Anna Kendrick Reviews, Interviews & More
You can start with the title jokes now ("Pitch-er Perfect?") because last fall's surprise hit Pitch Perfect is getting a sequel from Universal, with a proposed release date of 2015. This comes from today's CinemaCon presentation where Universal revealed that they brought back the original writer Kay Cannon.
Pitch Perfect is the perfect kind of movie for repeat comfort viewings. It's no masterpiece, but it definitely satisfies. First time screenwriter Kay Cannon (30 Rock, New Girl) based her story on a 2008 nonfiction book by Mickey Rapkin, about the world of competitive collegiate A...
Anna Kendrick and Brittany Snow star in Pitch Perfect, a comedy musical about a group of girls passionate about A Capella singing. Even though Kendrick is better known for her role as George Clooney's protégé in Up in the Air and Joseph Gordon-Levitt's sweet girlfriend in 50/50, she's no stranger...
Director and screenwriter David Ayer is doing what he does best -- cop drama. His latest film, End of Watch tackles the mean streets of L.A. through the eyes of two officers, played by Jake Gyllenhaal and Michael Pena.

Every year, we're flooded with a pocket of animated movies aimed towards the younger demographic. Luckily, creative companies like Laika, produce films that everybody can enjoy.

ParaNorman is the latest entry in the genre of macabre children's tales, and...
Here's the problem with this 50/50, the marketing sets it up for failure. They're so busy trying to get people into the theaters by making them think that it's a comedy, that they're setting up the wrong expectations and therefore forcing the film to be unable to achieve its goal -- telling a true to life story. There are some laughs, some love, some beautiful...
It doesn't matter how under the radar you are, if you have a celebrity by your side, you're bound to make some headlines.

Being a music video girl is a first for Kendrick...

Jason Reitman once again tackles comedy and drama with his latest film entitled, Up in the Air.
