see it.

Denzel Washington and Paula Patton Join Mark Wahlberg for '2 Guns'

Last December, actress Paula Patton got some action of her own in the form of a supporting role alongside Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (which hits Blu-Ray and DVD next Tuesday). Now Patton will be picking up some weapons again with her Deja Vu co-star Denzel Washington as Deadline reports the two stars are now in talks to join Mark Wahlberg in an adaptation of 2 Guns, the graphic novel written by Steven Grant. Wahlberg replaced Vince Vaughn in the project last August, and he'll be reunited with his Contraband director Baltasar Kormakur who will be at the helm of this adaptation. Read on!

The story follows on the previous draft of the script by Blake Masters which tells the story of a DEA agent and an undercover Naval Intelligence officer who are unwittingly investigating each other and steal mob money for the good guys. The duo realizes ...

David Michod Set to Write/Direct 'The Rover' with Joel Edgerton Next

Another crime story. More from the twisted Australian mind(s) that brought us the brilliant crime drama Animal Kingdom next comes The Rover, a drama set to star Joel Edgerton, who has become quite a well-known actor since appearing in David Michod's Animal Kingdom in 2010. Variety reports on the news, saying David Michod has "finally settled on his follow-up" to Animal Kingdom, writing/directing this film, supposedly about "a man on a mission to retrieve his stolen car, which contains something invaluable to him." Rather vague. The project has producers and everything, with a production start date in Oz this fall.

The Rover, written and directed by David Mich�d, is produced by David Linde's Lava Bear and Porchlight Films. Linde will produce for Lava Bear, Liz Watts will produce for Porchlight; Tory Metzger will oversee. Michod is part of Blue-Tongue Films, which includes Joel Edgerton's brother Nash, Spencer Susser and Kieran Darcy-Smith. ...
