Already Bored With Michael Cera
October 6, 2008
There are circumstances when an actor who always seems to be the exact same bloody guy is forgivable. When you go to see a Steven Seagal motion picture (do people still go to see Steven Seagal movies?), you anticipate to see Steven Seagal, nothing more, nothing less. Certain action heroes or 1 schtick comedians […]
There are circumstances when an actor who always seems to be the exact same bloody guy is forgivable. When you go to see a Steven Seagal movie (do people still go to see Steven Seagal movies?), you expect to see Steven Seagal, nothing more, nothing less. Certain action heroes or 1 schtick comedians are assumed to be the same guy each time… and to some degree that can work.
However, for the most part it becomes an annoying and often distracting trait when a performer seems incapable of being anything other than one character. Today’s case in point is former Arrested Development star Michael Cera.
Sunshine Cleaning Movie Trailer
October 6, 2008
What happened to Sunshine Cleaning? The film premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but was met with some disappointment when attendees realized that it wasn’t the next Little Miss Sunshine. A fair comparison considering much of the pre-festival buzz came from the fact that it was produced by the same guys, has “Sunshine” in […]
What happened to Sunshine Cleaning? The film premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, but was met with some disappointment when attendees realized that it wasn’t the next Little Miss Sunshine. A fair comparison considering much of the pre-festival buzz came from the fact that it was produced by the same guys, has “Sunshine” in the title and even features a couple of the same cast members, including Academy Award winner Alan Arkin. If you can look beyond those preconceptions, you’ll probably enjoy this dark and sometimes morbid dramedy.Rose Lorkorswki (Amy Adams), a former high school cheerleader and now a thirty-something maid, is trying to create a superior life for herself and eccentric eight-year-old son Oscar. Her burn-out younger sister Norah (Emily Blunt) still lives at home with their dad Joe (Alan Arkin), who;s on the latest of a life-long string of get-rich-quick schemes. When Rose learns of the huge money to be made in the crime scene cleaning and bio-hazard removal business, she and Norah partner up to create their own company, Sunshine Cleaning. The film sold to Overture films for an estimated $2 million. A July 2008 release date was originally announced, but now the film is scheduled to hit theaters sometime in 2009. Check out the trailer below. Tell me what you think in the comments!

Stay Classy: DirecTV’s Poltergeist Commerical with Dead Heather O’Rourke
October 5, 2008
Last night, I was listening to Tom Scharpling’s “The Best Show,” and the topic was haunted movies. Mid-conversation he brings up his disgust with the new ad for DirecTV featuring a living Craig T. Nelson and a nicely preserved Heather O’Rourke milking Poltgergeist in time for Halloween. Though I had seen this ad days just […]
Last night, I was listening to Tom Scharpling’s “The Best Show,” and the topic was haunted movies. Mid-conversation he brings up his disgust with the new ad for DirecTV featuring a living Craig T.

Tom Rothman Talks ‘Daredevil’ Reboot
October 5, 2008
Early last month, Variety published a rather scathing look at 20th Century Fox’s summer receipts and mentioned the studio was digging through its collection of superheroes with an eye on getting some of that blockbuster mojo back. It wasn’t surprising to see more X-Men spin-offs and sequels being talked about — but what did raise a few eyebrows was the inclusion of Daredevil. The Man with No Fear had a pretty disastrous debut in 2003, and his girlfriend/nemesis Elektra fared even worse.
IESB caught up with Fox’s co-chairman, Tom Rothman, and pressed him on the subject of revisiting Daredevil. It’s more than a passing fancy in the trades — Fox is thinking “very seriously” of a reboot. Says Rothman: “I think that the thing the Hulk showed, even though it did what it did, is that it is possible that if you really do it right the audience will give you a second chance. That it is possible. And I think that you see that when they did Batman Begins, the first Nolan motion picture, that you can have made some mistakes along the way or movies that the audience wasn’t that crazy about and then given the proper amount of time and the right creative vision behind it, you can, to use your word, reboot.”

Yes, this is The Motion picture Blog, but sometimes when important or tragic events happen in our world that remind us that there are significantly more important things than movies out there (hard to imagine), we stop our regular routine to at least make a mention of it. It doesn’t happen often, but it does from time to time. The American presidential election is upon us, an event that’ll literally shape the way the world looks in the coming years, and while I’ve tried to keep my mouth shut as long as I can, recent events compel me to talk my (limited and not the brightest) mind.
