'Forrest Gump' is a tale of a dim-witted but good-natured man who finds himself in the middle of many of the influential events of post-World War II America.
The 1994 film was a huge hit, earning close to 700 million at the box office and winning six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Everybody's always picking on Michael Bay. You know, because of 'Transformers, 'Transformers 2' and pretty much every other film he's directed. But give the guy a chance, maybe get to know him a little bit and then go watch 'Pain and Gain' not with the burning humiliation that this is a movie from the 'Armageddon' guy, but that you're watching a film made by the man who directed your favorite milk commercial. Yes, that milk commercial. Here are 10 things you didn't know about Michael Bay.
‘Iron Man 3’ opens May 3. That’s less than a week away, people! Are you excited? We’re excited.
Sure, we’re looking forward to ‘Man of Steel,’ the new Superman flick directed by Zack Snyder but you’ll forgive us for admitting that our anticipation for the movie is a little lessened by the fact that the last three Superman movies were huge freakin' disappointments.
On April 22, it was reported that Michael "I Make Things Go Boom" Bay, apologized to a reporter from The Miami Herald for the third act of his 1998 smash, 'Armageddon.' He said:
In case you're living under a rock (not under The Rock...that would be weird), then you probably know that 'Pain and Gain'is the latest thrillride from action-meister Michael Bay. Only this time, Bay is back in the guns-and-gags mode of his hit 'Bad Boys' franchise.
Are you wondering how Bay tackles comedy? Interested to see if The Rock and Mark Wahlberg have good tough guy chemistry? Well, you're in luck, because we have a hilarious and highly NSFW 'Pain and Gain' clip just for you.
Jon Favreau, the man behind the first two 'Iron Man' films and 'Cowboys and Aliens,' is looking to go the indie route with his next feature. Favreau is currently in negotiations to write, star and direct the indie film 'Chef.'
Scarlett Johansson is the latest star set to kick some butt for director Luc Besson -- the actress has just signed on to star in 'Lucy,' in which she plays a drug mule with a serious kick.
Nicki Minaj is going to be in movies now, guys. The hip hop and pop star is set to make her acting debut alongside Cameron Diaz in 'The Other Woman.'
The cast of 'Wayne's World' recently attended a special screening of the film, which just celebrated its 21st anniversary. Meaning if you are a child of the '90s, you are officially getting old.
Let's check in on how Mike Myers, Dana Carvey and the rest the stars of the comedy classic are aging.
Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to the glorious world of Ghanaian posters for Hollywood blockbusters.
I watch a lot of 'Project Runway.' My wife likes it -- and, yeah, I like it too. A show dedicated to fashion design that features creative and powerful women is a weird thing to think about while watching a Michael Bay movie but that's exactly what I did during 'Pain and Gain.' Bay could learn a thing or two from that show about editing. Not in the cinematic, cutting shots together sense; that he's got. This is a different kind of editing.
It's the kind that is often called out by the 'Runway' judges when they tell the contestants (I'm paraphrasing), "This is too busy. You need to edit. That blue fuzzy hat that looks like a tribble distracts from the gorgeous, ornately sequined dress. The dress is enough. You don't need the tribble hat. Edit."
A Michael Bay movie -- particularly 'Pain & Gain' -- is a sequined dress with a blue tribble hat.
