9 November 2009 10:10 AM, PST | Channing Tatum Unwrapped | See recent Channing Tatum Unwrapped news »

Jenna Dewan-Tatum tweeted yesterday that she would be both presenting and performing with "So You Think You Can Dance" dancers and more at the upcoming Dizzy Feet Foundation benefit, and today, she announced that Chan would also be presenting with her.

Dizzy Feet Foundation was founded in 2009 by producer Nigel Lythgoe, director Adam Shankman, "Dancing with the Stars" judge Carrie Ann Inaba and actress Katie Holmes to help underprivileged young people realize their dream of becoming professional dancers and to support, improve, and increase access to dance education in the Unites States.

Aliens In The Attic – Blu-ray

6 November 2009 6:20 PM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Aliens In The Attic (Blu-ray)

Directed by: John Schultz

Cast: Carter Jenkins, Austin Robert Butler, Ashley Tisdale, Robert Hoffman, Kevin Nealon, Doris Roberts, Andy Richter

Running Time: 1 hr 28 mins

Rating: PG

Due Out: November 3, 2009

Plot: A quartet of heavily-armed extra-terrestrials come to Earth to retrieve a previously abandoned doomsday machine. Who can stop them? Kids!

Who’s It For? This is the fluffiest and family-friendliest presentation of a possible alien takeover in eons. The tiny green aliens are scary more than ugly, and the overall violence in the film is for the most part slapstick. My dog would probably scamper down to the basement after a couple of loud crashes, but she has always been a wuss.

Movie:

Aliens In The Attic is a movie of shenanigans from start to finish. Before the title becomes relevant, the kids are partaking in rebellious activity, like giving the online school grades the ol’ two letter grade bump, »

Fish Tank – Ciff Quickcard Review

30 October 2009 4:03 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Quickcard Review – Chicago International Film Festival Review

Fish Tank

Directed by: Andrea Arnold

Cast: Katie Jarvis, Michael Fassbender

Running Time: 2 hrs, 3 mins

Rating: R

Plot: A 15-year-old girl (Jarvis) who lives with her mother and sister in public housing has dreams of becoming a hip-hop dancer.

Who’S It For? Tired of movies that portray “the streets” with too much sparkle? Want a bit more reality in your coming of age stories? Here’s Fish Tank.

Overall

With long takes and no musical score, Fish Tank is one of those films that is subtle in presentation – but is as large as life when considering its story. It’s the tale of growing up and getting out like we’ve seen before, but this time without the soft edges. Some more than obvious imagery at the end of the film provides us with closure, but not before irrevocable mistakes are made first. »

Adam Shankman to Direct “Rock of Ages”

20 October 2009 5:22 AM, PDT | Atomic Popcorn | See recent Atomic Popcorn news »

Adam Shankman is a busy, busy man. Since directing 2005’s The Pacifier and Cheaper By the Dozen, Shankman has barely had a break, taking on numerous projects directing, producing, and choreographing films, as well as being a judge on the hit show So You Think You Can Dance. Now Shankman is adding another project to his résumé with a film version of the Broadway musical Rock of Ages.

Rock of Ages has been incredibly successful on the stage (the play has earned five Tony nominations), and if his work with Hairspray is any indicator, Shankman is just the man to make the stage production translate to the big screen.

With films such as dance flicks Step Up and Step Up 2: The Streets and the hit musical Hairspray to his credit, Shankman has had experience working in genres that may have less widespread appeal than some. This is part of »

Selena Gomez Knows What Boys Want

19 October 2009 11:25 PM, PDT | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

New Line have picked up a pitch by Step Up 3D writers Emily Meyer and Amy Adelson for teen romcom What Boys Want, featuring Disney Channel star Selena Gomez.Does that title sound familiar? Try this: it's about a girl who can hear what the opposite sex are thinking.Yup indeedy. Although there's no mention of it in Variety's story, this is sounding awfully like a sequel or a spinoff or a reboot or just something that sounds very unofficially similar to 2001's Mel Gibson starrer What Women Want, in which Gibson played a guy who... could hear what the opposite sex were thinking.Gibson used his talent to win Helen Hunt, but Gomez's potential conquest has yet to be revealed. We're sure he will be wholesome. At least by the end of the movie. »

What Women Want 2???

19 October 2009 7:33 PM, PDT | JoBlo.com | See recent JoBlo news »

     Ok, so I liked What Women Want in a guilty-pleasure way, plus Mel waxing his leg was pretty funny. But a Tween-centric spin-off/sequel/remake/rip-off  or whatever they wish to call it, by Disney nonetheless, even I can't stomach that! The studio is developing something called What Boys Want from a pitch by Amy Andelson and Emily Meyer who are also providing the Mouse with Step Up 3D. You read that right - a third Step Up And in 3D. There... »

Sneak Peeks, Promo & Photos – Melrose Place 1.07 "Windsor"

18 October 2009 9:34 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

Tuesday means a new episode of Melrose Place and Jenna Dewan's first appearance on the show.  It's also the return of another original cast member: Daphne Zuniga.  She returns as Riley's photographer and we have two sneak peeks, the promo and promo photos for you.  Riley has a tiny waist.  It makes me jealous.

Daphne Zuniga Returns As Jo Reynolds And Jenna Dewan (“Step Up”) Guest Stars

Ella (Katie Cassidy) and Riley (Jessica Lucas) arrive at the Anton V photo shoot and meet the photographer ─ former Melrose Place resident, Jo Reynolds (Daphne Zuniga).

Jo feels that Riley’s inexperience is preventing Jo from getting her shot, so Jo pushes Riley’s buttons and insists on a topless shoot to help Riley get in touch with her emotions.

Meanwhile, Jonah (Michael Rady) meets with a producer’s development exec, Kendra (guest star Jenna Dewan, “Step Up”), who invites him to »

In The Press: Channing Tatum Makes Empire’s 100 Sexiest Movie Stars List

17 October 2009 7:39 PM, PDT | Channing Tatum Unwrapped | See recent Channing Tatum Unwrapped news »

Channing Tatum has been making a lot of celeb lists this week. On today's "In the Press" post, Empire Magazine have chosen Chan as one of their 100 Sexiest Movie Stars for 2009. Check out what the UK mag had to say about why they picked him...

"Though a bigger deal in America than he is here over in Blighty, this hasn't stopped the often unshirted and shockingly buff Channing from wiggling his way into the nation's sexual subconscious, what with his body-flaunting antics in Step Up and his more recent appearance in cinematic candyfloss GI Joe. Expect more rippling Alabaman abs on your screens for a long while yet. Most alluring as...the body-popping community-service-serving one-man dancing powerhouse that is Tyler Gage in Step Up."

Dear John: Nothing Can Prepare You For Channing Tatum's Tearjerker Breakthrough

15 October 2009 5:45 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »

Channing Tatum himself tweeted news this morning of the first trailer for Dear John, his inaugural entry into the world of heart-tugging, lady-ready, three-hanky multiplex romance. More than a transparent gesture of self-promotion, however, the message signaled an implicit gesture of pride announcing Tatum's arrival just beyond your expectations. It wasn't "Look at me" so much as "Look at this": Love! Drama! Sex! Tension! War! Tears! More tears! What the hell is the dude from Step Up and G.I. Joe doing here? A lot, as it turns out. »

DVD Capsule Review: The Proposal

6 October 2009 1:57 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

The Proposal Quick Thoughts: The Proposal is a formulaic and familiar romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds as a publishing executive and her haggard assistant entering into a marriage of convenience so he can become a big-time literary editor and so she won't get deported back to Canada. The film co-stars Mary Steenburgen, Craig T. Nelson and Betty White as Reynolds' Alaskan family who unwittingly become pawns in the pair's matrimonial ruse.

A massive summertime box office hit, I was pleasantly surprised by roughly 60-percent of director Anne Fletcher's (27 Dresses, Step Up) latest effort. Bullock and Reynolds have great chemistry, their early sparring as they hammer out the details of their illegal contract brought a smile to my face. Unfortunately, the usual romantic comedy cliches intrude and once Pete Chiarelli's script requires the main characters to fall in love things become far less interesting. Still, the movie is hardly a disaster, »

The Proposal Blu-ray review (4/5). Sweet, sincere and heartfelt comedy is a winner.

5 October 2009 12:37 AM, PDT | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »

At first, due to overacted cheeseball romances out there, I was hesitant to view this romantic comedy starring Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Thankfully enough, I was left completely satisfied with a film that never goes completely over the top. Anne Fletcher, helmer of two previous winners “Step Up” and “27 Dresses,” makes this her best credit to date, directing from the screenplay by newcomer Pete Chiarelli. Film is never tiresome to watch with Bullock and Reynolds working well together; an at-first odd combo I didn’t think would work. Laughs come easily as we learn of Margaret Tate (Bullock), the ultimate bitch boss at a New York-based publishing company called Colden Books. Running the place like a dictator, she’s both loathed and avoided by all her subjects, who warn each other at her arrival. Running around to her every beck and call is her assistant Andrew Paxton (Reynolds), an »

Paris and Nicky Make Charity a Family Affair

Paris Hilton had her sister Nicky and mom Kathy by her side last night for a bash at Chloe's La boutique, held to honor the Step Up Women's Network. After spending some time abroad last month, Paris has been doing her fair share to stimulate the local economy, though yesterday's shopping was for a good cause. Paris was off to Vegas today to switch from shopper to seller, as she gears up for the launch of her new sunglasses collection this evening. View 10 Photos › For more photos of Paris, read more.

Paris Ditches Doug for the Night, Parties With Nicky

2 October 2009 11:12 AM, PDT | E! Online | See recent E! Online news »

With all the Jon and Kate dramz and Khloé Kardashian's quickie wedding to Lamar Odom, we almost forgot about Paris Hilton! It's somewhat comforting to see the original tabloid star out and about in her pink Bentley last night, right? Paris hit a party hosted by her sister Nicky for the Step Up Women's network at the Chloé boutique on Melrose Place. She rolled solo, sans boyfriend Doug Reinhardt (Nicky's not his biggest fan). Of course, he's been busy with a project of his own: a lawsuit... Doug filed suit against his former landlord for not returning the fat deposit he put on the Hollywood Hills house he rented last... »

CTU Exclusive: Enter to Win a ‘Step Up 3D’ Crew Cap!!!

30 September 2009 10:58 AM, PDT | Channing Tatum Unwrapped | See recent Channing Tatum Unwrapped news »

As far as I know (although I keep hoping they'll surprise us), neither Channing Tatum nor Jenna Dewan are in the third installment of the extremely popular 'Step Up' franchise they started in 2006. Regardless, I'll be one of the first in line with glasses in hand to see 'Step Up 3D' when it hits theaters next August.

'Step Up 3D' takes the dance battling global; The story follows a passionate, tight-knit group of street dancers (featuring Rick Malambri and Sharni Vinson with the returning actors Adam G. Sevani and Alyson Stoner) who find themselves pitted against the world's best breakdancers in a high-stakes showdown.

I just added a ton of photos from the set of the film to the CTU Photo Gallery. Also, Entertainment Tonight did a behind the scenes report for the first-ever 3D dance drama this past summer. If you missed it, you can watch »

Box Office: Surrogates, Fame, and Pandorum all No Match for Meatballs

29 September 2009 6:53 AM, PDT | Movie Cultists | See recent Movie Cultists news »

Bruce Willis's Surrogates made $15 million this weekend -- paltry for a Willis action movie.  Fame made $10m -- nowhere near musicals like High School Musical 3 ($42m opening) or dance movies like Step Up ($21m opening).  And Pandorum (read my review here) made $4.4m -- another in a long line of September horror disappointments (Sorority Row, Whiteout, Jennifer's Body). Meanwhile, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs declined only 17% from last weekend and took the #1 spot with $25 million -- a good $10 million more than Surrogates made at #2. As I said in last week's box office recap, I ... »
