<p>This week <strong>Hulk Hogan</strong> finally came clean and admitted that <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Darren-Aronofsky">Darren Aronofsky</a></strong> wanted him to play the lead role in the 2008 critical hit <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/the-wrestler"><strong><em>The Wrestler</em></strong></a>. The role that reignited <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/mickey-rourke">Mickey Rourke</a></strong>&#8216;s career was originally meant for Hogan, at least according to Hogan. Also this week were the <a href="http://screencrave.com/2012-01-24/2012-academy-award-nominations-announced/">Oscar nominations</a>: while many great performances were acknowledged, many were <a href="http://screencrave.com/2012-01-25/tilda-swinton-wants-to-party-with-the-oscar-snubbed/">snubbed by the Academy</a> including <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a></strong>, who was hailed for his performance in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/shame"><strong><em>Shame</em></strong></a>.  The<strong> <em>Los Angeles Times</em></strong> took a closer look at why the actor might&#8217;ve been left out of the running. We also have a couple of movie previews. Catch up below.</p>
<p><span id="more-158791"></span></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Michael Fassbender&#8217;s Penis:</strong> Among the many who got snubbed by the Academy is actor Michael Fassbender, who, this year, portrayed a sex addict in <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/steve-mcqueen">Steve McQueen</a>&#8216;s NC-17 rated Shame. The <a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/gossip/2012/01/oscar-nominations-michael-fassbender-snub-penis.html"><strong><em>Los Angeles Times</em></strong></a> wrote an article about the actor suggesting he was snubbed because showing his penis on film took away from his &#8220;super-brave&#8221; performance.</li>
<li><strong>Hulk Hogan Fantasies: </strong>Hulk Hogan told <a href="http://www.digitalspy.com/movies/news/a362336/hulk-hogan-on-turning-down-the-wrestler-role-i-wasnt-right.html"><strong><em>Digital Spy</em></strong></a> recently that he was asked, not once, but several times, to play the role that reignited Mickey Rourke&#8217;s career. That&#8217;s right, after four years of silence, Hogan said that he turned down the lead role in <em>The Wrestler</em> because he felt he wasn&#8217;t right for the role. Could you imagine Hogan playing such a serious and dramatic role? Do you believe that Darren Aronofsky wanted him to play Randy &#8216;The Ram&#8217; Robinson?</li>
<li><strong>Movies In An Alternate Universe</strong>: Artist Sean Hartter invented this cool concept where he took titles of current well-known movies, but remade them so that the movie&#8217;s poster suggested a different time or era. An example of one film is 2011&#8242;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/drive"><strong><em>Drive</em></strong></a>, where James Dean has taken <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ryan-gosling/">Ryan Gosling</a>&#8216;s place. It&#8217;s actually pretty cool. Head over to <a href="http://www.behance.net/gallery/Movies-From-An-Alternate-Universe/2783319"><strong><em>Behance</em></strong></a> to see the cool posters.</li>
</ul>
<h2>New Photos:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Snow White Photo: </strong>Below is an up-close look at <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/kristen-stewart/">Kristen Stewart</a> as Snow White from the upcoming film <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/snow-white-and-the-huntsman/"><strong><em>Snow White and the Hunstman</em></strong></a>. There&#8217;s not much detail, but if you&#8217;re excited about the movie, then enjoy.</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-157065" title="Prometheus" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Prometheus.jpg" alt="Prometheus Trailer for Ridley Scotts Prometheus" width="578" height="254" /></p>
<p>Quick of cut and huge of scale, the trailer for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ridley-scott">Ridley Scott</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/prometheus"><em><strong>Prometheus</strong></em> </a>ties the film into his 1979 film <em><strong>Alien</strong></em> in two distinct ways. One is the lettering that comes as we get quick flashes of cast members <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/charlize-theron">Charlize Theron</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Noomi-Rapace">Noomi Rapace</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/idris-elba">Idris Elba</a>. The other is a certain prop that looks mighty familiar to fans of the original. Check out the trailer&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-157984"></span>What this film is seems still up for grabs. The characters are humans (&#8220;They went looking for our beginning&#8221;), I guess, and there seems to be a lot of large scale sets, and great science fiction atmosphere. But what&#8217;s going on is completely up for grabs, and it&#8217;s hard to know if the film follows the original&#8217;s Ten Little Indians structure. The cast listing says &#8220;and Charlize Theron&#8221; which could mean she&#8217;s the first or last to go.<br />
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X_LbCKgo5aU" frameborder="0" width="570" height="324"></iframe></p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t seem to offer much <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/guy-pearce">Guy Pearce</a>, but to be fair no one gets any on screen dialogue, and this seems to be more about setting a tone, which is the new trailer goal. That tone is &#8220;it&#8217;s a little like the first film, but much more fast paced and jump scary.&#8221; Supposedly this is the first of two of these films.The film comes out June 8, 2012.</p>
<p><strong>Is that what you wanted out of an Prometheus trailer?</strong></p>

<p><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/ridley-scott">Ridley Scott&#8217;</a>s<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/prometheus"> <em><strong>Prometheus</strong></em></a> is and isn&#8217;t a sequel/prequel to his 1979 film <em><strong>Alien</strong></em>. And though it may not feature Alien creatures as we know them from the previous installments, from the latest images to come from the film it&#8217;s going to have the same look and feel that&#8217;s for sure. The film is due out June, 8 2012, but the first wave of publicity is starting to hit, with new images below. Check out the gallery.</p>

<p>First of all, let me say I like the identifications on these because it makes them look like old school lobby cards. And were these images weathered down, some might look like they came from the first movie.</p>
<p>This is our first good look at the cast, and it will be interesting to see how much the film mimics the structure of the first film. Likely the majority of the cast won&#8217;t make it until the end, so it&#8217;s quite possible <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/idris-elba">Idris Elba</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Noomi-Rapace">Noomi Rapace</a> or <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/charlize-theron">Charlize Theron </a>are there to provide the shock of an early exit. But my guess is they&#8217;ll try to keep such surprises close to the vest. A bootleg trailer leaked over the weekend, which means that a full trailer should be attached to one of the bigger Holiday movies. Since it&#8217;s Fox, the best guess is that it will be on <em><strong>Alvin and the Chipmunks 3: Chipwrecked</strong></em>.</p>
<p><strong>Do you think Michael Fassbender just looks weird in the still, or does it feel like he&#8217;s a android?</strong></p>

<p>This week in theaters, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/shame/" target="_blank"><strong><em>Shame</em></strong></a>, the already multiple award-winning film, directed by<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Steve-McQueen/"> <strong>Steve McQueen</strong></a> and starring <strong><a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender/" target="_blank">Michael Fassbender</a></strong> hits theaters with a whole lot of sex, emotion and fine filmmaking. McQueen and Fassbender have already proved that they&#8217;re a powerful duo with <a href="http://screencrave.com/2009-02-26/hunger-brings-us-a-new-steve-mcqueen/"><strong><em>Hunger</em></strong></a> and now they&#8217;re back to show us what they&#8217;re made of. The NC-17 rating will likely scare away some viewers, but it really shouldn&#8217;t. The topic of this film is extremely relevant to a major societal issue taking place today, and the way the film is shot (nudity and all) represents the honest and raw portrayal of the emotions of the story you&#8217;re seeing on screen. It&#8217;s a provocative film in many ways and well worth checking out, that is, if you&#8217;re willing to go on the journey&#8230;</p>

<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director:</strong> Steve McQueen</li>
<li><strong>Actors:</strong> Michael Fassbender, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Carey-Mulligan/">Carey Mulligan</a></li>
<li><strong>Screenplay:</strong> Abi Morgan, Steve McQueen</li>
<li><strong>Cinematographer:</strong> Sean Bobbitt</li>
<li><strong>Musical Score:</strong> Harry Escott</li>
<li><strong>Producers:</strong> Iain Canning, Emile Sherman</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p>A sex addict struggles with maintaining his way of life as his job starts to question him, his sister comes into town bringing her own baggage as well as reminding him of his own, and he attempts to find ways to &#8220;be normal&#8221; but just can&#8217;t.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Michael Fassbender</strong>: Between this and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/A-Dangerous-Method/"><em><strong>A Dangerous Method</strong></em> </a>(oddly enough one of my other favorite films of the year), there&#8217;s no doubt that people will start wondering what&#8217;s going on with Fassbender that draws him to these sexually diverse parts. My theory is that he likes good roles, but I&#8217;m sure others will come up with other more petty reasons. In this film Fassbender is brave, seductive, horrifying and completely vulnerable in this film. It&#8217;s like watching the raw soul of a tortured man on screen. You quickly forget any other character&#8217;s he&#8217;s played and not only is he able to bring the character to life, but he&#8217;s able to engage the audience in such a wide variety of emotions, it&#8217;s hard to understand how he&#8217;s able to bring so much to life.</li>
<li><strong>Carey Mulligan</strong>: This is one of those parts that could be easily overdone, pushed, exaggerated and quickly become annoying. Thank god for Mulligan and her potent subtlety. Though I don&#8217;t like all the directions the script took this character in, she gave one hell of a performance, whether on screen or over a message machine, she&#8217;s captivating and it&#8217;s lovely to see her in such a courageous role once again.</li>
<li><strong>Honesty</strong>: From the way the film was shot, to the lackadaisical and yet precise approach to nudity, to capturing the emotions that go along with this characters sex acts, to the lighting, to the sets and pissing on camera &#8212; everything about this film felt very raw and true to life. The film fully engages you and transports you into the world and psyche of these characters.</li>
<li><strong>Taking a Leap</strong>: Though this film is not 100% successful, it was amazing because it&#8217;s not like the rest of the herd, it&#8217;s attempting to break new ground and in new ways. It&#8217;s a leap forward from a number of other films that talk about sex and really sets itself apart in it&#8217;s ability to not only show a story but emote on screen and have the audience emoting with it.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Ending</strong>: It felt like they wanted to make the film into a full tragedy, but at the very end slipped into partial tragedy. It feels like there even could have been another ending for festivals that was toned down for its release. Just a guess. Without spoiling anything, the ending did not fully embrace the rest of the film, nor have the depth that we had seen up until then. The entire film, up until a few moments at the end felt very fresh and they they made a few cliche turns with Mulligan&#8217;s character and didn&#8217;t fully &#8220;go there&#8221;. Which ties into&#8230;</li>
<li><strong>Lack of Depth in the End</strong>: The filmmakers were dealing with a relevant topic and shedding light on it in very bold ways, but it felt like they didn&#8217;t know fully how to end it with the same power and depth of the rest of the film. Maybe they felt there was already enough darkness in the film as whole that they didn&#8217;t need a more disturbing ending, but it would have been nice to end the film in a somewhat more profound way and with something as honest and inventive as the rest of it. (<em>Note: I will see this film a second time just to make sure I agree with this statement. If you disagree I&#8217;d love to know your thoughts below</em>.)</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s easy to get bored of watching the same damn films over and over again, but if there&#8217; one thing I can say about<strong><em> Shame</em></strong> it is that it felt like McQueen was really attempting to step into new territory and do so in new ways. The film was beautifully shot, finely acted, is as relevant as it will ever be, takes a lot of risks, and though I have my complaints about it, this is a film that helps move cinema forward and in a time when we&#8217;re flooded with new releases, this is one that has the potential to be remembered and used as an example for other filmmakers for some time to come.</p>
<p>For all of those reasons not only do I recommend <em>Shame</em> as a sold pick that will likely get a lot of Oscar buzz, but I am grateful for it both as a film-watcher and a filmmaker &#8212; it&#8217;s truly inspirational.</p>
<h2>Rating: 8.5/10</h2>
<p><strong><em>Shame</em></strong> is in select theaters now and will be hitting more this Friday, December 2nd.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-156815" title="Keria Knightley and Michael Fassbender in A Dangerous Method" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/6.jpg" alt="6 Dangerous Method: Movie Review" width="573" height="381" /></p>
<p>The sex lives and interactions of Carl Jung (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a>) and Sigmund Freud (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Viggo-Mortensen">Viggo Mortensen</a>) seems a ripe topic for <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/david-cronenberg">David Cronenberg</a>. It sets expectations that <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/a-dangerous-method"><em><strong>A Dangerous Method</strong></em></a> cannot meet. His film &#8211; adapted from the play by Christopher Hampton &#8211; rarely goes for some of the beautiful discomfort that one would expect from the old genre master. Instead you got a modestly engaging piece about how both lives were changed by the work of Sabina Spielrein (<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/keira-knightley">Keira Knightley</a>), a patient turned psychologist and not-so-secret lover of Jung.</p>
<p><span id="more-156808"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Director: <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/david-cronenberg">David Cronenberg</a></li>
<li>Writer: Christopher Hampton</li>
<li>Starring: <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/keira-knightley">Keira Knightley</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Viggo-Mortensen">Viggo Mortensen</a>, Vincent Cassel</li>
<li>Original Music by: Howard Shore</li>
<li>Cinematography by: Peter Suschitzky</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p>The young Carl Jung (Fassbender) is given the troubled patient Sabina Spielrein (Knightley), who&#8217;s considered so far out there that few have hope she can recover. He works with her using methods practiced by Sigmund Freud (Mortensen), and his use allows the two to begin to communicate. Spielrein is twisted up in emotional and physical knots, but Jung finally gets her to calm down &#8211; though much of her problems are tied into her sex drive, which is set off by violence. She is cured, though, and studies psychology with Jung&#8217;s encouragement. Freud and Jung have a friendship, but Freud treats Jung as a favorite pupil, and there is tension between the two because they hold different beliefs about religion and the fantastic. Sabina settles into psychology, but there is an attraction between the two and Jung takes her on as a lover, especially after talking with Otto Gross (Cassel) &#8211; a psychologist turned patient who feels that he should satisfy any base desire.</p>
<h2>The Good</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>That Cast</strong>: Though Knightley&#8217;s twisted body behavior in the first act is going to be a dividing line for some (I had no problem with it), you&#8217;ve got four of the best actors of their day involved in great discussions that are often fights masqueraded by pleasantries. Every time Mortensen and Fassbender share a frame, there&#8217;s an implicit danger to their conversations &#8211; both parties don&#8217;t want to make the wrong move until the cards eventually collapse, and their egos and beliefs that make every scene between them fascinating. Both know they can decode much of what is parsed. Vincent Cassel also gets to show up for a couple scenes and an embody an Dionysian approach to life.</li>
<li><strong>Cronenberg</strong>: He is both the best and worst thing about the film. If one looks at him as the adapter, he makes the play reasonably cinematic, and the performances engrossing  and emotionally naked. When things get kinky and weird he shows it with maximum impact in a few frames. He&#8217;s great at showing how Knightley&#8217;s character reacts to having sex with Jung, and how she is looking at herself in a mirror while it happens, or how a corset reveals part of her in a way that is evident she&#8217;s using to control the situation. Though the &#8220;filmed play&#8221; critique has already been leveled at the movie (it played festivals), that underrates what Cronenberg does.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cronenberg</strong>: But as an Auteur piece, this is one in a run of pictures that seem meant to class the director up. Working with Hampton&#8217;s material, you wish Cronenberg would rip it up and rewrite it himself to get at what interests him more. There&#8217;s good work here, it&#8217;s not a bad movie by any stretch. <strong><em>A Dangerous Method</em></strong> is merely a modest film that has moments but little force. Perhaps sticking too closely to the play or the real events, it becomes a film of moments with a number of great ones. But the whole never congeals into a great work. And what&#8217;s frustrating is that you can see how close it is to something great. It feels like it was meant for the art house, for critical respect. Or perhaps that&#8217;s the aftertaste of a minor work.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>David Cronenberg is a truly great director, but this is a minor work that offers many pleasures that come with having such talented people behind and in front of the camera.</p>
<h2>Rating: 7/10</h2>
<p><em><strong>A Dangerous Method</strong></em> opens in limited release November 23.</p>

<p>The story of <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Haywire"><em><strong>Haywire </strong></em></a> is familiar. Government agent goes on an appointment and ends up betrayed. But the players <em><strong></strong></em>are exciting. <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Steven-soderberg">Steven Soderberg</a> reteaming with The Limey screenwriter Lem Dobbs. Newcomer <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/gina-carano/">Gina Carano</a> going face to face with <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-douglas">Michael Douglas</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/antonio-banderas/">Antonio Banderas</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Channing-Tatum">Channing Tatum</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Ewan-McGregor%20">Ewan McGregor </a>and <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/bill-paxton/">Bill Paxton</a>. Though the January release date doesn&#8217;t inspire confidence, it&#8217;s trying to be 2012&#8242;s <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/taken"><em><strong>Taken</strong></em></a>. And it looks to deliver. Check out the trailer&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-152338"></span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/KFV0Uvzpz0o" frameborder="0" width="572" height="359"></iframe></p>
<p>The main question mark seems to be Carano, as she was a professional fighter in MMA, but this is the big leagues. But Soderberg is usually smart in his casting, it seems unlikely he didn&#8217;t think she could handle it. It&#8217;s also nice to see a good looking action movie that doesn&#8217;t star <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Jason-statham">Jason Statham </a>or <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Sylvester-Stallone">Sylvester Stallone</a>. So much of the summer action can also fall into the sci-fi fantasy genres, which means less actual hand to hand combat and more CGI stunts.</p>
<p>Soderberg&#8217;s panel at <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/comic-con">comic-con</a> went well, so we&#8217;re in the build for the film&#8217;s release, and the first official trailer does create some excitement about the project. We&#8217;re still a ways out and Soderberg&#8217;s got <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/Contagion/"><em><strong>Contagion</strong></em> </a>in the can and ready for a September release. As Soderberg said at the con, the rumors of his retirement have been greatly exaggerated.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of this trailer?</strong></p>

<p>Thanks to Empire for the trailer. One of the best things about Cronenberg is that he&#8217;s not afraid to delve into deviancy, and the subject matter is intruiging because it&#8217;s about someone who must wrestle with the emotional versus the physical, and also because the idea of Michael Fassbender spanking Keira Knightley is its own reward. And all the main performers have shown a willingness to let it all hang out, so how far this goes is likely left to the MPAA.</p>
<p>Sony Pictures Classics will be releasing the film at some point in the next year. Michael Fassbender is primed to be the star of the year (even if <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/X-Men-First-Class/"><em><strong>X-Men: First Class </strong></em></a>is doing so-so business), so if his performance is excellent, it wouldn&#8217;t be surprising for this to be Oscar bait. The pedigree is there, the question is if it will be too much, too explicit for the supposedly elderly academy.</p>
<p><strong>Who in this cast would you most like to be spanked by?</strong></p>

<p>The X-Men are back with their latest  edition <strong><em>X-Men: First Class</em></strong>,  a prequel to all of the other X-men films  showing us the origins of  the gang. Rest assured that walking into this  film you can spit out the  awful taste of <em>Wolverine</em> and be excited take  everything<em> First  Class</em> has to offer. The quite film obviously has a much  stronger  script, they managed to gather a stellar cast of real actors,  and did a  brilliant job of controlling the chaos that comes with so many  story-lines  and characters that make the <em>X-Men </em>films so great. Though  I&#8217;m not quite  as keen as some of my fellow critics on this film,  there&#8217;s not doubt  that this is a great summer film and quite possible  the best action film  you&#8217;ll see this year (though I&#8217;d love to be  disproved). Let&#8217;s find out  why&#8230;</p>

<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director:</strong> Matthew Vaughn</li>
<li><strong>Writers:</strong> Ashley Miller, Zack Stentz, Jane Goldman, Matthew Vaughn</li>
<li><strong>Story:</strong> Sheldon Turner and Bryan Singer</li>
<li><strong>Starring:</strong> James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Lawrence</li>
<li><strong>Cast:</strong> Nicholas Hoult, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Zoë Kravitz,  Laurence Belcher, Bill Milner, Edi Gathegi, Caleb Landry Jones, Jason  Flemyng, Álex González, Oliver Platt, Morgan Lily, Beth Goddard</li>
<li><strong>Music:</strong> Henry Jackman</li>
<li><strong>Cinematographer:</strong> John Mathieson</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fassbender</strong>: As my fellow ScreenCraver Damon Houx said, &#8220;Michael  Fassbender  is officially a movie star now.&#8221; He literally just chews up this  role and  fascinates and intrigues you in every shot he&#8217;s in. He looks  great on  screen, he&#8217;s immensely talented and he has the ability to  completely  captivate a room. Watch out Pitt, Fassbender has officially  made it.</li>
<li><strong>All the Acting</strong>: The same goes for James McAvoy who gives an equally  strong performance &#8211; though he isn&#8217;t getting as much recognition because he doesn&#8217;t get to play the fun bad-y  and  it&#8217;s always harder to  play  the good guy in a film like this. And supporting the fine  lead  actors  were numerous other grand actors Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult and  numerous other faces you&#8217;ll recognize such as Ray Wise, James Remar and  Michael Ironside.</li>
<li><strong>Cameos</strong>: Don&#8217;t worry! I won&#8217;t spoil anything, but I will say that    they have some well placed, well timed cameos for fan of the series to    enjoy.</li>
<li><strong>Tackling the Characters</strong>: There are a LOT of characters and    emotional twists in this film, and it&#8217;s imperative to the film that you be invested in each    individual. Luckily, they did a great job of    giving every character their moment and balancing   all of the different characters stories.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The So-So:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Kevin Bacon</strong>: Now I love me some Bacon as much as the next person,   but  for some reason he never transcended his own body and became the    character. It may have been a better role for someone, who much like the rest of    the cast you know, but isn&#8217;t quite as &#8220;known&#8221;.</li>
<li><strong>January Jones</strong>: No one can pull off a diamond bikini better than   her, but  man oh man would it be nice to see her as something different   than play the  overly simplified, sexy blond. Someone get some dirt on her   and make her  cry goddammit!</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Camp</strong>: Now I love me a campy movie, but this film is not campy,   it&#8217;s strong, powerful, dramatic, with some comedic moments. When they   took the comedy over the edge and added those cliched campy moments it   somewhat cheapened the rest of the film.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>This is most likely one of the better if not best action films you&#8217;ll  see this summer (I will see <em>Super 8</em> soon and see if I have to take this  back). It&#8217;s not completely perfect and loses<em> some</em> steam (though I&#8217;m getting picky with that) in the last act, but it has a   hell of a set up and ending, the acting in it would win awards if they   were in an emotional drama and not a summer blockbuster, and there is   plenty of razzle dazzle  to keep everyone entertained. There&#8217;s plenty  for both the boys and the  girls of all ages in the film &#8212; it&#8217;s really  an amazingly fun, accessible piece of cinema.</p>
<h2>Rating: 8/10</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-139734" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/x-men-first-class-movie-image-james-mcavoy-michael-fassbender-01.jpg" alt="x men first class movie image james mcavoy michael fassbender 01 New Footage in Russian X Men: First Class Trailer" width="570" height="380" title="New Footage in Russian X Men: First Class Trailer" /></p>
<p>After <em><strong>Wolverine</strong></em>, there was some hope that 20th Century Fox was going to steer their <em><strong>X-Men </strong></em>franchise into better hands when writer/director <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/matthew-vaughn/">Mathew Vaughn</a> took the helm for<a href="http://screencrave.com/project/x-men-first-class/"> <em><strong>X-Men: First Class</strong></em></a>. With a cast including <a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/michael-fassbender/">Michael Fassbender</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/james-mcavoy/">James McAvoy</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/january-jones/">January Jones</a>, and academy award nominee <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/jennifer-lawrence/">Jennifer Lawrence</a>, if nothing else, <em>First Class</em> seemed a step in the right direction. But then word leaked of late-in-the-game reshoots, and &#8211; for a film that&#8217;s due out in less than three months &#8211; there&#8217;s only recently been a teaser trailer and some <a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-03-09/horrible-character-posters-for-x-men-first-class/">posters </a>that were strictly amateur hour. The <a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-02-10/watch-this-x-men-first-class-movie-trailer/">first trailer</a> offered a long prologue and some quick cut footage, but now&#8217;s there&#8217;s a Russian trailer with even more footage, a different focus and absolutely no English dialogue. Take a look&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-139725"></span></p>
<p><img src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/plugins/flash-video-player/default_video_player.gif" title="New Footage in Russian X Men: First Class Trailer" alt="default video player New Footage in Russian X Men: First Class Trailer" /></p>
<p>Perhaps the Cuban Missile crisis was not a way to sell the film to the former Soviet Union. Such may explain why the focus of this trailer is slightly different, though it may also be that with a couple more weeks of finished footage after the first teaser, there&#8217;s just more to work with. And so here Fassbender&#8217;s Magneto gets more attention, and so does <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/nicholas-hoult/">Nicholas Hoult&#8217;s</a> Beast. Fassbender&#8217;s star and sex appeal has definitely gone up recently, so it&#8217;s not a bad idea to put him front and center.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to know what to make of this project still. Each new bit of footage suggests that this could be a pretty good movie, but with the film&#8217;s January reshoots (which were rumored to go on as long as six weeks &#8211; as long as some film&#8217;s shooting schedule) and those recent terrible posters, there&#8217;s no guarantee this will be any better than <em>Wolverine. </em></p>
<p><strong>Does this footage make you want to see <em>X-Men First Class</em>?</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-139230" src="http://screencrave.frsucrave.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/jane-eyre3-10-11.jpg" alt="jane eyre3 10 11 Jane Eyre: Movie Review" width="570" height="382" title="Jane Eyre: Movie Review" /></p>
<p>Director Cary Fukunaga attempts to punch up the romantic, period piece genre with his latest film <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/jane-eyre/"><strong><em>Jane Eyre</em></strong></a>. The drama is made with a bit of horror, not something you normally would equate with a Charlotte Brontë 19th century novel, but it definitely makes the film appealing to not only the romantic film-goers but to those looking for something more. Find out what gives Jane Eyre that air of sophistication and youth in our review below&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-139030"></span></p>
<h2>The Players:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Director</strong>: Cary Fukunaga (<a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-03-11/interview-cary-fukunaga/">read interview</a>)</li>
<li><strong>Writer</strong>: Charlotte Brontë (novel) and Moira Buffini (screenplay)</li>
<li><strong>Actors</strong>: <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/mia-wasikowska/">Mia Wasikowska</a> (<a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-03-14/interview-mia-wasikowska-takes-on-jane-eyre/">read interview</a>), <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/judi-dench/">Judi Dench</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/michael-fassbender/">Michael Fassbender</a>, <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/jamie-bell/">Jamie Bell,</a> Sally Hawkins, Holliday Grainger, Tamzin Merchant</li>
<li><strong>Original Music by</strong>: Dario Marianelli</li>
<li><strong>Cinematography by</strong>: Adriano Goldman</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Plot:</h2>
<p>Jane Eyre is the story about a young, mousy governess who was orphaned and scolded for having a mind of her own. From a young age she had to learn to fight and yet she treats those around her with kindness. Over time she softens the heart of her rather rude and acerbic employer who is hiding a terrible secret.</p>
<h2>The Good:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Judi Dench</strong>: Mia Wasikowska and Michael Fassbender are both amazing and hold together the story you&#8217;re going to the theater for, but it&#8217;s Judi Dench that steals just about every scene with her keen and subtle sense of humor. Truly they&#8217;re all delightful, but it&#8217;s hard to top a Dame.</li>
<li><strong>The Story</strong>: Even if you know the story of Jane Eyre you&#8217;ll find it difficult not to get caught up in the story and still find it emotionally involved enough to have to know what happens next.</li>
<li><strong>The Cinematography</strong>: Absolutely stunning! From the wide shots of the garden to the dimly lit night scenes that invoke the senses of what it&#8217;s like living in a dreary old castle with only a candle to guide you. You could almost smell the stone walls and feel the tension while Jane has to find her way through them.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Unsure:</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The Horror Aspect</strong>: This isn&#8217;t really a horror story and I feel like if they wanted to do the whole &#8220;horror- romance&#8221; thing they needed to do it even more. Not just moments of it, but have it weave more heavily into the tale. It did help the pace along and add another layer to it, I just wished that it tied in more to the end instead of being explained so easily and then dismissed. Also, it didn&#8217;t help that the fear was so closely associated with Jane, who for the most part was fearless &#8212; perhaps that&#8217;s the point, you&#8217;ll have to decide.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Bad:</h2>
<ul>
<li>Nope, nothing really worth mentioning here.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Overall:</h2>
<p>Though I didn&#8217;t love the film, it was an extremely interesting watch and definitely worth experiencing. It&#8217;s different from many other period pieces in tone and the style of filmmaking. It&#8217;s a relevant tale which, though old, promotes positive female images &#8212; I know I sound dull but that&#8217;s quite rare in modern cinema!</p>
<h2>Rating: 7.5</h2>
<p>See <em>Jane Eyre</em> (instead of<a href="http://screencrave.com/tag/red-riding-hood/"> <em>Red Riding Hood</em></a>) in theaters March 11th!</p>

<p>After seeing the international <a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-02-28/international-x-men-first-class-posters-charles-and-erik/">character posters </a>for 20th Century Fox&#8217;s<em> <a href="http://screencrave.com/project/x-men-first-class/"><strong>X-Men First Class</strong></a></em><a href="http://screencrave.com/project/x-men-first-class/"><strong>,</strong></a> we thought domestic audiences would be in for a treat. The one sheets featured Charles Xavier and Erik Lehnsherr before they became the legends Professor X and Magneto and they looked great! Yesterday evening, the studio decided to release the U.S. versions of the posters and to say they were unsatisfactory would be an understatement. Check them out and tell us what you think&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-138824"></span></p>
<p>The overall consensus on the net is that these are bad! The posters could have been created by a 5 year old with PhotoShop. It makes no sense for there to be this much negativity surrounding the promotion of a tentpole movie. Why did other countries get the good stuff and we got a cartoonish cut-and-paste job? Do you think we&#8217;re being too harsh?</p>

<p>The Magneto poster looks the worst out of the two. The shadow appears to be a cartoon. There&#8217;s no real definition or anything. Poor <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/Michael-Fassbender">Michael Fassbender</a> and <a href="http://screencrave.com/person/James-McAvoy">James McAvoy</a>. We&#8217;d be pissed if our faces were superimposed against such a cheesy backdrop.</p>
<p>Fox needs to recall these posters immediately because they&#8217;re not doing the film any favors.</p>
<p><strong>What do you think of the domestic poster for X-Men First Class? Are they really as bad as we think?</strong></p>

<p>Do you notice the reflections in the bottom of the posters? With Charles, there&#8217;s an image of future Professor X sitting in his famous wheelchair and bald. In the poster with Erik, there&#8217;s a reflecting image of Magneto draped in his cape and helmet. The same helmet that we&#8217;ve seen appear in the <a href="http://screencrave.com/2011-02-10/watch-this-x-men-first-class-movie-trailer/#more-134151">trailer</a> and other photos from the film.</p>
<p>Each poster begins with the tagline, &#8220;Before he was&#8230;&#8221; We&#8217;re really excited to see all the other members of the team. We&#8217;re not sure how they&#8217;d pull off this type of marketing with some of the other characters on the team i.e. Havok. It&#8217;s no secret that he&#8217;s a fill in for Cyclops in this movie.</p>
<p><em>X-Men First Class </em>is scheduled to hit theaters on June 3rd.</p>
