Channing Tatum

And Now For Something Completely Different

We Thought You Should Know There Might be a Guys and Dolls Movie With Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon Levitt

by Susana Polo | 2:02 pm, April 25th, 2013

We’ll freely admit that this isn’t really in our purview, as a geeky blog, aside, perhaps, from the tenuous argument that could be made that folks who are super into “musicals” to be pretty geeky in their own ways. But if there’s something that stops all three editors cold as our brain short circuit and we can only whisper “yes. perfect.” at our computer screens because if we talk any louder we might scare the perfect thing away, it probably deserves a post.

Like, for example, a Guys and Dolls movie with Channing Tatum and Joseph Gordon Levitt in roles made famous by Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra.

Monday Cute/Awesome/Attitude Role Model: Quvenzhané Wallis on the Red Carpet

by Susana Polo | 9:33 am, February 25th, 2013

Not shown: the reporter who decided to call her “Annie” (her next film role) rather than learn how to pronounce her name beforehand, and got yelled at by a nine-year-old. True story. But it wasn’t just about meeting reporters for Wallis. It seems like she made quite a few new friends at the Oscars:

But see it we will and it will be the relaunched 21 Jump Street directors who will bring the minifigs to life. No, this set did not come with directions.

Want to Find Out the Real Reason G.I. Joe: Retaliation Is Being Delayed?

by Jamie Frevele | 4:20 pm, May 30th, 2012

You may have heard that G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which was set to premiere a little over a month from now on June 29, was suddenly pushed back to March 29, 2013. Even after Paramount had already started advertising it, and not subtly. As in, there were commercials on TV, during the Super Bowl, and posters outdoors, and Hasbro already had the toys on the shelves. Paramount’s stated reason? They were going to add 3D effects to it. But the real reason? Well, imagine you have this party to attend, but you had a huge zit on your chin, and you popped it, and it’s a big hot mess. Now, imagine that zit is Channing Tatum, and the party is G.I. Joe: Retaliation.

Gina Carano Kicked A Lot of Butts For Haywire

by Susana Polo | 2:49 pm, January 26th, 2012

Despite favorable reviews, the homage to 70′s spy films peppered with more modern, brutal fight sequences Haywire hasn’t exactly been raking in the box office funds. I admit myself to being skeptical of it at first: the fact that the trailers reveal no female characters other than Gina Carano‘s Mallory made it seem a bit “we stuck a lady in!” gimmicky instead of an general on putting women in well-rounded roles (whether the hero or not) in action movies. Now, I’m usually in favor of such kinds of gimmickry when it comes from the right motivation, and director Steven Soderbergh maintains that it does. His whole motivation for Haywire was the question “Why are we only making starring female action heroes if Angelina Jolie is involved?”
