'Chuck' Episode 3.05: 'Chuck Versus First Class' Recap

Posted 1/25/10 10:25 pm EST by in Commentary, Reviews, TV


Title: "Chuck Versus First Class"

Story: Chuck gets his first solo assignment! The arrival of Special Agent Shaw (Brandon Routh) has stirred up some controversy among the ranks of Team Bartowski. Shaw thinks his Intersect 2.0-bearing asset will never evolve into a proper spy until he gets out on his own. Agents Walker and Casey disagree, but Shaw has them outranked and he makes it official: Chuck's going on his first solo mission. What starts as a trip to Paris turns into a nightmare confrontation with Ring agents (including Stone Cold Steve Austin, as Hugo Panzer) aboard an airplane. Balancing out the terror is a new lady wrinkle in Chuck's life: lovely newcomer Hannah (Kristin Kreuk). Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: 'Cyrus' Actress Marisa Tomei Goes From Movie Star To Business Entrepreneur With... Hula-Hoops?

Posted 1/25/10 8:11 pm EST by in News, Sundance 2010, Video


Of Marisa Tomei's many fine qualities, one of her finest is versatility, as demonstrated in her performances as the abrasive Mona Lisa in "My Cousin Vinny," the down-on-her-luck stripper Cassidy in "The Wrestler," her latest role as Molly in "Cyrus" and her new career as... a hula-hoop manufacturer?

At the Sundance Film Festival, Tomei revealed to MTV News that she's gotten into the hula-hoop business in addition to her continued acting career. And she's determined to take this all the way.

"I kind of got into this whole hula-hoop craze," she confessed. "That happened during the time of the 'The Wrestler' so now I find myself doing hula-hoop things I didn't really think I was going to be doing!" Read More...

MTV Crashes A Sundance Celebrity Swag Suite, And We've Returned With Photos

Posted 1/25/10 7:23 pm EST by in Photos, Sundance 2010


FROM HOLLYWOOD CRUSH: Ben Affleck said it best when we spoke to the star a couple of days ago and Josh Horowitz asked him to sum up Sundance so far: "Weirdly, it's snow, movies and giveaway lounges … I don't know why that happened."

The Sundance swag suites are everywhere, and showcase a vast array of products. However, this aspect of Sundance is only reality to a select few, and most festival-goers are probably not even aware that Sundance is a mecca of free stuff for celebs. The festival is, after all, first and foremost about the films. Since access to these suites is restricted, we're here to give a taste of what else is happening in Park City besides movie screenings and premieres.

Orlando Bloom Would Be Willing To Return As Legolas In 'The Hobbit'

Posted 1/25/10 5:57 pm EST by in News, Sundance 2010, Video


While Frodo Baggins' quest to throw the One Ring into the fiery depths of Mount Doom concluded in the final "Lord of the Rings" installment, there's still plenty of Middle-Earth adventure left to be had in "The Hobbit" — just don't expect to see too many familiar faces when Guillermo del Toro takes the director's chair from producer Peter Jackson for the prequel films.

Still, that's not stopping some of the old "Rings" castmembers from throwing their names into the, uh, ring. At the Sundance Film Festival, Orlando Bloom — who played the Elven archer Legolas in the critically acclaimed trilogy — said that he has reached out to Jackson about possibly returning for "The Hobbit."

The New Orleans Saints, 'Sweet Valley High' And 'Pee-wee's Playhouse' In Today's Twitter-Wood

Posted 1/25/10 4:30 pm EST by in Twitter-Wood


The New Orleans Saints' win over the Minnesota Vikings last night landed them a trip to Miami for the Super Bowl, but it also summoned an avalanche of opinions in Twitter-Wood. I sifted through some of the best, including a dream premonition from Jessica Simpson an after-game shot from the stands courtesy of Reggie Bush's significant other Kim Kardashian.

Outside of the stadium, movies business has been brewing all over the place, with Diablo Cody kicking her "Sweet Valley High" script-writing into gear and Rainn Wilson wrapping work on "Super." Just click on past the jump, and you can read those for yourself along with the reason Peter Serafinowicz says he was fated to voice Paul in "Yellow Submarine" and Shannon Elizabeth's view at the live-action "Pee-wee's Playhouse" production. It's all in Twitter-Wood for January 25, 2010. Read More...

Quentin Tarantino Will Reportedly Go Medieval On Helen Mirren

Posted 1/25/10 4:00 pm EST by in News


Calm down. Don't read into that headline too much. The news is actually much tamer than the reference to a classic "Pulp Fiction" quote would have you believe.

Oscar winner Helen Mirren has been approached by "Inlgourious Basterds" director Quentin Tarantino to play a role in his next movie. That's the word from UK tabloid The Sun (via DigitalSpy) who, to be fair, don't have the best track record with these sorts of rumors.

The anonymous source told The Sun that this Tarantino project "will feature his trademarks - bloody violence and foul language," and will be set during England's Middle Ages. The source goes on to say that "Helen has never worked with Tarantino and is interested. If the film goes into production it's likely she will play a part." Not exactly confirmation, but a tantalizing possibility for Tarantino fans. Read More...

LOST IN NUMBERS: Four Things To Remember From The Season Five Finale

Posted 1/25/10 4:00 pm EST by in Commentary, TV


DESCTime travel. Hydrogen bombs. Sudden deaths. Shape-shifting imposters. These were just a few of the shocking developments that took place over the course of the fifth season of "Lost," which aired its finale in May of 2009.

With any luck, the final season of "Lost," set for a two-hour debut on February 2, 2010 starting at 9:00 PM EST, will address these points and much more. But going into the season premiere ("LA X"), there are a few essential elements from the most recently aired episode that can't be forgotten.

After the jump, we've got the rundown on four important facets of season five's finale to remember as the final season's premiere awaits. Stay tuned to MTV for the rest of this week and into the season premiere, as we'll be running a series of features pegged directly to the show's trademark number sequence: 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42. Needless to say, spoilers for season five and earlier lie ahead. Read More...

EXCLUSIVE: 'Gremlins' Director Joe Dante 'Doesn't Know Of Anything Officially' Going On With 'Gremlins 3'

Posted 1/25/10 3:30 pm EST by in News


The Internet has been buzzing today with rumors that a third "Gremlins" movie is in the works, and that it will hit theaters as a 3-D release. The word comes from MarketSaw via an anonymous tipster. It's fair to point out that they do not always have the best track record with these sorts of unsourced stories. Still, "Gremlins" and its sequel, "Gremlins 2: The New Batch," are among my all-time favorite movies, so I'm understandably intrigued by the possibility of seeing the creative new ways our rascally gremlins find to break the three golden rules of Mogwai care: (1) no bright light, (2) no getting wet and (3) no eating after midnight.

I figure that there's no better person to ask about the possibility of more "Gremlins" than director Joe Dante, who helmed the originals. So I reached out for comment and, to my utter lack of surprise, he hasn't heard anything. "These things come up from time to time," he said. "I don't know of anything officially that's going on."

Adrien Grenier Calls 'Teenage Paparazzo' Doc A 'Sequel' To His Celebrity Training On 'Entourage'

Posted 1/25/10 3:00 pm EST by in Sundance 2010


You all know HBO's "Entourage," right? A great half-hour series starring Adrien Grenier as movie superstar Vinnie Chase. The story tracks Vinnie's personal life, the day-to-day grind for himself and his faithful entourage. Grenier is currently in Park City, UT for Sundance, where he's promoting "Teenage Paparazzo," a documentary about the actor's attempts to educate a 13-year-old aspiring celeb stalker on the realities of movie star life. Speaking with MTV at the festival, the actor revealed just how important his experiences on "Entourage" have been in shaping "Teenage Paparazzo."

"To me it was a logical progression," he said. "I spent six years in training as a celebrity on 'Entourage' playing Vince, portraying the celebrity lifestyle." There's something entertainingly meta about the idea of Grenier, who arguably achieved the bulk of his celebrity by way of that HBO series, exploring his celeb status by interacting with a would-be paparazzo.
