2010 MTV Movie Award Winners & New Movie Clips

Ross Miller — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 11:49:31 +0000

As always, this year’s MTV Movie Awards was two things: eye-rolling because of its results and entertaining in its own right.

We all know the awards themselves mean absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things (they might as well call it “The Twilight Awards”) but for the most part the show manages to be at least fun to watch (often that’s more than can be said for the Oscars).

In case you happened to miss the 2010 MTV Movie Awards don’t worry, as Screen Rant has you covered. We have here all the results from the awards, as well as four new clips for some pretty huge movies that are going to screens this year: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Last Airbender and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.

First here are ...

Scream Awards 2009: A Report From Front Row Center

Brian Kettler — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 02:42:51 +0000

This past Saturday, October 17th, I attended my second year of Spike TV’s annual Scream Awards. Not only did I attend, but I had been hand-picked by the casting director to sit front row center for the show! As a fan-focused awards show, it’s much more enjoyable being seated amongst JJ Abrams, Karl Urban, Elijah Wood and Woody Harrelson. My favorite personal surprise of the evening came when the Best Science Fiction Actress nominees were being announced. I cheered (maybe a little too loudly for my girlfriend’s tastes) for Eliza Dushku when her name was announced, only to discover she was sitting right in front of me. She turned around and flashed me her lovely smile. Good thing my girlfriend isn’t the overly-jealous type.

As for the show itself, it seems as though the winners have already been ...

Critics Split By Gender On Jennifer’s Body

Vic Holtreman — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:00:16 +0000

So the Megan “hot Transformers chick” Fox-starring, Diablo “I wrote Juno” Cody-written movie Jennifer’s Body opened this weekend to rather weak box office (the estimate at the moment is less than $7 million). As I write this article the film is scoring 41% positive rating on the Tomatometer over at RottenTomatoes.com with 99 reviews so far. While that is certainly not a good score, it’s far from that of some recent stinkers (Final Destination: 27%, All About Steve: 6%, Sorority Row: 26%).

What prompted this article however was what I was seeing on Twitter as far as comments about the film… women seemed to be praising it while guys (myself included) were slamming it. So I decided to do an informal (and very crude) statistical analysis – overall what did male movie ...

Jennifer’s Body Review

Vic Holtreman — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 05:24:58 +0000

Short Version: Overall Jennifer’s Body is just a boring movie – punctuated by occasional humor and fewer scares.

Screen Rant reviews Jennifer’s Body

Let’s just get this right out of the way: Megan Fox does not appear naked in Jennifer’s Body.

So if that’s the main reason you want to go see this film, you’re out of luck. If the other reason you want to see the film is for the girl/girl makeout scene – there is a very brief scene of a kiss between Megan and Amanda Seyfried, and it’s shot in such an extreme close-up that for all I know they might have had “stunt doubles” do it.

Now that we have that out of the way, on to the review.

The menu is varied, wide open and we hope – satisfying. While we couldn’t list them all, please join us as we quickly chronicle what lies ahead in Screen Rant’s 2009 Fall Movie Preview!

Bloody Good Red Band Trailer for ‘Jennifer’s Body’

Ross Miller — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 18:50:47 +0000

From the mind of Diablo Cody (who wrote the indie-success Juno) comes the teen-horror film Jennifer’s Body, starring Transformers hottie Megan Fox. The film sees Fox swap running from giant robots to preying on horny high school boys as a demon-possessed cheerleader. It sounds like a neat horror premise that promises to have a good mix of horror, raunchiness and dark/tongue-in-cheek comedy.

Today we get the first ever trailer for the film – a red-band, NSFW trailer that makes it clear what kind of film Jennifer’s Body is turning out to be.

Before the inevitable “safe” trailer for Jennifer’s Body hits the web and movie theaters, the film’s writer (Cody), director (Karyn Kusama) and producer (Jason Reitman, director of Juno) sent Shock Till You Drop the exclusive red band trailer to show off the TRUE nature of ...

Megan Fox and Amanda Seyfried in ‘Jennifer’s Body’

Rob Frappier — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 14:31:13 +0000

Since earning near unanimous praise for her quirky teen pregnancy tale, Juno, screenwriter Diablo Cody has been a hot commodity in Hollywood. So naturally, when Cody teamed with Megan Fox (who is coming hot off the heels of the immensely successful but critically panned Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen) for the teen-horror comedy Jennifer’s Body, people were quick to pay attention.

The film, which revolves around high school cheerleader Jennifer (Fox) becoming possessed by a demon and devouring the men at her school, sounds like the perfect mix of dark comedy, raunchiness, and gore. Now, thanks to the guys at Film School Rejects, we get a better look at Fox (as well as co-star Amanda Seyfried from Mean Girls and Mamma Mia) in all their gory glory.

Let us know what you think of the images in ...

Mid-Week Movie News Wrap Up – April 9, 2009

Niall Browne — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:30:50 +0000

This week:

Russell knows Aaron and Sarah; Freddy Krueger claims his first victim; more superheroes in The Umbrella Academy;; Warners dust off an old Goonies 2 script for Treehouse Gang and ever wondered what a movie starring Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, David Spade, Salma Hayek and Maria Bello would be like?

1. The Hollywood outsider who always manages to get in David O. Russell – is readying a new romantic comedy entitled Aaron and Sarah.The plot of the John Hughesesque comedy is as follows:

“Story centers on a nerdy guy and a popular girl who meet as freshmen and, over four years of high school, four proms and one funeral, become friends and eventually fall in love.”

It sounds like typical Hollywood fare, but I think that there just might be a little bit of bite to it – after all this is from the man who directed Three ...

Megan Fox Plays Passion For Mickey Rourke

Niall Browne — Thu, 02 Apr 2009 20:26:16 +0000

With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen getting ready for release, the Diablo Cody penned Jennifer’s Body already in the can and Jonah Hex and Fathom on the way, it looks like Megan Fox is getting ready to take over cinema screens across the globe.

The actress has now signed on to star opposite Mickey Rourke in Passion Plays, a 1940′s set dramatic thriller. The Transformers star’s character is described as “a slender beauty with wings who is part of a carnival.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

“Rourke will play a down-on-his-heels trumpet player, and Fox will play an angel in 1950s Los Angeles, with Rourke finding redemption in Fox after he attempts to save her from a gangster. Those familiar with the project describe it as a dramatic but heartwarming tale.”

Heartwarming and redemption? Period setting? Does anybody else think that this will get ...
