Title: The Words Director: Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal Cast: Dennis Quaid, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Jeremy Irons and Olivia Wilde Writing is a fundamental practice in communication. To make yourself understood through written words is probably the most engaging and intimate feeling you can have with someone without actually meeting them. Through your words is how we know you. So in Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal’s film, “The Words,” examines the truth behind words but only does it in a piecemeal, surface level and cinematically lazy way, that I question why couldn’t these words be more clear. After all, aspiring for mediocrity is a fool’s errand. “The Words” follows…

I’m loving the casting news coming out about the “Star Trek” sequel. First Noel Clarke, next Benedict Cumberbatch (who is, according to benedictcumberbatch.co.uk, playing a villain that is probably not going to be a villain previously associated with the franchise–could the rumors be right in that he’s playing Q after all?), and now Entertainment Weekly is reporting that Nazneen Contractor from “24″ has been added to the casting roster. According to Entertainment Weekly, Contractor will play the wife of Clarke’s character. However, we still don’t know who Clarke is playing aside from someone who is being described as “a family man with a wife and young daughter.” Another actor joining…

Well the promise of a sequel has finally come true. It was only just a matter of time. Now, Deadline is reporting that the new “Star Trek” film will have a release date of May 17th 2013. That’s right! In only a year and a half from now, we’ll be sitting in a movie theater watching the sequel to the widely popular re-boot/re-launch of the “Star Trek” franchise. And not only will we be sitting in a movie theater, we’ll be wearing 3D glasses, ready to enjoy the movie. Along with the release date, an announcement of the sequel being released in 3D, which seems like a common practice these…

Paul Reubens has been tapped to receive this year’s Visionary Award at Spike TV’s Scream Awards. Reubens will be receiving the award for his iconic character, Pee-wee Herman. Reubens’ character was created in 1978 and was the main character of the 22-time Emmy winning show “Pee-wee’s Playhouse.” Reubens went on to make the film “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure” with director Tim Burton and go on Broadway with “The Pee-wee Herman Show.” “If Pee-wee were giving this quote, I think he’d scream out ‘I’m a visionary! I’m a visionary!’ and then run to the dictionary to look up what visionary means,” said Reubens about the award. “But I know what it means,…

Title: Colombiana Director: Olivier Megaton Starring: Zoe Saldana, Michael Vartan, Cliff Curtis, Amandla Stenberg, Jordi Molla, Lennie James, Callum Blue Lesson #1 bad guys: When you’re in the process of wiping out someone, be sure to take out the entire family. Yes, even the kids; for one day, they will grow up big-n-strong (or in this case, sexy and borderline anorexic) and seek vengeance upon you. A tale of revenge is what the 107 minute Colombiana showcases. It’s another femme fatale action piece in which the main character has a Crow-like desire to avenge her slain loved ones, but institutes a spy-like approach when stalking her prey. The opening takes…

Back in the day, Bill Cosby’s “Leonard Part 6″ didn’t have much luck introducing itself to audiences as an original product with a higher integer in its title, and the teen-lilting sci-fi action adventure “I Am Number Four” perhaps elicited similar confusion when it bowed in theaters earlier this February. Unimpressive domestic returns ($55 million), however, might not have sullied the chances of survival for this adaptation of the first in a proposed six-book series cowritten by James Frey (yes, the lying author emasculated by Oprah Winfrey) and Jobie Hughes. If it returns, one will have both international markets (where it grossed $90 million) and the presence of Teresa Palmer,…
