Lock-Out, which on certain days goes by the alternate title MS: Maximum Security One, is the latest product from French action filmmaker Luc Besson's (La Femme Nikita) assembly line of big-budget drive-in movies, and judging from the early previews it's shaping up to be one of the best.

Watch Now: ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ Fan-Made Opening Credits

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 02:37 PM PST

There hasn't been an opening credits sequence on a Batman movie since the campy and interminable Batman & Robin. Christopher Nolan usually saves them for the end credits. But that didn't stop Bat-fan and budding filmmaker Doğan Can Gündoğdu from fulfilling his vision of an opening credits montage for The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan's farewell to Gotham City (but not the cinematic DC universe - he's producing the new Superman movie Man of Steel).

You can watch the fan-made video here below [...]

First Look At James McAvoy In ‘Welcome To The Punch’

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 12:00 PM PST

What's in a title?

Based on the title of Welcome To The Punch, one can expect something really intense, right? Well, based on the first photo from the upcoming film, that may be exactly what we will be getting.

Screen Daily has the first look at the new film starring James McAvoy, which follows a criminal who must try to save his son after a job goes wrong, only to have his history come and bite him in the behind [...]

Movie Review: Perfect Sense

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 11:00 AM PST

Perfect Sense
DIRECTOR: David Mackenzie
WRITER: Kim Fupz Aakeson
STARRING: Eva Green, Ewan McGregor, Ewen Bremner, Stephen Dillane, Connie Nielsen
IFC Films
RELEASE DATE: US: February 3, 2012 (limited); UK: DVD Pre-Order; Also available on VOD services now

When it comes to difficult decisions, choosing which of the best-known apocalyptic scenarios---post-nuclear, zombie, viral, alien invasion, natural disasters, the rise of the machines, and so on---you'd rather deal with is probably about as difficult as they come. None of those sound very fun at all. Unless of course you've seen too many movies or played too many video games and think that you could flourish in such an environment, in which case I wish you the very best of luck, Mad Max. [...]

Relativity’s Snow White Movie ‘Mirror Mirror’ Moves Its Release Date

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 10:00 AM PST

Of the two upcoming Snow White feature films, the one question mark remains Relativity and Tarsem Singh's take on the tale, Mirror Mirror.

Only a few months away, the film already has spawned one of the worst trailers of recent memory---or at least one of the most laughable---and now, it's even found itself a slight delay. [...]

Rainn Wilson’s Dwight Schrute Getting An ‘Office’ Spin-Off

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 09:00 AM PST

Color this writer far from shocked.

Deadline is reporting that NBC is looking to give their beloved character, Dwight Schrute from The Office, his own show with a mid-season 2013 debut being eyed.

Played by Rainn Wilson, Schrute is one of the most beloved characters on the show, particularly since Steve Carell left. Originally thought of as the leader of the pack of possible lead replacements, NBC appears to be going somewhere different with the character, making the fate of the show proper something of a question.

Mugshot: Armie Hammer arrested for marijuana possession

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:53 PM PST

Armie Hammer continues to look good even in his mugshot photo which was taken in November after he was arrested for marijuana possession in Sierra Nevada, Texas.

Cops found in his possession are pot cookies and a brownie. The "Social Network" star spent a day in jail and was released by paying $1,000 bond.

He now joined the ranks of Willie Nelson and Snoop Dogg.

"I don't ever want to be that person whose self-image overtakes who they are. I am not a fan of working out that much," she reveals. "There's no regimen. There's no personal trainer.
"For a while there, I put out a single, and I was like, 'I gotta get in shape man, I'm going on a diet.' And then I realized that's ridiculous. I'm happy with how I look, and I'm not gonna you know… if I want to eat a cheeseburger it's going to happen."

In Touch: LeAnn Rimes Wants a Baby, But Doesn’t Want to Gain Weight

Posted: 27 Jan 2012 06:03 AM PST

… because her husband likes skinny girls. Let’s see the full story:

As LeAnn Rimes' one-year wedding anniversary with husband Eddie Cibrian approaches, she is eager to give him the best gift ever – a baby. In fact, LeAnn wants to have a child with Eddie – who has two sons, Mason and Jake, with ex-wife Brandi Glanville – more than anything in the world.

But LeAnn is already struggling to overcome a major roadblack: "She doesn't want to gain the weight!" a source reveals to In Touch. The reason? A size 0, LeAnn is afraid that when she gets pregnant, Eddie will be turned off be her bloated body. In fact, says the source, LeAnn heard that Eddie stopped having sex with Brandi when she was expecting both Mason and Jake.

"Eddie loves petite girls – the thinner the better," says the source. But LeAnn knows she won't be able to maintain her skeletal figure while pregnant. "She fears that Eddie will stray or stop having sex with her if she gains any baby weight."

Now, she's having second thoughts, the source says, "LeAnn is truly torn over this." In fact, she's so desperate to come up with a solution, she's even looking using a surrogate mother, the source says.

The dilemma is driving her crazy, and friends think she is making a huge mistake by putting her looks before her desire to start a family.

"Everyone knows how hard LeAnn worked for her body," says the source. "But it would be really selfish and a shame if she lets that prevent her from becoming a mom."

Video: Matthew Broderick Becomes Ferris Bueller Again For Super Bowl Commercial

A very short preview of what appears to be Matthew Broderick jumping back into his most famous character, the title role in 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, for an upcoming Super Bowl commercial has found its way online.

What the commercial is for or what Bueller might be up to is not yet know, but he appears to be in a rather lovely hotel. Has he gone on to make millions as most would have expected him to do, or is he just up to his old tricks, using his charm to get what he wants? Will his best friends be making cameos? Who knows!

Monty Python To Reunite For ‘Absolutely Anything’

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 05:00 PM PST

Before you get too excited, no, Monty Python is not officially reuniting for some more Flying Circus action. It does appear, however, that the remaining members of the legendary comedy troupe will once again be combining their talents for an upcoming movie titled Absolutely Anything, which is set to be directed by Pythoner Terry Jones.

The movie will be a sci-fi comedy that combines live action and CGI. It tells the story of a group of aliens who choose a human to give the incredible power to do, well...quite literally absolutely anything just to see how badly they mess things up with their new abilities. [...]

Yes. Throughout their history, The Criterion Collection has been the bastion of the purest of pure arthouse and intellectual cinema. Be it their presence on home video, giving the world class A copies of classics like The Seven Samurai or the greatest film ever made, a.k.a. Godard's Breathless or their theatrical releases by backers Janus Film, who helped singlehandedly created the arthouse format.

Gary Oldman Earns His First Oscar Nomination For ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’

When the Academy Award nominations were announced on Tuesday morning many expected debates were sparked about who was left out and who shouldn't have been nominated in the first place, but for one of the nominees in the Best Actor category, the announcement was a long time in the making.

Gary Oldman has been acting for more than three decades, and in that time he has aged gracefully from an intense and hungry young actor to a classy and dignified performer who can bring great amounts of gravitas to every character he plays. [...]

Rumor Madness: Xbox 720 To Be PowerPC CPU With Blu-ray, Kinect; Block Used Games?

Allow me to start off with a statement: in no way am I personally ready for the next generation gaming consoles to be released in the next year or two. And surely many others share this opinion as well. It feels like we're just getting to the point where game developers can really optimize the current systems' abilities, and to start all over again with a new system---especially considering how often we've seen hardware failures and other such problems---does not need to be rushed at all.

All of that said, we've been hearing many whispers about the next-gen consoles and when they might be released for a while now. [...]

Back in 2009 Casey Pugh put out a call to Star Wars fans and budding filmmakers everywhere to help create one of the most ambitious and beloved displays of appreciation for George Lucas' standard-setting space opera saga ever seen. Internet users everywhere were asked to remake Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope 15 seconds at a time. Two years after the project began Star Wars Uncut: The Director's Cut has been completed and is now available to watch online, or at least until Darth Lucas and his cadre of high-priced lawyers file a cease-and-desist order due to the film's extensive use of Star Wars footage and audio.

The clever people over at io9 have assembled the better parts of the first three films in the series - Underworld (2003), Underworld: Evolution (2006), and the prequel Underworld: Rise of the Lycans - into a three minute video. [...]

Tim Gunn: "I haven't had sex in 29 years"

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 12:33 AM PST

Talking about long dry spell!!!

The adorable "Project Runway" mentor Tim Gunn gave a shocking revelation ---- He has been celibate for 29 years!

Tim's decision of no sex in almost three decades was due to his unforgettable experience of a past relationship.

He explained during ABC's The Revolution,

"Do I feel like less of a person for it? No. Not even remotely," and added "It's very personal. I was in a very intense relationship for a long time. And my partner ended it, saying that, quite frankly, he was impatient with my sexual performance."

Tim's self-imposed celibacy was also due to the increasing AIDS epidemic going on.

He managed to remain happy even without being intimate, saying, "I'm a perfectly happy fulfilled individual."

The good thing for the "make it work" guy that he's happy and has positive outlook.

John Travolta's stolen Mercedes-Benz Recovered; Suspects Arrested!

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 06:50 PM PST

John Travolta got a bittersweet reunion with his stolen hot vintage sports car! The cops recovered his 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL but sorry to say, the car is in very bad condition.

According to reports, authorities arrested two men, members of a sophisticated auto-theft ring. The car was chopped to pieces and the police were only able to recover bits of the interior and certain parts of the exterior.

September of last year, Travolta's 1970 Mercedes-Benz 280SL disappeared in Santa Monica while visiting a Jaguar dealership. He left his convertible at a parking spot on Berkeley Street --- after 10 minutes the pricey vintage car is gone!

The car's estimate value is $100,000 --- now, you can only say OUCH!

Star: “Angelina Jolie Is 98 Pounds”

Posted: 26 Jan 2012 07:59 AM PST

Last month, we had a story that claimed that Angelina ‘feels too guilty too eat’ (see it here) and it seems that the gossip on the brunette beauty’s eating habits never stops. Star magazine claims that Angelina is only 98 pounds / 45 kg and headed to rehab – Let’s see the full story from the magazine:

Angelina Jolie is working so hard that she may be risking her own health and the health of her alleged baby, according to Star magazine.

A source tells the mag that the never-ending mix of Angie's charities, promoting her directorial debut film — In the Land of Blood and Honey — being a mom of six, AND pregnant with another kid on the way has caused her to near a severe breakdown.

"Angelina hardly ever eats, and she rarely gets more than four or fice hours of sleep a night. And she gets terribly depressed, to the point where she is inconsolable," a source tells Star. "Angelina's been very emotional lately and cries at the drop of a hat… Everyone close to her fears she's biting off more than she can chew. They're afraid she's on the verge of suffering a completely breakdown."

What impresses me most is that they've stuck to the characteristics of the Turtles, but yet, there's a tangible tension at times between the four brothers [...]

Ryan Reynolds and Reese Witherspoon Join ‘Big Eyes’ For Tim Burton

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 04:00 PM PST

Very few names pop up that are quite as harsh on the ears as one Tim Burton.

Over the past few years, Burton's career has fallen on hard times, making a fine amount of money at the box office, but becoming something of a critical pariah. But now, as producer, things may be changing as he's got one hell of a cast for his next flick.

THR is reporting that both Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Reynolds have joined the cast of his new project, a biopic entitled Big Eyes. [...]

Zeta-Jones plays Dr. Erica Siebert. [...]

Steve Niles and Menton3′s ‘Nosferatu Wars’ Comes To ‘Dark Horse Presents’

Dark Horse Comics announced Monday that Steve Niles and Menton3's Nosferatu Wars is coming to the pages of Dark Horse Presents later this year.

A while back, Steve Niles posted some artwork for the upcoming Nosferatu Wars on his twitter account, and while he's intent on going creator owned, I for one wondered what publisher this comic would be released through. I figured that it was a safe assumption that the book would be coming out through IDW considering his working relationship with the publisher on his new 30 Days of Night ongoing series. [...]

Edgar Wright & Simon Pegg Hint At ‘Shaun Of The Dead,’ ‘Hot Fuzz’ Follow-Up

Posted: 25 Jan 2012 09:00 AM PST

It's hard to put into words just how good Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are. Because of this, fans of the movies have been impatiently awaiting the arrival of the third movie in what's often times called the "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy."

The movies aren't connected apart from the never-fail combination of director Edgar Wright and stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, as well as their very basic recipe: take a popular genre (horror, action, _____?), introduce generous slice of comedic fried gold,, and run wild with it. Oh, right, and a sprinkle of blood and ice cream to enhance flavor, of course. [...]

Watch Alcatraz Pilot Episode Online

Alcatraz Pilot Episode synopsis -When San Francisco Police Department Det. Rebecca Madsen (Sarah Jones) is assigned to a grisly homicide case, a fingerprint leads her to Jack Sylvane (Jeffrey Pierce), a former Alcatraz Island prisoner who died decades ago. Given her family history— both her grandfather and surrogate uncle, Ray Archer (Robert Forster), were guards at the prison —Madsen’s interest is immediately piqued, and once the enigmatic, knows-everything-but-tells-nothing government agent Emerson Hauser (Sam Neill) tries to impede her investigation, she is doggedly committed.

Madsen turns to Alcatraz expert and comic book enthusiast Dr. Diego “Doc” Soto (Jorge Garcia) to piece together the inexplicable sequence of events. The twosome discovers that Sylvane is not only alive, but he is loose on the streets of San Francisco, leaving bodies in his wake. And strangely, he has not aged a day since he was in Alcatraz, when the prison was ruled by the iron-fisted Warden Edwin James (Jonny Coyne) and the merciless Associate Warden E.B. Tiller (Jason Butler Harner).

So there you have it folks. With that synopsis alone for the pilot episode, what more do you need to know that this will be one great tv series that you should definitely watch! So visit this site regularly and don’t miss to watch Alcatraz episodes online! Cheers!

Book Review: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Written by Mark Twain
Illustrations by Eric Powell
Hardback
IDW Publishing
Release Date: January 24, 2012

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn as adapted by Eric Powell is more than just a newly illustrated accompaniment to Mark Twain's classic novel. Recently, new editions of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn have been released replacing the controversial language of the 19th century original. However, publisher IDW and artist Eric Powell made the conscious decision to release this adaptation as it was initially published. This illustrated version represents an independent publisher rejecting the idea of censoring an American classic. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn illustrated by Eric Powell is a wonderful way to revisit this piece of classic American literature [...]

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 03:00 PM PST

Comixology and IDW Publishing announced today that they will be offering a half off, 99-cent sale for IDW's recent crossover event Infestation.

Now, you know how crossover events work, right? A comic book publishing company schedules a mini-series that "changes the face of the comic book company forever!" You know about those right? All the big companies do them. And you also may know that IDW has a lot of licensed properties and there's not a lot of marriage between those comic book titles, as well. Right? Well, you'd be right on all those accounts. So, if it's hard to wrap your brain around, I totally understand. It's hard for me, too. But in 2011, it actually happened! That is correct, sir or madame, IDW tied together their universe with a zombie outbreak story that infected and affected the pages and characters of Star Trek, Transformers, G.I. Joe, and Ghostbusters. That's both insane and awesome, isn't it? I mean, I don't know how it works, but I'd love to see a zombie Transformer [...]

Elisha Cuthbert Is in Shape

Posted: 24 Jan 2012 04:10 PM PST

29 year-old Elisha Cuthbert is in Shape Magazine this month, where she talks about her weight, fitness and favorite foods:

On her weight:
“I must have great genes because I got away with the minimum amount of exercise for a very long time! It wasn’t until I turned 25 that I noticed I wasn’t in shape.”

On fitness:
“I had to make fitness a part of my life. I started running six days a week for about 45 minutes and hitting the gym to strength-train. And recently I’ve gotten into yoga; I like how it keeps my body limber.”

On her Valentine’s Day menu plans:
“There’s nothing more romantic than Italian food. I’ll probably start with heirloom tomatoes and burrata cheese, then serve my homemade vegetable lasagna, along with a nice glass of Chianti. I don’t bake, so I’ll get something delicious from the bakery for dessert. When it comes to sweets, I give myself a free pass and allow some splurging.”

P.S.: Do you remember the time when Elisha was placed in New York Post’s ‘Fat List’ (a choice they justified with the picture below)? Check out this post!

Kelly Brook Is Back in Lingerie and Brings Today’s Quote

Kelly Brook is the face and body of New Look underwear and since she looks best in lacey lingerie, she’s back to showing off her hot curves in a new set of ads. And with this occasion, she also bring by a few thoughts:

‘My regime is: walk everywhere, have regular steam room sessions to get rid of toxins and find a good water. And plenty of sex – it’s a great cardio workout! My secret to instant sex appeal is confidence and being with someone who makes you feel like you’re the only girl in the world.’

… says 32 year-old Kelly.

DVD Review: Belle De Jour [The Criterion Collection]

Posted: 23 Jan 2012 06:53 PM PST

Belle De Jour
DVD | Blu-ray
Directed by Luis Bunuel
Starring Catherine Deneuve, Michel Piccoli, Genevieve Page
The Criterion Collection
Release date: January 17, 2012

When digging through the history of film, very few filmmakers had quite the career of one Luis Bunuel. The surrealist icon first started in the short film medium (giving the world classics like Un Chien Andalou) only to get behind some of the most intriguing pictures of his generation, none of the cult auteur's canon may be quite as beloved as his fantastical Belle De Jour.

Featuring Bunuel's patented themes of human desire and pleasure, Belle feels like the physical manifestation of each and every single aspect of the surrealist belief structure, all in the guise of one of the most beautiful and complex pieces of narrative from one of film's most interesting directors [...]

Today marks the beginning of Chinese New Year, the 15-day celebration in Asian cultures filled with gift-giving, family reunions, festivals, fireworks, and wishes of good luck and prosperity in the coming year.

In honor of 2012 being the Year Of The Dragon, author Neil Gaiman sent out a message to his Chinese friends with a drawing of what he says is a "wobbly dragon."

I just drew a wobbly dragon for my Chinese friends. He's based on a picture I saw of an ancient dragon who had three toes but was still Chinese...

I don't know if anyone's going to be able to see this photo posted here, in China. Last time I was there, this blog was cut off by the Great Firewall, but I post for it anyone who can: 恭喜发财

Check out here below a photo Gaiman posted on his blog of himself holding up the drawing [...]

Must Watch: 5 Year Old Nails Eric Carr’s KISS Drum Solo

Posted: 23 Jan 2012 08:01 AM PST

When it comes to matters pertaining to the band KISS, I always confess quite a level of bias, having been a fan since 1987 – and particularly a fan of late drummer Eric Carr. Besides this meaning I've been a member of the KISS army for 25 years now, I always keep my eyes peeled for something of interest when it pops up on the web.

Look no further than a video I stumbled across today that I'm sure even rock fans in general, drummers, and our regular readers here at Geeks of Doom may find will bring a smile to your face. [...]

Heidi Klum and Seal Confirmed their Separation

Posted: 23 Jan 2012 04:06 PM PST

Supermodel Heidi Klum and husband Seal finally confirmed to the public about the sad news -- In a released statement, the two confirmed their separation after seven years of marriage and the decision was mutual. Their children remains their top priority.

38 year-old Project Runaway host said in a statement:

"While we have enjoyed seven very loving, loyal and happy years of marriage, after much soul-searching we have decided to separate. We have had the deepest respect for one another throughout our relationship and continue to love each other very much, but we have grown apart. This is an amicable process and protecting the well-being of our children remains our top priority, especially during this time of transition.

"We thank our family, friends, and fans for their kind words of support. And for our children's sake, we appreciate you respecting our privacy."

Heidi and Seal tied the knot in May of 2005 and have three biological children together: Henry, Johan, and Lou. Seal also adopted Heidi's daughter Leni.

Penn State's Joe Paterno Dies at Age 85

Posted: 22 Jan 2012 05:49 PM PST

Legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno passed away Sunday morning after suffering complications with his lung cancer.

The Paterno family issued a statement: "It is with great sadness that we announce that Joe Paterno passed away earlier today. His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled."

"He died as he lived. He fought hard until the end, stayed positive, thought only of others and constantly reminded everyone of how blessed his life had been. His ambitions were far reaching, but he never believed he had to leave this Happy Valley to achieve them. He was a man devoted to his family, his university, his players and his community."

He was among the first three active coaches to be inducted into the National Football Foundation's College Hall of Fame, in 2007.

Joe served his 46-year career life as head coach to Penn State but he was fired after the sex abuse scandal involving his former assistant Jerry Sandusky.

Joe Paterno...RIP
