“The Three Stooges” stars Jane Lynch and Kate Upton will act as Grand Marshals for the Daytona 500, NASCAR’S most prestigious race. The stars who will play Larry, Moe and Curly–Sean Hayes, Chris Diamantopoulos, and Will Sasso–will start the proceedings by delivering the green flag.

While everyone is looking forward to the final installment of Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” series, “The Dark Knight Rises,” one thing people will not be looking forward to is a world in which Christopher Nolan’s “Batman” universe will no longer be explored. With the prospect for Batman being rebooted almost immediately after “The Dark Knight Rises” (supposedly in 2014), it will be tough for anyone else to bring anything new to the franchise, at least in my book. To get everyone ready for the inevitable remakes, The L.A. Times’ Hero Complex has partnered with graphic artist Sean Hartter to create posters for 15 “what if” reboots for the “Batman” franchise. My…

According to CinemaBlend, Paul Giamatti suggested to IFC during the Sundance Film Festival that the film adaptation of Eric Powell’s comic “The Goon” might not be getting made due to the lack of funds. “I have no idea what the hell happened,” he said in the interview. “I asked and no one knows. I guess they just ran out of money.” However, CinemaBlend has posted an update on “The Goon,” and it appears that Giamatti put his foot in his mouth. According to the update, Powell went to his website to tell the truth about the fate of the movie. According to Powell, the film is still in development and…

The last “Hangover” film didn’t get a great critical review–in fact, it was all but panned by critics. Usually, the general audience can give a film a bit of a pass, but audiences hated this film, too. So why is another “Hangover” getting made? Probably because of huge box-office returns. That can only be the reason why another installment is being made. Due to the fact that “The Hangover” franchise is a big money maker, the stars of the film–Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Zach Galifianakis–are vying for more money for their time and energy. According to Slash Film, the actors are wanting $15 million each. The article sites The…

A while ago, MTV recognized the massive fandoms behind comic blockbuster films “The Avengers” and “The Dark Knight Rises” could provide a huge showdown when MTV created their MTV Movie Brawl. It was a knock-out, drag-down fight, but in the end, “The Dark Knight Rises” beat “The Avengers” by a narrow percentage of the votes. MTV has provided an analysis of the results, citing the facts that the higher stakes, the lovable factor of Alfred’s (Michael Caine) voice-over versus Nick Fury’s (Samuel L. Jackson) voice-over in “The Avengers,” and the villain Bane (Tom Hardy) gave “The Dark Knight Rises” the edge on “The Avengers.” However, MTV also gives points to…

A lot of military stories ladle on audio-visual artifice, in an attempt to create an impactful audience identification with the disorienting nature of war or its psychological after-effects. “Return,” however, is a subjective document that plays out against the banality of everyday existence, wherein crisis unfolds in slow motion, and sometimes almost imperceptible strokes. The film stars Linda Cardellini as Kelli, a Rust Belt supply line soldier who comes back from a tour of duty and experiences a vague, free-floating sense of dislocation from her plumber husband Mike (Michael Shannon) and two young girls, and in the din of domestic homecoming dramas, the film is a striking, humane, low-fi offering….
