Based on crime writer Michael Connelly’s novel of the same name, the film stars McConaughey as Mickey Haller, a morally ambiguous barrister driven around Los Angeles in a Lincoln Town Car by a former client working of his legal fees.
As luck would have it, he lands for a client the wealthy real estate developer Louis Ross Roulet (Ryan Phillippe), who’s been accused of attacking a beautiful young woman.
If you live in the Portland, Oregon area – you can see an advance screening of ‘Burlesque’ tonight!! (If you want to brave the weather, of course!)
Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club’s proprietor and headliner. Burlesque’s outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.
Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (Julianne Hough), finds an enemy in a troubled, jealous performer (Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (Cam Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (Eric Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal.

The first trailer has finally arrived for “Cowboys & Aliens,” Jon Favreau’s adaptation of the Platinum Studios comic of the same name (and really, why would you change that name), offering mainstream audiences a peek at some of the footage that wowed attendees at San Diego Comic-Con.
Featuring an all-star cast that includes Daniel Craig, Olivia Wilde, and Harrison Ford, the film follows a mysterious stranger who arrives in town with no memory of his past or the weird shackle on his wrist. When aliens attack the town, he discovers that he might hold the key to fighting them off — but only if he can get everyone inside the town (and outside) to work together.
I love Jon Favreau! I’m a huge fan of his movies. Check the trailer below – let me know what you think!
Man, today is trailer day! In case you missed it – here are two other trailers worth watching!
It’s a good day to be Ryan Reynolds. Mr. Scarlett Johansson was just named the Sexiest Man Alive by PEOPLE on the day when the trailer for his ‘Green Lantern’ hits the Web. At long last, fans can a glimpse Reynolds donning the famous green suit.
The trailer also reveals a bit more of the plot, which finds Hal Jordan (Reynolds) learning new powers and overcoming his fears to protect the Green Lantern Corp. from its new enemy, Parallax. Even more, we get our first official look at Blake Lively, who plays fellow test pilot and love interest Carol Ferris, and Peter Sarsgaard, as the villainous Hector Hammond.
Little Red Riding Hood has been redone, this time by Catherine Hardwick, who directed the first Twilight movie. This trailer looks like Twilight, I guess Catherine figures why mess with a good thing?
Red Riding Hood is either going to be good (doubt it) or really, really suck (kind of think so). I love Amanda Seyfried, but I can’t really trust her movie choices (think Jennifer’s Body and Letters to Juliet).
This isn’t the Red Riding Hood of my childhood. For one thing, she wasn’t blonde, beautiful and grown up, she was a little girl. And there was a wolf – not a werewolf. It’s got the same basic formula as Twilight from what I can see, so maybe it won’t be so bad?
Red Riding Hood will be released in March.
In 140 AD, two men – master and slave – venture beyond the edge of the known world on a dangerous and obsessive quest that will push them beyond the boundaries of loyalty and betrayal, friendship and hatred, deceit and heroism… The Roman epic adventure The Eagle stars Channing Tatum and Jamie Bell and is directed by Academy Award winner Kevin Macdonald.
20 years earlier, Rome’s 5,000-strong Ninth Legion, under the command of Flavius Aquila, marched north carrying their treasured golden Eagle emblem. They never returned; Legion and Eagle simply vanished into the mists. Hearing a rumor that the Eagle has been seen in a tribal temple in the far north, Flavius’ son Marcus (Tatum), determined to restore the tarnished reputation of his father, is galvanized into action. Accompanied only by his slave Esca (Bell), Marcus sets out into the vast and dangerous highlands of Scotland – to confront its savage tribes, make peace with his father’s memory, and retrieve the hallowed Eagle. Along the way Marcus realizes that the mystery of his father’s disappearance may well be linked to the secret of his own slave’s identity and loyalty – a secret all the more pressing when the two come face-to-face with the warriors of the fearsome Seal Prince (Tahar Rahim).
Is this the same movie as the trailer I posted yesterday for ‘Friends With Benefits’? It sure looks the same! Sex with friends is hot right now, I guess.
I loooooove Natalie Portman, and she looks so cute in this movie. “You fight like a hamster!” LOL!
Could this be the first movie that stars Ashton Kutcher that I might actually like? I think he’s a good actor – but hot damn, the boy makes terrible movies! I think this one actually looks more promising than the Timberlake/Kunis version.
