Title: Footloose Directed By: Craig Brewer Written By: Dean Pitchford, Craig Brewer Cast: Kenny Wormald, Julianne Hough, Dennis Quaid, Andie MacDowell Screened at: AMC Lincoln Square, NYC, 10/10/11 Opens: October 14, 2011 Is there anything that Kenny Wormald can’t do? He looks great, he can dance, he can do gymnastics, he can speak eloquently. He might even become this generation’s James Dean. We’d want to see him again in a movie that’s more serious than the enjoyable albeit trivial “Footloose,” a remake of Herbert Ross’s 1984 film that gave a great push to Kevin Bacon’s career. There’s every reason to remake the film for the current generation of teens and…

Title: Footloose (2011) Directed by: Craig Brewer (‘Hustle & Flow,’ ‘Black Snake Moan’) Starring: Kenny Wormald ‘(‘Center Stage: Turn It Up’), Julianne Hough (‘Burlesque,’ TV’s ‘Dancing With the Stars’) and Dennis Quaid Some films so perfectly capture the voice of a generation that even the mention of remaking it brings criticisms by loyal fans. ‘Footloose,’ which helped launch Kevin Bacon’s career when it was released in 1984, is one such movie. Teens were able to relate to Bacon’s rebellious character, Ren MacCormack, who tirelessly questioned the authority of the adults running his town. The new ‘Footloose’ remake, which was directed and co-written by Craig Brewer and is being released by…

With filming currently underway in Bean town, some new set photos of officer Ryan Reynolds and the villainous Kevin Bacon working on R.I.P.D. have been released. Photos of the crime/comedy (being directed by Robert Schwentke) shows Reynolds and Bacon along with a red hot Dodge Challenger on the Boston set with production now fully underway. With the duo mainly dressed in black, the pics of the two looked as though they were under friendly terms, even though they are enemies, as MTV has pointed out. Also appearing in the Dark Horse comic adaption originally from creator Peter M. Lenkov, is Weed’s star Mary-Louise Parker, and Jeff Bridges on board as…

Title: Crazy, Stupid, Love Directors: Glenn Ficarra and John Requa (‘I Love You Phillip Morris’) Starring: Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, Julianne Moore, Emma Stone, Kevin Bacon Sometimes the people we thought we knew can turn around and surprise us. That can be said about both Steve Carell and his character, Cal Weaver, in the new Warner Bros. romantic comedy-drama ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love;’ not only does Cal completely change his lifestyle and personality after he found out his wife cheated on him and wants to end their relationship, but the former ‘Office’ star proved what a diverse actor he can be with the role. Both Cal and Carell were thrown into…

Its sequel, also from director James Cameron and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, was a worldwide smash that stood at the forefront of a special effects revolution, but a lot of folks forget the brutal, streamlined efficiency of 1984′s The “Terminator”, which laid all the groundwork for the labyrinthine Skynet conspiracies of a trio of other futuristic-killing-machine flicks as well as assorted media tie-ins and even, eventually, screaming Christian Bale soundboards. The film was part of distributor Sony’s first wave of Blu-ray titles five years ago (and arguably the most preferable, given company like “50 First Dates”, “Hitch” and “xXx”), but gets another pass with this special, limited edition Blu-ray release, in…
