Is Spielberg right in saying big budget films are ruining the industry?

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who knows more about the business of making films than Steven Spielberg, so when he speaks, we all better listen. The iconic director is worried about the current state of the film industry, saying big changes are in store. Talking at USC, Spielberg says an inevitable "implosion" is coming.

Spielberg told students and faculty that when a few $250 million budget films flop, the studios are going to take it out on the consumer. "You're gonna have to pay $25 for the next Iron Man." Spielberg also says it's harder and harder to get smart films like Lincoln into the theaters. "I think eventually the Lincolns will go away and they're going to be on television," George Lucas said. "As mine almost was," Spielberg interjected. "This close -- ask HBO -- this close."

Considering our last post about $50 mega tickets, it's tough to argue with Spielberg.

Selena Gomez Ready For A Topless Scene?!

June 15, 2013 | 10:00 AM PDT

Filed under: Selena Gomez, Movies, Rumorville, Disney

Would a topless scene make Selena Gomez a more respected actress?
Much to the liking of young boys and creepy old dudes worldwide, rumor has it 20-year-old but 16-year-old looking Selena Gomez is ready to drop her shirt on film… if the right role would present itself. According to sources talking with Hollywood Life, Selena wants to go in a more adult direction in order to shed her Disney image.

Selena's latest role was in the racy film Spring Breakers, but even in it she played the good girl. What do you think? Should Selena go this route? My vote: NO.

"Dumb And Dumber" Sequel Dropped

June 12, 2013 | 02:06 PM PDT

Filed under: Jim Carrey, Movies, New Movies

Do you want to see a "Dumb and Dumber" sequel with the original cast?
WHAT?! After hearing that both Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels were on-board to reprise their roles as Lloyd and Harry, I thought for sure a Dumb and Dumber sequel would be an easy greenlight for a studio. But apparently that's why I'm not a movie studio executive. (Dumb & Dumberer doesn't count as a sequel)

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. has dropped the followup to the 1994 hit film after Steve Carell's The Incredible Burt Wonderstone failed to recoup its budget.

Directors / writers Bobby and Peter Farrelly will now take the movie to other studios to seek financing. If not there, I'm sure it would raises millions on Kickstarter!

Is part of our obsession with Johnny Depp due to his weird personality?
It's hard to believe that teen idol turned screen legend Johnny Depp has passed the big 5-0! Depp celebrated his 50th birthday this past Sunday, and by reading the headlines it seems like no one can really believe it. That's probably because part of Depp's charm is his childlike qualities that he incorporates so well on film.

From Edward Scissorhands and Donnie Brasco to Finding Neverland and Pirates of the Caribbean, Depp has given us hours and hours of wonderful entertainment. He's been nominated for three Oscars, but has still yet to win one. That needs to change.

Happy Birthday JD!

Do several poor reviews prevent you from seeing a movie in the theater?
Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson's The Internship hits theaters today, but if you're thinking it's an updated Wedding Crashers, be warned! Critics are doing what they do best: harshly critiquing the film in every which way possible. Set in 2005, the film is the story of two men who take an internship at Google after being fired from their jobs for lying.

Joe Neumaier of the NY Daily News asks, "Who let an unfunny, irritatingly acted two-hour commercial for Google onto multiplex screens?" Writing in The Huffington Post Carole Mallory says, "The Internship reteaming Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn ain't no Wedding Crashers. The problem isn't their acting. It's Vince Vaughn's and Jared Stern's predictable writing. Clichés abound." On Rotten Tomatoes, the film currently has a 32% fresh rating.

Regardless of the reviews, will you still see The Internship in the theater?

Morgan Freeman Struggles To Stay Awake!

Filed under: Morgan Freeman, Movies, New Movies


Talking about his new film Now You See Me along with Michael Caine, 75-year-young Morgan Freeman struggled to stay awake through the conversation. Appearing on a local Fox station, 80-year-young Caine went on and on about the crime thriller while Freeman dosed in and out. However, Morgan somehow managed to recover just in time to answer one final question.

Hilarious! I love how older people can just do whatever they want.

Brad Pitt might be taking cheap shots at her, but there's no denying that Jennifer Aniston has the upper hand body! Showing off her toned physique in a new trailer for We're the Millers, Aniston clearly hasn't missed any pilates sessions recently. Jen plays a stripper who joins forces with a drug smuggler (Played by Jason Sudeikis) to transport marijuana across the Mexican border as they pose as a typical American family.

The comedy hits theaters this August. In the meantime, we can keep watching this trailer over and over gushing at Jen's body.

And she's 44!!

Will poor reviews from critics hurt "The Hangover III's" box office?
The third installment of The Hangover trilogy is now in theaters, but reviews from the critics aren't so good. Compiling some snidbits from around the country, E! News says the critics are "drunk with scorn." The NY Times calls it a "dull, lazy walkthrough" that has "a claim to be the year's worst star-driven movie." OUCH.

Time Out New York says of the flick, "Humor feels like an afterthought: Galifianakis' clueless manchild act, always a winner, feels pitifully DOA, while Cooper and Helms, having realized they could play their respective douche-dude and nebbish roles in their sleep, proceed to do just that."

With all the poor press, will you still be handing over $8-12 to see The Hangover III?

Is Christian Bale one of the top five actor's in Hollywood today?

Christian Bale is one of the best actors in the biz, and he routinely dedicates his body to his art. Bale's body has undergone some serious transformations over the years. He launched his career with a toned body in American Psycho, then went frail thin for The Machinist. He returned to the buff and ripped look for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, only to drop all the muscle for The Fighter… now Christian is showing some extra pounds while filming the new historical thriller American Hustle.

American Hustle is about an FBI sting operation on an United States Congressman (No other details have been revealed). Directed by David O. Russell, the film also stars big names such as Robert De Niro, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, and Amy Adams.
