Mark Wahlberg Reviews, Interviews & More

There are a number of more new releases to home video today than in the last couple weeks, which is exciting, but most are wash outs from earlier this year and from last year. There are some great catalog titles, which is nice. Check it out…

It's the end of April, which means that the summer season starts next week with Iron Man 3 (which is really good). Until then, we get a Michael Bay movie starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, which would normally be a big summer event, but since this is Bay's small art film, it's being released with the hope of having little competition and a quick payday.

After years of making big, dumb, and almost sociopathically stupid CGI-heavy films like The Transformers franchise and The Island, Michael Bay is finally going back to the genre that he began in—big, dumb, and almost sociopathically stupid comedic action films that are well aware how utterly ridiculous they are (see also: Bad Boys, The...

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is finally upon us—Transformers 4 finally has a plot summary.  Yes, we can finally know what Michael Bay will use to feature a bunch of robot vehicles fighting each other all over planet Earth, all while a series of interchangeable human actors stare in wonderment at a series of green screens.  It’s a pretty exciting day.

As if the television show hadn’t become insufferable enough before it finally ended in 2011, Entourage is returning to haunt our lives with its smarmy and smug Hollywood bromancery.  But it will no longer be infecting your television—Entourage is coming to your big screen.  Yes, Warner Bros. is green lighting a film follow-up to the mercifully ended TV...

Allen Hughes has stepped out on his own to direct Broken City. It's an intriguing thriller that stumbles on its feet as it comes to a close. It keeps you guessing and has a wonderful cast, but those positives can't hide the film's flaws.

No city is without its share of deceit and corruption. Humans are complicated animals who'll do whatever they can to survive --even break the rules. Director Allen Hughes' latest movie Broken City deals with how desperate people can become in order to maintain their reputation. Since he wasn't collaborating with brother Albert Hughes, Allen's unique directing style...

Michael Bay has spent most of the last decade making Transformers movies, and will continue to for at least one more film. But for those who ever suggested the director had something going on besides being one of the most talented directors with visual effects and scale, it's been hard to defend Bay considering he's made three big-budget toy adverts. Now comes...

Broken City, which stars Mark Wahlberg, Russell Crowe and Catherine Zeta-Jones (all Oscar nominees, and 66% of those are winners) is coming out January 18. And it used to be if a film like this came out in January, it was because it was terrible. Nowadays, all it means is that it's a B picture that features stars, and may deliver the goods, but can't compete with...

Because his insufferability is to the point that not even a megabudget Transformers sequel can contain him, it’s been known for some time that Shia LaBeouf would not be returning for Michael Bay’s Transformers 4.   Rumor has had it that this film would feature a female protagonist (because Michael Bay’s all about progressive gender politics) with a race car-driving...

They say January is where movies go to die. Allen Hughes' upcoming political thriller Broken City has an impressive cast, but can it do better than Mark Wahlberg's last January film (Contraband)? Our hopes are much higher for this one, especially after this first clip where an intimidating Russell Crowe tells Wahlberg, "I own you."

Though it won’t see a release for another year and a half—June 27, 2014, to be exact—the news surrounding Transformers 4: Seriously, A Fourth One? has already been ramping up of late.  First came the rumor that Mark Wahlberg would star.  Then Michael Bay said he wouldn’t star.  Then Bay said, ‘sure, internet, what the hell—let’s put Wahlberg in there.’  Now Bay has...

First, there was the internet rumor that Mark Wahlberg, fresh off of Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain, would also star in Bay’s upcoming Transformers 4.  Then Bay came forward to deny the rumors, and stated that he and Wahlberg were in talks about another project.  Then Bay came out again and stated that, hey, maybe the internet was on to something with that whole ‘Mark...

Two weeks ago, internet chatter spit forth the rumor that Mark Wahlberg was in negotiations to star in Michael Bay’s Transformers 4.   And it sort of made sense—Wahlberg and Bay apparently shared a close working relationship during the filming of Bay’s upcoming Pain and Gain earlier this year, so why not work together again?  Well, Bay put the kibosh...

Yesterday, rumors kicked loose that Mark Wahlberg, who recently just completed filming Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain—a biopic about two “psychotic gym rats in Miami who get into kidnapping and murder”—would be the star of Bay’s newest insult to coherent cinema, Transformers 4.  Which would be something of a shock, as Wahlberg, while he may not be Laurence...

The set up for Broken City is ripe. A cop (Mark Wahlberg) is asked by the mayor (Russell Crowe) to spy on his wife (Catherine Zeta-Jones), but it turns out the end game is not what was imagined. The trailer suggests that the film could be entertaining, so check it out.

Ted is Seth MacFarlane unleashed. The writer, actor, and producer is making an R-rated splash with his feature directorial debut. He takes all the crude, yet hilarious jokes cut from Family Guy and puts them on the big screen. On the surface, Ted is a raunchy comedy but at its core there's a heartfelt story about two...

Summer 2012 is beginning to feel like a game of “release date musical chairs."   After Paramount’s surprise move to push back action sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation from June 29th to 2013, Universal has decided to make hay while the proverbial sun shines by shuffling Seth McFarlane‘s R-rated comedy Ted as well.  Ted has now...

This week we're starting to see some of 2012's movies hit DVD and Blu-ray, and still some of 2011's best (and want-to-be bests). The best of the lot is the original TV miniseries version of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, with Alec Guiness playing the role that gave Gary Oldman an Oscar nomination. It's not a great week for Blu-ray, but as...

Imagine your favorite doll as a little kid.  Now imagine that you wished he could come to life and be your best friend—what a fun childhood that would make, right?  Now imagine that it’s 30 years later, you’re tickling middle age, and your walking, talking, sentient and foul-mouthed teddy bear is still living with you, getting high, sleeping around and working at the local grocery...
