Let’s get ready to rumble – passes to the Baltimore screening of Grudge Match!

grudge-match-poster

This movie is either gonna be awesome or so awesomely campy that you’re gonna wanna see it anyway.  (I’m hoping that De Niro will be brilliant, and that this isn’t just the beginning of an Al Pacino-esque flameout….)

Anyway, Grudge Match!  Old dudes getting their fight on, and a funny, two-finger salute to everyone who has ever made fun of Sly for continuing to crank out the testosterone films.  Here’s the synopsis:

Award-winning movie legends Oscar® winner Robert De Niro (“Raging Bull,” “Silver Linings Playbook”) and Oscar® nominee Sylvester Stallone (the “Rocky” films, “The Expendables”) star as old boxing rivals who come out of retirement for one final match. De Niro and Stallone play Billy “The Kid” McDonnen and Henry “Razor” Sharp, two local Pittsburgh fighters whose fierce rivalry put them in the national spotlight.  Each had scored a victory against the other during their heyday, but in 1983, on the eve of their decisive third match, Razor suddenly announced his retirement, refusing to explain why but effectively delivering a knock-out punch to both their careers.  Thirty years later, boxing promoter Dante Slate Jr., seeing big dollar signs, makes them an offer they can’t refuse: to re-enter the ring and settle the score once and for all.  But they may not have to wait that long: on their first encounter in decades, their long-festering feud erupts into an unintentionally hilarious melee that instantly goes viral.  The sudden social media frenzy transforms their local grudge match into a must-see HBO event.  Now, if they can just survive the training, they may actually live to fight again.

The film has been rated PG-13 for sports action violence, sexual content and language.

So, want passes?  Here’s the deets:

Baltimore Screening of Enough Said: get your passes!

enougsaidposter

James Gandolfini was an amazing performer.  Julia Louis Dreyfus could pretty much read the phone book and I’d be crying with laughter.  So it’s pretty much a sure thing that Enough Said, a film that brings the two together — and is one of Gandolfini’s last films — is a movie to catch.  What’s it about?  Glad you asked.  Take it away, stupendous supermodels of PR!

 

A divorced and single parent, Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus) spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter’s impending departure for college. She meets Albert (James Gandolfini) – a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest.  As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems “almost perfect” except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much. Suddenly, Eva finds herself doubting her own relationship with Albert as she learns the truth about Marianne’s Ex.  ENOUGH SAID is a sharp, insightful comedy that humorously explores the mess that often comes with getting involved again.

Wanna go?  Of course you do.  Well, here’s the deets:

Free Baltimore Screening: Battle of the Year

Battle_of_the_Year_2013

Good morning party people!  Did your weekend go by without you getting your dance on?  Well, I can help you get your fix vicariously.  Because screening passes!  Battle of the Year is the latest cool-beans dance pic, and it’s starring Josh Holloway (LOST), Laz Alonso, Josh Peck, Caity Lotz and Chris Brown.  This film is hitting theaters September 20th, but wanna see it earlier?  Of course you do.  Need more info?  Of course I’ve got it.  Take it away, breakdancing PR peeps!

Battle of the Year is the Olympics of break dancing, a tournament held every year that attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven’t won in fifteen years. Los Angeles Hip Hop mogul and former B-Boy Dante (Alonso) wants to put the country that started the Sport back on top. He enlists his hard-luck friend Blake (Holloway), who was a championship basketball coach, to coach his team. Armed with the theory that the right coach can make any team champions, they assemble a Dream Team of all the best b-boys across the country. With only three months until Battle of the Year, Blake has to use every tactic he knows to get twelve talented individuals to come together as a team if they’re going to bring the Trophy back to America where it started. Inspired by the actual world championship held yearly in France.

Wanna get in on the Baltimore screening of We’re The Millers?

Sorry I’ve been slack lately.  Things have been crazy.  I almost feel like heading out and starting over.  Maybe whipping up a new identity?  In We’re The Millers?  They’re doing just that.  Our PR people have the skinny:

From New Line Cinema comes the action comedy “We’re The Millers,” starring Jennifer Aniston (“Horrible Bosses”) and Jason Sudeikis (“The Campaign”).  The film is directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber (“Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story”).

David Burke (Sudeikis) is a small-time pot dealer whose clientele includes chefs and soccer moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples.  So what could go wrong?  Plenty.  Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter punks.  Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms).

In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time drug smuggler by bringing Brad’s latest shipment in from Mexico.  Twisting the arms of his neighbors, cynical stripper Rose (Aniston) and wannabe customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof plan.  One fake wife, two pretend kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang.

Thurber directs “We’re The Millers” from a screenplay by Bob Fisher & Steve Faber (“Wedding Crashers”) and Sean Anders & John Morris (“Hot Tub Time Machine”), story by Bob Fisher & Steve Faber. The film also stars Emma Roberts (“The Art of Getting By”), Nick Offerman (“21 Jump Street”), Kathryn Hahn (“The Dictator”), Will Poulter (“The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader”) and Ed Helms (the “Hangover” films).

Vincent Newman, Tucker Tooley, Happy Walters and Chris Bender are the producers, with David Heyman, J.C. Spink, Marcus Viscidi, Toby Emmerich, Richard Brenner and David Neustadter serving as executive producers.

Thurber’s behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Barry Peterson (“21 Jump Street”); production designer Clayton Hartley (“The Other Guys”); editor Mike Sale (“The Hangover Part II”); and costume designer Shay Cunliffe (“The Bourne Legacy”).

New Line Cinema’s “We’re The Millers” opens nationwide on August 9, 2013, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.

Seen the trailer?  Pretty nice, right?  Anybody that uses Mickey Avalon in a trailer is cool in my book.  So how to score yourself a pass?  You know what to do….
