Last night in LALA Land, Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine all showed up to Grauman’s Chinese Theater for the premiere of their new flick, This Means War.  Of course we have pretty pictures of the pretty people for you to ogle look at.

Not a huge Chris Pine fan, as I may have mentioned a time or two, but he was looking SHARP last night. Love the checks on checks with the polka-dotted pocket silk. Mmm Mm!  Tom looked a little scruffy, like a  moonshiner someone found in the Ozarks and stuffed into an expensive suit. Perhaps he’s doing reshoots for The Wettest County. I’m not saying he didn’t look good, but I’m always sad when I can’t see his gorgeous mouth. I’m shallow that way.

Not a fan of Reese’s dress, and don’t get me started on Chelsea Handler’s weird Where’s Waldo/Pippi Longstocking hybrid.  Actually I don’t want to talk about the women at all. Angela Bassett looked fantastic as did Melanie Lynskey. I want her cute pink shoes! For the record, Abigail Spencer, soon to be seen in Of Men and Mavericks with one Gerard Butler, is gorgeous!

I’ve decided I don’t care which man ends up with America’s sweetheart. She doesn’t deserve either one of them, not to mention from what I’ve been reading today, the movie has been marketed all wrong (*Kevin McAllister face slap* I’m shocked!) and it’s not actually a romance at all but a balls-out guys action comedy. Which frankly, THIS female would much rather see than some drippy rom-com anyway.

To that end, let’s get to the treats!

The first is another new clip from the film. We’ve seen parts of it before, but now we get more of the conversation wherein our heroes discover they are dating the same woman and what they PLAN to do about it. The clip is called “Gentleman’s Agreement”, but I think we know where we’ll end up.

The next clip is *NSFW* so put in the earphones and make sure the boss or the kiddies aren’t looking. It’s not THAT bad, but you can’t say I didn’t warn you. (For the record, UK sites don’t even need to post warnings. They’re okay with a little salty language and bare bums).  I can only hope this clip makes it to the special features of the dvd. I’m going to need to own this.

This Means War opens February 17. For reals. Enjoy the pics!

The Vow got a red carpet premiere last night in LA at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. On hand were stars Channing Tatum (who brought along the missus, Jenna Dewan) and Rachel Adams (who was, sadly, without beau Michael Sheen-at least on the red carpet) as well as the film’s director Michael Sucsy.

The Vow, rolls into theaters this Friday February 10 just in time for your Valentine’s Day viewing pleasure. As far as romance goes, it may be the only cinematic game in town. Despite the noise they made about moving the film TO Valentine’s Day, Fox has now punked out and pushed This Means War BACK to Friday February 17.  Apparently Fox is nervous because the film isn’t “tracking” as well as it they think it should.  There seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the decision but it signals a lack of faith in their product, in my opinion.  Tom Hardy, Chris Pine and Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon can’t stand up to Rachel McAdams and Channing Tatum??This  means This Means War must really be bad.  Regardless, they’d already spent the money and marketed the film for February 14 what difference will three days make?  (I’m in the event planning business. I tell clients all the time, the more changes you make, the greater the probability that something will get screwed up. I believe this applies here as well.)

Oh well, last night was about The Vow.  We have some pretty pics of McAdams and Tatum for your viewing pleasure. (And I didn’t even call him Tatum-tot.)

What did I tell you? More goodies from McG’s This Means War have surfaced. This time they are in the form of an extended clip that gives us a much better idea of what we can expect from the film.

I have to say, after watching the clip below, which basically amounts to a few scenes sown together, some bits we’ve seen and a lot that we haven’t, I’m back on board with this movie. While I’m still a little disappointed by the fact that it’s rated PG-13, if all they did was trim a few of Chelsea Handler’s lines, then I don’t think we’re getting anything all different from what was originally intended.

I laughed out loud in a few places and what wasn’t outright hilarious was at least entertaining. There seems to be genuine chemistry between the participants and while no one has reinvented any wheels here, as far as “romantic” comedies or action comedies or whatever hyphenate you want to attach to this, go, This Means War does at least appear to be a well made example.

I particularly enjoyed the paint ball warfare scene, (I think we get pretty much the whole thing here) especially the blue “paint bomb”. And I still can’t figure out which one Witherspoon’s Lauren Scott ends up with! Actually, knowing that McG filmed three different endings, I’m leaning toward #3, wherein she ends up with neither of them. That would probably be the most realistic outcome after all of the hi-jinks come to light, and you know they will, but then again, realism is the last thing we should be looking for here. (Do we really want Tuck and FDR to end up in prison for misallocation of government resources? No. We do not.)

Enjoy the eight minutes and fifty eight seconds worth of Tom Hardy…oh yeah and Chris Pine and Reese Witherspoon…and a little Chelsea Handler. (Courtesy of French site Allocine via AintItCool.)

New Clips have surfaced for McG’s This Means War! We’re into February now so the marketing campaign is gonna start getting serious. Fox has decided it wants a piece of the Valentine’s Day pie and it’s going after it with gusto.

The Restaurant:

Flaws:

“and Tuck? He’s British”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

EXACTLY!! On what planet would a woman consider Tom Hardy’s ‘British-ness’ a flaw?? That’s some Stretch Armstrong-type reaching right there. If that’s the only flaw she can come up with, he had better win this battle.  (Seriously, Tuck and FDR? What are they sock puppets? Who came up with those names? This movie is going to crush my soul, I just know it.)

This Means War opens on February 14. I guess I have to give up on that new poster, huh?

The impossibly attractive trio of Tom Hardy, Reese Witherspoon and Chris Pine brought their new movie, This Means War to London’s Odeon Cinema Kensington tonight, January 30 for the World Premiere. 

Not sure about Reese’s dress but her hair was fabulous. Okay, I’ll admit it, Chris Pine is cute. He’s got gorgeous eyes, but I’m sorry, If I had to pick between them, Tom Hardy would win, without a glimmer of a doubt.

So who does Reese end up with at the end of the movie? Not even the stars know. Apparently director McG shot three different endings so that the truth didn’t leak out before the release.

.Witherspoon told Empire magazine, "We shot endings where I could end up with Tom, or I could end up with Chris, or I could end up alone… ", while Pine deadpanned, "Or the one where Tom and I could end up together. It's a very progressive film."

Pine also admits there was plenty of rivalry on the set as he and Hardy competed with one another to impress Witherspoon. "It's like being in the schoolyard: a beautiful girl and two red-blooded guys. It was basically a constant flirt-off – who could charm Reese and make her laugh the most… Tom won on the accent and lips front. I won on eyebrows and self-deprecation…Ladies love the accent and I'm not packing any heat in that department. There'd be no shame losing to Tom. If I had to lose to anyone, it's fine if I lose to Tom Hardy. Of course, that would never happen. Ever."  I beg to differ…Not to mention he could probably f*ck you up six ways to Sunday.

In any case, we’ll all have to go to the theater on February 14th to find out the answer to the burning question of which guy gets the girl. (They certainly aren't giving anything away with their body language.) The suspense is killing me! Enjoy the pics!

I bring you your daily Tom Hardy with the news that This Means War has once again gotten a new rating. The MPAA has restored the treasured and zealously sought-after PG-13 to the film after a few of Chelsea Handler’s sex-themed jokes were ‘trimmed’. (While I’m quite sure that will piss off Ms. Handler, I’ve seen her new sitcom and frankly, it seems like a fitting punishment.) I can’t imagine that these jokes made that much difference to the whole of the movie, so I don’t think it will suffer too badly (just a guess), but the idea that a few words are what we need to shield those under the age of 17 from while we are free to show them explosions, guns and general violent mayhem, not to mention two grown men behaving like idiotic bullies who throw friendship out the window all the while wasting government resources  in their quest to get what they want and that’s acceptable. Yes, I know I’m being literal. I realize it’s a movie and it’s supposed to be funny. I’m not trying to spoil the fun, just trying to make a point.

Moving on, we have a clip wherein Chris Pine lies about knowing anything about the works of Gustav Klimt and Tom Hardy attempts to foil the plan. Comedic hijinks are sure to ensue.  Seriously, I do think this looks funny. I like that it’s not obvious from any of these clips or trailers which one of the two Reese Witherspoon ends up with. (Of course I know which one I’m rooting for.)

There's also a new international trailer with a little bit of footage we haven't seen before. I really am going to have to see this if for no other reason than to find out who gets the girl.

This Means War is still opening on February 14 as of this writing, but we’ll keep you abreast of any more changes to schedule or rating. Now can we get a decent poster?
