Guess what kids? We’re not getting Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and stone-faced Bruce Willis saving the world or that awesome ninja sword fight on the side of a mountain in G.I. Joe: Retaliation until next year! Why? Because they’ve decided to post-convert the thing to 3D!  That’s always a good idea! Not.  I remember wondering why it wasn’t in 3D in the first place. I guess I shouldn’t have done it out loud. Apparently director Stephen Sommers heard me.

Well, quickly jumping in to fill the void left by a big loud explosion-filled action movie, is Seth McFarlane’s Ted, the foul-mouthed CGI teddy bear comedy know knew they wanted. Ted, which had been scheduled for July 13 will now be released on June 29.  It will give the comedy a head-start on the Independence Day movie-going orgy which gives it four days to make some do-re-mi before The Amazing Spider-Man trounces everything in its path on July 3.

Here’s a new Ted poster that Universal just dropped on us, but it has the wrong date on it (oops, there goes the promo budget), as well as some pics to celebrate the new release date. Ted stars Mark Wahlberg, Mila Kunis and the voice of Seth McFarlane as Ted.

…dear lord what will we see next?

Well, last week we showed you the engagement, today we have the wedding of Mila Kunis and Clive Owen…or at least their characters…as they film Guillaume Canet’s Blood Ties in New York.  The nuptials  took place at St. Barbara’s Church in Brooklyn on Monday May 14.

I was worried about discussing the scene in question (and the engagement scene before it), but since if you have a computer and you’re hooked into the web (and you’d have to be to be reading this) then you’ll be bombarded with it anyway. Apparently no one else felt any such compunction. Oh well, it’s not like the courtship and wedding of these two characters is the crux of the movie.

Blood Ties is about two brothers who end up heading down two different paths in life–one as a police officer, the other as a criminal.

Director Canet co-wrote the film with James Gray (We Own the Night), has assembled an eclectic cast including  Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, his r/l partner, as one of the film’s other love interests. (Interestingly enough, Cotillard just finished filming a movie with Gray as director. We brought you set pics of theUntitled James Gray Project of Cotillard with costar Joaquin Phoenix.) Billy Crudup who plays the younger brother, along with  Zoe Saldana, Lili Taylor, Noah Emmerich, Eve Hewson and James Caan.  Filming has just begun on Blood Ties and it has no confirmed release dates other than “2013”. We’ll bring you more as we get it.

…And now I have photographic evidence.  Kunis was spotted on the Brooklyn set of Guillaume Canet’s Blood Ties yesterday, May 11 with her costar Clive Owen.  Read no further if you don’t want to know what the scene was about.

Blood Ties is about two brothers who end up heading down two different paths in life–one as a police officer, the other as a criminal. Blood Ties is a remake of Jacques Maillot's Les Liens Du Sang.

Clive plays the elder brother, the ex-con. Mila Kunis plays his love interest. The scene they are filming is obviously one in which Owen’s character asks Kunis’ to marry him.  We have many pics below of the two of them kissing. (‘Scuse me, I’ll be in my photoshop)

Clive Owen was seen brandishing a gun and riding around on the back of a motorcycle and…gasp… smoking (that last was a joke. This is a judgment-free zone.) while shooting scenes for his new action movie Blood Ties in the Green Point section of Brooklyn.

Set in Brooklyn during the 1970’s, Owen plays an ex-con and Billy Crudup plays the  younger brother who has to ask Owen to go back into the underworld to help out the family.

A pair of brothers end up heading down two different paths in life–one as a police officer, the other as a criminal. Blood Ties is a remake of Jacques Maillot's Les Liens Du Sang.

The crime thriller that will be the English-language debut from Guillaume Canet, the Cesar award-winning director of acclaimed thriller Tell No One, which starred Kristin Scott Thomas.

Canet, who co-wrote the film with James Gray (We Own the Night), has cast his life partner, Oscar winner Marion Cotillard, as one of the film’s love interests, along with Mila Kunis. Zoe Saldana and James Caan have also been cast. The Hollywood Reporter announced a couple of days ago that a young actor called Austin Williams will play Owen as a teenager. Williams made his debut in Robert DeNiro’s The Good Shepherd playing Matt Damon as a youngster.

Filming has just begun on Blood Ties and it has no confirmed release dates other than “2013”. We’ll bring you more as we get it.

On Monday we showed you the red-band trailer for Seth McFarlane’s big screen feature debut, Ted with Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis.  Today we have the green-band version, the one approved for all audiences. While it’s still not funny, at least it’s less offensive. I am by no means a prude but the red-band version included scenes and dialogue that seemed to be crude just for the sake of it. And that’s not funny, it’s sophomoric.

As I said before, I wanted to like Ted for a number of reasons like the fact that it was both filmed in Boston, and I love seeing my city on the big-screen, and it stars one of Boston’s favorite sons, Mark Wahlberg.

The premise involves John who, as a ten year old, makes a Christmas miracle happen by bringing his one and only friend to life, his teddy bear. The two grow up together and John must then choose to stay with his girlfriend or keep his friendship with his crude and extremely inappropriate teddy bear, Ted.

Again, the joke isn’t that John is the only who can see him, it’s that he’s an obnoxious little sh*t, not the cuddly toy we tend to think of when we think of teddy bears. And because McFarlane voices Ted and is doing what he considers to be a “Boston accent” he sounds exactly like Peter Griffin (of McFarlane’s Family Guy). Wahlberg, for his part, may be what saves this movie, if it can be saved.  Acting opposite a CGI bear, he may be doing his best work.

Ted also stars Joel McHale, Giovanni Ribisi, Jessica Stroup and Patrick Warburton. It opens in the US (I expect a Boston premiere) on July 13 and 3^rd August in the UK.

I really wanted to like this red-band trailer for Ted, Seth McFarlane’s live-action directorial debut. I’m a fan of McFarlane’s work as the creator and most prolific voice artist for television’s Family Guy, although I admit, I stopped watching a long time ago, as well as his latest incarnation as a singer of jazzy standards and big-band era ballads.

I also wanted to like it because it was both filmed in Boston, and I love seeing my city on the big-screen and it stars one of Boston’s favorite sons, Mark Wahlberg.

John makes a Christmas miracle happen by bringing his one and only friend to life, his teddy bear. The two grow up together and John must then choose to stay with his girlfriend or keep his friendship with his crude and extremely inappropriate teddy bear, Ted.

I wanted to like it, but  I just didn’t.  What seemed like a cute love story in the first minute of the trailer took a drastic turn for the worse with the appearance of Ted, the CGI bear voiced by McFarlane. I guess I thought part of the joke would be that only Wahlberg’s character saw the teddy bear from his childhood come to life, kind of like Jimmy Stewart and his rabbit, Harvey. But not so. Everyone sees him, and apparently everyone accepts him. The joke is that he’s an obnoxious little sh*t, not the cuddly toy we tend to think of when we think of teddy bears.

Watch the trailer and see for yourself.

So? Is it just me? Maybe this is right up your comedy alley. I just expected more from McFarlane’s first feature, than a bunch of frat-house level jokes strung together. This trailer may have debuted at Funny or Die, but it’s not funny.

Ted, costarring Mila Kunis, Giovanni Ribisi, Patrick Warburton, Joel McHale and Jessica Stroup, comes to theaters July 13 in the US and 3^rd August in the UK.

Mila Kunis made good on her promise to attend the Marine Corps Ball just like her Friends With Benefits costar Justin Timberlake.

Back in June, Sgt. Scott Moore published a YouTube video asking Mila to accompany him to the Marine Corps Ball in Greenville, North Carolina and in July Mila accepted . 

Last night Mila was whisked from the airport to the convention centre where her handsome date waited for her. Judging by the pictures they enjoyed themselves and he looked to be a little bit in a haze. I mean imagine you ask a Hollywood actress to attend a ball with you and she accepts? How surreal would that be for him?

And didn't Mila look stunning in her dress? Such a beautiful girl on both the inside and out!
