That Awkward Moment (DVD Review)

Starring: , , ,
Director:
Running Time:
Certificate:
Release Date:

Jason (Zac Efron) isn’t good with commitment. In fact he isn’t that good at knowing whether he’s dating someone or not, as they tend to emotionally break up with him when he just thinks they’re hooking up. His friend Mikey (Michael B. Jordan) is more settled down, with a wife, job and nice home.

Then Mikey discovers that his wife is cheating on him and suddenly he’s single. Jason and their third musketeer, Daniel (Miles Teller), vow to help him enjoy his newfound freedom, and they all agree to stay single and have some fun. Inevitably though (as this is a movie) Jason almost immediately meets Ellie (Imogen Poots), and after getting over an initial mistake where he thinks she’s a hooker, they start seeing each other. Daniel also has a new beau in the form of the rather posh Chelsea (Mackenzie Davis). [Read more…]

Fantastic Four Cast Finally Revealed Including Miles Teller & Jamie Bell

Jamie Bell

Jamie Bell

The casting rumours for the reboot of Fantastic Four have been going on for months, but now it seems things are coming to an end, as Variety reports that Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara and Jamie Bell are closing deals to star.

Assuming they all sign on the dotted line, Miles Teller will be Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic), Kate Mara is Sue Storm (The Invisible Woman), Michael B. Jordan is taking on Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) and Jamie Bell will tackle the role of Ben Grimm (The Thing).

There may be some issues sorting deals out though. For example Miles Teller is also signed up for the sci-fi sequel Insurgent, which is currently set to shoot at the same time as the superhero reboot. They may be able to sort out the scheduling, but if not Teller may have to be recast.

Josh Trank’s is directing with plans to start filming in Baton Rouge, Louisiana next month.

That Awkward Moment (Cinema)

Starring: , , , ,

Running Time:

Release Date:

Zac Efron is branching out from his heartthrob image and is now in the more adult, blokey phase of his career. To be fair, it’s a part that fits him pretty well, and That Awkward Moment, while clearly a vehicle for his talents, has plenty more going for it than just him. It’s bawdy, funny, charming and easy to watch, and gets to the point pretty economically. It’s only real weakness is the casting of Imogen Poots, but more of her later.

Efron is Jason, a book cover designer who is enjoying the life of a single man in New York. When his pal Mikey (Michel B. Jordan) announces he is divorcing his wife (Jessica Lucas) he, Jason and Daniel (Miles Teller) form a pact, to remain single to help each other out in bars, keep each other company and always be there for each other.

Four New That Awkward Moment Posters Featuring Zac Efron, Miles Teller & More

By 2 Comments

The red band trailer for That Awkward Moment featured Zac Efron’s butt and him wearing a dildo, so it’s perhaps a bit of a surprise that he’s holding a cat in his new poster for the movie, which makes everything seem a lot more innocent.

He’s not the only one who’s got one, as there are character posters for Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan and Imogen Poots have got one too.

Previously titled Are We Officially Dating?, That Awkward Moment is about a groups of Manhattan friends (Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan) who initially make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!), and have to decide “So…where is this going?”.

The movie is due out at the end of January.

That Awkward Moment Poster Featuring Zac Efron, Miles Teller & Michael B. Jordan

We’ve had a couple of trailers for That Awkward Moment, which surprised many by showing off Zac Efron’s showing off his butt and wearing a dildo. Now we’ve got a poster which is far more family friendly – but then, cinema foyer’s aren’t fond of showing off pictures of fake penises.

Previously titled Are We Officially Dating?, That Awkward Moment is about a groups of Manhattan friends (Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan) who initially make a pact to remain single. The plot thickens when each friend falls in love shortly after the vow is made (wouldn’t you just know it!), and have to decide “So…where is this going?”.

That Awkward Moment Green-Band Trailer – Zac Efron and friends have romantic problems

By Leave a Comment


Last week we had a slightly rude red band trailer for That Awkward Moment. Now we’ve got the green band version, which is still a little rude, but with fewer butt shots and dildos!

Previously titled Are We Officially Dating?, That Awkward Moment is about a groups of Manhattan friends (Zac Efron, Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan) who initially make a pact to remain single.

Michael B. Jordan Rumoured For Independence Day Sequel

By Leave a Comment

Michael-B-JordanAfter years and years of talking about it, Fox is finally committed to making a sequel to Independence Day, currently called ID Forever Part I, with director Roland Emmerich back in the driving seat. There’s been a lot of talk recently about whether Will Smith would or wouldn’t star, with the most recent chat saying he’s out.

Now it seems they’re looking for other cast members who’ll fill in whether Smith turns up or not, with TheWrap writing that Fruitvale Station star, Michael B. Jordan, has reportedly met with Emmerich to talk about a major role in the movie. No offer has been made yet though.

There’s no news either on who he might play, but the smart money is on a grown-up Dylan, the son of Jasmine (Vivica A. Fox) and step-son of Steven Hiller (Will Smith) in the first movie. Emmerich has already said the character will play a large role in the film as sort of a passing of the torch.

Fox really seem to like Jordan, as he’s still in the mix to the Human Torch in their Fantastic Four reboot.

It was announced a few months ago that ID Forever Part I would be released summer 2015, although it now appears it may wait for 2016, to tie in with the 20th anniversary of the first movie.

Sylvester Stallone Plans Rocky Spin-Off, Based Around Apollo Creed’s Grandson

By Leave a Comment

Rocky-Apollo-CreedAfter 2006’s Rocky Balboa, you might have thought we’d seen the last of the franchise that shot Sylvester Stallone to superstardom in 1976. However, now a spin-off is planned, with Stallone teaming up with Fruitvale Station direction Ryan Coogler for Creed, according to Deadline.

Michael B. Jordan is in early talks to play the grandson of Apollo Creed, famously portrayed by Carl Weathers in the first four Rocky movies, and still probably Rocky’s greatest opponent. Stallone is also set to play Balboa once more, taking on the role for the seventh time.

The movie will be about Creed’s grandson, who was raised in the lap of luxury but still possesses a natural instinct for boxing. However, his family do not want him to pursue a career in the ring. Despite that Rocky Balboa, who is now out of the game and has no desire to return to boxing, agrees to step in and mentor the young man.

Ryan Coogler has said that this is a dream project for him and when his agent put him in touch with Stallone, the actor thankfully agreed. Coogler is currently co-writing the screenplay with Aaron Covington, and if everything works out, the film will reunite him with his Fruitvale Station star, Michael B. Jordan. There’s no news on when it might shoot.

Fruitvale Station Trailer – Michael B. Jordan takes on the tragic true-life tale

By Leave a Comment


This year’s Sundance Grand Jury prize winner was Fruitvale Station (it played at the festival just as Fruitvale). Now we get a look at the movie with a trailer for the film.

The film tells the true story of Oscar, a 22-year-old San Francisco Bay resident who crosses paths with friends, enemies, family and strangers on the last day of 2008. By the end of the day, Oscar made national news when cell phone cameras carried by many witnesses documented an extremely over the top display of police force.

The film opens in the US on July 12th. No UK date is currently set. [Read more…]
