Jamie Foxx Reviews, Interviews & More

When Rio made its way to theaters in April of 2011, it was a surprise hit, netting over $140 Million domestically and nearly half a billion worldwide. Which meant that they were going to have to make a sequel. And so they did. Rio 2 is hitting theaters next April, and until then here's a teaser trailer.

The Will Gluck-directed, Will Smith, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and Jay-Z-produced reboot of Annie may have just cast the second-largest role in the film (Beasts of the Southern Wild star Quvuenzhane Wallis will portray the titular orphan), as Jamie Foxx is now in talks to take the Daddy Warbucks...

Another slow week for DVD and Blu-ray releases, but hey, hopefully your taxes are done, and you can pick up Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. Otherwise, there’s a great classic 80’s film hitting the Criterion collection, and some classic Jackie Chan films.

Since The Amazing Spider-Man’s release, we’ve been more than a little skeptical of The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s choice in villains—after all, if the first film could turn classic villain the Lizard into a goofy CGI monster stomping around New York with a comically erudite British accent, how poorly translated would Electro, a man whose body can conduct thousands of...

Here’s a fascinating case of an actor wildly mis-reading a script: in 2011, news broke that Quentin Tarantino wanted Will Smith to star as the titular character in his pre-Civil War era spaghetti western, Django Unchained.  Which made sense, in a way—Tarantino has a knack for oddball casting, and Will Smith starring in an actual good film is as odd as it gets these days (plus, as...

Hey, look, just because a film’s plot is totally resolved beyond a doubt and the arc of all the major characters therein are totally completed doesn’t mean the story’s really over, right?  Right?  Ok, look—Horrible Bosses was filmed for $35 million in 2011.  In made $300 million in worldwide box office.  It’s getting a sequel, and we should just accept that.

Spider-Man fans knew that Norman Osborn/The Green Goblin would eventually make his way into The Amazing Spider-Man universe, but not this soon. The folks over at Sony Pictures want Norman Osborn in their movie now and have cast a cool new actor for the role in their upcoming sequel The Amazing Spider-Man 2. 

You’ve got to hand it to Mark Webb and company: in their efforts to truly distance their rebooted Spider-Man franchise from the Sam Raimi films, they’ve thus far steadfastly refused to use any of the same villains as Raimi (translation: all the good ones).  Instead, the Lizard was the underwhelming Big Bad for The Amazing Spider-Man; and last year it was...

We’ll say this for Jamie Foxx—the actor really doesn’t seem to worry that much about major movie spoilers.  While the plot of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (in which Foxx will star as Spidey villain Electro) isn’t exactly something the whole world is clamoring for, it’s still being kept relatively under wraps by the folks at Sony.  Or rather, it was kept under wraps,...

In 2009, Quentin Tarantino tackled Europe's Nazi past with Inglourious Basterds. Three years later, he's decided to take care of home. The writer and director's latest work, Django Unchained, focuses on the darkest time in American history. Jamie Foxx stars as a freed slave, who with the help of a German bounty hunter, searches for his wife in a world set on keeping them...

Earlier this month, we reported to you that a mysterious tweet from Jamie Foxx appeared to indicate that the actor—soon to be seen in Django Unchained—was up for the role of The Amazing Spider-Man 2’s big bad.  The villain?  Try not to giggle, but it’s the lower echelon Spidey baddie Electro (hey, give ‘em a break—after the...

If you’ll recall, in the lead-up to production and principle photography of Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated western Django Unchained, much was made of the fact that the iconoclastic and mercurial director’s desire to cast Will Smith in the role of Django, an escaped slave who teams up with a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to rescue his wife from a plantation owner...

While The Amazing Spider-Man was a serviceable reboot of a franchise that really didn’t need a reboot (despite Spider-Man 3, well, you know, being horrible), it wasn’t exactly a film that earned a top spot in the canon of superhero films.  That said, Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone both aced their roles with humor and loads of chemistry, so much so that a...

Okay, so we're currently drowning underneath the heavy weight that is possible Oscar contenders. But we must not forget that there is a couple of movies that we should be paying attention to that are coming out next month. No, we're not talking about the darn Hobbit, we're referring to Quentin Tarantino's bloody revenge tale Django...

At some point in an A-list actor's life he/she has to face what could be one of the bigger points of their career, and that's making a comic book adapted movie. Within the past fifteen years the landscape of these films in Hollywood has changed from barely giving them the time of day to becoming the epitome of summer tent pole films. Now Jamie Foxx is up to bat and within the next few days...

In the most recent issue of Total Film—the 200th overall—the magazine celebrates the past 15 years in film, and names Quentin Tarantino as the “Director Of Our Lifetime,” and features an interview with the hyperactive auteur.  In said interview, Tarantino drops an interesting nugget about his upcoming spaghetti western genre rip, Django Unchained, and its...

Movies have been great for the last couple weeks. We've gotten The Master, Looper, Argo, and shortly we'll be getting Cloud Atlas. These are films to talk about and think about for days. But this is an awesome year for movies, because in a couple weeks we'll also be getting...

Well, despite many casting changes and bailouts, and accusations of an out of control production, it appears that Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained is still on schedule for a Christmas release, as the film’s marketing train continues to roll ever onward.  Now we have another full-length trailer which once again spells out the plot—Django (Jamie Foxx) teams up with a bounty...

Quentin Tarantino makes his first trip to the San Diego Comic-Con and brings his latest movie Django Unchained to the attendees. Some fans waited all night to see Tarantino and company debut some new footage, and boy did they get it.

Saturday morning, Quentin Tarantino brought his epic Django Unchained to Comic-Con. He unveiled an eight-minute sizzle reel that featured never before scene footage from the film. It consisted of material from the first-half of the movie, which means there were no major spoilers. But plenty of action, blood and humor. So without...
