2011 Razzies Shortlist: The Worst Films and Performances of 2010

Paul Young — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 18:35:19 +0000

As the ball dropped in Times Square and people everywhere sang inebriated versions of “Auld Lang Syne”, it marked the end of a lukewarm movie year. With 557 movies released in 2010, some of them were truly good and others were excruciatingly bad. People could argue all day about what makes a movie truly bad, but thankfully we have the 31^st annual Golden Raspberry Awards to help us sort the chaff from the wheat.

Although the official list of nominees won’t release until January 24^th, the L.A. Times Award Tracker blog has released the shortlist of nominees for the coveted “Razzie” or Golden Raspberry Award.

The categories this year are pretty much the same as last year – Worst Screenplay, Worst Director, Worst Supporting Actor/Actress, Worst Actor/Actress, ...

DVD/Blu-ray Breakdown: June 8, 2010

Mike Eisenberg — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 10:43:55 +0000

Last week’s DVD/Blu-ray release line-up was a brilliant one for home video crowds with a flurry of big releases. This week has a few worth the trip itself, but the number has dropped dramatically.

Thankfully, those popular titles from theaters at the beginning of this year are finally popping up in stores. We’ve got a Leonardo DiCaprio mind-bender, a John Travolta shoot ‘em up, a classic comedy and a piece of magic.

All of the following releases can be found on DVD and Blu-ray.

NEW RELEASES

Shutter Island - While our own Kofi Outlaw reviewed the film and gave it a 3.5 out of 5, I personally loved it. Martin Scorsese’s mind-bending experience was just as predictable ...

From Paris with Love Review

Paul Young — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 01:18:07 +0000

If shoot outs, explosions, mayhem and clichés are your idea of a good movie, then From Paris with Love is for you; if not, you might want to wait for the rental.

Screen Rant’s Paul Young reviews From Paris with Love

After last year’s break out hit Taken, I was hoping director Pierre Morel would come out swinging once more with his next film From Paris with Love. After all, it’s based off a story that Luc Besson wrote and it stars heartthrob Jonathan Rhys Meyers (who was fantastic in The Tudors) and Hollywood action film staple John Travolta. Unfortunately, this film is full of more standard action movie clichés than I could count. I didn’t hate the film but I did find myself yawning and actually got up to use the facilities and ...

New ‘Wolfman’ & ‘Losers’ Images; ‘Paris With Love’ Clips

Kofi Outlaw — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 06:35:33 +0000

Yeah, I could probably stretch this stuff out into three different posts, forcing you good people to sift through a lot of my ramblings to see the pretty pictures and clips I have to offer – but we here at Screen Rant believe in a lifestyle of convenience.

To prove it, today we’ve pulled together promotional material from three of the biggest movies on the docket for Winter/Spring 2010 – The Wolfman, The Losers, and From Paris With Love – into one roundup of promotional material. As the title would suggest, we have a new pic of The Wolfman, a promo poster for The Losers, and a new set of clips from Paris.

First let’s get to The Wolfman: We have a new hi-res image from the movie courtesy of Bloody Disgusting and it is full-on Wolfman. The film stars ...

New Trailer & Images Sent ‘From Paris With Love’

Ross Miller — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 15:22:14 +0000

I’ve been keeping an eye on From Paris With Love for a few months now. The film was directed by Pierre Morel, who happened to helm a little film called Taken. The first teaser trailer for Paris appeared as far back as over a year ago, with the first poster appearing just last summer. The first trailer looked fun from what we could see, but it wasn’t all that well put together and didn’t exactly sell the film well.

The red-band trailer was a vast improvement though, as we got to see some of the real hardcore stuff the green-band trailers aren’t allowed to show you (unfortunately the red-band got pulled by the studio shortly after release).

But now we have a new trailer for From Paris With Love, which, apart from an annoying voice-over making it ...

We missed last week due to the launch of our sister site, GameRant.com and the fact that there was quite a few less one-sheets than normal so instead, I’ve combined them all from the last two weeks into this edition of Poster Friday.

‘From Paris with Love’ Red Band Trailer

Paul Young — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 17:16:08 +0000

John Travolta: the name used to be synonymous with dancing, bad accents, Scientology, and mediocre films. Then Pulp Fiction came out and reminded everyone in Hollywood that he’s actually a pretty good leading man. Often times he plays such an intriguing bad guy, that one can’t help but enjoy his performance, whether you want to or not. Arguably, he was the best part about Face/Off, Primary Colors, A Civil Action, The General’s Daughter, Swordfish and even the ridiculous Battlefield Earth.

After this summer’s mild hit The Taking of Pelham 123, Travolta will channel his best Denzel Washington from Training Day in Pierre Morel’s latest action flick From Paris with Love. Co-starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers (The Tudors, August Rush) as an embassy worker who gets paired up with Detective Wax (Travolta) in Paris, the two seem ...

Cool Poster & Trailer Sent ‘From Paris With Love’

Ross Miller — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 15:06:38 +0000

From Paris With Love is a new action movie produced and co-written by Luc Besson (The Fifth Element) and directed by Pierre Morel, the guy who gave us the Liam Neeson film Taken, and the French free-running flick, District 13. It stars John Travolta as a U.S. agent who is teamed up with a lower ranking younger agent (Jonathan Rhys Myers) to stop a terrorist attack in Paris.

There was already a short trailer released for From Paris With Love last year, but today we have the very cool first teaser poster for it. It seems like one of those ideas that someone should have thought of before (maybe they have, correct me if I’m wrong). Very simple and clean, I like it. Check it out:

1. Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman will star in and produce Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry.

“The book takes the form of a Sotheby’s-like estate auction catalog, with 325 entries and photographs depicting items that reveal the private moments and the rise and fall of a four-year relationship between the fictitious couple Hal Morris (a 40ish photographer) and Lenore Doolan (a New York Times food columnist in her late 20s).”

The film, which will be a romantic comedy is based on a novel by Leanne Shapton.

This week’s action-packed Movie News Wrap Up features news on:

Paul Greengrass’ Blackbeard; Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine join forces… maybe; Shane Black’s Cold Warrior; John Travolta and Jonathan Rhys Meyers send their love From Paris and Iron Man goodies are Stark raving mad!

I. Paul Greengrass (Bourne 2&3) is leading the short list to direct a film based on the life of legendary Pirate Blackbeard . The movie titled… erm… Blackbeard is a realistic take on the life of Edward Teach. The film is supposed to be hitting the R rated boundaries – so expect lots of frantic swash and buckle.

2. Would you like to see an action-adventure movie starring Scarlett Johansson, Matthew McConaughey and Michael Caine?

Me too – we might get to see it. The increasingly unreliable MTV talked to Caine who said:

“I’ll probably do a film with Scarlett Johansson. I forget what it’s ...
