The trailer for Diablo Cody’s directorial debut, Paradise, hit the internet recently and it looks unexpectedly… bland. After bursting onto the scene with the screenplay for Juno in 2007, Cody has produced interesting work, including her scripts for Jennifer’s Body and Young Adult, to her great TV series with Toni Collette, The United States Of […]

Rock of Ages – Starring Julianne Hough, Diego Boneta, and Tom Cruise. Directed by Adam Shankman. Rated M. By Jess Lomas.

Warning sexy teenagers! Dancing kills! So says the trailer for Craig Brewer’s Footloose. A remake of the 1984 film of the same name, it stars Kenny Wormald and Julianne Hough as kids that love to dance … even if it could cost them … their lives. Or something. You know what this is. Hey, it […]
