Переслать - 'The Watch,' 'Step Up,' And More: Double Feature Friday!
This week in theaters, there are aliens in the neighborhood, an imaginary girl in real life, and something wrong with the fried chicken.
Check out all of this week's pairings in Double Feature Friday!
"The Watch" & "Attack the Block"
Some of the television ads for "The Watch" have downplayed the science fiction elements of the comedy, but one look at the full synopsis for this alien invasion flick and memories of last year's instant cult classic "Attack the Block" should come rushing back. Joe Cornish's original "aliens in the neighborhood" film boasts genuine laughs, scares and enough gore to satiate the more hardcore horror fans. It was the kind of the movie that was so original and so clearly well-made that it compelled you to anticipate whatever comes next from the filmmaker. Definitely check it out instead."Step Up Revolution" & "Scarface"
Listen, I understand that using dance as a way to call attention to the gaps between the classes and bring about permanent social change in Miami might be the P.C. way to address the climate of today, but back in the 80s, all you needed was a lot of cocaine and some balls. The release of the fourth "Step Up" movie calls for a look back on the real Miami revolution, which occurred back in 1983, was directed by Brian De Palma, and starred Al Pacino."Ruby Sparks" & "Little Miss Sunshine"
After six years away, Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris are back in the director's chair with their latest heart-warming offering "Ruby Sparks." Their first feature film, "Little Miss Sunshine," earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture, won for Best Original Screenplay, and started the trend of calling every year's indie-Academy crossover "This year's 'Little Miss Sunshine.'" It's likely that you haven't gone back to this film in a while, but it holds up and is worth the revisit."Killer Joe" & "The French Connection"
William Friedkin makes hard movies. This is the guy behind "The Exorcist" and "The French Connection." His latest film, "Killer Joe" continues that tradition with some serious gross-outs, so why not go back and see where he came from with the movie that won him an Academy Award for Best Director. Gene Hackman is in rare form in this hard-nosed 1971 crime drama about drug smuggling in New York City. Hackman plays Popeye Doyle, and once you see "The French Connection," you won't forget it.What are you watching this weekend? Let us know in the comments below and on Twitter!
If one movie is never enough for you and you're looking for a flick to get you in the mood for this week's new release, Double Feature Friday is here to help. Every week we break down the new releases and pair them with older movies that you should catch before heading out to the theater. Or just skip the new movie and check out the classic we recommend.
Переслать - Clint Eastwood, Justin Timberlake Drink In 'Trouble With The Curve' Pics
We've been anxiously awaiting Clint Eastwood's next film "The Trouble with the Curve" for a while now. Not only is Eastwood returning from his three-year retirement to act in a movie directed by someone else—in this case, longtime producing partner Robert Lorenz in his feature film debut—but he's also teaming up with the likes of Amy Adams, Justin Timberlake and John Goodman.
Entertainment Weekly has our first look at the film, which is due out in theaters on September 28. The two stills the outlet premiered show Eastwood getting close with his onscreen daughter (played by Adams) as well as having some male bonding time with Timberlake's character.
"The Trouble with the Curve" tells the story of an aging Atlanta Braves scout with increasingly poor eyesight who goes on a road trip with his adult daughter to investigate "green power hitter" Bo Gentry (played by newcomer Joe Massingill). Timberlake plays a rival scout named Johnny who has a friendly history with Eastwood's character Gus, the man who scouted him when he was a baseball player.
"[Gus] gets his chance to prove whether he still has value as a scout—and as a dad," Lorenz told EW. "They're having trouble communicating. They always have, and now they've come to a point in the relationship where it's either going to change or it's not. He needs a little help, and she decides it's worth the effort."
Johnny helps facilitate between Gus and his daughter, and of course develops an interest in her as well. According to EW, Gus is not pleased about their relationship, but that's only the tip of the iceberg in this emotional baseball drama.

Переслать - Exclusive 'The Good Doctor' Clip: Orlando Bloom Goes Bad
When a movie has a title like "The Good Doctor," you can expect one of two things. Either, the title is earnest, and the film will be the story of a man or woman just striving to do good and help the community. Or, it's the opposite. The new film starring Orlando Bloom falls firmly in the latter category.
Today, MTV Movies Blog has an exclusive clip from the film, and in it, we get to see the kind of trouble this supposedly good doctor gets himself into.
Check out the clip above, and learn more about the film after the jump!
"The Good Doctor" tells the twisted story of a power-hungry med student (Bloom) that is the kind of doctor you want to keep away. In the clip above, he switches one of his patient's kidney medicine with sugar in order to keep her ill and coming back to him.
"The Good Doctor" is available on VOD and iTunes today and opens in theaters on August 31.

Переслать - 'Battle Royale' Could Be Turned Into A CW Show
"Battle Royale" might finally get its American remake, though not in the form we have expected.
According to the Los Angeles Times, teen-centric television station The CW is looking to turn the story from Koushun Takami's novel-turned-cult Japanese movie into an hour-long drama TV series. "Battle Royale" tells the story of a group of ninth grade Japanese students who are kidnapped and forced to fight to the death on a remote island under the Battle Royale Act.
If that sounds like a familiar concept, it's because it is. Though Takami's novel came out in 1999 and the film came out a year later, this "making children fight to the death" story became popularized in the States thanks to Suzanne Collins' "The Hunger Games." This sort of dystopian future has seen a surge in popularity ever since, and it's likely that The CW wants to give their own spin on "Battle Royale" in the wake of that.
Of course, nothing is set in stone yet. A CW spokesman told the LA Times that there have been some discussions about the project, but a Hollywood attorney who represents the American rights to the story said "there is no deal in place." Japanese law dictates that Takami would have to approve of any remake of his story as well, and those are some major hurdles to overcome before any "Battle Royale" TV series falls into place.
Still, it's easy to see where The CW is coming from and, after some initial hesitations about the idea, we agree that this could make for an interesting show... as long as The CW's series keeps the major themes presented in Takami's story in place. The CW has another post-apocalyptic, fight-to-the-death styled show in production called "The Selection," but the network sent it back to development after opting not to pick up the pilot. Maybe they decided that a more recognizable name would help them leverage their way into the dystopian apocalyptic genre. It will be interesting to see if anything ever comes of this germ of an idea, but it is an intriguing concept for now.

Переслать - 'Breaking Bad' Creator Vince Gilligan Wants To Do A Western Next
As "Breaking Bad" moves on toward its destined-to-be-horrific ending, we're awaiting eagerly to see how thing work out for Walter White, but we're probably just as curious about what the show's mastermind, Vince Gilligan, will move onto next.
At the Saturn Awards, the fine fellows from Collider talked with Gilligan about where he'll set his sights after saying good-bye to Mr. White. His answer couldn't have pleased us more.
He wants to do a "pullout-all-the-stops Western." Sold.
Learn more after the jump!
We frankly love the idea, and Gilligan seems eager to further explore the genre.
"I would love to do a Western. And in fact I think of Breaking Bad as a Western in a great many senses. We shoot in beautiful Albuquerque, New Mexico. The enormous skies with the beautiful cumulus clouds and the stark desert landscapes make me think of 'America,' " Gilligan told Collider. " Indeed [Billy the Kid], one of the most famous western outlaws of American history, his stomping grounds were New Mexico. And apparently Jesse James made his way out there at some point. There's also all this marvelous Western history that takes place in the Southwest and in large part in New Mexico. I feel lucky that we shoot there and I'd love after this is all over just to do a full-out, pullout-all-the-stops Western."
At this point, we would pretty much blindly follow Gilligan where ever he chooses to go next, but the idea of a Western from him only make it easier.

Переслать - Lady Gaga Dresses Appropriately For 'Machete Kills'
So far, the casting process for Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills" has made headlines with the addition of each new actor. First Rodriguez wanted Mel Gibson, and then he got Mel Gibson. Next thing you know, Charlie Sheen is playing the president of the United States.
Well, the latest cast member is a person we have come to expect the unexpected from, so it's not quite as surprising.
Lady Gaga has officially joined the cast of "Machete Kills," and Rodriguez tweeted out a picture of her in character for the announcement.
See the full image after the jump!
According to the image, Gaga will be playing a character called La Chameleón. All we really know about her at this point is her name, she "kicked SO MUCH ASS!" and she has a penchant for fur.
There's no release date yet for "Machete Kills," but Rodriguez is expected to move right onto "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" after this.

Переслать - Elisabeth Moss Will Return For Season Six of 'Mad Men'
By Ashleigh Schmitz
Fans of Elisabeth Moss on AMC's "Mad Men" can breathe a collective sigh of relief as creator Matthew Weiner confirms the actress will be back as Peggy Olson for the show's sixth season.
Moss "is going to be on the show next year," Weiner told TV Line. "I can't say how much, in what capacity or what [her story] is going to be, but she has not left the show."
Learn more after the jump!
Spoiler ahead!
In the fifth season Peggy quits her job at Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce and accepts an offer from a competing firm. Prior to her season five departure she had flirted with the idea of leaving and joining former Sterling Cooper ad man Duck Philips at his new firm, but chose to stay.
Peggy's career move was cause for concern because "when people leave Sterling Cooper, sometimes it is the end for [the character]," Weiner said.
Moss has earned Emmy nominations the last four years for her portrayal on "Mad Men" - in 2010 for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series and in 2009, 2011 and 2012 for outstanding lead actress in a drama series.

Переслать - Ben Stiller Not Currently Working On 'Zoolander 2,' 'Available' For 'Anchorman 2'
It's all well and good that Ben Stiller works consistently as the prolific writer/director/actor/all-around funnyman that he's made himself out to be. And while we're happy about all of his upcoming projects like this week's "The Watch" and next year's "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty," the movie we'd really like to see him make sooner rather than later is that long-rumored/delayed sequel to "Zoolander."
Stiller's co-star Owen Wilson has mentioned a few intriguing details about the plot of the proposed film, which he's affectionately dubbed "Twolander" or "Zoo 2," in recent years, but since we haven't heard anything from Derek himself lately, we had to get an update from Stiller when MTV News caught up with him during the "Watch" press day.
According to the film's IMDb page, which we all know tend to include "creative interpretations" of facts every now and again, Stiller's "Watch" co-star Jonah Hill is "rumored" to be involved with "Zoolander 2." We asked Hill and Stiller for their thoughts on the subject and of course, the reliability of those IMDb "facts."
"Sure [I'd do it], if he hires me," Hill said.
"Yeah if we're going to make Zoolander 2," Stiller added. "This is what's great about IMDb, it just takes information and wrangles it into some weird Internet thing. But yeah, we're not even making the movie right now but I would do it with you," he said to Hill, putting special emphasis on the "do it," which sent the "21 Jump Street," star into a fit of giggles.
Alright so someday when "Zoolander 2" finally starts filming, Jonah Hill might do it with Stiller, Wilson and Co. Next up on our future movie fact-finding agenda was to find out whether or not Stiller's hilarious and macho Spanish-speaking TV reporter from "Anchorman" will be featured in "Anchorman 2."
"Oh, I have not been asked but I'm available," Stiller said. "I was happy to be a part of [the first movie]."

Переслать - 'The Hobbit' Images Tease Riddles In The Dark
We might not be able to see the exclusive "The Hobbit" footage that was shown at Comic-Con, but at least we can get a closer look at Gollum.
E! News has premiered two new images of our favorite cave-dwelling, ring-losing "Lord of the Rings" characters that fans can also see in the upcoming issue of Empire magazine. The first image shows the final product of Gollum in all his CGI glory, while the second shows Andy Serkis in full motion-capture uniform acting opposite Martin Freeman.
Both of these images seem to take place during the famous "The Hobbit" cave scene, which could be one of the potential splitting points for the two movies. In the famous scene, Bilbo Baggins encounters Gollum for the first time and also gets ahold of the One Ring.
Of course, "The Hobbit" could actually be split into three movies instead of two. We have mixed feelings on the matter, but reports have it that Peter Jackson is looking to turn the movies into a trilogy. "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and "There and Back Again" are both padded with extra material from the Appendices at the end of "The Return of the King," and Jackson claims there's a good 125 more pages that he can cull from for a new film.
"The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" comes out December 14, and "The Hobbit: There And Back Again" hits theaters December 13, 2013. A third movie would likely come out on December 2014. "The Hobbit" stars Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellan, Evangeline Lilly, Cate Blanchett and many more.
