			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mr-Poppers-Penguins.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-150837" title="Mr Popper's Penguins" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Mr-Poppers-Penguins.jpg" alt="Mr Poppers Penguins Mr. Poppers Penguins: Movie Review" width="570" height="406" /></a></p>
<p>For the past few years, every time I&#8217;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&#8217;re seeing something in IMAX or 3-D)!  But then, to add insult to injury, more often than not they&#8217;ve got to sit through dreck like <em>Alvin and the Chipmunks</em>, or <em>Marmaduke</em>.  Thankfully, there are a handful of movies out that are not only geared towards the satisfaction of children, but the whole family, and <em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins,</em> starring Jim Carrey is one of them.  Check out the rest of the review after the jump&#8230;</p>
<h2><span id="more-150836"></span>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director &#8211; </strong>Mark Waters</li>
<li><strong>Writers &#8211; </strong>Sean Anders, John Morris, Jared Stern</li>
<li><strong>Starring &#8211; </strong>Jim Carrey, Carla Gugino, Ophelia Lovibond, Clark Gregg, Angela Lansbury, David Krumholtz, Jeffrey Tambor</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Story:</h2>
<p>Tom Popper (Jim Carrey) is a real estate developer whose career is more successful than his family life.  He is struggling to balance his goals of becoming a partner at his prestigious firm against staying relevant to his young son and preteen daughter.  But when his world-explorer, absentee father dies, Popper inherits not one, but six live penguins that he must now care for.  Though the birds initially turn his routine and tidy life upside down, they also provide him with a new opportunity to connect with his kids and ex-wife (Gugino).  In order to take advantage of this second chance, Popper must keep the penguins in his penthouse apartment, hidden from his nosy neighbor (Krumholtz) and out of the hands of a zoo keeper with ulterior motives (Gregg).  As the animals bring his family closer together, Popper is able to become the emotionally available father to his family that he never had himself.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Family Comedy vs. Children&#8217;s Comedy</strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s a daunting task to write a film that&#8217;s able to connect with both children and adults.  It certainly doesn&#8217;t help that each year Pixar continues to set the bar so high, with the kind of universal storytelling that resonates with literally everyone.  Most family movies write off the adults in the audience, and appeal solely to children with base humor and plot lines written in crayon.  That said, <em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins</em> does a fine job of riding the line between the two styles.  The film is very character driven, and doesn&#8217;t rely on the kind of stylized humor that continues to drive, say, the <em>Shrek</em> series into the ground.</li>
<li><strong>Jim Carrey</strong> &#8211; Carrey&#8217;s performance is charming enough to keep adults engaged with his character, and though his trademark cartoonish energy is present, it isn&#8217;t a distraction from the story at hand.  The humor surrounding the penguins is mostly geared towards children (one of the penguins&#8217; distinguishing characteristics is that he keeps bumping into walls, while another one farts incessantly), however, they&#8217;re such naturally amusing creatures that whether or not they&#8217;re real or seamlessly animated, one can&#8217;t help but enjoy their presence.</li>
<li><strong>Supporting Cast &#8211; </strong>First of all, there&#8217;s Ophelia Lovibond, who plays Popper&#8217;s alliterating assistant, Pippi.  This girl is absolutely adorable, and her energy and appeal carry every scene she&#8217;s in. Here&#8217;s hoping this ingenue never longs for work, because I just want to see more of her smiling on screen.  But more importantly, <em>Popper&#8217;s</em> cast is bolstered with some great and timeless character actors who really understand their function in a film, and play not to their own strengths, but to the story&#8217;s.  Angela Lansbury, with her matronly voice and manner, is a welcome presence in any family movie, and it&#8217;s nice to see her introduced to yet another generation of children.  Clark Gregg&#8217;s performance is only a teensy bit more overstated than usual, but hey, he&#8217;s the bad guy in a kid&#8217;s film.  It&#8217;s still a pleasure to see his polite sincerity in any film. Jeffrey Tambor and David Krumholtz fill in a few scenes.  Philip Baker Hall also has a small role as Popper&#8217;s boss, and although he is probably the most under-utilized actor in the film, he&#8217;s one of those performers whose face you just like look at on camera.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>What book? &#8211; </strong>Based on the beloved 1938 children&#8217;s book by Richard and Florence Atwater, <em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins</em> has very little in common with its source material.  Now, it&#8217;s quite understandable that this story would need to be updated for modern times and audiences, especially since one of the key elements of the book is that many people don&#8217;t even know what penguins are.  However there&#8217;s a simplicity to its antiquated setting that has been a substantial part of its charm for some time now.  The plot is different as well, choosing to bring the penguins closer to the family, rather than exposing them to the world.  And part of the magic of the book is the fantastic notion of a troupe of traveling performing penguins.  But most distinctly, all of the themes have changed as well.  Rather than being a story about a man who realizes the dreams he has shelved for the sake of his family, this is a film about a man who puts puts his personal goals aside to be closer to them.  It&#8217;s not an offensive departure, it&#8217;s just that if you&#8217;re looking for a nostalgic connection to your third grade summer reading list, this isn&#8217;t it.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>Although <em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins </em>may not provide the emotional catharsis of a Pixar film, its strong cast does a very good job of keeping it an emotionally grounded film, and strengthening its ability to connect with audiences of all ages in broad, and meaningful ways.</p>
<h2>Rating: 7/10</h2>
<p><em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins</em> in theaters June 17th!</p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mark-waters/">Mark Water</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mr-poppers-penguins/"><em><strong>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins</strong></em></a> <strong>trailer</strong> sets a tone, and that tone is of a family comedy from the mid 90&#8242;s. Even though the film opens on June 17 of this year, you&#8217;ve got <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/jim-carrey/">Jim Carrey</a> acting alongside CGI and real penguins and the trailer ends in a dance number set to Vanilla Ice&#8217;s &#8220;Ice Ice Baby.&#8221; It&#8217;s a movie that could have just as comfortably starred <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/robin-williams/">Robin Williams</a> or <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/carla-gugino/">Eddie Murphy</a> back in the day, or even Carrey himself. And yet&#8230; here were are. Take a look.</p>
<p><span id="more-140651"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" title="Mr. Poppers Penguins Trailer Comes From Time Warp" alt="default video player Mr. Poppers Penguins Trailer Comes From Time Warp" /></p>
<p>The film also co-stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/carla-gugino/">Carla Gugino</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/angela-lansbury/">Angela Lansbury</a>, but this is a teaser that sells the high concept that Jim Carrey is acting with penguins. The movie is based on a children&#8217;s book, and as such they&#8217;ve likely just taken the concept and little else to stretch it into feature length.</p>
<p>Though Jim Carrey has done children&#8217;s films before (like <em><strong>The Grinch</strong></em>), the &#8220;acting against animals&#8221; is a long standing and terrible genre of films that has fallen upon most of the great comic actors. Mostly it&#8217;s a bad genre because it revolves around mugging and humorous encounters with animal feces. They also usually involves a father or would-be father who learns to be a better one by growing to love and take care of the animal or animals that have been foisted upon him. The genre practically writes itself.</p>
<p>Still, they can make money. And Jim Carrey has not a hit in a while. Perhaps the people who grew up on <em><strong>Ace Ventura</strong></em> will take their kids to this.</p>
<p><strong>Can you think of a good &#8220;Comedian playing against Animals&#8221; movie?</strong></p>

<p>This week director Zack Snyder&#8217;s bad-ass, chick-action-flick, <strong><em>Sucker Punch</em></strong> hits theaters with a bang. Snyder described the film as &#8220;Alice In Wonderland with machine guns” and there definitely is an aspect of that to the film. This is a dark, imaginative film that journey&#8217;s into the mind a young girl who needs to escape &#8212; but unlike Alice, Babyboll has a lot bigger threats than just growing up, she has to escape a mental institution before it&#8217;s too late. Sadly the film itself doesn&#8217;t follow through in terms of story, but it does manage some pretty impressive ideas. Check out our review below&#8230;<span id="more-140537"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/zack-snyder/">Zack Snyder</a></li>
<li><strong>Writers</strong>: Zack Snyder	(story and screenplay) and Steve Shibuya (screenplay)</li>
<li><strong>Actors</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/emily-browning/">Emily Browning</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/abbie-cornish/">Abbie Cornish</a>, Jena Malone, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/vanessa-hudgens/">Vanessa Hudgens</a>,<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/jamie-chung/"> Jamie Chung</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/carla-gugino/">Carla Gugino</a>, Oscar Isaac,<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/jon-hamm/"> Jon Hamm</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/scott-glenn/">Scott Glenn</a></li>
<li><strong>Original Music by</strong>: Tyler Bates and Marius De Vries</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography by</strong>: Larry Fong</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p>A young girl gets caught accidentally commiting some crimes and is institutionalized by her wicked stepfather. In order to escape her fate, she retreats into her imagination and envisions a plan  which will help her and her new found companions escape.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Look</strong>: From the flawless skin on all the girls, to the costumes, to the sets and the special effects; this film has a very distinctive look and it&#8217;s impressive. One has come to expect this from Snyder and he doesn&#8217;t disappoint on visual &#8212; though some may not like his videogame-esq special effects, there&#8217;s plenty to feast your eyes on.</li>
<li><strong>All Out</strong>: I always prefer a film that takes risks and this film does. It&#8217;s great to see a director take an original idea and follow it through 100%. There&#8217;s no doubt that Snyder did that here. There is an attempt at a lot of interesting concepts in this film and there are some beautiful moments that really show you how talented Snyder is. Sadly, the whole film doesn&#8217;t hold up and that&#8217;s mainly do to the story BUT it&#8217;s hard not to appreciate and respect the effort.</li>
<li><strong>The Opening</strong>: When the film hit the screen it immediately sent a wave over the audience and I couldn&#8217;t help but think &#8220;this is going to be awesome!&#8221; The start of this film, the idea, the premise, how it sets himself up is beautiful, dark, interesting &#8212; this is one of the best starts to a film. Sadly, before we can even finish the first act, things begin to fade.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Story</strong>: Snyder takes a lot of risks in this film and unfortunately they don&#8217;t always add up or mean anything. You&#8217;re given this great premise and a lot of metaphorical ideas that at first seem really fascinating; but then you realize that they&#8217;re not all adding up, that things aren&#8217;t really making sense, then slowly the story starts to fall apart and you&#8217;re felt with some pretty images, and that&#8217;s about all.</li>
<li><strong>The Repetitiveness</strong>: The film begins with one awesome trick and then repeats it 5 BIG times. Now this isn&#8217;t always a problem, films can repeat themselves if they&#8217;re clever about it. Sadly, unlike it&#8217;s competitor <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/source-code/"><em>Source Code</em></a>, which actually repeats itself eight times, this film doesn&#8217;t find the differences that keep you engaged while watching the same thing over and over. You need variation, in the characters, their motivation, and in tone in order to keep the story moving and give us something new to watch. The characters never really changed, only the settings. As a result it kept using  the same gag just with a slightly different enemy to fight each time. It felt like five of the same short films playing back to back &#8212; mix it up!</li>
<li><strong>Unbelievable Responses</strong>: The characters don&#8217;t respond like they&#8217;re human. Even under the most insane circumstances if there is not something relatable or tangible for us to hold onto, it&#8217;s hard to stay invested in the character story. The actors did their best to justify it, but even the greatest actors can&#8217;t solve plot holes that big. (Also unbelievable were the eye-lashes &#8212; I get the long lashes and excessive make-up in the brothel, but why everywhere else? This is like America&#8217;s Next Top Insane Asylum)</li>
<li><strong>Casting Hamm</strong>: Though one can not get enough Hamm, he was probably the worst person in the world to cast as an evil villain that girls don&#8217;t want to have sex with. SPOILER When it&#8217;s revealed that he&#8217;s the &#8220;High Roller,&#8221; the one coming to take the young Babydoll&#8217;s virginity, one can&#8217;t help but think that women all over the country would line up for that spot. Now maybe if he was more evil or allowed to really play the villain it would work, but we barely see him in the start and in the end, he&#8217;s really not all that bad. If all we get is a sexy Jon Hamm, it&#8217;s hard to see what problem is, and if there is not problem, there&#8217;s no film.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>I can&#8217;t tell anyone not to go to this, because there are some really great aspects to this and it&#8217;s hard not to appreciate such a unique and interesting idea. That being said, it was not as enjoyable as it sound be and it definitely is no &#8220;Alice in Wonderland&#8221; story. The visuals were good, but not Snyder&#8217;s best. It&#8217;s a fun idea that&#8217;s never fully accomplished on screen.</p>

<p>Do you remember <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Sebastian-Gutierrez">Sebastian Gutierrez’s</a> 2009 film <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/Women-in-Trouble"><strong><em>Women in Trouble</em></strong></a>? If not, don&#8217;t feel bad because a lot of people don&#8217;t. The film had a limited release but a huge cast, which was led by <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Carla-Gugino">Carla Gugino</a>. She played a legendary porn star named <em><strong>Elektra Luxx</strong></em>, and now almost two years later, she&#8217;s back in her own self-titled sequel. Check out the official trailer for the film that&#8217;s just been released&#8230;</p>

<p>The film features several returning actors from the original, as well as a few new faces including our personal favorite <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Timothy-Olyphant">Timothy Olyphant.</a> That man can do no wrong in our eyes! We also love how they&#8217;ve expanded <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Joseph-Gordon-Levitt">Joseph Gordon-Levitt&#8217;s </a>part. In the first movie he had more of a cameo than a full supporting role.</p>
<p>Synopsis:</p>
<blockquote><p>Recently retired from the adult film industry, superstar  Elektra Luxx (Carla Gugino) is pregnant with the child of late rock star  Nick Chapel. She is trying to make ends meet by teaching a community college sex education class aimed at housewives when a figure from her past,  flight attendant Cora (<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Marley-Shelton">Marley Shelton</a>), approaches her with a  proposition. In exchange for the (stolen) lyrics to Nick Chapel’s last  record, all of which is about Elektra, Cora needs Elektra to seduce her  fiancee. Elektra reluctantly agrees to do this favor, setting in motion a  series of hilarious events which will see her come face to face with  detectives, sex bloggers, emotionally unstable neighbors and the Virgin  Mary herself as she wrestles with the prospect of motherhood and tries  to become a person of substance.</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Elektra Luxx</em> is due out in theaters on March 11.</p>

<p>If you&#8217;re lucky enough to live in LA or NY you&#8217;ll be able to catch <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/carla-gugino">Carla Gugino</a> in her latest role in writer/director Richard Levine&#8217;s film <strong><em>Every Day</em></strong>. She co-stars as the sexy temptress that woes Live Schreiber&#8217;s character with her free spirit and sexy writing styles &#8212; if only every writer had hot care-taker to see them through a project the writing world would be a much happier place. If you&#8217;re not lucky enough to see it on the big screen, have no fear! The film is also being released onto VOD (Video on Demand) at the exact same time! Isn&#8217;t it great to see independent film being given new wings?</p>
<p>We had a chance to sit down with the lovely and talented Gugino to talk to her a little bit more about making this film, working with Levine and Schreiber, and of course, why Independent film is soaring right now. Check it out&#8230;</p>

<p>The film also stars Liev Schreiber and Helen Hunt with Eddie Izzard and Brian Dennehy.</p>
<p>SYNOPSIS:</p>
<p>From the outside, it looks like Ned (LIEV SCHREIBER) has a perfect life – a lovely wife, Jeannie (HELEN HUNT), two healthy sons, a high-paying job as a television writer and a beautiful home. But cracks are starting to show around the edges. Ned’s oldest son, Jonah, (EZRA MILLER) is 15, and wants a lot more independence than Ned is comfortable with. Jeannie’s grumpy father, Ernie, (BRIAN DENNEHY) has come to live with them, and Jeannie is quickly becoming overwhelmed by her father’s constant demands and negative outlook. Ned’s boss, Garrett, (EDDIE IZZARD) isn’t liking any of Ned’s writing, contributing to Ned’s crisis of confidence and general discontent with the circumstances of his life.</p>
<p>So when Garrett suggests that Ned work with his sexy colleague Robin (CARLA GUGINO) to improve his script ideas, Ned jumps at the chance to get out of the house and away from his routine. Beautiful and fun-loving, Robin lives life to the fullest, with champagne and moonlight swims in her private indoor pool. Robin quickly lets Ned know she’s interested in more than just working with him, and, Ned intoxicated by her charm and the freedom of her lifestyle, knows he is treading on dangerous territory.</p>

<p>Are you in the mood for a film about average folks, with average problems that are amplified on the big screen? If your answer is yes, then you&#8217;ll probably be in the mood for<a href="http://screencrave.com/project/Every-Day"><strong><em> Every Day</em></strong></a>. It&#8217;s a dramedy from writer-director<strong> Richard Levine</strong> that centers on the ups and downs of an every day family. These people could be your neighbors, your friends, they could even be you!</p>
<p>Check out the review&#8230;</p>

<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: Richard Levine</li>
<li><strong>Screenwriter</strong>: Richard Levine</li>
<li><strong>Cast</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Carla-Gugino">Carla Gugino</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Liev-Schreiber">Liev Schreiber</a>, Helen Hunt, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Brian-Dennehy">Brian Dennehy</a>, Eddie Izzard</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography By:</strong> Nancy Schreiber</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Relatable Characters/Themes:</strong> These characters represent the &#8220;everyday&#8221; people &#8211; the people we know.  There&#8217;s nothing remotely heightened or embellished about who they are as individuals or the conflicts they face. This movie has you nodding your  head not because you agree with what&#8217;s on screen but because you  genuinely feel for it.</li>
<li><strong>Performances</strong>: Across the board they&#8217;re very honest, subtle performances by everyone &#8211; even the kids, which is rare.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Good/Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;<strong>Every Day</strong>:&#8221; It&#8217;s a perfect title for this film because it very much highlights  an &#8220;every day&#8221; lifestyle among &#8220;every day&#8221; people. There is a &#8220;peak&#8221; in  the story, but it doesn&#8217;t feel like your average climax. The movie  feels more like a series of events stocked with your typical ups and  downs. I appreciate this kind of story telling because it&#8217;s risky- why?  Because making a movie without the exciting characters and dramatics  reduces its commercial appeal. But, clearly this director was more  committed to making something real that audiences could relate to.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li> <strong>Not Memorable:</strong> I&#8217;d like to think that normal characters and a normal story can still  make for a memorable film. Unfortunately, <em>Every Day </em>just feels average.  There is nothing particularly gripping about the story and more  importantly, it doesn&#8217;t leave the audience with anything they&#8217;ll think  about after leaving the theater.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p><em>Every Day</em> isn&#8217;t horrendous but it&#8217;s definitely not worth your money. Check out something else this weekend.</p>
<h2>Rating: 5/10</h2>
<p><em>Every Day</em> opens in theaters January 14, 2011.</p>

<p>Move over <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/tooth-fairy/"><em><strong>Tooth Fairy</strong></em></a> and <em><strong>The Game Plan</strong></em>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Dwayne-Johnson">Dwayne Johnson</a> is ready to step back into the hardcore action genre. This week the actor appears in the <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/George-Tillman-Jr">George Tillman Jr</a>. film <strong><em>Faster</em></strong>. He channels his inner Steve McQueen and plays a man on a deadly mission for revenge. Nothing and no one will get between him and his targets. It&#8217;s just him, an old school car, a revolver, and the unlucky suckers who have targets on their backs.</p>
<p>Check out our review of <em>Faster</em>&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-121233"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: George Tillman Jr.</li>
<li><strong>Screenwriters</strong>: Tony Gayton, Joe Gayton</li>
<li><strong>Cast</strong>: Dwayne Johnson, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Billy-Bob-Thornton">Billy Bob Thornton</a>, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Carla-Gugino">Carla Gugino</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Maggie-Grace">Maggie Grace</a>, Xander Berkeley, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Moon Bloodgood, Aedin Mincks, Jennifer Carpenter</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography By</strong>: Michael Grady</li>
<li><strong>Original Music By: </strong> Clint Mansell</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p><em>Faster</em> is a vigilante action flick that centers on 3 characters: Driver  (Johnson), Killer (Jackson-Cohen) and Cop (Thornton). After serving 10 years in prison (for robbery), Driver is  released and goes on a killing spree to avenge the death of his brother  who was murdered after a heist gone wrong. Killer is the assassin sent  after Driver to stop his murderous rampage, and Cop is trying to bring  them both (Killer and Driver) to justice.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Action: </strong>Just as you might suspect, <em>Faster</em> is a gritty tale that features one man, one gun, and a whole lot of dead bodies. The reason the action in the film is so great is because it&#8217;s REAL. There&#8217;s no CGI so every stunt, explosion, and car chase is legit. It&#8217;s a refreshing change of pace in a world where green screen effects dominate the medium.</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography</strong>: <em>Faster</em> has a vintage look. There&#8217;s a graininess to the picture that adds an old school 70s feel to the movie, which makes it stand out.</li>
<li><strong>The Plot: </strong>The set up for <em>Faster</em> mimics <strong><em>The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly</em></strong>. It centers on three basic characters (with no real names or identities) who each have an objective that eventually intersects at the end of the film. It&#8217;s very straight to the point but just when you think you&#8217;ve got the story figured out you&#8217;re blindsided by an amazing twist! I won&#8217;t spoil it for you but it&#8217;s pretty cool.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Dialogue:</strong> Since the movie relies heavily on action, don&#8217;t expect the dialogue to be akin to Shakespeare. One of the worst lines in the film comes from Jennifer Carpenter&#8217;s character who shouts, &#8221; I know what you&#8217;re doing. I hope you kill them. I hope you kill them all!&#8221; Who says that out loud for everyone to hear? Movie characters that&#8217;s who. We can&#8217;t be that surprised by her lack of tact, this is the same movie where Driver walks into an operating room and kills a man while he&#8217;s on the table. Discretion isn&#8217;t a valued trait in this film.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p><em>Faster</em> is more than what meets the eye. It&#8217;s gory and abrasive  but also has an interesting plot twist that you never see coming. If you want to spend the holiday getting your socks knocked off by some over the top action, <em>Faster</em> is the film for you!</p>
<h2>Rating: 8/10</h2>
<p><em>Faster</em> hits theaters on November 24.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-109201" title="the change up mr popper's penguins casting" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/the-change-up-mr-poppers-penguins-casting.jpg" alt="the change up mr poppers penguins casting Leslie Mann Joins Change Up, Carla Gugino Cast in Mr. Poppers Penguins" width="570" height="413" /></p>
<p>Two actresses have been cast in two very different comedies that feature some well known actors.<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Leslie-Mann"> Leslie Mann</a> has landed a role in the upcoming <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Ryan-Reynolds">Ryan Reynolds </a>and <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Jason-Bateman">Jason Bateman</a> film <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/The-Change-Up/"><strong><em>The Change-Up</em></strong></a>, while<a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Carla-Gugino "> Carla Gugino </a>has been cast in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mr-poppers-penguins/"><strong><em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins </em></strong></a>alongside <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Jim-Carrey">Jim Carrey</a>. Who will play what? Find out below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-109193"></span></p>
<p><em>The Change-Up</em> is another take on the old school body-swap story that we&#8217;ve all seen so many times. In the film, Bateman plays a family man who accidentally swaps bodies with his best friend, a single slacker actor played by Reynolds. Each gets a glimpse at what he missed, and an appreciation of what he had. Mann has been cast as the female lead according to <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118024447.html?categoryid=13&amp;cs=1">Variety</a>, but no specifics have been released regarding her character.</p>
<p>As for <em>Mr. Popper&#8217;s Penguins</em>, the film centers on a high-powered businessman who suddenly inherits six penguins. As he gets acquainted with – and increasingly attached to – his winged roommates, Popper’s life quickly unravels: his swanky New York apartment is turned into a snowy winter wonderland, the deal he’s long been working on is derailed, and he almost lands in jail. Gugino has also<a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118024448.html?categoryid=13&amp;cs=1"> been cast</a> in an unspecified role (what&#8217;s up with that?) but sources say she&#8217;s landed the part of Mrs. Popper.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of these two castings? Which are you more excited about?</strong></p>

<p>It&#8217;s here! After giving you a<a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-07-24/comic-con-2010-sucker-punch-footage-first-look/"> sneak peek</a> at the first trailer for Warner Bros&#8217; <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/sucker-punch"><strong><em>Sucker Punch</em></strong></a>, the footage has been released online. It&#8217;s popped up on <a href="http://trailers.apple.com/movies/wb/suckerpunch/suckerpunch-tlr1_480p.mov">Apple Trailers</a> and it has all the ass-kicking, gun-shooting, fighter-plane action that you could ask for. The film is directed by <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Zack-Snyder">Zack Snyder</a> and has been described as <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/alice-in-wonderland"><strong><em>Alice in Wonderland</em></strong></a> with machine guns. It&#8217;s time to see if the movie actually lives up to the tagline. Check out the trailer&#8230;</p>

<p><img src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" title="Official Trailer for Zack Snyders Sucker Punch!" alt="default video player Official Trailer for Zack Snyders Sucker Punch!" /></p>
<p><strong>Official Plot Synopsis:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>Set in the 1950s,<em> <strong>Sucker Punch</strong></em> follows Babydoll (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Emily-Browning">Emily Browning</a>)  who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends  to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an  alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she  begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get  her out before she is deflowered by a vile man.</p></blockquote>
<p>As you can see from the trailer, Snyder continues to use that glossy, heavily airbrushed look in his films. The same dark colors with high contrast and special effects. The film looks to have a similar aesthetic as <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Watchmen"><em><strong>Watchmen</strong></em></a> and <em><strong>300</strong></em>. I&#8217;m starting to think that his <em><strong>Dawn of the Dead</strong></em> remake is going to continue to be the only live action film in his arsenal that wasn&#8217;t mostly shot in front of a green screen.</p>
<p><em>Sucker Punch</em> hits theaters on March 25, 2011. The same month <em>Watchmen</em> and <em>300</em> were released. Another coincidence? I think not!</p>

<p>The cast of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Zack-Snyder"><strong>Zack Snyder&#8217;s</strong></a> female dominated action flick<em><strong> <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/sucker-punch">Sucker Punch</a></strong></em> took over<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/comic-con"> Comic-Con </a>with their official Hall H panel and those in attendance were lucky enough to see some cool footage. We also discovered some interesting news regarding Snyder&#8217;s plans for the film and his next project. Find out the dirt below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-97405"></span></p>
<p>Snyder came out first and talked about how excited he was to be at Comic-Con again (the usual). He took over the moderator&#8217;s job and decided to introduce the cast members which included <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Carla-Gugino">Carla Gugino</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Jena-Malone">Jena Malone</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Vanessa-Hudgens">Vanessa Hudgens</a>,<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ Jamie-Chung"> Jamie Chung</a>, </strong>and<strong> <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Emily-Browning">Emily Browning</a>.</strong> They all introduced themselves and talked a bit about their characters in the film.</p>
<p>After the intro, they showed the first trailer for the film, which we gave an in depth description of in our<a href="http://screencrave.com/2010-07-24/comic-con-2010-sucker-punch-footage-first-look/"> first look.</a> After that, Snyder spoke a bit about his next project, <em><strong>Xerxes</strong></em>, the follow up/spin-off to <em><strong>300</strong></em>. He&#8217;s currently co-writing the screenplay right now and is definitely doing the movie.</p>
<p>Before they left he also let us know that he thinks<em> Sucker Punch</em> will be rated PG-13 (gasp!). We know it sounds crazy but he honestly thinks it might happen. He said that the ratings board gave <em><strong>Lord of the Rings</strong></em> a PG-13 and they cut monster&#8217;s heads off so why not? <em>Sucker Punch </em>also has the same kind of fantastical element to it so it could be possible.</p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/carla-gugino">Carla Gugino</a> is set to star opposite her <strong><em>Race to Witch Mountain</em></strong> co-star <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Dwayne-Johnson">Dwayne Johnson</a> in the action flick <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/faster/"><strong><em>Faster</em></strong></a>. She will be replacing<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Salma-Hayek"> Salma Hayek</a> who was originally cast as the female lead in the film that will mark Johnson&#8217;s return to darker material. As of late he&#8217;s been doing more family oriented projects, but <em>Faster</em> is a different kind of animal.</p>
<p><span id="more-66217"></span></p>
<p>The story for <em>Faster</em> centers on an ex-con hell bent on avenging his brothers death. Johnson will play a character named Driver, while <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/billy-bob-thornton">Billy Bob Thornton</a> will star as a veteran cop who trails him as he races to settle with those responsible for his brother’s murder. Also in the mix is Killer, an egocentric hitman who’s after Driver. According to <a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118015393.html?categoryid=13&amp;cs=1">Variety</a>, Gugino has been hired to step in to star as a detective on Driver&#8217;s trail who&#8217;s trying to wrap up a decade old case.</p>
<p><em>Faster</em> is directed by <strong>George Tillman Jr</strong>. and also stars <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/maggie-grace">Maggie Grace</a> and<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/moon-bloodgood"> Moon Bloodgood</a>. There are a lot of women being added to this cast, which is rare in a big action movie. If Gugino&#8217;s a cop, I&#8217;m assuming one of the other actresses will be a love interest, and the other could be a villain of some sort. Just throwing that out there.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think about Gugino replacing Hayek? Is she a good fit for the role?</strong></p>
