Channing Tatum Reviews, Interviews & More
Last year most of America decided to not pay any mind to what easily was one of the best movies of the year, Cloud Atlas. Regardless of how the movie did in the box office, and we're still slightly upset over how grossly underrated it is, the Wachowskis are moving on forward with their latest science fiction adventure, Jupiter Ascending.
Welcome to the gunshow. G.I. Joe Retaliation is where firepower, meets muscle and tanning oil. The sequel to 2009's Rise of Cobra is a livelier adaptation of the Hasbro property. That's not saying much considering the original film left much room for improvement. But director Jon M. Chu tries to right some of the wrongs plagued by its...
The plot of the relentlessly mediocre Olympus Has Fallen is this: former Secret Service agent Gerard Butler pulls a Die Hard and acts as a one man army as terrorists take over the White House. And the plot of White House Down is as follows: former Secret Service agent Channing Tatum pulls a Die Hard and acts as a one man...
When G.I. Joe: Retaliation got pushed from June of last year to March of this year, one of the elements that people thought might be changed was the role of Channing Tatum. When he did G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Hollywood was attempting to make him the next big thing but it hadn't taken yet. And so when Retaliation...
Side Effects is Steven Soderbergh's latest film and it packs a punch. It sways from one extreme to another within the course of minutes. It's something that could throw off or upset viewers. Despite the time given to settle into the environment, the twists and turns overcompensate for a missing element.
If it feels like the off season for cinema, you're not wrong. But that doesn't mean there aren't gems in the rough. This week we get the latest/possibly last movie from Steven Soderbergh, but then also Identity Thief. Which should win the weekend.
A little less than a year ago, Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh first worked together with Haywire. Since then Tatum starred in The Vow and 21 Jump Street, and then the two teamed up together again for Magic Mike, which was one of the surprise hits of the summer. Now...
Originally scheduled to be a June 2012 release, G.I. Joe: Retaliation was bumped from this summer and moved to March 2013 to be retooled and converted to 3D. Now there's a new trailer to help sell its Spring launch, and it features a little more Channing Tatum, about the same amount of Dwayne Johnson, and a touch more Bruce Willis. Check it out.
Steven Soderbergh has talked about retirement, but that should come as no surprise. Since September of last year he's had three movies in the theaters and in February he'll have another, on top of which he's also working on his Liberace bio-pic. That's a lot of filmmaking, so the man probably does need to take a rest. His latest film is called Side Effects, and we...
G.I. Joe: Retaliation was originally set to hit theaters this past summer, where it was on track to be one of the mega-blockbusters of 2012. Instead, Paramount pulled the film just one month before release—after already shelling out a ton on the film’s advertising campaign—to convert the film to 3D (translation: the film is terrible and would no way have stayed afloat in...
2012 has definitely been Channing Tatum’s year—his romantic drama The Vow nearly scored $200 million in box office receipts; in March, he was the star (with Jonah Hill) of the surprisingly not bad 21 Jump Street film adaptation/reboot; then, this summer, there was a little Steven Soderbergh movie called Magic Mike. The story of a male stripper...
Young Hollywood is going back to school. Writer-director Jamie Linden's reunion-centered 10 Years, features both established and up-and-coming stars. The laid-back dramedy is filled with familiar faces and honest performances that keep you glued to the screen. It's not a perfect film but it has a lot of heart, and "man of the moment" Channing...
Having made $75 Million already (with a $7 Million dollar budget), Magic Mike is one of the most profitable films of the year, and one of the sleeper hits of the summer. And you know what that means: Sequel talk. Star and narrative inspiration Channing Tatum says they're already working on it.
This week, Channing Tatum and Steven Soderbergh announced that they'd be producing Magic Mike: The Musical. So, it's actually happening! The crew over at Film created a mash video of Seth Rogen's distinguishable "hehe" laugh. And the people at The Oatmeal came up with a cartoon that could possibly revolutionize the movie theater experience. All that...
Seeing a woman as an erotic dancer in cinema isn't new. It's been going on for decades. Therefore, when a film like Steven Soderbergh's Magic Mike comes along, it grabs your attention. Despite the extravagant amount of man-flesh slathered onscreen, Magic Mike has a surprising amount of darkness and heart tucked beneath its well-sculpted...
This week we’ve got a best picture winner, one of the year’s best comedies, a foreign film Oscar nominee, a near-Bollywood musical, a forgettable horror movie, one of this year’s bigger noisy would-be blockbusters. On the classic front, there's Hitchcock, samurai adventure, and the movie that made dueling banjos something to be slightly scared of. Check it out…
The film’s not even out yet, but already screenwriter and producer Reid Carolin has announced Magic Mike, Steven Soderbergh‘s male stripper pic based on the real-life experiences of star Channing Tatum, is on its way for a Broadway run. Even further: some of the movie's cast may even get involved in the stage adaptation. Read on for more.
Two of Channing Tatum's former co-workers have accused him of stealing their stripper moves for his new movie Magic Mike, in which he plays, well, a stripper. Tatum may be a lot of things – actor, model, producer, former stripper – but according to him, he's no thief. In a recent interview he shot down the rumors, saying, "Those guys have been trying to make money...
Anyone who was looking forward to seeing G.I. Joe: Retaliation this summer knows they have a lot of disappointment on their hands, as Paramount bumped the film from its June 29th release date to March 2013 (also, the fact that they were looking forward to the sequel at all raises some issues). While the studio claims the move is due to a last minute decision for a 3D...
In a series of quickly edited shots drenched in a palette of the prerequisite orange and teal, featuring actors fake-baked and color-corrected to an unnatural orange hue and surrounded by a CGI landscape of kabooms, slow-to-fast motion collisions, and Bruce Willis in full-on late-period-bald-Bruce-Willis-paycheck-role mode, the full trailer for G.I. Joe: Retaliation is basically every...
