Movie Central, June 2, 2013. Soundtrack: "La Marseillaise" - Written by 'Claude Joseph Rouget De Lisle', Performed by Ben Barnes; "Dodo, L'enfante, Do" (Traditional) - Performed by Nora Arnezeder; "Harry Hops" - Written by Cory Wong (ASCAP), Performed by Martin Capitol, Courtesy of Music Dealers. Trivia: 1. It is a romantic drama film, written and directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal in their directorial debut. It stars Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Olivia Wilde, Jeremy Irons, Ben Barnes, Dennis Quaid, and Nora Arnezeder. 2. The Words started filming in Montreal, Canada on June 7, 2011. The Montreal location was used because it could pass as both Paris and New York. In two different New York scenes we can see trucks from Canada Post. 3. Reception: The Words has received negative reviews from critics, as it currently holds a 22% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 111 reviews with the consensus stating: "Neither as clever nor as interesting as it appears to think it is, The Words maroons its talented stars in an overly complex, dramatically inert literary thriller that's ultimately a poor substitute for a good book". At Metacritic, the film received 39 out of 100 with generally unfavorable reviews from 39 critics. Jen Chaney from The Washington Post gave the film 1.5 out of 5 stars, saying it "is a well-acted but narratively limp indie that’s undermined by a failure to connect emotionally with its audience". Chris Pandolfi from At A Theater Near You praised the film, saying that while its "ambiguity is unlikely to be appreciated by everyone," it "deserves to be structurally, emotionally, and thematically analyzed." Stephen Holden of the New York Times also praised the film as, "a clever, entertaining yarn." 4. Lee Sternthal and Brian Klugman wrote the script back in 1999. As friends of Bradley Cooper before his Hangover fame, they ask him to play the lead, he accepted then and kept his word more than 10 years later. 5. When Rory find and reads the Old Man's manuscript, the first page shown on-screen is actually an excerpt from Ernest Hemingway's memoir, "A Moveable Feast", discussing one of his early short stories called "Up in Michigan". Nearly all of Hemingway's other early works were lost because the suitcase his wife had packed them in was stolen from a train in Paris when she left in unattended for a few minutes; the Old Man's story clearly parallels this event. Quotes: 1. Daniella: "I'm young, spoiled, impetuous and American. Humor me." 2. The Old Man: "We all make our choices in life, the hard thing to do is live with them." 3. Rory Jansen: "I'm not who I thought I was, okay? I'm not. And I'm terrified that I never will be." 4. Clay Hammond: "At some point, you have to choose between life and fiction. The two are very close, but they never actually touch."

Trivia: 1. It is an American war film featuring John Wayne, George Takei, David Janssen, Jim Hutton and Aldo Ray, nominally based on the eponymous 1965 book by Robin Moore, though the screenplay has little relation to the book. 2. Thematically, The Green Berets is strongly anti-communist and pro-Saigon. It was produced in 1968, at the height of American involvement in the Vietnam War, the same year as the Tet offensive against the largest cities in South Vietnam. John Wayne was prompted by the anti-war atmosphere and social discontent in the U.S. to make this film in countering that. He requested and obtained full military co-operation and matériel from President Johnson. To please the Pentagon who were attempting to prosecute Robin Moore for revealing classified information, Wayne bought Moore out for $35,000 and 5 percent of undefined profits of the film. 3. The film's origins began in 1965 with a trip by John Wayne to South Vietnam, and his subsequent decision to produce a film about the Army special forces deployed there as a tribute to them. Wayne a staunch Anti-Communist and Hawk was a steadfast supporter of American involvement in the war in Vietnam. He co-directed the film, and turned down the "Major Reisman" role in The Dirty Dozen to do so. 4. Much of the film was shot in the summer of 1967 at Fort Benning, Georgia. Also filmed in Alabama. The United States Army provided several UH-1 Huey attack helicopters, a C-7 Caribou light transport, and the United States Air Force supplied two C-130 Hercules transports for use in the film. The Army also provided authentic uniforms for use by the actors, including the OG-107 green and "Tiger Stripe" Tropical Combat Uniform (jungle fatigues), with correct Vietnam War subdued insignia and name tapes. Some of the "Vietnamese village" sets were so realistic they were left intact, and were later used by the Army for training troops destined for Vietnam. The A-107 camp scene used in the film was realistically constructed on an isolated, hilly area of Fort Benning, complete with barbed wire trenches, punji sticks, sandbagged bunkers, mortar pits, towers, support buildings and hooches for the combined strike force. The camp set was largely destroyed by the producers using several tons of dynamite and black powder during the filming of the battle sequence. 5. The defensive battle that takes place during the movie is very loosely based on the Battle of Nam Dong, during which two Viet Cong battalions and the PAVN attacked the Nam Dong CIDG camp located in a valley near the Laotian border of the South Vietnam Central Highlands. The camp was defended by a mixed force of Americans, Australians and South Vietnamese troops on 6 July 1964. 6. George Takei missed working on the "The Trouble With Tribbles" and "The Gamesters of Triskelion" episodes of the original "Star Trek" series to work on this movie. David Janssen was working on this film when the final episode of his series "The Fugitive" aired. 7. Critical reception: Upon its cinema release, Chicago newspaper movie critic Roger Ebert gave it zero stars and cited extensive use of cliches, depicting the war in terms of "cowboys and indians", and being a "heavy-handed, remarkably old-fashioned film." It is on his "Most Hated" list. In The New York Times, Renata Adler wrote, "It is vile and insane. On top of that, it is dull." Oliver Stone's acclaimed anti-war film Platoon was written partially as a reaction to The Green Berets. It is mocked in the Gustav Hasford novel The Short-Timers in a scene where Joker and Rafter Man find the Lusthog Squad watching it at a movie theater. The war journalist John Pilger describes his reaction to The Green Berets in a 2007 speech he gave criticising the media for its coverage of the Vietnam war. "I had just come back from Vietnam, and I couldn’t believe how absurd this movie was. So I laughed out loud, and I laughed and laughed. And it wasn’t long before the atmosphere around me grew very cold. My companion, who had been a Freedom Rider in the South, said, 'Let’s get the hell out of here and run like hell.'" Despite the poor reviews, it went on to be a great commercial success, which Wayne attributed in part to the negative reviews from the press, which he saw as representing criticism of the war rather than the film. The Green Berets earned rentals of $8.7 million in North America during 1968.
Much of the film was shot in 1967 at Ft. Benning, Georgia, hence the large pine forests in the background rather than tropical jungle trees.

Scenes were filmed with Vera Miles as John Wayne's wife but they were cut before release by the studio. The scene only took one morning to shoot, but the film was considered overlong, and that scene was judged easiest to cut. Batjac, Wayne's company, offered her $10,000 for her work. When she refused that, they then offered her a new car, which she also declined to accept. Wayne made up for this by casting Miles in his next film Hellfighters.

In 1967 John Wayne wrote to Democratic President Lyndon Johnson requesting military assistance for his pro-war film about Vietnam. Jack Valenti told the President, "Wayne's politics are wrong, but if he makes this film he will be helping us." Wayne got enough firepower to make The Green Berets, which became one of the most controversial movies of all time.

Warner Bros. were concerned about letting John Wayne direct the movie because of the fact that his previous directorial effort, The Alamo, had been an expensive flop. They therefore only agreed to let him do the film if he agreed to co-direct with a more experienced director, and Wayne chose Ray Kellogg who, despite having only ever directed B-movies, the studio accepted due to his track record as a second unit director on a number of major studio releases.
The three leads - John Wayne, David Janssen and Jim Hutton - all died within slightly over eight months of one another: Hutton on June 2, 1979, Wayne on June 11, 1979, and Janssen on February 13, 1980.

All of the enemy Viet Cong and North Vietnamese solders are armed with single-shot rifles and almost no automatic weapons. This was plausible during the early years of the Vietnam war as many Viet Cong were armed with weapons of World War II British or American origin sold to them by the Chinese. The common AK-47 assault rifle used by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese began appearing in the mid 1960s, but there were very few in Hollywood warehouses to be used a props during that time.

Possibly due to the bad critical reaction, it's been a long held belief by many people that the movie was also a box office flop. Actually, it was one of John Wayne's biggest box office successes, attracting millions of moviegoers and ending up being the eleventh highest grossing movie of 1968.

Plot: A group of survivors hide on Alcatraz Island to escape from rising zombie hordes.[6] When their refuge is overrun, and upon hearing that a scientist may have discovered a cure, they leave the island to seek him out.
Trivia: It is an American zombie horror film from The Asylum and directed by Nick Lyon.[1] Written by Keith Allan and Delondra Williams, the film was initially titled Dead Walking, but was eventually changed to Rise of the Zombies.[2] The movie stars Mariel Hemingway, Chad Lindberg, LeVar Burton, and Heather Hemmens, and first aired on Syfy on October 27, 2012.
Production: In July 2012,[7] it was announced the completed film would screen in October as part of Syfy's "31 Days of Halloween" programming block.
Reception: New York Daily News compared the film to The Walking Dead, offering that it was more bloody and grisly, and that in comparison, Rise of the Zombies "makes Walking Dead look like Dora the Explorer." They also noted the film's "remarkably accomplished cast", and of the script wrote "their lines aren't Shakespeare, but they fall into the spirit, at least until most of them get chopped in half, eaten alive or whatever."[5] The New York Times felt that the film was "largely in the venerable horror tradition of movie-as-extended-chase-scene" and that The Walking Dead was "gentle by comparison."[8] They wrote that the film had "credible action sequences" and that the script offered " tiny flashes of wit".

Storyline: An immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his immortal opponent, a murderously brutal barbarian who lusts for the fabled "Prize". Trivia: 1, It is a fantasy film directed by Russell Mulcahy and based on a story by Gregory Widen. It stars Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown, and Roxanne Hart. The film depicts the climax of an ages-old battle between immortal warriors, depicted through interwoven past and present day storylines. Despite having enjoyed little success in its initial U.S. release, the cult film launched Lambert to stardom and inspired a franchise that included film sequels, television spin-offs, and an upcoming remake. The film's tagline, "There can be only one", has carried on throughout the franchise, as have the songs provided for the film by Queen. 2. Filming took place in Scotland, England, and New York City. Director Russell Mulcahy filmed it using music video techniques including fast cutting and pacy music. 3. Christopher Lambert had just barely learned to speak English when he took this role. The only other English-speaking film he had been in at that point was Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes, in which he spoke only a few words. 4. The opening scene was intended to take place during an NHL hockey match, but the NHL refused to allow the crew to film there because, by the crew's own admission, they were intending to emphasize the violence of the hockey match. 5. Gregory Widen was inspired by the story while visiting Scotland on vacation. He was visiting a museum in Edinburgh and came across a suit of Armour and wondered what it would have been like if the man who wore the Armour was alive today. 6. Cameos - Frank Dux: the martial arts legend portrayed by Jean-Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport is an old man who drives his car by a sidewalk while Kastagir fights Kurgan. When Kastagir dies, Kurgan steals his car to run away. Director Cameo - Russell Mulcahy: The first person hit by the Kurgan's car when he's driving on the sidewalk. 7. According to the DVD commentary, the film's climax was originally intended to take place on top of the Statue of Liberty. This was then changed to an amusement park, and finally changed to the rooftop of the Silvercup Studios building. During the final fight sequence between McLeod and Kurgan on the roof of the Silvercup Studios building, cables can be seen in the foreground pulling the studio's neon sign down. After filming had been completed, the production discovered that they had done so much damage to both the set and the actual roof of the Silvercup studios building as to make re-takes impossible. The final fight scene that takes place at the Silvercup studios (the sign is used in a few shots) used to be a bakery for the Silvercup bread company that had gone out of business a few years earlier. 8. Quote: Juan Sánchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez: [Opening narration] "From the Dawn of Time we came, moving silently down through the centuries. Living many secret lives. Struggling to reach the Time of the Gathering, when the few who remain will battle to the last. No one has ever known we were among you... until now." Anachronisms: 1. The Sword that Connor uses (the one he got from Ramirez) has a screw, fastening the handle to the blade. 2. In the scene where the Kurgan is fighting Ramirez he is using his modern, detachable high-tech sword. Even the fissure where the blade is divided can clearly be seen in several takes. 3. We see bagpipes with three drones in the 1500s; the long third drone was added after 1700. 4. The bagpipes seen in the 1500s are the wrong style. These are 'Regulation' pattern pipes, which only came into being about 1850, pipes from the time frame of the movie should be 'Chalice' pattern, ie, the top of the drone should look like a wine glass. 5. During the very first shot of Eilean Donan Castle, as the camera elevates above the villagers, the sun reflects off of a car traveling along the A87. Visible very briefly, it emerges from behind the fir trees, in the top right hand side of the shot, as it follows the shoreline.

Valentin Platareanu as General Schmidt and Thomas Rösicke as Russian Guard. History Network, June 6, 2013. Soundtrack: Original Music by James Horner. Storyline: A Russian sniper and a German sniper play a game of cat-and-mouse during the Battle of Stalingrad.
Trivia: It is a war film directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud, starring Joseph Fiennes, Jude Law, Rachel Weisz, Bob Hoskins and Ed Harris set during a fictionalized version of the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II.
The film's title is taken from William Craig's 1973 nonfiction book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad, which describes the events surrounding the Battle of Stalingrad from 1942–1943.[3] It is based on a duel mentioned in the book that developed between Soviet sniper Vasily Zaitsev and German Major Erwin König.
Historian Antony Beevor suggests in his book, Stalingrad, that, while Zaitsev was a real person, the story of his duel (dramatised in the film) with König is fictional. Although William Craig's book Enemy at the Gates: The Battle for Stalingrad includes a "sniper's duel" between Zaitsev and König, the sequence of events in the film is fictional. Zaitsev, in an interview claimed to have engaged in a sniper duel over a number of days. Zaitsev stated that after killing the German sniper, and on collecting his tags, he found that he had killed the head of the Berlin Sniper School. Quote: Danilov: "Do you know how to shoot?" Vasilli: "A little." Anachronisms: 1. When Vasily and Danilov arrive at the banquet with Nikita Khrushchev, the Soviet National Anthem can be heard playing in the background. This anthem was not adopted until early 1944, just over a year after that scene takes place. 2. From certain angles it can be clearly seen that the lenses of Danilov's spectacles have modern, anti-reflective coating. 3. The hand that Tania puts down Vassili's trousers has clear, shiny varnish on the nails. Possible in 1942, because it was invented by Michelle Ménard in the early 1920s, but unlikely to be used by a Russian soldier in Stalingrad. 4. Every pistol shown in the film seems to be correct, being either Tokarev TT-33's or 1895 Nagant revolvers, except for one. During the initial "human wave" charge, after the Soviet conscripts turn to retreat back to their lines and are cut down by friendly fire, there is one camera shot which shows two NKVD officers firing semiautomatic pistols. The nearest one is only partially visible, but appears to be a Makarov PM, rather than a Tokarev TT-33. The Makarov pistol was not designed until just after the war. 5. The stethoscope used to examine Tania near the end of the movie is actually a post-1960 style. Stethoscopes before 1960 always have two separate tubings attached to the bell. 6. While Danilov is a commissar for most of the course of the film, the rank of commissar was eliminated on 9 October 1942, well before the end of the Stalingrad battle. 7. In the scene where Vassili is lighting the cigarette butt he picked up from the German sniper, it's apparent by the flame he uses a butane lighter. Butane lighters were not invented until the 1950's. 8. When Danilov crashes his car near the fountain and it rolls over, radial type tires are seen. Although patented in 1915, radial tires were not used on vehicles until the 1960s.

Trivia: It is an American drama film directed by Steven Soderbergh about the life of pianist Liberace and the secret affair he had with young Scott Thorson, based on Thorson’s memoir, Behind the Candelabra: My Life With Liberace (1988).[3] It premiered at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival on May 21, 2013 and competed for the Palme d'Or.[4] It aired on HBO on May 26, 2013 and will be released in the United Kingdom on June 7, 2013.
While promoting the film, Soderbergh went on to explain that this will be his last directorial effort for the time being.[3][6] It is also the last film to feature a musical score by composer Marvin Hamlisch, who died on August 6, 2012.
At the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, Baby Boy (a dog that appeared in the film as one of Liberace's pet poodles), won the Palm Dog Award.[20] This is not an official part of the festival but takes place at the same time.
In a January 2013 interview with the New York Post, director Steven Soderbergh said that this movie was originally planned for a theatrical release but was ultimately produced by and aired on HBO instead because the story was "too gay" for Hollywood movie studios: "Nobody would make it, We went to everybody in town. They all said it was too gay. And this is after Brokeback Mountain, by the way, which is not as funny as this movie. I was stunned. It made no sense to any of us."

Michael Douglas was older at the time of filming than Liberace was when he died. Although played by 42-year-old Matt Damon, Scott Thorson was only a teenager when he met Liberace, and 23 when their relationship ended. He was still only in his twenties when Liberace died.
Share this
Matt Damon wore a wig for the film to look younger.
Share this
Although Liberace famously wore wigs, Michael Douglas chose to have his own hair in the film.
The real Dr. Jack Startz (the plastic surgeon played by Rob Lowe in this movie) committed suicide in May 1985.
Share this
In May 2013, the New York Times reported that Scott Thorson received a little less than $100,000 for his participation with this movie, and that he spent all of that money "in about two months, mostly on cars and jewelry."
Share this
The New York Times obituary for composer Marvin Hamlisch, who died on August 6, 2012, said that before his death he had already completed the score for this film (which didn't air until nearly a year after his death). The movie is dedicated to Hamlisch.
Peggy King is seen singing the song "When Liberace Winks at Me" to the real Liberace from a 1955 TV appearance, in a scene where Michael Douglas is showing an old VHS tape to Matt Damon's character. Anachronisms: 1. At the funeral Mass at the film's end, the congregation's response to the priest's opening liturgical greeting "The Lord be with You" is .."and with your spirit". This is a well known change made recently. The funeral takes place in 1987 where the liturgical response would still have been, "And also with you." 2. The wheels on the Mercedes 450SL that Bob drives in 1977 were not introduced until 1986 on the 560SL.

Trivia: It is a British-French-Argentine science fiction action film directed by Russell Mulcahy and starring Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Virginia Madsen and Michael Ironside. It is the second installment to the Highlander film series, and it was released on January 31, 1991.[1]
The film has been universally panned; being highly criticized by the lack of focus from the original movie, the story, the acting peformances and the excessive violence. It is widely considered to be one of the worst films ever made.
The film’s apparent poor performance is partially a result of the bonding company’s interference with the work of director Russell Mulcahy, as well as economic problems within Argentina itself, the location where the movie was filmed.
Grossly contradicts Highlander, its prequel. All subsequent Highlander films ignore Highlander II, as if it never happened. The two captives are put on trial by Zeist’s priests, who sentence them to be exiled and reborn on Earth in pursuit of "The Prize." Winning the Prize gives the victor the choice to either grow old and die on Earth, or to return to Zeist. It is worth noting that alternate cuts of the film have these events transpire in Earth's distant past rather than on Zeist. Katana is unsatisfied with their decision, but the sentence is executed, leading to the events of the original 1986 film.
Virginia Madsen auditioned for Heather in the original Highlander.

Trivia: It is a supernatural horror film directed by Ole Bornedal and produced by Sam Raimi. It was released in the US on August 31, 2012, with the film premiering at the Film4 FrightFest.[4]
The story is based on the allegedly haunted dybbuk box.[5] Bornedal cited films like The Exorcist as an inspiration, praising their subtlety.
Was originally rated R by the MPAA for "violence, terror and disturbing images" but the film was eventually edited to receive a PG-13 rating for "mature thematic material involving violence and disturbing sequences."

Stephen Susco, Moira Buffini and E.L. Katz worked on previous versions of the script.
Share this
While promoting the film on Craig Ferguson [airdate 8/29/12], Jeffrey Dean Morgan reported that strange incidents took place during production that couldn't be explained. Lights exploded during the filming of key scenes; and just two days after wrapping principal photography, all of the props for the film, stored in case of re-shoots, were destroyed in a fire that mysteriously erupted from within the storage-house.

Demon in the box speaks Polish.
Share this
The book that the father brings into the house and reads at Emma's bedside is the ArtScroll/Mesorah edition of the Tenach (Jewish Bible = Old Testament), first published in 1996, and he is reading from the English translation there of Psalm 91. That edition follows the Orthodox affectation of using "HaShem" (literally, 'THE Name') where most other English versions have "The Lord"; the same substitution occurs in the Hebrew prayers recited in the synagogue and exorcism scenes.
In the final scenes Em takes hiding in the hospital's morgue. A hospital's morgue plays a crucial part in Ole Bornedal's breakthrough movie Nightwatch (1997).
Share this
At the end, when the demon in the box is speaking after the car crash, it says "So many mushrooms, sitting in the grass" (this appears to be from a Polish nursery rhyme).
Parts of the movie were filmed at a former mental institution, Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Quotes: Tzadok: I hate hospitals... people die here.

Trivia: It is a British film released in September 2012. It is an adaptation of the 2007 novel Before I Die by Jenny Downham. The film is about Tessa, a girl who is dying of leukaemia and tries to enjoy her remaining life as much as she possibly can.[3] The cast includes Dakota Fanning, Jeremy Irvine and Paddy Considine. The first trailer for the film was released on 5 March 2012.[3] The movie was directed and adapted from the novel by Ol Parker who had recently written the screenplay for The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
All but two days of production took place in and around London. Now is Good is actually set in the seaside city of Brighton, but only two days of location shooting took place in Brighton and along England’s southern coast.
The character of Tessa has brown hair in the novel the film is based on. Olivia Williams, who plays Tessa's mother wore a blonde wig so Dakota Fanning could stay blonde for the role.

Father: I never had a life. I was an accountant."

Trivia: It is an American sports comedy film directed by Frank Coraci, written by Allan Loeb and Kevin James, and starring Kevin James. The film was released on October 12, 2012, in North America.
Filming was in and around the Boston, Massachusetts, area. Filming was also in Lowell and Quincy, Massachusetts.
Reactions shots for the MGM Grand fight were filmed at the old Everett, Massachusetts High School, which Ellen Pompeo graduated from in 1987 and was also used as a base camp for filming of Boston's Finest.
Near the beginning of the film, Scott Voss is "teaching" his class, and puts a newspaper over his head. On the paper is a photo of a hockey player with the headline "Season Suspended", suggesting a suspended hockey season. When this film was released in the Fall of 2012, there really was a suspended hockey season due to a player lockout.
Kevin James started physically preparing for the role 14 months before filming. He lost around 70-80 pounds.
Henry Winkler played a wrestler, based on show wrestler Gorgeous George, named "The Lover" in the movie The One and Only.
Despite their last names, Kevin James and Gary Valentine are brothers in real life.

Trivia: It is an American sports drama film directed by Gavin O'Connor and starring Joel Edgerton, Tom Hardy, and Nick Nolte. Warrior tells the story of two estranged brothers entering a mixed martial arts (MMA) tournament and deals with the brothers' struggling relationship with each other and with their father. The film was released on September 9, 2011, to overall positive reviews, and earned an Academy Award nomination for Nolte. Warrior is dedicated to the memory of MMA clothing brand Tapout co-founder Charles "Mask" Lewis, Jr., as seen just before the ending credits.
Mogul Minds Studios, (now 31st Street Studios), located in Pittsburgh, was used during the filming, as well as the University of Pittsburgh's Petersen Events Center and the Twin Hi-Way Drive-In. North Hills Senior High School was also used for some scenes. Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City was used for the exterior scenes of the main fight venue, along with scenes filmed on the boardwalk and beach.
Hardy went through a demanding training routine for gaining muscle during the film's pre-production, gaining around 28 pounds (13 kg) of muscle and raising his overall weight to 205 pounds (93 kg) (a physique which he also used to portray Bane in The Dark Knight Rises). Joel Edgerton has a black belt in Karate.
When the announcer is quoting Koba's credentials, he states that he is an Olympic Gold medalist in wrestling. Kurt Angle, the actor playing Koba, won a gold medal in the 1996 Olympics in the 220lbs/100 kg weight class for freestyle wrestling. He was also a world champion in the same style and weight class in 1995.

The role of the promoter, played by director Gavin O'Connor, was originally written for TapouT founder 'Charles 'Mask' Lewis'. Lewis was killed by a drunk driver just before shooting began. O'Connor spoke at Lewis' memorial service on April 14, 2009, six days before principal photography began. The film is dedicated to him.

The original script location for the Conlon family was Long Beach, CA. It was moved to Pittsburgh due to Pennsylvania tax breaks. The scenes set at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City were originally written for the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Gavin O'Connor moved the action to New Jersey to fit with the gritty east coast aesthetic of the film.

Olympic gold medalist Kurt Angle played the Russian fighter "Koba," whose nickname was taken from the moniker given to 'Josef Stalin'. In the original script, "Koba" was named "King Kong," but it was changed for legal reasons. The brother of Gavin O'Connor's assistant, Samantha Ellison, suggested the name "Koba."

The character "Koba" seems to loosely resemble real life Mixed Martial Artist Fedor Emelianenko, who was the #1 ranked Heavyweight in Mixed Martial Arts for over 7 years and considered unbeatable. He also was Russian and a Sambo Champion multiple times over. Plus there is even a physical resemblance, as Fedor was white, bald, and about Koba's size. However, the name 'Koba' was a moniker for Josef Stalin. Emelianenko's reputation as a professional athlete as well as his character are highly positive, and his physique is pudgier than that of Angle's, so the similarity is only in their professional achievements.

Koba's entrance song is one of the trademark songs of the Soviet cult singer-poet Vladimir Vysotsky - The Fastidious Horses.
Quote: Brendan Conlon: "I popped his shoulder." Frank Campana: "Relax. Breathe." Brendan Conlon: "I heard it tear." Frank Campana: "You popped his shoulder? Good. I want you to pop his other shoulder." Geography: North Hills Senior High School, where Brendan taught physics, and the Twin Highway Drive-in theater, where his students watched the final two fights, take place in Philadelphia but are actually located in Pittsburgh, where most of the rest of the movie is set.

Trivia: American superhero film directed by Zack Snyder, produced by Christopher Nolan, and scripted by David S. Goyer. Based on the DC Comics character Superman, the film is a reboot of the Superman film series that portrays the character's origin story. The film stars Henry Cavill in the title role with Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Michael Shannon as General Zod, Diane Lane as Martha Kent, Kevin Costner as Jonathan Kent, Laurence Fishburne as Perry White, and Russell Crowe as Jor-El. Man of Steel is intended to launch a shared fictional universe of DC Comics characters on film. Development began in 2008 when Warner Bros. Pictures took pitches from comic book writers, screenwriters and directors, opting to reboot the franchise. In 2009, a court ruling resulted in Jerry Siegel's family recapturing the rights to Superman's origins and Siegel's copyright. The decision stated that Warner Bros. did not owe the families additional royalties from previous films, but if they did not begin production on a Superman film by 2011, then the Shuster and Siegel estates would be able to sue for lost revenue on an unproduced film. Nolan pitched Goyer's idea after story discussion on The Dark Knight Rises, and Snyder was hired as the film's director in October 2010. Principal photography started in August 2011 in West Chicago, Illinois, before moving to Vancouver and Plano, Illinois. Filming in Plano, IL and Chicago, IL in August and September of 2011 was done under the code name of "Autumn Frost." It was such a badly-kept secret that on September 6, 2011, the Chicago Tribune published a full article about it. ("Code Name: Go Figure").
Diane Lane previously appeared in Hollywoodland, whose subject was previous Superman actor George Reeves.

Trivia: It is a slapstick comedy film based on the classic shorts of the mid-20th century comedy trio of the same name. The movie was produced, written and directed by the Farrelly brothers and co-written by Mike Cerrone, and stars Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes, and Will Sasso, recreating the eponymous characters played by Moe Howard, Larry Fine, and Curly Howard. The film's story places the Stooges in a modern setting. After over a decade of casting problems, principal photography took place from May to July 2011. The film was released on April 13, 2012, and is rated PG in the US (for slapstick action violence, some rude and suggestive humor including language) by the MPAA rating system.
The film is composed of three acts, which are referred to as episodes (a reference to how the original Three Stooges short films were packaged for television by Columbia Pictures).
Post-script epilogue: (a) An epilogue consists of two young actors (Antonio Sabato, Jr. and Justin Lopez) playing the Farrelly brothers, explaining that the stunts were all done by professionals, showing the foam rubber props used in the film for the trio to hit one another, demonstrating the fake eye-poke trick (to the eyebrows), and advising children not to try any of the stunts at home. (b) During the end credits, a music video plays showing the Stooges and Sister Rosemary performing "It's a Shame", originally recorded by The Spinners in 1970, interspersed with excerpts from deleted scenes and a couple of brief outtakes. Though credited to "The Spinners and The Three Stooges", Hudson's own distinctive vocals can also be heard.
Casting: In March 2009, Benicio del Toro was in talks to play the lead role of Moe Howard,[9] but then later dropped out. Hank Azaria was also being considered for the part. The role of Moe went to Chris Diamantopoulos.[8][10] Sean Penn was already set to play Larry Fine but dropped out to concentrate on his charitable efforts in Haiti.[10] Sean Hayes was chosen to play Larry. Jim Carrey was set to play Curly Howard and gained 40 pounds for the role but ultimately dropped out because of not wanting to endanger his health gaining 60 to 70 pounds.[10][11] The role went to Will Sasso.[12] Johnny Knoxville, Andy Samberg and Shane Jacobson were all on the short list to play Moe, Larry and Curly, respectively. Bill Chott also auditioned for the role of Curly.[13] As the Farrellys note in the DVD/Blu-ray featurette on casting the picture, Sasso was cast as Curly despite being considerably taller than the other Stooges (the original Curly was roughly the same height as Moe and Larry). In December 2010, Richard Jenkins was in talks to play Mother Superior in the film.[4] In February 2011, Cher was considered[10] but Jane Lynch secured the role.[14] Larry David plays another nun in the film called Mother Mengele,[15] a character named after the infamous Nazi doctor.[16] Sofía Vergara was cast as Lydia. Stephen Collins was cast as Mr. Harter[2] and Carly Craig as his wife, Mrs. Harter.[17] The cast of Jersey Shore (Nicole Polizzi, Michael Sorrentino, Paul DelVechhio, Jennifer Farley, and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro) have cameos in the film.

Robert Capron plays Young Curly and had to have his head shaved for the role. The producers gave Capron a wig to wear off the set. This information was in The Wimpy Kid Movie Diary book.
Filming
On a reported budget of $30 million,[2] principal photography started on May 9, 2011, in downtown Atlanta, Georgia and wrapped on July 20, 2011.[19][20] Scenes were shot at the Fairlie-Poplar Historic District around 5 Points Sports Building on the corner of Peachtree St., Edgewood Ave., and Decatur St. on the evening and night of May 13 and wrapped the next day.[20] On May 26, filming took place at Stone Mountain Park in Atlanta.[2] Other locations included Piedmont Park and Colony Square.[21] In June, production moved to Cartersville and shot scenes near Woodland High School.[22] After the cast of the Jersey Shore arrived on July 18, 2011, they shot scenes at the Atlanta Civic Center.[18] During the last two days of filming, scenes were shot at an Ansley Park home.[21] Filming concluded on July 22, 2011, at the Miami Seaquarium, a popular marine life park in Florida, capturing a scene in their dolphin tank.
Criticism for anti-Catholicism
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League anti-defamation organization, released a statement condemning the movie for its disrespectful portrayal of Catholics, specifically nuns.[33] Donohue claims that the movie is evidence of increasing hostility towards religion and Catholics in Hollywood, commenting "In the 1950s, Hollywood generally avoided crude fare and was respectful of religion. Today, it specializes in crudity and trashes Christianity, especially Catholicism." Donohue added that the movie "is not just another remake: it is a cultural marker of sociological significance, and what it says about the way we’ve changed is not encouraging."[33]
Donohue pinpoints one scene in which the film pushes the envelope with its portrayals of two unusual nuns, portrayed by the swimsuit model Kate Upton, and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David. Both are potential causes for offense for different reasons, as Moviefone reports:
"In Stooges, David portrays Sister Mary-Mengele. The name is a nod to the late Nazi Josef Mengele, an SS Officer who decided prisoners' fates at Auschwitz. As for Upton, it's not so much her character's name—Sister Bernice—as it is her attire. During one scene, the SI swimsuit model dons a very revealing bikini along with a large rosary around her neck."[16]
To resolve the issue, the Farrelly brothers reshot the scene with Larry pointing out Sister Bernice, still wearing the "nun-kini" while on lifeguard duty at the new orphanage's pool.[citation needed] Close-up footage of Upton exiting the pool in front of a group of children appears in the film's trailer, but not in the movie itself nor DVD/Blu-ray deleted scenes; in the final film, she is only seen sitting in a chair and briefly in the background of a group shot while in her swimsuit (in her other scenes, she is dressed in standard nun attire).
Awards
The cast of Jersey Shore were each nominated for a Razzie Award for Worst Screen Couple for their work on the film.
Quotes: 1. Lydia: Those three idiots are here! Mac: [looking around] The Kardashian girls? Where are they? 2. Moe: Hey, onion-head, go on back to the shed and grab the chainsaw. Curly: Why doesn't Larry go? Moe: 'Cause he's got a headache. Larry: No, I don't. [Moe bonks Larry on the head with a hammer] Moe: How about now? Larry: [holding his head] Yeah, it's coming on. 3. Teddy: So, you boys on Facebook? I'll poke you. Better yet, I'll tweet you. Curly: Oh! Tweet us to dinner? Soitenly! Anachronism: The scene where the couple who would eventually become Teddy's parents are driving down the road with Moe is supposed to be 25 years prior to present day (2012), yet following behind them is clearly a red Jeep Liberty, which didn't go into production until 2001.
