January Jones

Ed Harris and January Jones Sign on for Revenge Drama SWEETWATER

by Matt Currie    Posted: April 17th, 2012 at 1:07 pm

Twin filmmakers Logan and Noah Miller have locked down two fairly high-profile stars in Ed Harris and January Jones to anchor their sophomore effort, the revenge drama (God, there’s a lot of these nowadays) Sweetwater. Jones will step into the role of a 19thC widow who joins forces with Harris’ local sheriff to take down the “brutal sheep rancher” that killed her husband. I’m sure a man who ranches sheep can be absolutely vicious, but I can’t even think the phrase “brutal sheep rancher” without giggling. Production will begin this July in New Mexico.

MAD MEN Season 5 Promo and Billboard Teasers

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 18th, 2012 at 10:55 am

In preparation for the two-hour season five premiere of Mad Men on March 25^th, AMC has rolled out some new marketing. It’s a tricky thing to do, and do well, when your popular show centers on the men and women of an ad agency, but as usual they’ve nailed it. With all the color and clutter of New York City’s skyline vying for your visual attention, these clean and minimalist billboards are refreshing, eye-catching and iconic. We’ve also got the first promo video for season five which ties in nicely to the rest of the marketing. Mad Men, starring Jon Hamm, Elisabeth Moss and Vincent Kartheiser, returns to AMC on March 25^th. Hit the jump to check out the marketing.

New Trailer and Poster for SEEKING JUSTICE Starring Nicolas Cage

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 11:30 am

The first US trailer and poster for the thriller Seeking Justice have been unveiled. The plot concerns a happily married man who enlists the help of a dangerous underground vigilante operation when his wife is brutally attacked. He soon finds out that he’s in over his head, as the vigilante syndicate has bigger plans in mind as part of his repayment for their services. The trailer is pretty much what you’d expect from an action-thriller starring Nicolas Cage. There’s nothing particularly new or interesting here, and January Jones is quickly becoming the go-to actress for the part of “traumatized wife.” Time will tell if Guy Pearce’s charisma is enough to carry the film, but based on this first look I’m not entirely sold that Seeking Justice is worth checking out (though Cage’s facial hair makes a strong case for the contrary).

Hit the jump to watch the trailer. The film also stars Harold Perrineau, Jennifer Carpenter, and Xander Berkeley. Seeking Justice opens March 16th.

New Clips and Images from JUSTICE Starring Nicolas Cage and January Jones

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: November 17th, 2011 at 8:14 am

New clips and images have gone online for Roger Donaldson the action-thriller Justice starring Nicolas Cage, Guy Pearce, and January Jones.  The movie centers on Will Gerard (Cage), a man whose wife is violently attacked, and Will inadvertently requests “justice” from a group of vigilantes, and then refuses when they ask him to do some street justice in return.  Originally titled “Hungry Rabbit Jumps“, the movie has sat on a shelf for some time now, but has landed distribution in the UK and Ireland.  Judging by the clips, the movie is generic but not horrible (although I think it’s high time we stop putting magnetic letters on our refrigerators because they’re only used to leave threatening messages).  The clips also serve as a reminder that we’ve perhaps leveled an unfair expectation of Nicolas Cage.  While we know that he can go nutso in a movie, he shouldn’t always have to.

Hit the jump to check out the clips.  Justice opens in the UK and Ireland tomorrow.

Trailer and Images for Long-Delayed JUSTICE Starring Nicolas Cage and January Jones

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: September 22nd, 2011 at 8:01 am

You may recall that back in August 2010, we showed you the first image from a crime thriller named Hungry Rabbit Jumps starring Nicolas Cage and January Jones.  If you don’t recall this, don’t worry: it is not important in any way.  But if you had this project on your radar and were dismayed at its appearance, fear not.  The film has resurfaced with a new, far more generic and forgettable title: Justice.  The film also has plenty of new images and a trailer that does a good job of explaining why the movie sat on a shelf for over a year.  The premise is what if Don Corleone, instead of being wealthy and powerful and having people come to him for favors, trolled the waiting rooms of hospitals offering vigilante service but “Someday, and that day may never come, I’ll call upon you to do a service for me…”  Cage inadvertently requests “justice” from a group of vigilantes and then is surprised when they ask him to do some street justice in return.

The movie doesn’t look god-awful as much as it looks painfully forgettable, which I’m sure everyone involved is hoping for.  Hit the jump to check out the trailer and the image.  Justice opens in the UK on November 16th.

UNKNOWN Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: June 18th, 2011 at 6:37 am

It’s hard to catch the heat of a “out of nowhere” hit film, but Taken was massively successful, and so Liam Neeson has become an action movie star. But if taken worked because of its simplicity, few films he’s done since have captured that magic. Unknown stars Neeson as Dr. Martin Harris, who’s in Germany with his wife Elizabeth (January Jones) when he forgets something back at the airport, and ends up in a car crash with his driver Gina (Diane Kruger). When he wakes up, there’s another Martin Harris (Adian Quinn), and even his wife doesn’t seem to know him. From there the plot thickens. My review of Unknown on Blu-ray follows after the jump. 

X-MEN: FIRST CLASS Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: June 2nd, 2011 at 2:05 pm

How much do we expect from superhero movies?  Do we ask that they be faithful?  Do we demand they be grittier so we can argue that they’re more mature and therefore better?  Or do we ask that they be fun, disposable entertainment?  That answer probably depends on the property, although the tone and plot of the most famous superhero comics have varied so widely over the years that there’s no single answer.  Keeping this in mind, Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class forges its own path, not just in terms of the X-Men franchise, but in the superhero genre.  The film is stylish and exhilarating, but it’s also darker, more intense, and all the better for it.

January Jones, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Kevin Bacon, Zoë Kravitz, Rose Byrne & Lucas Till Talk X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: June 1st, 2011 at 10:12 am

With director Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class opening this weekend, I recently attended a press conference in New York City with January Jones, Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Kevin Bacon, Zoë Kravitz, Lucas Till and Rose Byrne.  While some press conferences are filled with awful questions and boring answers, the cast was in great spirits and I found the almost thirty minute conversation quite interesting.  They talked about why they wanted to be in the film, how they prepared to play their characters, what it was like to go back to the 60′s, the costumes, what they first thought when they found out they’d been cast, their reaction to seeing the finished film for the first time, what have the fans been telling them, and so much more.  You can either read the transcript or listen to the audio after the jump.

New Featurette and Images from X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 29th, 2011 at 6:24 am

A new featurette and a slew of images from X-Men: First Class have been released over the past week. Early reviews for the film have been wildly positive. Steve saw it earlier this week and thought it was great, “a home-run.” Director Matthew Vaughn has been thinking about a follow-up film, and even has an idea of how he would open the sequel. Directed by Vaughn, the film stars Michael Fassbender, James McAvoy, Rose Byrne, January Jones, Oliver Platt, Kevin Bacon, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Lucas Till and Caleb Landry Jones. X-Men: First Class opens on June 3^rd. Hit the jump to check out the featurette followed by the images.

3 Clips and 25 Minutes of Behind the Scenes Footage from X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Steve 'Frosty' Weintraub    Posted: May 24th, 2011 at 5:31 pm

With director Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class set to open next week, 20th Century Fox has sent over three clips and twenty five minutes of behind the scenes footage!  For those that want to stay spoiler free, I advise you not to watch the behind the scenes footage until you’ve seen the movie as it’s loaded with could be considered spoilers.  However, if you’re curious how a movie is made, or what it was like on the set, the footage is great.

As I said a few days ago after I saw the movie, X-Men: First Class is a huge home-run.  Everything from the great script to the awesome performances by the entire cast (with special mention to James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender) makes this X-Men film my favorite in the franchise.   Also, the film is loaded with incredible action and a ton of Easter Eggs for the fans.  Even the sets and costumes are great.  Trust me, as soon as the movie is over, you’re going to wish the next chapter was coming out next week.   Hit the jump to check out the footage.

MAD MEN Season Four Blu-ray Review

by Andre Dellamorte    Posted: May 15th, 2011 at 8:00 am

Wither, Don Draper? For Season Four of the hit show Mad Men, Jon Hamm’s Draper and his new company Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce is holding on with one big client: Lucky Strikes. But that deal is tentative, Draper is bottoming out as a drunk, and his family is suffering from its divorce, with little Sally Beth Draper (Kiernan Shipka) acting out in more and more inappropriate ways. With all this drama it’s sad to think we won’t see where these characters end up for another year or so. Our review of Mad Men Season 4 on Blu-ray follows after the jump.

New Posters for ANONYMOUS and X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 4th, 2011 at 12:21 pm

New posters have been released for Roland Emmerich’s Anonymous and Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class.  I’m having trouble deciding which is worse.  The poster for Anonymous makes it look like a person is exploding in a mess of ink and bird crap, but X-Men: First Class is continuing the proud tradition of having awful posters (but I seriously doubt anyone is going to top these).

Hit the jump to check out the posters and decide for yourself which one you’d least want on your wall.  Anonymous opens September 30th while X-Men: First Class is due out June 3rd.

New International Trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 27th, 2011 at 3:14 pm

On the heels of a new domestic trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class, Fox has also released an international version that sets a slightly different tone, and has some new footage including a first look at Oliver Platt and Ray Wise.  Again, there’s not of elaboration on the role the Hellfire Club will play, but the point of both trailers is clear: mutants prevented World War III.  Thanks, mutants!  Hit the jump to watch.

New Trailer for X-MEN: FIRST CLASS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: April 27th, 2011 at 10:32 am

Fox has released a new trailer for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class.  There’s a lot of good new footage and snippets of dialogue in this trailer. I’m still not sure how The Hellfire Club factors into the story, but I liked a lot of what the trailer has to show. We get a better look at the relationship between Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) and Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and there’s a much darker tone to the relationship between Xavier (James McAvoy) and Magneto (Michael Fassbender) as opposed to previous trailers which seemed to position Magneto more as a tragic figure. Fingers crossed that all these storylines and characters come together in a quality film.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  X-Men: First Class stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, January Jones, Rose Byrne, Oliver Platt, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, and Kevin Bacon.  The film opens June 3rd.
