The hit musical Rock of Ages took many of the kitschy but lovably sincere rock anthems of the 1980′s and Broadway-ized them. So who better to head up the film adaptation than Adam Shankman, who gave Hairspray a similar stage-to-screen treatment? The film – which stars Julianne Hough, Tom Cruise, Alec Baldwin, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Paul Giamatti, Russell Brand and Malin Ackerman – hits theaters June 1, 2012, but now there’s a trailer. Check it out.

George Clooney is some kind of machine. He’s in two movies this year, including The Ides of March, which he also co-wrote, directed and produced. And like everything he’s directed it’s good, but falls short of greatness. Ryan Gosling stars as Stephens Myers, a wunderkind political analyst who’s one of the most important men behind Governor Morris (Clooney), but as the campaign comes it’s most contested primary, political and personal drama shows what these men are made of.

The Hangover gang’s all back for another round of waking up and having no idea how bad things got the night before.For The Hangover Part II, the challenge – as a comedy – is to find a compelling narrative to return to a similar well. Most comic sequels end up redressing the original premise in one way or another to do it again, here the invention is the new location. Can it match up to the original?

One of the lighter jewels to come out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival was Win Win. The film stars Paul Giamatti and centers on his relationship with a teenager who has “man-strength.” That description may sound strange but after watching the trailer, you’ll see what we mean. Check out the official trailer for Win Win below…

Well, Tom McCarthy’s film definitely lives up to its title. So far this is one of my favorite films at the fest. It’s fun, extremely well written and executed, brilliantly acted and leaves you with a smile on your face. Win Win is simple but not dumbed down. It’s the King of it’s class and had an entire audience of 1,000 laughing their heads off at 9am — that’s no easy feat! And they don’t even allow coffee in the cinema!

This week in theaters Barney’s Version hits the big screen with the new love of my life, Paul Giamatti. He’s one of those actors that can take any character and spin it into gold. Now give him a layered, drunken, asshole who is oddly charming and you got yourself a winner. Though this film is not without its problems, which may deter mainstream audiences, there is no denying Giamatti and his co-stars put in some fantastic work on this film…

This week in theaters prepare for Paul Giamatti and Rosamund Pike to blow you away in director Richard J. Lewis’ adaptation of the novel, Barney’s Version. Giamatti’s stellar performance as a fickle, drunkard with a chip on his shoulder is the main reason to see this film, but Rosamund Pike is not far behind. Though she’s not the typical actress you would cast to play as a subtle, 50-some-year-old (after all she is a 20 year-old, Bond babe) yet she doesn’t fail to impress and intrigue in every scenes she’s in.
The two had amazing chemistry on screen and off when we had a chance to sit down with them and find out more about what it took to make Barney’s Version…

The last time we checked, Todd Phillips‘ sequel The Hangover II was well into production, therefore imagine how surprised we were to discover that they’re still casting people. A few weeks ago, we learned that Liam Neeson would step in for a small cameo role, which made sense because he isn’t playing a substantial character, but now Paul Giamatti is joining the cast too. Is this a serious addition or another cameo?
