I Am Link

.
--- Rock A Boy - Pretty, gay block-of-wood Colton Haynes just got cast alongside The Rock and Carla Gugino (hooray) in that giant 3D earthquake movie called San Andreas; I wonder if the fault line will crack him into little wooden shards? Anyway the film just started filming, and Dwayne Johnson tweeted out a picture of him being him on the set. Big Man!

--- Kid Napping - The trailer for Atom Egoyan's new movie called The Captive, which stars Ryan Reynolds (trying his hand at seriousness these days) and Scott Speedman and Rosario Dawson can be seen over at The Playlist; it will be showing at Cannes too. You've got to wonder if Prisoners might've stolen some of its momentum though; it feels very similar. But that's a good cast.

--- The Missing E - Everything about the movie Sx_Tape - from its silly title to its found-footage gimmick to its Paranormal Activity by way of porn poster to its very story (a couple films a sex tape inside a haunted mansion!) - screamed derivative Skinemax crap at me... so why do I care? Because its directed by Bernard effin' Rose, that's why - Rose directed Candyman yes but even more importantly he directed Paperhouse, the 1988 kid-scare flick that's amongst my all-time favorites. He has me for life. I will watch your sex tape movie.

--- Raising Hell - Saving this for lunch-time reading - the director of the interesting horror flick Proxy, which I reviewed a few months ago and is out on demand now, got interviewed by the New York Times (thanks Mac), which seems to me a pretty big deal for a dude who made a low-budget horror-flick, so a round of applause for him.

--- Doling Out - The Playlist has another picture from Xavier Dolan's next movie which is called Mommy, and which will be showing at Cannes. That's Antoine-Olivier Pilon as the troubled son at the center of the film's drama. Speaking of Cannes though, the entire list of what's playing there was just released, see that here. They're showing the long delayed Ruffalo-Tatum jockstrap movie!

--- Drive By Fruiting - My first thought when I read the news that there is going to be a Mrs. Doubtfire sequel was, "What will Mara Wilson say?" She played the little girl in that movie and she's established somewhat of an online presence via Twitter lately; I saw her at a show talking about it a couple of years ago and she is a smart lady. Anyway she does indeed have things to say!

--- Wet All Over - It's April which means Nathaniel's been running his "April Showers" series over at The Film Experience which means sexytimes because he always picks good showers scenes... like last night he devoted a post to the scene with Bruce Willis in the shower in Pulp Fiction, which besides just for giving us naked Bruce Willis is also the best scene in the whole movie for many other reasons. (But then I've never been the world's biggest Pulp fan; it took Jackie Brown to get me on board with Tarantino.)

--- Also Thanks to Nat for reminding me of this interview with Anthony Mackie from a couple of weeks ago where he goes on and on about Chris Evans' tight little ass, I somehow forgot to post that. That's the sort of thing you don't want to forget! NEVER FORGET.

OMG I'm so grateful to live in the times when these superhero films are so successful again.

All these hunks in tight costumes and Chris is one of the best <3
