RIPD

In the tradition of Men in Black and Ghostbusters, a new supernatural action-comedy is about to be added to that tradition. You may ask, what would the film title be? Well, here's the answer: RIPD or Rest in Peace Department, for short.

Based on a bestselling comic series from Dark Horse Publishing, this new fantasy laugh-fest tells the tale of everyday police officer Nick Walker (Ryan Reynolds) whom is killed in an ordinary police bust, only to be instantly transported to RIPD department, which would be, natch, up in the skies.

Now recruited by dry-humuored RIPD boss Proctor (the ever-sexy Mary Louise-Parker), Walker is tasked with one-executing ghoulish thugs that terrorize the living and most importantly, find and kill the guy who shot him. Fortunately, he's not the ONLY RIPD officer, as who better to have the top billing in this film but Jeff Bridges! Not to mention, he reprises his Rooster Cogburn version again, minus the eyepatch

Of course, since being a typical sci-fi film, it just wouldnt be complete without a little apocalyptic situation, as in when the entire legion of monsters start taking over the human world, it's up to Nick and Roy (Bridges) to start some literal EPIC ass-kicking moves... and not to mention mopping up the mess afterwards with using the goons' body parts as a mop. (Just kidding. It's PG-13) Also appearing is Kevin Bacon as possibly the man who's responsible for Nick's situation, Marisa Miller (Yep, the sexy blonde model) as get this, Roy's avatar!? Don't believe me? Take a gander:

Believe it or not, having Marisa Miller perform an 'undercover' version of Bridges is guaranteed for some rather loud laughs. RIPD bursts into your local theatre next Friday, July 19th. If you see it, be warned: You just might laugh yourself silly!

The Great Gatsby

For as long as the world can remember, F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic story The Great Gatsby has won over millions of readers and has been made into two successful films. But now, it's back and more stronger than ever, thanks to master storyteller Baz Luhrmann

Set in New York City in 1922, the story starts with a traveler named Nick Carraway (played by Spider-Man star Tobey Maguire) who is en route to visit old family pals, hot-headed, arrogant Tom Buchanan (played, respectively by Joel Edgerton) and his sultry, flirtatious wife Daisy (Carey Mulligan) who seems to have once been romantically intimate with Gatsby himself

And who better to play Gatsby than Hollywood megastar Leo DiCaprio, who had indeed worked with Luhrmann in Romeo + Juliet. 
In the plot, Daisy remains completely out of touch with remembering or seeing any of Gatsby, until when out of nowhere, the two star-gazed lovers finally come face to face

Unfortunately, bad boy Tom discovers Daisy's relationship with Gatsby, and our hero Nick isn't the only one with problems as he finds himself being haggled by a shrewd, manipulative housewife (played electrifyingly by Isla Fisher)

In such a story of love, compromise, deception, betrayal, sex, greed and that the past has a very beautiful but nevertheless unspeakable way of repeating itself. As Gatsby quoted from this film "Change the past?" Well? Does he think anyone can rewrite history? Can he ever rekindle his relationship with Daisy? And more importantly: Why does Nick think Gatsby maybe might have something *else* he'd like to keep secret. All these questions, and never-before-seen facts will soon be unveiled May 10, this Friday at your local theatre. If you're looking for a good flick on Mother's Day, then this is an invitation you simply cant refuse

Scary Movie 5

It's BAAACK!!! After a long, but brief hiatus, the famous Scary Movie saga returns for one more lampooning of horror films, and THIS time, they're taking aim at the Hunger Games, Planet of the Apes, Inception, Black Swan, and Paranormal Activity!

And this laugh-out-loud film just would NOT be complete without some of the biggest names in Hollywood: Ashley Tisdale, Katt Williams, Simon Rex, Heather Locklear, Kate Walsh, and whether we like it or loathe it, Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan (YES, you read that right) are in the spotlight!

However, unfortunately for the big hardcore fans of Scary Movie; the original casting, meaning Anna Faris, Regina King, and the late great Leslie Nielsen will NOT be appearing in the film, though they do send the NEW recruits their regards and hopefully, it should be an excellent comeback!

So, grab some popcorn and soda, sit back, and get scared silly as Scary Movie 5 once more brings the horrifying hijinks and ghoulish fun back to the silver screen April 5 (hey, that's this week!) WARNING: You may laugh yourself SILLY!!!

Olympus Has Fallen

In the honored tradition of action-packed films, like Die Hard and Rambo, comes the newest shoot-em up film from Antoine Fuqua called Olympus Has Fallen

Set in the present day, this thrilling epic features our main hero Mike Banning (played by who else than Gerard Butler from 300) as the President's head Secret Service officer.

(The President himself is played by Aaron Eckhart; aka Harvey Dent from the Dark Knight, the First Lady being Ashley Judd).

Banning was the top dog of the White House security, and all it took was one car accident gone horribly wrong thus resulting in the demise of the First Lady, and subsequently; Banning's expulsion from the Service

A few days later after the incident; things are back and running at Washington; only to have impending doom arrive in the form of commando terrorrists lead by a brutal warmonger (Rick Yune from Man with the Iron Fists) who holds the entire White House hostage for -what else?- money and power. If the government refuses...well, let's just say they'll need 2 new replacements for the President and First Lady. Not if our hero Banning has anything to say about it!

While Speaker Trumbull (Morgan Freeman, the Dark Knight trilogy) and Secret Service director Lynn Jacobs (Angela Bassett, Green Lantern) try to negotiate with the unruly White House gatecrashers, Banning decides to take matters into his own hands and bring the thugs down- by lethal methods, if the circumstances seem necessary.

Featuring Dylan McDermott, Melissa Leo (The Fighter) and Radha Mitchell (Surrogates) and some explosive special effects, Olympus Has Fallen is the MUST-SEE action flick for Spring Break! Olympus Has Fallen explodes into theatres nationwide March 22nd.

Jack the Giant Slayer

Who could ever forget that wonderful story about a boy, some magic beans, a humungous beanstalk and a powerful and dangerous giant? Well, after what seems like 70 years, the story continues, and thanks to Bryan Singer, the genius director of X-Men comes the new version of the classic tale fittingly called Jack the Giant Slayer

Set in the Middle Ages; the film features the main character called, of course, Jack (played by Nicholas Hoult, Warm Bodies), a young farmhand who is in love with a beautiful heiress (Eleanor Tomlinson) despite opposition from her curmudgeonly father and king (Ian McShane, Pirates of the Caribbean) who does NOT like her daughter mingling with a simple farmboy. One fateful day, when Jack discovers small beans and plants them...it inadvertantly unleashes a towering beanstalk (like in the story) that takes both Jack's house...and the princess and into the waiting hands of some very strong and very, VERY grouchy giants who plan to squish our heroes into the dust

Teaming with a valiant knight (Ewan McGregor, the Star Wars trilogy)and the king's finest soldiers, Jack ventures into the giants' domain to rescue the love of his life, and most importantly, try to stop a war between man and giant

Unfortunately, things dont look good when the king's greedy advisor Rochefort (Stanley Tucci, Captain America: The First Avenger) decides to lead the giants into battle and claim the throne for himself! As if that wasnt worse, it looks like the giants' commanding officer Fallon (Bill Nighy, Pirates of the Caribbean) and his extra-head companion (John Kassir, Tales from the Crypt)have a HUGE personal bone to pick with Jack, mistaking him for his father, who stole the golden goose and eggs. (Again, referring to the original story. Exciting, eh?) Now with the battle lines drawn and danger and impending disaster coming from all corners, it appears that Jack is the kingdom's only hope to save them from one GIANT problem (No pun intended)

Featuring dynamic special effects, eye-popping 3D animation and some GIANT thrills and surprises, Jack the Giant Slayer is one epic film that's guaranteed to be Fe-Fi-Fo FUN for the whole family!

Jack the Giant Slayer is now blooming at your local theatres. So bring your family along, hop on a beanstalk and sit back and relax for an adventure you'll NEVER forget.
