In the gripping thriller “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Matthew McConaughey stars as Michael “Mick” Haller, a slick, charismatic Los Angeles criminal defense attorney who operates out of the back of his Lincoln Continental sedan. Having spent most of his career defending petty, gutter-variety criminals, Mick unexpectedly lands the case of a lifetime: defending a rich Beverly Hills playboy (Ryan Phillippe) who is accused of attempted murder.
However, what initially appears to be a straightforward case with a big money pay-off swiftly develops into a deadly match between two masters of manipulation and a crisis of conscience for Haller.
Directed by Brad Furman from a screenplay by John Romano, based on the novel by Michael Connelly, the cast also includes Marisa Tomei, Josh Lucas, John Leguizamo, Michael Peña, with Bryan Cranston and William H. Macy.

So what do Lipton Brisk Iced Tea & Robert Rodriguez have in common? Yup, you guessed it. Machete a.k.a. Danny Trejo.
It is with no doubt that social media is more prevalent than ever before and a lot more brands are engaging with consumers this way. Brisk® knows this, “Our consumers are engaging with the brand in a deeper manner than ever before,” says Eric Fuller, Senior Brand Manager, PepsiCo. “The visually arresting nature of stop motion animation coupled with the richness of the content and attention to detail is resulting in multiple views and a high degree of pass along.”
But how do you reach an audience that has the fastest growing population in the U.S., more specifically the younger Latino audience?
Create a clay animation campaign (claymation) with the Mexican-American Machete star and action hero.
“A partnership with Danny Trejo is a natural fit for us because his bold body of work aligns with the Brisk brand,” says Javier Farfan, Director of Cultural Branding, PepsiCo. “He’s an iconic hero and is relevant, authentic and credible to his fans.”
“As one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood, Trejo is not only the first Latino super-hero, but also a hero among the masses,” says Robert Rodriguez, Director of Machete. “Trejo represents strength and resilience, and is an inspiration to multicultural audiences.”

“Hereafter” tells the story of three people who are haunted by mortality in different ways. Matt Damon stars as George, a blue-collar American who has a special connection to the afterlife. On the other side of the world, Marie (Cécile de France), a French journalist, has a near-death experience that shakes her reality. And when Marcus (Frankie/George McLaren), a London schoolboy, loses the person closest to him, he desperately needs answers. Each on a path in search of the truth, their lives will intersect, forever changed by what they believe might—or must—exist in the hereafter.
The film also stars award-winning French actress Cécile de France (“A Secret”) as Marie, and twins Frankie and George McLaren. The international cast also includes Jay Mohr (“Street Kings,” TV’s “Gary Unmarried”), Bryce Dallas Howard (“Eclipse,” “Spider-Man 3”), Marthe Keller, Thierry Neuvic and Derek Jacobi.
“Hereafter” is produced by Eastwood, multiple Oscar®-nominated producer Kathleen Kennedy (“The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Munich,” “E.T.”) and two-time Oscar® nominee Robert Lorenz (“Letters from Iwo Jima,” “Mystic River”). Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Peter Morgan and Tim Moore served as executive producers.
So I go to check out a screening of ‘Buried’ directed by Rodrigo Cortes, cause I’ve been hearing some buzz about it for a minute. Sundance, this past January was giving it big ups and even a few weeks ago the campaign poster had crazy praises. That’s a good look for a movie cause you want good buzz generating on your project I get it. That’s why I was so looking forward to the screening.
I went to check it out with a couple of friends of mine here in Miami. The West 42 press team is always on point and it’s a fun space to watch a flick.
I’m not going to give away too much about it cause I really want you to go see it.
But this is what I’m going to say to Rodrigo, Dude!! You fucking did an entire movie in a box what you did was amazing!!!
One location yet he kept it interesting. He shot it so intimate and it worked for him. I sat there like a little kid in the movies. Lost in Paul’s (Ryan Reynolds) world with him. I think you guys will enjoy this movie and appreciate Ryan Reynolds work as an actor. The kid is doing good for himself. You’ll also hear some familiar voices in the movie. I got two out of three voices right, cause I’m cool like that.
I say go SEE BURIED this weekend, but…….be careful if you are claustrophobic.
Buried is in select theaters on September 24th!!!
A man is caught in a desperate race against time in this claustrophobic thriller from director Rodrigo Cortés. Paul Conroy (Ryan Reynolds) is an American truck driver who has been contracted to work in Iraq, and while delivering a load of kitchen equipment as part of a humanitarian aid program, he’s captured by insurgent guerrillas who intend to hold him hostage. Paul is struck unconscious, put into a coffin-like box, and buried, and when he comes to, all he has to help him get out is a lighter, a cell phone, a pen, and a jackknife. Trapped underground with a limited supply of air, Paul frantically calls his family, his employer, and American military and political representatives, trying to remain calm as his chances of survival slip farther away with each passing minute. Featuring the voice talent of Robert Paterson, Stephen Tobolowsky, Samantha Mathis, and Erik Palladino, with all the action taking place within the underground box, Buried received its world premiere at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
