Mother's Day Movie Marathon: 6 Flicks to Watch With Your Mama

Mother's Day is Sunday, and if you've yet to think of something special to do for your mom, consider treating her (or your mother-in-law or the mother of your children) to a marathon of films that will make her smile, sniffle or sing. Be aware that you will not find classic tear-jerkers like "Terms of Endearment" or "Stepmom" on this list, because it's time to branch out!

Here are my six personality-specific picks for the movie-loving mom you want to celebrate. After you've picked which ones you're going to watch, search for the best places to watch them right here on Moviefone.

Gallery | Mother's Day Movie Marathon

1. 'Easy A'



For moms who were cool during adolescence (and/or still are): You might be wondering why a mom would want to watch a high-school comedy, but main character Olive (Emma Stone) has the kind of patient, funny mom (played to perfection by Patricia Clarkson) everybody wishes they had at 16. Rosemary is open about her own teen antics; is willing to listen -- really listen -- to Olive during her whole "Scarlet Letter" experiment; and she makes her kids and her husband laugh on a regular basis. For extra laughs, reminisce about the craziest thing you did as a teenager.

2. 'Brave'



For mothers of daughters: Pixar's Oscar-winning drama gives the term "mama bear" a literal meaning. Scottish princess Merida (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) and her regal mother Queen Elinor (Emma Thompson) don't see eye to eye about much of anything, especially the idea of young Merida picking an acceptable suitor. But when a curse turns the Queen into a bear, Merida finally learns to see things from her mom's point of view -- and vice versa. It's not a "Freaky Friday"-style body swap, but a story of mutual understanding, respect and trust that all mothers and daughters should be able to enjoy.

3. 'Terminator 2: Judgment Day'



For mothers of sons: Plenty of women (and therefore moms) prefer sci-fi action thrillers to romantic comedies, and if your mom appreciates strong, kick-butt heroines who will do anything and everything to protect their kids, she will definitely relate to Sarah Connor (a ripped Linda Hamilton). While some viewers might only remember Hamilton's biceps, mothers will understand the motivation behind the washboard abs and blazing guns -- Sarah's need to protect tween son John against the very real cyborg threat from the future. Don't forget to tell your mom why she's as awesome as Sarah Connor.

4. 'Les Miserables'


For moms who break out into song: Yeah, yeah, I mentioned no tear-jerkers, but I'm breaking that rule for "Les Mis," because mothers who love musicals will: a) be thrilled you were willing to watch a three-hour drama with her, b) probably know most of the musical numbers already, and c) sympathize with Fantine's (Anne Hathaway) desperate need to provide food, shelter, and safety for her daughter, Cosette, even if it means giving up her virtue, and, eventually, her life. To lighten the mood, sing along with the epic numbers like "One Day More" or "Lovely Ladies" in your funniest Broadway voice.

5. 'Bend It Like Beckham'
 

For soccer moms past and present: Any mom who has hauled a mesh bag of soccer balls, a cooler of Gatorade and a minivan full of sweaty kids to and from soccer practice will love seeing Keira Knightley and Parminder Nagra in this British comedy about two girls who just want to "bend it like Beckham," even though their mothers disapprove of their tomboyish pursuits. The scenes between the two girls and their moms (one who's afraid her daughter is a lesbian and one who's afraid playing soccer will ruin her family's standing in the Sikh community) are memorably hilarious.

6. 'Parenthood'


For moms with lots of siblings: Do you have a bunch of aunts, uncles, and cousins you grew up with? Do you have a single mom? How about a mom who has issues with her own mom and dad? Does your mom enjoy big-family comedies? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, your mom is likely to love Ron Howard's iconic 1989 family comedy "Parenthood." Even if you've watched it before, it's one of the best movies to make a "Mother's Day" tradition, because it shows the importance of a strong, connected family that can overcome obstacles big and small.

John Goodman, Ken Watanabe Are Autobots in Transformers: Age of Extinction

The next installment in the Transformers franchise is only a few months away, and yet there is still casting news to report for the movie. Michael Bay announced today that John Goodman and Ken Watanabe will provide the voices for two new Autobots in TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION. Goodman will play Autobot Hound and Watanabe will play Drift. I don’t think there is ever such a thing as bad casting when it comes to these two great actors, so this is all good from where I’m sitting.

Here’s the press release from Michael Bay’s blog:

HOLLYWOOD, CA (May 8, 2014) – Director Michael Bay has tapped John Goodman and Ken Watanabe to voice two all new Autobots in his highly anticipated film “TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION,” the fourth film in the global blockbuster franchise from Paramount Pictures. Goodman and Watanabe will join legendary voice actors Peter Cullen and Frank Welker.

Goodman will play Autobot Hound, Watanabe will play Drift, while Cullen reprises his role as the voice of Optimus Prime, and Welker takes on another new character, Galvatron. “I am pleased to welcome two gifted and versatile actors, John Goodman and Ken Watanabe, to the world of Transformers,” said Bay. “And to reteam with Peter and Frank, who have brought Transformers characters alive from the beginning. I’ve been fortunate to work with some of the best voice talent in the business, and together we will introduce several exciting new robots to fans of the franchise around the world.”

Goodman is one of my favorite actors and it’s always a pleasure to see or hear him on the big screen. His work in MONSTERS, INC. and MONSTERS UNIVERSITY are proof enough that the man can take a role, live-action or animated, and make it his own. Watanabe can next been seen in GODZILLA, but you already knew that.

As Bay mentioned, rounding out the voice-over cast are actors John DiMaggio (Crosshairs), Mark Ryan(Lockdown) while returning is Robert Foxworth (Rathchet) and Reno Wilson (Brains).

TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION opens on June 27, 2014.

Jay Roach in Talks to Direct Ben Affleck and Matt Damon’s Yankees Wife Swap Film THE TRADE

Though Ben Affleck and Matt Damon haven’t appeared together onscreen in starring roles for quite some time, the duo have been trying to get another project off the ground. A few years ago, it looked as though the reunion would happen on a film based on the 1970s baseball scandal involving the swapping of wives between New York Yankees pitchers Fritz Peterson and Mike Kekich. Titled The Trade, the idea was that Damon would direct and star opposite Affleck and Casey Affleck, but their busy schedules forced the project into limbo. Now it appears that Warner Bros. is reviving the project with a new director at the helm: Jay Roach.

Hit the jump for more, including what roles Damon and Affleck will fill in this new iteration of the project.

Per Variety, Recount and Meet the Parents director Jay Roach is in negotiations to helm The Trade for Warner Bros. Neither Ben Affleck or Damon are expected to appear in the film as actors, but they will still produce alongside Jennifer Todd. The most recent draft of the script was written by the Affleck brothers, based on an initial draft by David Mandel.

Though Affleck and Damon were unable to fit The Trade into their schedules as actors, they were still passionate about the project and pushed to find a director in recent weeks. Roach has experience both in high-concept comedy with films like Austin Powers and Dinner for Schmucks, as well as more politically tinged material like Recount andGame Change. It’s unclear what the tone of The Trade would be, but the central premise could really take it anywhere.

Affleck is currently gearing up to don the cowl as Batman in Batman vs. Superman and recently had to push his next directorial effort, Live by Night, back to 2016 in order to accommodate the shooting schedule of the DC Comics adaptation. With the recent news that Justice League will be shot back-to-back with the Man of Steel follow-up, he’ll be quite busy for some time. Damon, meanwhile, has yet to commit to his next feature.

The worst comic book movies since 2000

Worst Comic Book Movies

Comic book movies have potential to be great, but these seem only to exist to pass off as money-makers and big news rather than entertainment. Here is the worst comic book movies since 2000.

“Amazing Spider-Man 2” was released Friday. This summer will feature another “X-Men” movie and the first film debuting the whacky superheroes “The Guardians of the Galaxy.” Meanwhile, DC Comics is planning a “Superman vs. Batman” movie for 2016 and now talking about a “Justice League” movie for 2018. Comic book movies are a hot property right now, and it doesn’t seem to be going away anytime soon.

However, there has been a share of dud comic book movies over the past 15 years. Some sure-fire hits fell quite flat. For every successful “Dark Knight,” there has been a comic book movie that left no room for future sequels, forcing writers to reboot the whole series and start fresh. Here’s a look at five of the worst in recent years.

“Hulk” (2003). Director Ang Lee is known for great films like “Sense & Sensibility,” “Brokeback Mountain” and “Life of Pi.” However, the famed director’s first foray into comic book films was a flat-out disaster. The Hulk didn’t appear until 45 minutes into the movie, as Lee focused far too much on dialogue and psycho-analysis. There was a shocking lack of action that left the target audience – pre-teen boys – squirming in their seats, bored by this talker. Also, the computer-generated Hulk looked terrible. Fans overwhelming rejected the stinker, as it earned an ugly 29 percent approval rating from general viewers at movie-tracking website Rottentomatoes.com.

“Superman Returns” (2006). How awful was Brandon Routh as Super Man? It was so bad that nearly a decade later, the wooden, lifeless actor has still not starred in a major motion picture. Meanwhile, Kate Bosworth (who played Lois Lane) looked frail and thin and sickly. What happened to the strong, athletic woman who starred in the surfer film “Blue Crush” just a few years earlier? Bosworth’s career has likewise tailed off. The plot wasn’t good, and it certainly hurt that the writers decided that Lois Lane had such “loose morals” that she wasn’t sure if Super Man was the father of her son. Average viewers gave the film a sluggish 62 percent approval rating at Rottentomatoes.com.

“X-Men 3: The Last Stand” (2006). Director Bryan Singer was superb in creating the first two films, but he didn’t do this third film, and it showed. The writers here decided to kill off popular characters Cyclops and Professor X. They also brought in a lot of villains that don’t exist in the comic books, which wasn’t popular with fans. With the choice to kill off the main characters, it made it impossible to move forward with a fourth movie. Instead, the whole series was rebooted with a prequel. Critics gave the film a 58 percent approval rating at Rottentomatoes.com.

“Spider-Man 3” (2007). There were too many villains, and too much going on. Tobey Maguire’s “aw-shucks” Peter Parker worked in the first two films, but his brief turn on the dark side in the third movie was an epic failure. When Parker started dancing in a club and courted new girl Gwen Stacey, most fans rolled their eyes and buried their face in their hands. Just like the third “X-Men” film, it felt like there was nowhere new to go, so the series was entirely rebooted at the beginning. Average movie-goers gave the film a dismal 51 percent approval rating at Rottentomatoes.com.

“Green Lantern” (2011). The green super-hero suit looked awful at times. The movie opened with too much back-story. Ryan Reynolds has turned out to not quite be the leading man that Hollywood wants him to be; he is a bit too much of a comic and not enough of an action hero. The story lagged and with the bad computer graphics, the movie fell far short of expectations. The film got a lackluster 26 percent approval rating from film critics at Rottentomatoes.com.

Frozen's Idina Menzel Told She's 'Over The Age' To Play Elpheba In Wicked Movie

Idina Menzel has said that she's been told she's too old to play the lead role of Elpheba in a movie adaptation of Wicked.

The hit stage show has been a continued long-running hit in both London and New York, as well as other locations around the globe - but it was Menzel who made the role so famous.

She starred alongside Kristin Chenowith as Glinda, although it seems like neither will be reprising the parts on the big screen.

Idina Menzel (WENN) Speaking on Watch What Happens Live, she was asked if she'd been approached - and she joked: "Yeah, as the mother of Elphaba."

The Frozen 'Let It Go' singer added: "I would die to be in [the film], except I'm afraid Kristin [Chenoweth] and I… they told us we're a little over the age for that."

The film has still not been officially given the go-ahead, although Universal Pictures chariman Adam Fogelson last year described it as a high priority.

6 Movies We're Looking Forward to: May 2014

After a surprisingly strong past few months, the summer movie going season has finally arrived to (hopefully) crank the dial to 11. May is packed full of a wide variety of exciting releases, from the superhero blockbuster to the R-rated comedy – so much so that it’s hard to pick just one must-see film for the month.

Specifically, there are three films that rank very high not just on our most anticipated list for the month but also for the year, and that alone makes May a very exciting movie-going time. Whether or not those films will deliver is another thing, but that’s the beauty of the last days before summer: everything has the potential to be great.

So, without further ado, here are the 6 films we’re looking forward to in May 2014.

-The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (Release Date: May 2nd)

 

No matter how fans may feel about the latest Spider-Man reboot, it’s pretty clear that Sony is doubling down on the Spidey franchise starting with the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2. If rumors are to be believed, ASM 2 will not only secure Spider-Man’s future by introducing upcoming villains and characters, but it will also set the stage for theSinister Six movie.

We’ll admit, though, that there were a lot of dangling concerns surrounding The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but our early preview of the movie helped squash a lot of those fears. The movie’s also already out in international markets and thus farreception has been mixed, but the general consensus is that Amazing Spider-Man 2is an improvement over the first film. North American audiences will find out for themselves very soon.

Check out the trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
 

-Neighbors (Release Date: May 9th)

 

The Seth Rogen comedy has been a staple of the summer movie season for the last few years, and that trend continues with the release of Neighbors in early May. In this film, Rogen and Rose Byrne play new parents forced todo “battle” with the fraternity living next door – a fraternity that just so happens to be led by Zac Efron.

That premise in and of itself has the potential for Rogen-level hijinks, but early reviews of Neighbors peg the film as a genuine comedic treat. Perhaps it’s Rogen playing a more mature (if that’s possible) character, or maybe it’s the concept of dueling neighbors – whatever the case, Neighbors could be the comedic hit of the summer.

Check out the trailer for Neighbors.
 

-Godzilla (Release Date: May 16th)

 

Ever since its brief tease back at Comic-Con 2012, Godzilla has been at their top of our must-see list. Director Gareth Edwards (Monsters) clearly loves the property and wants to do it justice, and he’s certainly helped make his job easier by populating the film with A-level talent. But really, the true appeal of Godzilla rests with the monsters.

While some of the other summer releases may suffer from overexposure, Godzilla has the benefit of underexposure. That alone makes the intrigue of seeing these relatively mysterious monsters go toe-to-toe that much greater. It also doesn’t hurt that what we’ve seen of the movie thus far looks compelling on multiple levels.

Admittedly, Legendary and Warner Bros’ other giant monster movie, Pacific Rim, did not win over domestic audiences, but the thinking is that a known property like this will have a better chance at success. Regardless, fan anticipation is very high for this one.

Check out the trailer for Godzilla.
 

- X-Men: Days of Future Past (Release Date: May 23rd)

 

When it was first announced, X-Men: Days of Future Past seemed like the perfect idea. Combining the casts of the new First Class franchise and the old X-Men series was nothing short of a dream scenario for fans, and with original director Bryan Singer back on board it felt like FOX had big plans in place. In fact, the studio echoed that sentiment by announcing a follow-up to DOFP, X-Men: Apocalypse, well before the 2014 film even hit theaters.

But, a lot has changed since then, and expectations appear to have changed as well. Some trailers have drummed up a lot of excitement, promising a time-bending adventure that features the biggest superhero ensemble ever put to film, while other promotional materials, like the Quicksilver Carl’s Jr. commercial, have had the opposite effect. That being said, it’s hard to imagine missing out on such a big comic book blockbuster.

Check out the trailer for X-Men: Days of Future Past.
 

-Maleficent (Release Date: May 30th)

 

A big budget, live-action adaptation of Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent is easily one of the riskiest releases of the month. On the one hand, the film follows in the footsteps of Alice in Wonderland, which made a ton of money for Disney, and it has Angelina Jolie in a role she seems born to play, but the rumors surrounding Maleficent‘s troubled production suggest this could be one of those historic failures.

Or maybe the appeal of one of Disney’s most iconic villains will be enough to carry the movie to box office success. The world of Maleficent certainly looks unique, but will only get the movie so far. Either way, we’re curious to see how effects-artist-turned-director Robert Stromberg has brought this untold story to life.

Check out the trailer for Maleficent.
 

-A Million Ways to Die in the West (Release Date: May 30th)

 

Seth MacFarlane is arguably one of the most polarizing figures in comedy: you either love him or you hate him. Thankfully (for him) enough people fall in the former camp, which should help A Million Ways to Die in the West do very well. It also doesn’t hurt that MacFarlane, who also serves as writer, director, and lead actor on the film, has surrounded himself with some quality talent in Liam Neeson, Charlize Theron, and Neil Patrick Harris.

Although the creator of Family Guy is not very well versed in the live-action genre, particularly not as an on-screen actor, his showmanship is hard to overlook. Combine that with this overly anachronistic concept, and there’s the potential for plenty of clever laughs. And, if A Million Ways holds the same appeals as MacFarlane’s last film, Ted, it could end up making huge bank at the box office.

Check out the trailer for A Million Ways to Die in the West.
 

-Conclusion

Considering The Amazing Spider-Man 2 is already doing great business overseas it’s safe to say the film has a decent chance of exceeding its predecessor’s performance at the domestic box office. But the bigger question is whether it will be the highest grossing movie of the month. To be honest, while we hope that Godzilla does well, chances are this is a two-movie race between Spider-Man and X-Men, with both showing strengths and weaknesses.

There’s also the potential throwdown between Neighbors and A Million Ways to Die in the West – two R-rated comedies geared at similar audiences. Will the ever-consistent Rogen beat out MacFarlane, whose 2012 film Ted is one of the highest grossing R-rated comedies ever? And what about Maleficent? Will Disney’s big budget, live-action gamble pay off? Those answers and more will be answered in about 30 days.

Once again, here are the 6 films we’re looking forward to this month:

May 2nd: The Amazing Spider-Man 2
May 9th: Neighbors
May 16th: Godzilla
May 23rd: X-Men Days of Future Past

May 30th: Maleficent, A Million Ways to Die in the West

Leonardo DiCaprio is one of the greatest actors of our time. He has appeared in more than 30 movies, the latest being The Great Gatsby. He also stars in The Wolf Of Wall Street, which is completed and scheduled for release in 2014.

Whether he is playing the lovesick artist Jack Dawson in Titanic, the great Howard Hughes in The Aviator or an elusive impersonator in Catch Me If You Can, Leonardo DiCaprio has played a number of different roles, and has definitely not fallen into the stereotype fold.

With some great performances by him in some of his earlier movies, like Titanicand What's Eating Gilbert Grape, and more violent roles in later movies like The Departed and Blood Diamond, pretty much everyone loves at least one Leonardo DiCaprio movie, if not most of them.

On this page you can see what I consider to be the finest movies that Leonardo DiCaprio has appeared in. You can also buy them on DVD or Blu-ray from Amazon.com, and also find Leonardo DiCaprio collectibles including signed photographs and other memorabilia.

The story is told through the eyes of one of the survivors, and is expertly cast, including Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Maggie Smith, Kathy Bates, Bill Paxton and Billy Zane

‘Frozen’ Reclaims Top Spot in Home Video Charts

A surge of Easter shopping elevated several family titles in the home video sales arena for the week ending April 20, with Disney’s megahit “Frozen” returning to the top spot for the fourth time in five weeks. The animated film topped Nielsen VideoScan’s First Alert sales chart, which tracks overall DVD and Blu-ray Disc combined sales, and Nielsen’s dedicated Blu-ray Disc sales chart for three consecutive weeks upon its debut a month ago before being displaced by Warner’s “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug” for a week.

The top new release, Universal’s “Ride Along,” debuted at No. 2 on First Alert and No. 3 on the Blu-ray chart, where “Smaug” dropped a slot to No. 2.

Another new release from Universal, the animated “The Nut Job,” bowed at No. 4 on both charts, while 20th Century Fox’s Ben Stiller comedy “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” came in at No. 6 on both charts.

Disney’s animated “The Pirate Fairy” took the No. 5 slot on both charts in its third week in stores.

Home Media Magazine’s rental chart for the week was topped by Warner’s “Grudge Match,” which was available early at Redbox kiosks rather than the usual 28-day delay for Warner titles. “Ride Along,” “Nut Job” and “Mitty” did not appear on the rental chart as they also are from studios that delay titles to kiosks for a month.
The only other new release on the rental chart was Anchor Bay’s “Philomena,” at No. 14. “Philomena” was No. 12 on the First Alert sales chart.

John Latchem is managing editor of Home Media Magazine.

The German Doctor- I measure and weigh what interests me

The German Doctor

“I measure and weigh what interests me.”

Swift shot: Based on the novel Wakolda, written by the film’s director Lucia Puenzo, The German Doctor slowly beats into a terrifying conclusion. Set in 1960 Patagonia, in the German Bariloche region, a reclusive doctor makes the acquaintance of a family rewinding their lives. Loosely based on actual events, as the facts are shrouded by mystery, the story serves as a lesson on trust and lost innocence.

Alex Brendemuhl portrays notorious Nazi doctor, Josef Mengele . . . often referred to as “The Angel of Death.” He is making his way through some treacherous roads and asks to follow a family with a young girl he becomes intrigued with, Lilith. She is very small for her age, feeble really, and he has it in his mind to help her blossom through the miracle of genetics. That would all be wonderful, if he wasn’t a complete monster. Lilith’s mother, Eva (Natalia Oreiro) and father, Enzo (Diego Peretti) are wary at first, but eventually develop separate trusts with the mysterious doctor.

This was Florencia Bado’s first film, and she plays the innocent, yet naively curious, Lilith exceptionally well. You can see her flirting with death, literally, and you aren’t ever quite sure if she knows just how dangerous her careless encounters with the doctor truly are. There is a very disturbing chemistry between the two characters that is hard to describe without seeing. It’s bone chilling.

As Mengele traipses along a web of locally hidden war criminals, he finds a way to seduce each of the main characters. Eva becomes pregnant, with twins, and he offers to help her along. To Lilith, he promises puberty. To Enzo, he even offers a contract making incredibly life like dolls that provide a creepy juxtaposition to the unnatural horrors in the film. Ultimately, Mengele is a spider, shedding his skin . . . for a time, while he tinkers around with another experiment, where Lilith’s family is his zoo.

Nora Eldoc (Elena Roger), one of the teachers at the German school, dances with death. She appears to be on to the doctor and is determined to see him captured by the Israeli intelligence network, Mossad. If you know Mengele’s fate, there are no twists in the story. Because this isn’t a Hollywood film, there are subtitles, and you are required to grasp subtlety and endure a deliberate pulse of panic.

The German Doctor is a story that will disturb you on many levels. While it is not a horror film, the story is horrific, because the events feel all to real. At least one of the characters, and history backs this, doesn’t escape the web of evil. Watch this one with the understanding that it won’t leave your soul anytime soon.
