  • Adam McKay Talks Trolling with Will Ferrell for ‘Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters’

    Will Ferrell and Adam McKay on the set of DreamWorks' 'Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy'

    Remember when little Hansel and Gretel almost got eaten by a witch in the Grimm Brothers fairy tale that bares their name? Did you ever wonder what might happen when they grew up with a witch-hating chip on their shoulder the size of a magic forest? Adam McKay apparently did.

    Though he's better known for directing and writing such comedy classics as "Anchorman" (2004) and "Step Brothers" (2008), McKay is also a prolific producer. Alongside his brother-in-funny Will Ferrell, McKay runs the production shingle Gary Sanchez Productions. Of course comedy comes first, but the creative team wants to make all sorts of movies – including good time gore fests like "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters," which arrives on home entertainment this week.

    Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton play brother and sister in arms, who, years after their gingerbread house ordeal, now travel the land as bounty hunters, looking for retribution and clues to their unsavory past. Don't worry: it's not as dark as it sounds. If you love filling in the blanks of fairytales past with pulpy, tongue-in-cheek gore, or if you thought the Brothers Grimm needed a lot more high-tech weaponry, then you should definitely spend some quality time.

    But first, check out what McKay has to say about the flick. Though he's in the thickets of editing "Anchorman: The Legend Continues,"

  • Stuntman Robert Nagle Drives Right On the Edge for ‘Fast 6′

    Universal Pictures' 'Fast & Furious 6'

    As a car guy and a stunt man, the dream job has to be working on the "Fast and Furious" franchise, right?

    Fortunately, former road racer turned stunt man Robert Nagle doesn't have to dream about it, because he's lived it. Nagle's been a stunt man on the last two "Fast" films, #5 and #6, and he's lived to tell us about it!

    Nagle parlayed his contacts from the road racing circuit into high-performance driving work on such films as "Collateral," "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby," "Drive," "The Dark Knight Rises," "Jack Reacher," "A Good Day to Die Hard," and more. And miraculously, through it all, his worst injury has been a broken thumb.

    However, one of the stunts on

  • Queen B Beyoncé Steps Up to the Mic as ‘Epic’ Queen Tara

    Beyonce Knowles recording for 20th Century Fox's 'Epic'

    Besides sporting one of the most epic story lines of the summer, animated or otherwise, Blue Sky's "epic" also lays claim to one of the most epic vocal casts around. So it's properly named.

    If the film merely boasted Josh Hutcherson, Amanda Seyfried, Christoph Waltz, Aziz Ansari, Jason Sudekis, Pitbull, Collin Ferrell, and Steven Tyler, it would be impressive in its own right.

    But what pushes the vocal cast of "epic" beyond really good and into the realm of epic?

  • Jaimie Alexander and Rodrigo Santoro in Lionsgate's 'The Last Stand'

    If Jaimie Alexander has somehow flown under your radar thus far, you might want to get a new radar.

    Yes, Alexander's awfully nice to look at, but that's not the only reason to keep an eye on the rising star; she's also well on her way to becoming a bona fide action hero.

    Alexander is probably best known for playing Lady Sif in Marvel's "Thor," a role she'll be regally reprising in "Thor: The Dark World," which debuts this November.

    And with her recent gig playing opposite Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Governator's big comeback film, "The Last Stand," Alexander certainly pumped up her action resume. Alexander plays Sarah Torrance, a small-town police officer who stands shoulder to shoulder with grizzled Chief Ray Owens (Schwarzenegger) and a ragtag host of deputies (including Luis Guzman and Johnny Knoxville) to fend off a drug kingpin trying to shoot his way across the Mexican border. It's an old-school, good vs bad action flick, and Alexander more than holds her own.

    While promoting this week's home entertainment release of "The Last Stand," Alexander spoke with us over the phone. Besides chatting about why the film got a bum rap and what it's like to shoot an action flick with Arnold, Alexander also spoke candidly about what we can expect from Lady Sif in the next "Thor," how her high school wrestling days prepared her for action, and whether or not she can beat up her boyfriend, "Twilight" star Peter Facinelli.
