Earlier today, We Got This Covered had the privilege of joining director Marc Webb for a special presentation of The Amazing-Spider Man 2. Screened for us was a wealth of footage that rocked a ton of bold characters, visuals and action set pieces, but the stand out feature of each and every scene that was screened was that, simply put, it was loads of fun to watch. There was depth and tension, but Webb also held tight to lighter moments and the thrill of seeing such vibrant battles taking place in the heart of New York City.
Bad Words is highly entertaining, but it’s often hard to enjoy because the tone makes it so difficult to separate reality from fiction. There’s still loads of fun to be had; you just have to make an effort to push your morals aside to access it.
Mark Waters knows a thing or two about bringing mean girls to screen, so it should come as no surprise that his latest feature, Vampire Academy, has a queen bee bully with some serious bite (no pun intended).
One year after winning a Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival, Ryan Coogler’s Fruitvale Station is aiming to make a mark on awards season. The film scored loads of accolades throughout its festival run, received a number of critics association honors, two Independent Spirit Awards nominations and more, so even though it’s considered an underdog amongst heavy hitters like Gravity, American Hustle and 12 Years a Slave, Fruitvale Station has certainly earned its place in the mix.
Michael B. Jordan seems to be the talk of the town these days. After a stunning breakout performance in Fruitvale Station, the relative newcomer is all of the sudden being linked to some of Tinseltown's most high-profile projects. Star Wars: Episode VII, ID Forever Part I and Fantastic Four are just three of the many films that the young actor is rumored to be circling. Despite the fact that we have no official studio confirmation on any of this, there's no denying that Michael B. Jordan is a star on the rise and that everyone wants a piece of him.
Most actors have to work their way up. Willow Shields, on the other hand, kicked off her career off at the top. She snagged the coveted role of Primrose Everdeen, Katniss’ little sister, back in April of 2011 and it’s been non-stop prepping, filming and promoting ever since. All the hard work paid off when The Hunger Games scored $152.5 million opening week in March 2012 and now even more so as the sequel, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, just kicked off its run with a record-breaking $161.1 million.
While in New York City promoting Charlie Countryman’s November 15th limited release, we had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Evan Rachel Wood about finally getting the chance to collaborate with LaBeouf, his choice to drop acid for one of the scenes in the film, her experience shooting in Bucharest and more. Wood also touched on two new projects she just added to her to do list – Into the Forest and 10 Things I Hate About Life.
What’s more thrilling than a trip to Las Vegas with a group of friends when you’re in your 20s? A trip to Vegas in your 60s with lifelong friends, of course. Then again, it could also be a trip to Vegas in your teens while working on a movie.
Rather than going straight for the laughs and only the laughs, Ghost Team One delivers two well developed, likable characters that turn the film into an effective narrative capable of sustaining the best and worst of its comedic repertoire.
Haunter is a step down for director Vincenzo Natali, but yet another step up for Abigail Breslin, who continues to prove herself as a leading lady, commanding attention with such force that you might just be able to look past the underdeveloped narrative and laughably over-the-top supporting performances.
