Trailer: ‘Martin Luther King Day’ fake movie

If you’ve seen “Valentine’s Day” and “New Year’s Eve” you’re familiar with the format. Every single celebrity in the world stars in a movie taking place on one of the most romantic days of the year. They hate their jobs and hate the fact that they’re single and lonely.

Such is the premise for “Martin Luther King Day”, except it’s not a real movie. It’s a spoof that will be features on an upcoming episode of “30 Rock”. Creator Tina Fey wanted to play up on all these ridiculously cheesy star-studded films that have come out this past year.

MLK Day is probably the least romantic holiday of the year (besides Ground Hog Day, of course) so watching Emma Stone and Andy Samberg whine about not having dates for the special day makes the other films look ludicrous.

As funny as this trailer may be, we should all be happy it’s not real.

What a night it was at the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards. Ricky Gervais was back to host the show but kept his crude jokes to a minimum this time. It was a big night for the cast and crew of the film “The Artist” and the t.v. show “Homeland”; both won big in their categories.

It was also a big night for these five leading ladies because their gowns have landed them on my top 5 best dressed list.

Would Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone Make a Good Couple?

The fabulous people at Buzzfeed have declared Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling the “perfect non-couple”.

The two actors have played opposite each other in the romantic comedy “Crazy Stupid Love” last year but have not made any crazy stupid love with one another. Emma’s been spotted canoodling with Spiderman’s Andrew Garfield and Ryan’s caught the attention of Eva Mendes.

Buzzfeed have posted photos of the two doing similar, ordinary things while apart from one another, proving that maybe they belong with each other and nobody else.

The people have spoken. These five female celebrities looked absolutely stunning at last night’s People’s Choice Awards in L.A.

Hundreds of television and movie stars as well as the hottest singers showed up to present awards. Katy Perry ended up winning the most awards in the music category but unfortunately she did not attend. It’s a shame, because I’m always excited to see what look Katy pulls off on the red carpet.

Here’s my pick for the top 5 best dressed women.

5. Kaley Cuoco

Emma Stone Impersonates Ryan Gosling

The bubbly redheaded actress Emma Stone has nothing but adoration for her “Crazy, Stupid Love” costar Ryan Gosling.

She was spotted in the Tribeca area of New York doing her best impersonation of the Canadian hunk.

After studying the two adorable photos, I’ve come to the conclusion that Ryan Gosling does it better. But I have to admit, Emma and Ryan would make a cute couple if it weren’t for her Spiderman beau, Andrew Garfield.

Who’s snarky face do you fancy most?

Emma Stone Spotted Hugging Andrew Garfield

Stars of the upcoming Spiderman movie, Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield, were seen hugging while she’s been in L.A. filming her next movie.

Some websites like Just Jarred are reporting these two are dating but neither of the two have come clean about it. It could appear they’re just really nice friends. Not everyone that hugs a member of the opposite sex is necessarily getting down and dirty with them. But, for the record, they do look cute together.

The two also spent some time together on Halloween. It’s great they’re keeping in touch since wrapping up the next Spiderman movie which is isn’t out until next July. Hopefully this friendship/romance isn’t one of those “publicity stunts” to amp up The Amazing Spider-Man, where they end up dumping each other after the movie’s on DVD.

Jim Carrey Clears Up Creepy Emma Stone Video

Jim Carrey took to Twitter to explain his creepy Emma Stone video.

In the video he said, “I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all the way beautiful. Not just pretty, but, you know, smart and kindhearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you, and we would have chubby little freckled faced kids.”

Carrey claims however it was all a joke.

“Yes, my msg to Emma Stone was a comedy routine and the funniest part is that everything i said is tru,” he tweeted, before continuing, “People often ask me if i’m being funny or serious. The answer is “YES”. ?;^]”

Well at least Jim isn’t a creepy old man.

Jim Carrey Video Is Hilarious

You need to give Jim Carrey credit. He publicly confesses his love to Emma Stone and readily admits she’s out of his league.

“I just wanted to let you know that I think you’re all-the-way beautiful,” the 49-year-old Canadian tells the 22-year-old “Easy A” actress. “Not just pretty, but smart and kind-hearted. And if I were a lot younger, I would marry you.”

And it goes on….

“We would have chubby little freckle-faced kids, we’d laugh all day long, go camping and play Yahtzee,” Carrey says. “Tell ghost stories by the fire.”

You can’t help but feel sympathy for the creepy/disturbing guy.

Zooey Deschanel in the Running for Spider-Man Reboot

Lauren Treihaft — Thu, 11 Nov 2010 21:21:15 +0000

Perezhilton.com reports that indie darling Zooey Deschanel may be in the running for a supporting role in Marc Webb’s Spider-Man reboot. Webb apparently approached Deschanel to play the role of Betty Brant, J.J. Jameson, the secretary at the Daily Bugle newspaper. The role was formerly played by Elizabeth Banks in the Sam Raimi films.

If the film doesn’t have buzz enough, certainly adding Deschanel to the cast would up the popularity of the film. Deschanel seems like a good fit for the role and for the movie in general. Webb has casted indie favorites Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield so another loved zany star would work perfectly in the mix. Plus Deschanel is one of the most loved actresses right now. She hasn’t done much since (500) Days of Summer, but that film did extremely well.

Let’s hope she takes the role!

Spider-Man ‘Reboot’ Villain Announced

Lauren Treihaft — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 14:10:29 +0000

Marc Webb, director of (500) Days of Summer, is currently in production on the “Reboot” of the Spider-Man series. The film stars Emma Stone (Superbad) as Gwen Stacy and Andrew Garfield (The Social Network) as Peter Parker. Since the beginning of the project rumors have been circling on who the villain might be. Could it be Venom? The Rhino? The Scorpian? TheWrap.com reports that the new villain will be The Lizard formerly played by Dylan Baker in the Sam Raimi Spider-man films.

Welsh Actor, Rhys Ifans (Hannibal Rising) will play The Lizard, also known as Dr. Curtis Connors. Connors was a scientist who lost his arm in the war and became obsessed with reptilian limb regeneration. After the war he began tests on animals to regenerate limbs and decided to test the formula on himself. In result he accidentally gave himself superhuman powers due to exposing himself to mutagenic chemicals.

It will be interesting to see another directors take on Spider-man. It seems that Webb may try to follow the comics more so than his predecessor, Raimi. The film will be in theaters in 3-D on July 3, 2012.

Movie Review: Zombieland

Eric Emin Wood — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 03:06:03 +0000

Posted on andPOP:

Here’s an old-fashioned crowd-pleaser; albeit, a crowd-pleaser with lots of blood spewing, limb-chewing, and bone breaking – but really, why would you see a movie called Zombieland if you didn’t want to see that?

Here’s a horror film that acknowledges how ridiculous it is by depicting a group of eight-year-old zombie girls before the opening credits; and a comedy that, by casting Jesse Eisenberg in the lead role, quickly establishes an enjoyably quirky tone, and maintains it by adding Abigail Breslin as a shotgun-toting 12-year-old and Woody Harrelson (in a terrific performance) as the movie’s resident badass.

Here’s a genre movie with a coherent plot – Breslin and Emma Stone, playing nervy sisters, push the thin but logical story along – and which pays attention to its characters, giving each of them solid backstories and respectable screentime. (My biggest complaint with Zombieland is that while the sisters are much stronger than typical damsels in distress, they nonetheless wind up being damsels in distress).

Here’s an action movie with an extended, glorious climax at an amusement park, with all the standbys (roller coaster, tilt-a-whirl, drop mechanism) used in exactly the way you’d expect; plus characters using really big guns, and firing them with a generous helping of one-liners.

Zombieland is that rare film which knowingly (rather that ignorantly) prefers to play into its conventions rather than create new ones, parading its influences on both the front and back of its blood-splattered t-shirt (in one scene a pair of characters actually sit down to watch Ghostbusters). What is wrong with that? When it’s done this well, nothing.

Horror comedy is a tough sell with audiences, and even the gold standard of this decade, Shaun of the Dead, barely raked in $13 million at the North American box office. However, I must confess I did not particularly like Shaun of the Dead. It was a great movie, but the “happy” (of sorts) ending was so dark I had forgotten what I was laughing at by the end.

I had no such problems with Zombieland. While it has few genuine scares, and much of it coasts on warm-hearted good humour rather than laugh-out-loud laughter, I can’t remember the last time I consistently heard an audience gasp, laugh, or clap at the same moments during a film.
What a wonderful year we’re having when I can say Zombieland is the best pop entertainment to hit theatres since District 9.
