According to Tyler Perry, casting reality-television star Kim Kardashian in his latest film “Temptation” may help to portray her as a ‘role model.’ Who knew?

Yahoo reports the filmmaker has received major backlash for giving Kardashian her first major acting gig in his latest film.

Many people believe that the backlash is justified based on Kadashian’s claim to fame as an amateur-porn-star-turned-reality-television-starlight. Perry, however, sees things differently.

“I said to one of my producers, ‘who else is out there that young people are looking up to?’” Perry said. | Full Story

In addition, the recent average rating given by the show’s target age group of adults ages 18-49 is at 2.8, an embarrassing low for the so-called reality talent scouting series. | Full Story

With the Oscars wrapping up a few days ago, it’s hard not to reflect over the nominees, winners and how somethings didn’t seem to add up. Ben Affleck isn’t nominated for Best Director, but Argo wins Best Picture.  I guess they loved everything about the film,  just not necessarily the directing. Sounds crazy, right?

This year, the category of best actor caught my attention and sent an alarm through my film geek nervous system. | Full Story

Often times the SAG Awards set the tone for the rest of the award season, or better yet, the Oscars. In past years, many winners who had the chance to walk across the stage at the Screen Actors Guild Awards saw similar success at the Oscar.

Back in October, Ben Affleck’s Argo was a heavy topic when referring to the Oscar for Best Picture. That was until Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln hit theaters the next month, stealing the show, causing many critics to jump on its bandwagon. | Full Story

The Dark Knight Rises 2012 Biggest Movie Let Down

There may be many people who might disagree with this critical assessment of The Dark Knight Rises since it was the biggest films of 2012. Heck, Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight trilogy generated a huge following of loyal fans, some of which probably believe that Nolan can do no wrong, but keep an open mind and discover why The Dark Knight Rises was ultimately a weak movie.

Last year, A Separation became the first Iranian film to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language feature. But this year, Variety reports, the country will not be submitting a film for consideration for the award (the question of whether it makes any sense at all that this is the way movies are put in the running for the award is an entirely separate matter).

Iranian culture minister Muhammad Hosseini explained the boycott as a response to “an intolerable insult to the Prophet of Islam,” referring to the now-infamous trailer for the anti-Islam film Innocence of Muslims. | Full Story
