Hottie Amber Heard moves to 'Motor City'

Amber Heard, who looks ridiculously good in pretty much any flick she's in, moves to "Motor City." The actress from Texas has scored the female lead in the revenge movie, this according to Mike Fleming. I generally don't mind Amber Heard casting news at all, so thanks Mike.

Anyway, "Motor City" will star Dominic Cooper ("Captain America: The First Avenger") as a man who is released from prison and decides the best thing to do first is to hunt down everyone who framed him. Chad St. John wrote the script, and Albert Hughes ("the Book of Eli," "From Hell") is on board to direct.

Heard's most recent onscreen role was in "The Rum Diary." She also looked sharp and kicked some serious ass in "Drive Angry," and other credits include "The Ward," "The Joneses," "Pineapple Express" (I'm still drooling) and the shitty "Remember the Daze." In case you didn't already notice, I am a fan...

The trailer for 'Drive Angry 3D' is here!

Nicolas Cage comes back from hell to create mayhem on the road in Patrick Lussier's upcoming 3D action flick "Drive Angry 3D," and the first trailer for the movie is now online. Check it out below.

"Angry" focuses on a man (Cage) who's driving around like a crazy person while chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The film, shot in 3D, opens in theaters Feb. 11, 2011.

Amber Heard, William Fichtner and Billy Burke co-star, and judging by this trailer, "Angry" could be a fun flick filled with silly dialogue, cool action and a bunch of hotness (i.e. Amber Heard). Vrooooooooom...

New poster for 'Drive Angry 3D'

Nicolas Cage stars in Patrick Lussier's upcoming action flick "Drive Angry 3D," and a first one-sheet for the action flick just popped up on the Web at ShockTillYouDrop. You can check it out right after the jump.

To tell you the truth, I almost didn't see Cage on it in the back. My eyes definitely got stuck on Amber Heard, who co-stars. Other than that, this poster doesn't look that bad actually. Quite intense, huh?

"Angry" focuses on a man (Cage) who's driving around like a crazy person while chasing the people who killed his daughter and kidnapped her baby. The film, shot in 3D, opens in theaters Feb. 11, 2011.

The good thing is that right now, "Angry" looks pretty solid even without the 3D, and that's promising for sure. The cast rocks too, with Amber Heard, David Morse, Billy Burke and William Fichtner co-starring.

Watch David Duchovny in 'The Joneses' trailer

Derrick Borte’s directorial debut “The Joneses" will hit theaters April 16, 2010, and a new trailer for the comedy is now online. You can check it out after the jump. "The Joneses" debuted at festivals last year, and I hear it's been picking up some critical acclaim.

The film focuses on a seemingly perfect family that moves into a suburban community and leaves an excellent first impression with the neighbors. Truth is however that they are a fake family sent to live among consumers in order to promote new luxury products.

The idea is timely, for sure, and judging by this trailer, it's also a funny film boasting solid acting performances. I always enjoy watching David Duchovny on the big screen. The same goes for Amber Heard, who co-stars with Demi Moore and Gary Cole. Trailer below.

Amber Heard in promo pic for 'The Ward'

John Carpenter is currently working on his upcoming thriller "The Ward," and the folks at Dread Central spotted a new promo image for the film, which stars Amber Heard and Danielle Panabaker.

As you can see above, Heard looks a bit messy and alarmed in the pic. She plays Kristen, a beautiful but troubled young woman who finds herself held against her will in a remote ward of a psychiatric hospital.

Kristen quickly realizes things are not as they seem. The air is heavy with secrets, and at night, when the hospital is dark and foreboding, she hears strange and frightening sounds. It appears they are not alone.

Movie Review: “The Stepfather”

Seen on: October 17, 2009

The players: Director: Nelson McCormick, Writer: J.S. Cardone, Cast: Dylan Walsh, Sela Ward, Penn Badgley, Amber Heard, Sherry Stringfield

Facts of interest: Another remake...

The plot: A crazy dude pretends to be the sweet stepfather but ends up going nuts and killing entire families.

Our thoughts: To tell you the truth, I could have done a way better movie with every single dollar they wasted on Nelson McCormick’s disastrous remake “The Stepfather,” a film so ridiculously predictable and boring, it really made me want to get up and tear the screen apart. Yeah, it is really THAT bad!
