God bless young Jacob Tremblay. The Room and Book Of Henry star is impossibly cute, something that comes through even under the large amounts of makeup he has to wear for Wonder. Although it might seem a little creepy to be talking about a young boy’s cuteness, in this case it’s vital to the film, as Tremblay’s talents are so central to the movie. The makeup is potentially a real barrier for an actor though, and a tough one for somebody so young to overcome. Jacob does it though with aplomb.
Tremblay plays August ‘Auggie’ Pullman, who was born with Treacher Collins Syndrome, which has left him with significant facial deformities. He’s been home-schooled by his mother (Julia Roberts), but will be going to mainstream school for the first time when he joins the fifth grade. Auggie is a shy and sensitive child, very aware of how others treat him because he looks different. [Read more…]
First it was called Bastards, then it got retitled to the softer Who’s Your Daddy?, and now they’ve altered things again, to Father Figures. But despite the numerous name changes, the movie itself remains the same.
With a trailer that’s already made some people cry (especially those who remember Mask) and a December release date set, it looks like Wonder may be hoping for some award love early next year. Now we get our first look at the movie with a trailer and poster.
We must be most sensitive in the UK. In America, this film is going by the rather blunt title Bastards, but over here it’s be retitled to the softer Who’s Your Daddy. It’s the same film though, and the same new trailer.
It’s time for another sequel that no one asked for, but with Hollywood looking for any and every way to entice Chinese audience, it’s been revealed that Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson getting back together for a follow-up to Shanghai Noon and Shanghai Knights, according to 
Things recently got a bit messy for Masterminds. The film should have come out last year, but when its production company/studio Relativity went into bankruptcy it got delayed. Then, when Relativity came out of bankruptcy, Netflix decided that due to their deal with the studio, they were going to start streaming the movie before it went to cinemas. That led to a court case where it looked like things were gonna get messy. However, that’s now been sorted out and a new trailer has arrived.
