Everybody Keeps Taking Liam Neeson's Sh*t in New 'Taken 3' Video and Clip

Given how grim and serious the Taken movies tend to be it's good that Liam Neeson and 20th Century Fox are having some fun with the "finale", Taken 3. They already released the "12 Kills of Christmas' promo over the holidays, and now they're at it again with a silly little music video titled "Stop Taking My Shit". It's basically another chance to show Neeson beating up folks, but it starts off with people actually stealing Neeson's stuff right out from under him until he gets pissed.

That's followed by a brand new clip courtesy of Joblo that shows just how easily ex-Black Ops dude Bryan Mills (Neeson) can get off the grid after being framed for murder. Just one call, a couple of loaded guns, some angry music, and he's done.

Directed by Olivier Megaton and co-starring Forest Whitaker, Maggie Grace, and Famke Janssen, Taken 3 opens January 9th.

'Minions' Find Peace, Love, and Overalls in New Clip

Universal has found a smash with their Despicable Me movies, the two combining for over $1.5B at the box office. That's not bad, but they have the potential to do even better with Minions, a spinoff following Gru's silly little sidekicks. They're pretty much everywhere now, and in this new clip from Minions we see how they first came to America, in 1960s New York City no less.

Featuring the voices of Sandra Bullock, Jon Hamm, and Michael Keaton, the film basically tells the origin of how the Minions came to serve the first female supervillain, Scarlet Overkill. Along the way, Kevin, Bob, and Stuart will  encounter the peace and love anti-war movement of 1968, and fall in love with overalls as their go-to fashion choice.

Minions hits theaters in 3D on July 10th 2015.

Liam Neeson Celebrates the 12 Skills of Christmas in New 'Taken 3' Promo

If there is a Taken 4 it should involve Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) deciding to stay on his couch and watch TV because every time he leaves the house someone gets kidnapped, he gets kidnapped, or some criminal plots revenge. Having that much drama must make it hard to celebrate the holidays, or at least it would if he didn't have a particular set of skills to command.

20th Century Fox's latest promo for Taken 3 is a bit awkward, showing off Mills' "12 Skills of Christmas" to the tune of "12 Days of Christmas". Eh. I guess this is something the marketing department thought would be clever for the holiday but it's just kind of silly. Better is a clip that features co-star Forest Whittaker as a CIA agent tracking Mills down over a crime he didn't commit.

Also starring Maggie Grace and Famke Janssen with Olivier Megaton as director, Taken 3 opens January 9th.

New Clip from 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' featuring CGI-Less Philip Seymour Hoffman

After the sudden, tragic passing of Philip Seymour Hoffman earlier this year there was some question surrounding his last major role, which was in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay two-part finale. We knew he hadn't quite wrapped up his part as Plutarch Heavensbee, and there had been some inklings that CGI could be used to fill in the gaps, a process which has a sketchy track record. Well, Francis Lawrence has now come out and said he decided that wasn't such a good idea. He tells HuffPo...

"He had two scenes with dialogue that were left and we decided we didn't want to try any digital trickery with him, so we rewrote his scenes and gave the dialogue to other actors. So there was one scene from Part 1 and one scene from Part 2."

Probably the wisest course of action. Meanwhile, a new clip has emerged that just happens to include Hoffman along with co-stars Julianne Moore, Woody Harrelson, Elizabeth Banks, and Jennifer Lawrence. In this scene, we see Haymitch and the rebel brain trust discussing how to make Katniss more likeable to the public. Surprisingly, the strongest voice in her defense is Effie Trinkett, who has been genuinely moved by Katniss' self-sacrificing ways.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 1 opens Nov. 21st.

Jude Law Talks Nazi Gold in First Clip from 'Black Sea'

Jude Law will be hunting down Hitler's stash of gold in Black Sea, the new film from The Last King of Scotland director, Kevin MacDonald. The submarine thriller had looked like a potential Oscar season candidate but it will instead open in a couple of months, putting it in straight-up genre territory which is probably where it belongs. The film stars Law as a ship captain who puts together a motley crew to find sunken treasure, only to face mutiny from the men he hired.

The first clip from the film has been released and it has Law's ship captain explaining why their mission to find the gold isn't a waste of everybody's time. It also shows the first signs of unrest in the crew, a turmoil that is bound to boil over at some point.

Black Sea opens January 23rd 2015.

New 'Mockingjay' Clip and Poster as Cast Crashes Woody Harrelson's SNL Appearance

In just a few short days, fans will finally have their chance to see the war against the Capital take shape in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 1, but before all of that happens the marketing campaign is being kicked up another notch. It's been pretty hard to avoid Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, and Liam Hemsworth for the last couple of weeks, which is fine because they genuinely seem to have fun when together, especially when it comes at the expense of someone else in the cast.

Woody Harrelson, who Katniss' mentor Haymitch in the films, hosted SNL last night and his opening monologue about the year 1989 was interrupted by Lawrence, Hutcherson, and Hemsworth. Also, we get to see the trio together again in the latest clip, which shows a beef brewing between Katniss and Gale over Peeta's fate. That's accompanied by a stylish new poster, featuring Katniss in what looks like a piece of rebellion propaganda.

So lots of stuff to take in here. The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 opens November 21st!

Jessica Chastain Demands Respect from David Oyelowo in Clip from 'A Most Violent Year'

If there's one film that has all of the ingredients to be a powerhouse this season it's A Most Violent Year. Directed by JC Chandor (All is Lost, Margin Call), with a cast that includes Jessica Chastain, Oscar Isaac, and David Oyelowo, no film comes with quite the same level of pedigree behind it. The trailers we've seen so far have been blazing hot fire, and now the first clip has arrived that turns the heat it up even more.

Set in 1981 New York, the most violent year in the city's record, the story follows immigrant businessman Abel (Isaac) and his wife Anna (Chastain), as they try to expand their business while surrounded by corruption. In this scene we see Anna, who happens to be the daughter of a mob boss, making a not-so-subtle demand of respect from Oyelowo's character. In less than a minute we've got the lay of the land completely, and it's clear Anna is not someone to be trifled with.

A Most Violent Year gets an Oscar qualifying run on December 31 before expanding in January.

Katniss meets Cressida in New 'The Hunger Games: Mockingjay' Clip

One of the many reasons The Hunger Games has stayed ahead of the game the last couple of years is the amount of talent that keeps signing on to the franchise. While the cast was top notch right from the beginning, adding names like Jeffrey Wright, Julianne Moore, and Philip Seymour Hoffman were a major coup, and one of the most exciting new additions for the two-part Mockingjay finale is Game of Thrones star, Natalie Dormer.

Dormer plays Cressida, who plays her part in the rebellion by documenting every move Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) makes so the footage can be used to inspire others. In this clip we see Katniss' first meeting with Cressida, along with her video crew, including one who had his tongue cut out by the Capitol.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay part 1 is right around the corner, opening November 21st.

Chris Rock Talks his Favorite Rappers in Clip from 'Top Five'

The best part of High Fidelity, at least for me, were the scenes with John Cusack discussing his top five lists, whether it was about old girlfriends or favorite German rock stars. Those moments revealed a lot about his character, and it was something most guys can relate to because we all sit around and discuss stuff like that. That's what Chris Rock seems to be tapping into with Top Five, his new comedy that has been all the rage since debuting in Toronto.

Rock wrote, directed and stars in the film as celebrity comedian Andre Allen, who is about to get married to a reality show star and is trying to reinvent himself as a serious actor, despite his fans not really wanting him to. In this clip we see what amounts to a comedy bit as Rock talks about his top 5 rappers with family and friends, including Rosario Dawson who co-stars an inquisitive journalist.

Top Five opens in limited release on December 5th.

Civil War gets Teased in 'Avengers:Age of Ultron' Clip

Leaked footage is something every studio faces, but when it happens to Marvel everybody takes notice. It happens after Comic-Con every year, but lately it's been happening with alarming frequency. The trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron was leaked early, spoiling Marvel's plans for Agents of SHIELD. And now, we're getting a look at the exclusive clip shown during Marvel's big press event, and it's quite the tease.

This scene begins to show the cracks in the friendship between Captain America and Iron Man, which will form the basis of Captain America: Civil War. In the comics, they're on opposing sides of an argument over the registration of superheroes with the government. There will be some changes for the movie version, but the point is clear that these guys are going to come to blows at some point.

Avengers: Age of Ultron opens May 1st 2015.

First Clip from Christopher Nolan's 'Interstellar' with Matthew McConaughey

The secret is out. Early reviews for Christopher Nolan's Interstellar have arrived and whether you're trying to avoid them (like me) or not, chances are you already have heard the mixed response. So maybe the heady, ambitious sci-fi film isn't the groundbreaker it has been built up to be? Whatever the case, those who are still eagerly looking forward to it may want to hold on to the mystery a little bit longer, but for those who don't here's the first Interstellar clip.

This scene takes place before things head out into deep space, and it shows just how deeply the world has turned against the idea of space travel. It's gotten to the point where schools teach students that the moon landing was faked, an idea which pisses off Matthew McConaughey's character, an engineer who knows the real value of space exploration. Something tells me the rest of the world will be on the same page with him soon.

The scene also includes David Oyelowo, part of a great cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, Casey Affleck, Mackenzie Foy, Topher Grace, Bill Irwin, John Lithgow, Josh Stewart, Ellen Burstyn, and Matt Damon. Interstellar opens November 7th.

Jennifer Lawrence Shows How it's Done in New Clip from 'Serena'

So after a couple of years on the shelf, Susanne Bier's dramatic period piece Serena finally played in front of audiences at BFI London Film Festival and...well, it didn't turn out so good. After reports surfaced that multiple studios had turned down the film because of how terrible it was, early reviews seem to back that up. The star power of Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence may yet carry it to some level of box office success, though, and in small pieces the film doesn't look that bad.

The latest clip follows Lawrence as the titular character, the wife of a wealthy timber magnate as she teaches the workers how to do the job right. You get a sense of how strong and capable she is, but we know her mental state will be tested when her husband's secrets come to light.

Serena opens in theaters here on March 27th 2015, preceded by a VOD run on February 26th.

Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper Enjoy the View in First 'Serena' Clip

By now you know the story about Serena, Susanne Bier's film starring Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence that has been sitting on ice for a couple of years. All involved have completed other high-profile projects since, but finally it will be unveiled in full to the public at the London Film Festival before opening stateside early next year. And with reports that the film may not be all that great continuing to surface, a new clip has been released that is, frankly, kind of flat.

The Depression-era drama follows a timber magnate and his wife as they try to hold on to their North Carolina business while struggling with dark secrets from his past and her inability to bear children. This scene shows the couple in a happier moment as he shows off their new home with promises of more in the future. There's nothing really wrong with Lawrence or Cooper's acting in this scene, it's just really dry and there's no passion or anything between them. It just feels off, and maybe that's why the film has run in to so many difficulties.

Serena hits VOD on February 26th 2015 with a theatrical run to follow a month later.

Ben Affleck gets Questioned in New 'Gone Girl' Clip

Guys, it pays to REALLY know your wives. Her friends, her hobbies, all the way down to her blood type. Otherwise you may end up in the position Nick Dunne (Ben Affleck) is enduring in this new clip from Gone Girl in which he's questioned by two cops (Kim Dickens and Patrick Fugit) about his wife's (Rosamund Pike) disappearance. And if Nick wanted to look like the uncaring sort capable of murdering her he does a pretty good job since he doesn't seem to know anything about the woman he married. Or is that all just an act? Ahhh, the suspense!!!

Gone Girl is directed by David Fincher and opens October 3rd.

First Clip from 'Gone Girl' Reveals Nick and Amy's Happy Meeting

Arguably the biggest movie of the season doesn't have any big explosions, hobbits, or superpowers, it's a murder mystery with a crumbling marriage right at its center. We're only a week away from David Fincher's Gone Girl and the anticipation is building to what many think will be a sure-fire Oscar contender.

The first clip from the adaptation of Gillian Flynn's phenomenon of a novel features Ben Affleck and Rosamund as Nick and "Amazing" Amy Dunne, during their happy first meeting. Things will obviously go downhill from here when Nick becomes a suspect in her disappearance, but this brief glimpse at one of the good times is pretty integral.

Gone Girl hits theaters on October 3rd.

Michael Keaton Hates Bloggers in First 'Birdman' Clip

While attending another screening yesterday for a film I wasn't too excited about, one of the ladies running it told me they had just held a trade screening of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's Birdman. I've never been so jealous of people I'll never know or meet. The film, a meta comedy starring Michael Keaton as an actor attempting a comeback in the superhero role that built his career, has been earning the year's best reviews since playing at festivals. And while festival buzz is sometimes hard to judge (ask me about the "festival bubble" some day) the trailers and this new 15-second clip are pretty darn good.

In what is basically a tease of a tease, this scene features an argument between Keaton's character and his daughter, played by Emma Stone. Actually it's more of a scolding from her since he doesn't get a single word in, but we get that he's clearly not someone she holds in the highest esteem right now. This probably won't be good for his deteriorating mental state.

Birdman hits theaters on October 17th and it can't get here soon enough for me.

Kate Winslet Mistakes the King for the Help in Clip from 'A Little Chaos'

Seventeen years ago Professor Snape...er, Alan Rickman made his directorial debut with The Winter Guest, and despite earning a heap of awards it was a career path he didn't follow. But that has changed now with his follow-up, the British period drama A Little Chaos, which is set to be the Closing Night film at TIFF this weekend after screening for press later today. It's a prestigious slot, but the cast of Kate Winslet, Matthias Schoenaerts, Stanley Tucci, Helen McCrory, and Jennifer Ehle gives a pretty good indication why it was chosen.

Rickman also stars in the film, and in the first clip released by EW we see him sharing an awkward moment with Winslet. He plays France's King Louis XIV, who wants to add a fountain to his lush garden at Versailles. Winslet is gardener  Sabine De Barra who really wants the job but must compete with her potential love interest, Andre Le Nottre (Schoenaerts). In this scene we see Winslet's character mistaking the king for just another gardener. She's lucky that didn't end with her locked up in a tower or something.

First Clip and Poster for Andrew Niccol's 'Good Kill' Starring Ethan Hawke

We just saw a story about the progression of a Top Gun sequel, a film which the way we look at military warfare in the 1980s. Fighter pilots were cool, hot shots who bagged chicks and rained down terror on their enemies from above. Well, that's not how things are anymore. Today it's all about drone warfare with people who hardly resemble soldiers in an air-conditioned room fighting war in the same way we play video games. And that detachment from experiencing war's true horror has begun to be chronicled by Hollywood, with Andrew Niccol's Good Kill one that recently made some noise at Venice and TIFF.

Niccol reteams with Ethan Hawke (Gattaca, Lord of War) for the drama which centers on an ex-fighter pilot who becomes a drone operator, only to question the ethics of his mission. The plot isn't too wildly different from the recent indie film, Drones (review here), but it's a hot button issue that's going to stay relevant for a long time. Along with the stylish new poster a clip has been released that gives us a glimpse at the pilot discussing with his wife (January Jones) the disturbing particulars of his new job. [Indiewire]

Brit Marling gets Slapped in First Clip from Civil War Thriller 'The Keeping Room'

We don't get to see many Civil War movies focused on the plight of women, who were largely left to take care of the kids and protect the homestead. Unlike later wars, this one was fought on home turf and so the dangers were more immediate, and one o f those threats is captured in The Keeping Room, one of the most promising films to come out of TIFF. Directed by Daniel Barber (Harry Brown) with Brit Marling, Hailee Steinfeld, and Muna Otaru (Lost, The Wire), the film follows three South Carolina women whose home is invaded by a couple of Union soldiers played by Sam Worthington and Kyle Soller.

The conflict won't always be with the men, however, and in the first clip we see plenty of tension between the women. Marling and Steinfeld play sisters with Otaru as their slave who apparently has a mind of her own and a spine to match. Adversity brings out new shades in people, though, and it looks like these ladies are ready for a fight, even with one another.

The Keeping Room doesn't have a release date but I'm guessing that will change very soon.

Anna Kendrick Can Do Better in First Clip from Musical ''The Last Five Years'

Anna Kendrick first showed her musical talents in the talent show comedy, Camp, and has been putting her voice to good use ever since. Obviously Pitch Perfect and its soundtrack were a huge hit, powered largely by her, and the sequel will likely do even better. But she's also got Disney's star-studded Broadway adaptation of Into the Woods, and one film many people probably haven't heard of, the low-budget indie musical The Last Five Years.

Having just premiered at TIFF and picked up by Radius-TWC for distribution, a first clip from the film has been released and...well...music is subjective, right? Directed by Richard LaGravanese (Beautiful Creatures) and based on Jason Robert Brown's play, the story explores the five-year relationship between a struggling actress and a popular writer.  Kendrick is fully in the spotlight in this clip while her co-star, stage actor Jeremy Jordan, kinda gets to hang out and listen.

I'm all for musicals, heck, Begin Again was one of my favorite movies of the summer, but this does not look impressive at all. Then again I said the same thing about Pitch Perfect once and was completely wrong about that.  The Last Five Years opens next year on Valentine's Day.
