// September 3rd, 2010 // No Comments » // Trailers, What's Poppin
Robert Rodriguez brings a new breed of anti-hero to the big screen in this hyper-violent adaptation of the “fake” trailer originally featured in the 2007 double-feature exploitation throwback Grindhouse. Machete (Danny Trejo) is a former Mexican Federale who plays by his own rules, and doesn’t answer to anybody. In the wake of a harrowing encounter with feared drug lord Torrez (Steven Seagal), Machete finds himself in Texas, where the shadowy Benz (Jeff Fahey) offers him the opportunity to make some quick cash by assassinating the unscrupulous Senator McLaughlin (Robert DeNiro). When the job goes awry and Machete realizes he’s been set up, he turns to fierce taco queen Luz (Michelle Rodriguez), heavily-armed holy man Padre (Cheech Marin), and trigger-happy socialite April (Lindsay Lohan) to show Benz that he just messed with the wrong Mexican. But before they can get to Benz, Machete’s gang will have to contend with blade-wielding ICE agent Sartana (Jessica Alba), who never met an adversary she couldn’t flay

Erin’s (Drew Barrymore) wry wit and unfiltered frankness charm newly single Garrett (Justin Long) over beer, bar trivia and breakfast the next morning. Their chemistry sparks a full-fledged summer fling, but neither expects it to last once Erin heads home to San Francisco and Garrett stays behind for his job in New York City. But when six weeks of romping through the city inadvertently become meaningful, neither is sure they want it to end. And while Garrett’s friends, Box (Jason Sudeikis) and Dan (Charlie Day), joke about his pre-flight calorie-cutting and his full-time relationship with his cell phone, they don’t like losing their best drinking buddy to yet another rocky romance. At the same time, Erin’s high-strung, overprotective married sister, Corrine (Christina Applegate), wants to keep Erin from heading down an all-too-familiar road. But despite the opposite coasts, the nay-saying friends and family, and a few unexpected temptations, the couple just might have found something like love, and with the help of a lot of texting, sexting and late-night phone calls, they might actually go the distance.

You Never Forget Your First Love.
IN THEATERS AUGUST 27th 2010
”It’s a film that adults will respond to as much as kids. …the two young middle-schoolers have a relationship that is probably more sophisticated and emotionally complex than any romantic relationship we’ve seen in a major studio film all year.” – Patrick Goldstein/Los Angeles Times
When second-graders Bryce and Juli first meet, Juli knows its love. But Bryce isn’t so sure.
Girl-phobic and easily embarrassed, young Bryce does everything he can to keep his outspoken wannabe girlfriend at arm’s length… for the next six years, which isn’t easy since they go to the same school and live across the street from each other. But if Juli finally looks away, will it be Bryce’s turn to be dazzled?
Directed by Oscar® nominee Rob Reiner (“A Few Good Men”, “Stand By Me” and “When Harry Met Sally”)
“Flipped” stars Madeline Carroll (“Swing Vote”) as Juli, and Callan McAuliffe (Australian TV’s “Comedy, Inc.”) as Bryce. Rebecca De Mornay (“Wedding Crashers”) and Anthony Edwards (“ER”) star as Bryce’s parents, Patsy and Steven Loski; and Emmy Award nominee John Mahoney (“Frasier”) as his grandfather, Chet Duncan. Penelope Ann Miller (TNT’s “Men of a Certain Age”) and Emmy Award nominee Aidan Quinn (HBO’s “Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee”) star as Juli’s parents, Trina and Richard Baker; and Kevin Weisman (“Alias”) as her Uncle Daniel.

LFC: EXCLUSIVE!! Cinco Minutos with Jay Hernandez and his take on his new movie ‘TAKERS’
// August 25th, 2010 // No Comments » // Trailers, What's Poppin
This Friday August 27th, 2010 Screen Gems releases the action pack drama ‘Takers’ starring Idris Elba, Jay Hernandez, Matt Dillon, Tip ‘TI’ Harris, Chris Brown, Michael Ealy, Hayden Christensen and Zoe Saldaña.
‘Takers,’ directed by John Luessenhop, revolves around a notorious group of criminals (Idris Elba, Paul Walker, T.I., Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Michael Ealy) who continue to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. They are in and out like clockwork, leaving no evidence behind and laying low in between heists. But when they attempt to pull off one last job with more money at stake than ever before, the crew may find their plans interrupted by a hardened detective (Matt Dillon) and his partner (Jay Hernandez) who are hell-bent on solving the case.
I got to kick it with my good friend Jay Hernandez about his involvement in the movie and here is what he had to say.
LFC: How did you initially get involved with the project ‘Takers’?
JH: CAA sent me the script I read it liked it, sat down with the director talked about it. I found out during our conversation of his vision that the cast was pretty much put together and that was pretty much it, there you go.
LFC: Tell us a something about your character Detective Eddie Hatcher.
JH: Detective Eddie Hatcher is the long time partner of Matt Dillon’s character. His son is sick and he can’t really afford to pay for his medication so he compromises himself. That’s as much as you’re gonna get. You have to check out the movie to see how that unfolds.
LFC: Bro, that sequence when you and Chris Brown are running all over the place is sick! How long did that take to shoot?
JH: I don’t even remember how many days it took, but I want to say about 4 days. All of it was shot downtown in Pershing Square and I want to let you know right now the majority of the stunts were done by Chris himself.
LFC: What are you digging your teeth into next?
JH: I’m currently shooting a feature titled LOL it’s a coming of age story with Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus. I play the love interest of Demi Moore’s character. It’s a remake of a french film with the same title directed and written by Lisa Azuelos who directed the French one as well.
LFC: What are you reading nowadays?
JH: I’m reading L.A. Noir by John Buntin about Los Angeles during it’s dark period where everyone from politicians to police officers were on the take. It reminds me of the movie L.A. Confidential you should check it out.
LFC: No thanks Jay I’ll wait til they make it a movie. I don’t really like to read too much.
