For A Good Time, Call… stars ‘seen ‘em somewhere’ actresses Lauren Miller (wife of Seth Rogen) and Ari Graynor (Fringe, The Sopranos, Whip It) as Lauren and Katie, two twenty-something girls trying to make it in NYC.

After a short span of tense co-habitation, Lauren discovers that her free-spirited roommate has a… unique occupation as a phone-sex operator.

For mainstream movie fans The Possession producer, Sam Raimi, is best known for helming Toby Maguire’s blockbuster Spider-Man trilogy but, for horror movie lovers, the filmmaker is also responsible for directing fan-favorites like Army of Darkness, the Evil Dead films, and most recently Drag Me to Hell. While the in-demand director can’t personally oversee every scary movie project that crosses his desk, he’s assisted in bringing several other fan-favorite horror properties to the big screen – producing the American Grudge series as well as the upcoming Poltergeist remake.

Has Bornedal, who is mostly unknown to American audiences, managed to ...

Alex Cross and Jack Reacher are character-anchored action franchise titles due out later this year; both have generated controversy, as a result of unpopular casting – namely, Tyler Perry as Cross and Tom Cruise as Reacher. Both headlining stars have loyal followings, but the jury’s still out as to whether or not they work on their own terms (much less, as unconventional interpretations of those characters).
Today, we get a (very) small taste of what to expect from Chris Pine in a similar upcoming title, Jack Ryan – a reboot of the Tom Clancy franchise. Meanwhile, new pics have emerged from Skyfall, with Daniel Craig returning a third time as James Bond; however, we may be getting a more traditional 007 this time, as opposed to previous Craig films (Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace).
Kenneth Branagh (Thor) only recently began filming on Jack Ryan, but ...
