In Disney’s latest clip from The Muppets, we learn that Walter can sing, dance, and wear the heck out of a powder blue suit. During a musical romp around town, Walter and Gary (costar Jason Segel) gather a crowd to sing about the joys of living. Unfortunately for Walter, Gary’s gangly dance style spells high kicks and pratfalls for the newest Muppet. See the clip — also the first peek at the new Muppets songs from Flight of the Conchords‘ Bret McKenzie — after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

New 'Muppets' clips: More Walter and an omelet diversion
Disney just released three new clips from Nov. 23′s The Muppets, starring Jason Segel, Amy Adams, and everyone’s favorite felt-faced friends. We learn a few more things about the newest Muppet, Walter. Namely, he may not be a crack detective, but, boy, does he know where to find a good chili dog.
In another clip, we’re treated to a confrontation between Miss Piggy (looking ravishing as ever) and her latest rival for Kermit’s attention. It has to be the single greatest use of the line, “Oh, look! An omelet station!” in cinematic history. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Orson Welles! See the new clips after the jump.

'The Muppets': No nudity for Jason Segel. Kermit, on the other hand ...

Jason Segel made a promise about his new movie The Muppets: “I do not do any full frontal nudity,” vowed the writer-actor who famously endured a stark-naked break-up scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. “Kermit, on the other hand,” he joked, “is always full frontal.”
Segel isn’t known for kids entertainment, but he’s determined to bring back a critical piece of family entertainment from his own childhood. “The Muppets were my first comic influence as a kid, and I don’t know if you remember, but when you’re young, Kermit is Tom Hanks,” he said at the CinemaCon convention of theater owners.

Amy Adams has nabbed the role of Lois Lane in director Zack Snyder’s reboot of Superman. “Second only to Superman himself, the question of who will play Lois Lane is arguably what fans have been most curious about. So we are excited to announce the casting of Amy Adams, one of the most versatile and respected actresses in films today,” said Snyder in the official Warner Bros. statement. “Amy has the talent to capture all of the qualities we love about Lois: smart, tough, funny, warm, ambitious and, of course, beautiful.”
The thrice Oscar-nominated Adams will join Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, and Henry Cavill in the Warner Bros. film.

Oscars Luncheon: James Franco, Nicole Kidman and other nominees prep for the main event
Image Credit: Steve Granitz/WireImage.comOnce a year for the last 30, the current crop of Academy Awards nominees come together to break grilled shrimp on focaccia bread at the Beverly Hilton, smile for the class photo, and turn a deaf ear to demands for 45-second acceptance speeches and promises of a three-hour running time. But before the 151 contenders (out of 190, which is a nominees luncheon record) could eat, drink and be merry yesterday, the most recognizable of their ranks fielded questions in the interview room, which yielded the following pearls of Oscar race wisdom.
“When I was 13, I had to go to bar mitzvahs every weekend and this is the same feeling. I have to put a suit on every weekend to go meet with a lot of Jews. The alternative where no one likes your movie is worse. I’ve experienced both and this is better.” — Jesse Eisenberg, Best Actor nominee, The Social Network READ FULL STORY »

Amy Adams reacts to her third Oscar nomination
Image Credit: Jojo WhildenSix years ago, Amy Adams was a little-known actress with a resume dotted with bit parts. Then came the indie Junebug, for which she was nominated for an Oscar, and her career quickly changed. With her salty performance as Micky Ward’s girlfriend in The Fighter, Adams nabbed her third nomination (following 2008′s Doubt) — capping a five-year run that landed her on the A-list. “I didn’t even think I’d ever have a national commercial, let alone three Oscar nominations,” says the 36-year-old actress. “It is insane. I don’t know exactly how I got here but I feel really fortunate to be here. And it’s a historic day because Christian Bale got nominated, finally.” READ FULL STORY »

The fun of January movies: Lowered expectations, less hype
In just a couple of hours, I’m off to a screening of Leap Year, the first major-studio movie to be released this year — which, if history is any guide, means that I should be in for a lousy time. The first post-holiday weekend in January has traditionally been a dumping ground for inferior product: the low-grade genre films that fill up (if not flush out) the pipes of the system before something better comes along. If a movie were really any good, goes the logic, then it wouldn’t be coming out in what is still the thick of the holiday/awards-season juggernaut. Yet one of the many things I love about being a movie critic is that history is never a very good guide. The rules, if that’s what you can call them, keep getting broken. Besides, it’s not every lowly January romantic comedy that gives you the chance to spend 90 minutes in the company of the lovely and charming Amy Adams. I’d say that my expectations for Leap Year now look something like this:
January romcom (-2) + Amy Adams (+2) x impossible-to-gauge generic ad campaign (1 + 1 – 1) = total blank slate
In other words: Who the f— knows?
Which is a rather liberating feeling. Leap Year is really a classic example of why I get a kick out of going to the movies in January. The expectations are so low that they’re all but nonexistent. And that’s kind of a nice, casual, and freeing attitude to take into a movie theater with you after a month’s worth of heavy, prestige, Oscar-bait masterpieces, each released with a bit more fanfare than the last. January movies, by contrast, kind of take you back to an earlier, quieter era (like, say, the late 1980s), before everything was hyped to within an inch of its life. READ FULL STORY »
