For the past few years, every time I’ve gone to see a kids movie in the theater, I always take a moment to feel sorry for the parents in the theater. These days, taking a family of 4 to the theater can cost anywhere between $50 and $75 (Closer to $100, if you’re seeing something in IMAX or 3-D)! But then, to add insult to injury, more often than not they’ve got to sit through dreck like Alvin and the Chipmunks, or Marmaduke. Thankfully, there are a handful of movies out that are not only geared towards the satisfaction of children, but the whole family, and Mr. Popper’s Penguins, starring Jim Carrey is one of them. Check out the rest of the review after the jump…

As kids, we all had fantasies of finding the right technology or chemical formula that would give us the same strength and power of our favorite comic book heroes. What if I told you it was out there? The folks over at Raytheon have made that dream come true for those who are fans of Marvel’s Iron Man. The hero is known for his tough body armor which multiplies his strength and allows him to take on high levels on impact. Co-star Clark Gregg recently visited the company to see what all the fuss is about and we’ve got the video below…

It’s time! Iron Man 2 is about to hit theaters! Jon Favreau and Robert Downey Jr. are back with another installment in their witty, yet action packed franchise. There has been so much anticipation for this film since its trailer debuted (which we sweded) last summer at Comic-Con. The sequel is a solid follow up that comes through with everything you would anticipate from Iron Man, but don’t expect to walk out of the theater with the same “wow” feeling you had after the first film. This is a whole different beast…

Choke is a great film to take a date to if you want how comfortable they are with sex. Depending on their reaction you may or may not want to leave the anal beads out of the action.
What can I say, this film is a fun, dirty romp with a bunch of crazy people that has you smiling (and wincing) all the way. It stays true to the book, while simultaneously standing on it’s own. If you haven’t read Chuck Palahniuk‘s book “Choke,” it won’t make a lick of difference and if you have read the book, he’s added plenty of little details for you to spot. If you haven’t read “Choke” at some point, before or after the film, you really should take the time. There are only so many things Director Clark Gregg could put up on the screen and not have it slip into NC-17 territory, which it gets pretty close to at times.
This was the first time Clark Gregg has directed a film and it’s a well thought out, cohesive, amazing film. He also wrote the film and was able to turn Chuck’s book into a successful script. Chuck Palahniuk even said in a recent BeatCrave interview that “this one was even more verbatim [than Fight Club].” In fact Chuck even went so far to say that he liked the additions that Clark made to the script, “There’s a sort of a third dynamic there that I didn’t do in the book, which is developing a relationship between Ida and Paige Marshall, which I thought Clark had done really, really well in the movie.” (For the full interview with Clark Gregg and Chuck Palahniuk click here).

On September 26th, audiences will be shocked, entertained, grossed out, and possibly even turned on (you sicko) with the release of the new film CHOKE, from the twisted minds of first time Director and Writer, Clark Gregg and Novelist, Chuck Palahniuk. ScreenCrave was lucky enough to sit down with Clark and Chuck and have a little heart to hard with them about adapting this sexually explicit novel about a sex addict, choker, with a delusional mother to the screen. (Check out Sam Rockwell and Brad William Henke’s interview here.)
The topics may have been dirty, you couldn’t have asked for two more pleasant, well spoken men to discuss the film with. Although the two men appeared to have just met one another for the first time, they seemed to have an extremely similar view on the film, the characters, and the overall tone of CHOKE. Chuck even went so far as to say that this was a closer film adaptation than Fight Club and one he enjoyed.
The first thing out of Clark’s mouth as he sat down to the table was “Good morning. Let’s talk about dirty stuff!” So lets!
