'Wrath Of The Titans': Five More Hair Styles For Sam Worthington

Posted 3/29/12 1:21 pm EST by in Commentary, Humor


When the trailer for "Wrath of the Titans" dropped, it seemed like everyone couldn't help but comment on Sam Worthington's hair, of all things. In the ten years that passed between the events of "Clash of the Titans" and "Wrath," Perseus must have been looking for something new in the hair department and decided to just grow it out.

We asked Worthington about the big to-do about his hair, and he didn't quite understand. But he did go on to success some hairstyle he could have for any future "Titans" movies.

We have a few recommendations of our own, so here are some styles that Perseus should consider for the next time around.

Bond girls. James Bond girls. Thanks to the newest videoblogs posted on 007.com and MSN UK, we now have an official first look at Bond's latest femme fatales. Bérénice Marlohe, who plays Severine, and Naomie Harris, who plays Eve, will both be playing deadly women with looks that kill, following the tradition of Bond girls from movies past.

"Skyfall" shows Bond’s faith in M being tested as her mysterious past comes back to haunt her. With MI6 under attack, it’s up to Bond to once again seek out the threat and destroy it no matter how personally invested he is in the matter. Marlohe and Harris will be joining the already star-studded cast of "Skyfall," acting alongside heavy hitters such as Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Dame Judi Dench, and Ralph Fiennes.

Jennifer Lawrence Has Things Backwards In 'House At The End Of The Street' Trailer

Posted 3/29/12 8:00 am EST by in Trailers, Video


Before Jennifer Lawrence headed off to Panem to become Katniss Everdeen and rule the box office, she made a relatively small thriller called "House at the End of the Street." From the looks of the trailer, she probably wished she'd taken up the bow and arrow earlier.

In the exclusive trailer, we're introduced to the events of the movie in reverse order. First, we see Lawrence's character Elissa tormented by unseen forces, but with each step backward, we get a better picture of what the hell is going on in the house at the end of the street.

Eventually, we learn that Elissa and her mother, played by Elisabeth "Adventures in Babysitting" Shue, have just rented a house, presumably somewhere near the end of a street, but not quite there. Elissa's mom informs her that the reason their rental is so cheap is that a double murder took place nearby. "Where?" you might ask. We're getting to that.

Skyrockets in flight! "Anchorman" delight!

That's right — after years and years and oh so many painful years of waiting, the news team is finally ready to assemble again. Paramount Pictures and Will Ferrell have announced that "Anchorman 2" is officially happening, with most of the film's principal cast expected to come back for another round.

That means Ferrell, Steve Carell and Paul Rudd, easily the three biggest stars from the film, are all set to reprise their roles as jazz flute extraordinaire Ron Burgundy, dumb-as-a-brick Brick Tamland, and veritable sex panther Brian Fantana. Original director Adam McKay will once again step behind the lens, as well as co-write alongside Ferrell.

War Of The Five Kings: Balon Greyjoy

Posted 3/28/12 4:27 pm EST by in Game of Thrones, TV


Not all of the would-be kings of "Game of Thrones" season two are familiar faces. We love to hate Joffrey, and we love to love Robb, but there are other players in the mix who are simply too new to get an immediate read on. In our third day examining the War of the Five Kings, we're looking at one of the new characters vying for the Iron Throne...

Balon Greyjoy

Know Your King
"What's dead may never die." So speak the worshipers of the Drowned God of the Iron Islands. This area of Westeros is ruled by the cold and calculated Balon Greyjoy, yet another of the key players eyeballing a crown in season two of "Game of Thrones." Unlike his competition, however, Balon's a veteran when it comes to playing this particular game.

In an age where social media sites rule the internet, the stars have flocked to Twitter in order to promote their latest projects, raise awareness about charities they support and interact with their fans. But some celebrities aren't using the site to its fullest potential.

MTV News' Josh Horowitz thinks Gael Garcia Bernal is one of them. The "Casa de mi Padre" star is about 83,000 followers shy of one million.

'Hunger Games' Is No 'Star Wars,' And That's Okay

Posted 3/28/12 2:44 pm EST by in Commentary


It seems like every time I go online I see another news article or blog comparing “The Hunger Games” to “Star Wars.” I get it: they both made a lot of money and they both have trilogies. But that’s all the similarity I see. Don’t get me wrong, I like “The Hunger Games.” I’ve read all the books and I liked the movie, a lot. But Suzanne Collins is no George Lucas, and “The Hunger Games” is no “Star Wars.” And that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Here are just a few of the many ways “The Hunger Games” differs from “Star Wars”:

1. We all know that “Star Wars” takes place “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.” Collins’ story happens in the future, but right here at home – a North America that somewhere along the way is renamed Panem.

'Wrath Of The Titans' Star Ralph Fiennes' Five Greatest Villain Roles

Posted 3/28/12 1:57 pm EST by in Commentary, Interviews


by Ryan Rigley

"Evil is cumulative. It happens." Ralph Fiennes is, without a doubt, a man who knows his way around evil. Playing a number of villain roles throughout his ever expanding acting career, Fiennes has seemingly become the go to guy when it comes to dastardly doings and depravity. It's no wonder that the English theater and film actor will be reprising his role of Hades, Lord of the Underworld, in the upcoming "Clash of the Titans" sequel.

"Wrath of the Titans" once again shows Hades playing a very important, antagonistic part of the story. After making a deal with Kronos, his father, Hades kidnaps Zeus and holds him prisoner in the Underworld, draining him of his godly powers and transferring them to the almighty Titans back on Earth. It's up to Perseus, Sam Worthington, to rescue Zeus and stop the Titans once and for all.

Being Lord of the Underworld is no easy task, but at this point, Ralph Fiennes has that evil mindset down to a science. Here's a look at some of Mr. Fiennes' most evil movie roles.

'Jersey Shore's Vinny Guadagnino Stands Up Against Bullying In PSA

Posted 3/28/12 1:35 pm EST by in Video


As part of a new campaign working in unison with the release of the new documentary, "Bully," Vinny Guadagino from "Jersey Shore" spoke out in a new public service announcement against kids mistreating kids.

According to the video, over 13 million American kids will be bullied this year. Those kids who get picked on will be absent from school three million times, out of fear of more bullying and the feeling that school is no longer a safe place for them.

The PSA, created by a partnership between GLAAD and The Weinstein Company, is part of a larger movement known as The Bully Project, a campaign to spread awareness about bullying and to give people opportunities to add their name in support.
