<p><em>Pain &amp; Gain</em>, starring <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/mark-wahlberg" target="_blank"><strong>Mark Wahlberg</strong></a>, <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/dwayne-johnson" target="_blank"><strong>Dwayne Johnson</strong></a> and <strong>Anthony Mackie</strong>, ruled the box office with $20 million in its opening weekend, according to <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/box-office-report-michael-bays-448008" target="_blank"><em>The Hollywood Reporter</em></a>.</p>
<p>The <strong>Michael Bay</strong> action film, based on the true story about a group of Miami bodybuilders and their crimes in the late ‘90s, beat out last week’s topper <em>Oblivion</em>, starring <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/tom-cruise" target="_blank"><strong>Tom Cruise</strong></a>, and the <strong>Jackie Robinson</strong> biopic <em>42</em>.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Fellow box office newcomer <em>The Big Wedding</em> failed to finish in the top three, despite a star-studded cast that includes <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/amanda-seyfried" target="_blank"><strong>Amanda Seyfried</strong></a>, <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/robert-de-niro" target="_blank"><strong>Robert De Niro</strong></a>, <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/susan-sarandon" target="_blank"><strong>Susan Sarandon</strong></a> and <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/diane-keaton" target="_blank"><strong>Diane Keaton</strong></a>.</p>
<p>Next weekend’s box office will surely be a record-breaking one, as the first of several heavyweights will kick off the summer blockbuster season.</p>
<p><em>Iron Man 3</em>, do your thing.</p>

With each good film, there seems to be a smattering of bad films &#8212; in the eyes of critics, at least. However, Johnson&#8217;s latest movie, <em>Snitch</em>, could be a serious &#8220;up&#8221; for the actor.</p>
<p>Scheduled for release on Friday, February 22nd, the crime-drama revolves around a freight company owner who gets involved in the inner workings of drug cartels in order to save his son from a life in prison. The margin for error in this type of film is colossal: It&#8217;s easy for directors and actors in action films to get too trigger happy, so to speak, and overrun the movie with literal action, with no substance to make it mean anything emotionally.</p>
<p>Having said that, early reviews of the film are in, and the general critical consensus is that it&#8217;s a surprisingly effective showcase for Johnson&#8217;s acting chops.<span id="more-14408732"></span></p>
<p><strong>Todd McCarthy, <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movie/snitch/review/422236" target="_blank">The Hollywood Reporter</a><br />
</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;What&#8217;s surprising about <em>Snitch </em>is that, rather than taking the reductive path of offering innocuous emotional uplift or one-man-army action, it generates a feeling of real desperation and fear as it shows a man getting in way over his head when he takes on some very bad guys. In other words, this is a pretty good film starring an actor named Dwayne Johnson,<strong> </strong>not a commodity with The Rock as a hood ornament&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Peter Debruge, <a href="http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117949269/?cmpid=RSS%257CReviews%257CFilmReviews" target="_blank">Variety</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s nice to have actors of <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/susan-sarandon" target="_blank"><strong>[Susan] Sarandon</strong></a> and <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/barry-pepper" target="_blank"><strong>[Barry] Pepper&#8217;s</strong></a> caliber onboard for the office-bound wheeler-dealer scenes, but mostly, it&#8217;s the prospect of witnessing Johnson at the helm of an 18-wheeler as he rams his way through machine-gun fire that excites&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Richard Roeper, <a href="http://www.rogerebert.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130220/REVIEWS/130229996/-1/RSS" target="_blank">RogerEbert.com</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Who would have guessed Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson would deliver the best work of his career playing a guy who squares off against a pack of small-time street thugs — and winds up face down on the ground, his mug bloodied and his wallet gone&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Chris Knight, <a href="http://arts.nationalpost.com/2013/02/21/snitch-reviewed-dwayne-the-rock-johnsons-drug-bust-up/" target="_blank">The National Post</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;There isn’t much to dislike about <em>Snitch</em>, but it’s not the most subtle of movies. [Director, Ric Roman] Waugh uses a trowel to apply his message, when a fine brush would do. But Johnson knows how to radiate charm and integrity, while still managing to be believable in the car-chase shoot-’em-up that is the film’s climax&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Lou Lumenick, <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/snitch_is_snooze_aM3ww3QbofIXcmfpXcn9sK?utm_medium=rss&amp;utm_content=Movies" target="_blank">The New York Post</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Dwayne &#8216;The Rock&#8217; Johnson eschews his usual action heroics until way too late in this weepy melodrama, which begins with his naive teenage son being arrested by the feds after being set up with a delivery of Ecstasy by a pal trying to avoid a drug rap&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Edward Douglas, <a href="http://www.comingsoon.net/news/reviewsnews.php?id=100602" target="_blank">ComingSoon.net</a></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;Snitch offers an incredible human story in following John Matthews&#8217; journey, one filled with tension and drama, and it leaves you thinking in a way we rarely get from typical &#8220;action movies&#8221; these days&#8230;&#8221;</p>

In 2013, it seems like everything’s turning up Dwayne Johnson. In the next 12 months, Johnson has three dramatically different projects coming to theaters: the thrill ride Fast &#38; Furious 6, black comedy Pain &#38; Gain, and this Friday, the crime thriller Snitch. The variety of genres these projects span epitomizes his evolution from “former...<span class="more"><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2013-02-21/dwayne-johnson-from-tutus-to-takedowns/">Read&#160;more&#187;</a></span><br />

In the next 12 months, Johnson has three dramatically different projects coming to theaters: the thrill ride <em>Fast &amp; Furious 6</em>, black comedy <em>Pain &amp; Gain</em>, and this Friday, the crime thriller <em>Snitch</em>.</p>
<p>The variety of genres these projects span epitomizes his evolution from “former wrestler” into multidimensional performer, able to move easily from comedy to action to virtually any genre or project Hollywood throws at him.</p>
<p>That said, there was a time when Johnson was known almost exclusively as “The Rock,” and associated with professional wrestling rather than being the most charming and likeable star in the entertainment industry.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/photos/the-career-evolution-of-dwayne-the-rock-johnson/" target="_blank"><strong>Click here to launch Celebuzz’ gallery of the career evolution of Dwayne Johnson</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/" target="_blank"><strong>Celebuzz</strong></a> has been a fan of the actor since he charmed us in <em>The Rundown</em>, and has since carried a broad range of movies through some sometimes lackluster premises (seriously, brother? <em>The Tooth Fairy</em>?).</p>
<p>Nevertheless, we still love Dwayne Johnson, whether he’s taking bad guys down or wearing a tutu.</p>
<p><strong><em>Snitch opens in theaters nationwide Friday. Watch the film’s trailer and then let us know in the comments – how eager are you to see Johnson’s latest?</em></strong></p>

And now that Valentine&#8217;s Day has come and gone, romance is no longer a priority on the silver screen.</p>
<p>Despite that preponderance of love-driven stories, action, well, kicked its butt, as <em>A Good Day To Die Hard</em> took the top spot over <em>Safe Haven</em> and <em>Beautiful Creatures</em> at the box office. But will Bruce Willis triumph again, or will a new contender knock the sequel out of its comfy first-place perch?</p>
<p>Opening Friday, February 22nd is the action-thriller <em>Snitch</em>, starring <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/dwayne-johnson/" target="_blank"><strong>Dwayne Johnson</strong></a>, as well as <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/keri-russell/" target="_blank"><strong>Keri Russell</strong></a>&#8216;s sci-fi-horror movie <em>Dark Skies.<span id="more-14405481"></span></em></p>
<p><em>Snitch</em> follows a desperate father who goes undercover in a Mexican drug cartel in order to save his wrongfully-accused son. Although Johnson&#8217;s movies typically receive mixed critical acclaim at best, his box office success has been decidedly more consistent. That said, early reviews of <em>Snitch</em> have been pretty complimentary, so maybe the new thriller will enjoy a good run during its theatrical release. With an all-star supporting cast featuring <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/benjamin-bratt" target="_blank"><strong>Benjamin Bratt</strong></a> and <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/susan-sarandon" target="_blank"><strong>Susan Sarandon</strong></a>, <em>Snitch </em>seems poised for solid success.</p>
<p>On the other hand, <em>Dark Skies</em> could end up overshadowing <em>Snitch</em>, at least commercially speaking. A sci-fi horror film about a family that&#8217;s terrorized by an unknown entity, <a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/keri-russell" target="_blank"><strong>Keri Russell</strong></a> stars as its matriarch, and it follows in the footsteps of a series of enormously successful similar films, including the <strong>Jessica Chastain</strong> film <em>Mama</em>, which became a surprise blockbuster when it was released in January.</p>
<p>So which film will rise to the top this weekend &#8212; <em>Snitch</em> or <em>Dark Skies</em>? Or will moviegoers remain loyal to Willis&#8217; enduring franchise and prove that, yes indeed, it&#8217;s incredibly difficult to kill off the <em>Die Hard</em> series?</p>
<p><em><strong>Which movie looks most appealing to you? Both? Neither? Let us know in the comments section below!</strong></em></p>

The busy actor/writer/director/soap opera villain is interested in directing and starring in adaptation of <strong>James Ellroy</strong>’s <em>American Tabloid</em>. &#8220;It&#8217;s not all put together yet,&#8221; Franco told MTV on Tuesday. &#8220;It&#8217;s still early. You&#8217;re getting the scoop.&#8221; <em>Tabloid</em> follows a five-year span in the lives of three law enforcement officers, from 1958 to 1963, culminating in the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. If Franco can do for this story what <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/ben-affleck/" target="_blank"><strong>Ben</strong> <strong>Affleck</strong></a> did for <em>Argo</em>, we’re in.

<p>Classic Hollywood: The filmmakers behind <em>Journey 2: The Mysterious Island</em> are turning a popular internet meme into a movie.</p>
<p><span id="more-14116782"></span></p>
<p><em>Journey 2</em>’s <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/dwayne-johnson/" target="_blank">Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson</a></strong> will produce and potentially star in the film <em>Teddy Bear</em>, which is based on an illustration depicting a sword-wielding teddy bear defending a young girl from a monster. The story is being kept top-secret, but it&#8217;s expected to be a franchise-starter. We just hope this leads to an eventual crossover team-up with Ted. [<a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dwayne-johnson-produce-potentially-star-414314">The Hollywood Reporter</a>]</p>
<p>HBO’s <em>Bored to Death </em>is the latest TV series to pull a Lazarus act. After months of rumors, HBO Films has officially announced development on a <em>Bored</em> feature film. Series stars <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jason-schwartzman/" target="_blank">Jason Schwartzman</a> </strong>and <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/zach-galifianakis/" target="_blank">Zach Galifianakis</a> </strong>are expected to reprise their roles in the film, which, like the series, will center on Schwartzman’s amateur sleuth character.

<p><em>The Dilemma </em>put <strong>Ron Howard</strong> in Movie Jail, and now he’s looking to author <strong>Neil Gaiman</strong> to break him out. The <em>Apollo 13</em> director is in talks to helm a live-action adaptation of Gaiman’s novel, <em>The Graveyard Book</em>, for Disney. The story centers on a young boy who, when his parents are killed, is raised by ghosts in a cemetery. As a teenager, the boy finds himself on the run from his parents’ killer. Howard is expected to tackle <em>Graveyard</em> once he completes post on <em>Rush</em>, his Formula-One racing drama due September 20. [<a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/ron-howard-talks-direct-disneys-414344">The Hollywood Reporter</a>]</p>
<p><em>The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo</em>’s <strong>David Fincher</strong> is looking at another bestselling novel to adapt. Fincher is reportedly in talks to helm a big-screen version of <em>Gone Girl</em>, based on the book by <strong>Gillian Flynn</strong>. <em>Girl</em> is a twisted thriller revolving around the disappearance of a woman on her fifth wedding anniversary. The only thing that could make us more excited for this movie is if producer <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/reese-witherspoon/" target="_blank">Reese Witherspoon</a></strong> signs on to play the missing wife. [<a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118064952/">Variety</a>]</p>
<p>Marvel Studios is looking at two unlikely actors for possible roles for the sci-fi heavy <em>Guardians of the Galaxy</em>: <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/jim-carrey/" target="_blank">Jim Carrey</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/adam-sandler/" target="_blank">Adam Sandler</a></strong>. Wait, what? According to a Tuesday post on the website <a href="http://latino-review.com/2013/01/23/exclusive-marvel-big-comedic-actors-guardians-galaxy/">Latino Review</a>, which has quite the track record when it comes to Marvel scoops, the studio is checking the stars’ availability to board the <strong>James Gunn</strong>-directed movie. <em>Guardians</em> centers on a unique band of space-set heroes, including a talking tree. Word ‘round the campfire is that Carrey and Sandler are most likely in the running to voice the team’s most popular character, the gun-toting Rocket Raccoon. We’ll see how this all pans out when <em>Guardians</em> lands in theaters August 1, 2014.

<p>At least, that’s what his character <strong>Daniel Lugo</strong> says in the new action comedy <em>Pain &amp; Gain</em>.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Paramount Pictures unveiled the brand new trailer for the <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/news/michael-bay" target="_blank">Michael Bay</a></strong> film, based on the true story of a group of Miami bodybuilders who get involved in a kidnapping plot.</p>
<p><span id="more-13674912"></span></p>
<p>Wahlberg and his bulging biceps are in good company. <strong><a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/celebrities/dwayne-johnson/" target="_blank">Dwayne Johnson</a></strong>, <strong>Anthony Mackie</strong>, <strong>Tony Shalhoub</strong> and their respective muscles also star in the film, along with <strong>Rebel Wilson</strong>, <strong>Ed Harris</strong> and <strong>Ken Jeong.</strong></p>
<p><em>Pain &amp; Gain </em>is Bay’s first foray into dark comedy, but from this first look, there are still plenty of explosions, fast cars and testosterone to go around.</p>
<p>Wahlberg, who will reteam with Bay in 2013 for the next <em>Transformers</em> movie, recently told <em><a href="http://collider.com/ted-2-sequel-mark-wahlberg-transformers-4/218011/" target="_blank">Collider</a></em> about the chemistry he had with his blockbuster of a director on set.</p>
<p>“We kind of complemented each other throughout the entire process, what he does and what I do and what we were able to do together, and then after that I was like, ‘Dude we gotta work together again,’ and he was like, ‘Well I got a project, you interested?’”</p>
<p><em>Pain &amp; Gain</em> opens in theaters Apr. 26, 2013.</p>

<p><em>Forbes</em> magazine recently released its annual list of the world&#8217;s highest-earning actors and Cruise, 50, dominated over his competitors with a whopping $75 million &#8212; almost twice what the first runner-up had raked in between May 2011 and May 2012.</p>

<p><span id="more-11328271"></span></p>
<p>After Cruise, <em>J. Edgar</em> actor <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/Leonardo-DiCaprio">Leonardo DiCaprio</a></strong> and <em>Jack &amp; Jill</em> star <strong><a href="http://celebuzz.com/celebrities/Adam-Sandler">Adam Sandler</a></strong> came in second at $37 million, while <strong>Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson</strong> closed the gap with $36 million in third place.</p>

<p>The former couple has already signed a divorce settlement. Their only child &#8212; 6-year-old <strong>Suri Cruise</strong> &#8212; will be living with Holmes for the majority of the time while Cruise has agreed on supervised visits.</p>
<p>“The case has been settled and the agreement has been signed. We are thrilled for Katie and her family and are excited to watch as she embarks on the next chapter of her life,&#8221; Holmes’s attorney <strong>Jonathan Wolfe</strong> <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/2012-07-09/katie-holmes-tom-cruise-reach-divorce-settlement-reports/" target="_blank">confirmed the deal</a> on Monday. “We thank Tom’s counsel for their professionalism and diligence that helped bring about this speedy resolution.”</p>

Gee, can you tell the general public votes online for the winners, and most of them just got their first computers?</p>
<p>But the real action occurred earlier that day.</p>
<p>The show was business as usual last night at Universal Studios&#8217; Gibson Amphitheater, despite a <a href="http://www.celebuzz.com/hollywood-on-fire-s20571/" target="_blank">horrific fire</a> on Sunday morning that destroyed portions of the Universal Studios backlot. King Kong, the <em>Back to the Future</em> clock tower, the New York City set and Universal&#8217;s film vault were all either destroyed or damaged in the blaze. The amphitheater is located merely a hundred yards uphill from the fire&#8217;s location.</p>
<p>Despite plans to open them later than usual, Universal&#8217;s theme park and CityWalk were both shuttered for the day, and a smoky haze lingered in the air.</p>
<p>Some celebrities were able to work the fire to their advantage and actually crack funny at the podium. <em>The Office</em> star <strong>Rainn Wilson</strong> joked that he set the fires to strike for the wrath of God on Hollywood.</p>
<p>&#8220;I meant to destroy the amphitheater,&#8221; he cracked. &#8220;I made a mistake on MapQuest.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the evening&#8217;s biggest star appeared to be <strong>Johnny Depp</strong>. Depp took home two awards (Best Comedic Performance for his iconic Jack Sparrow character and Best Villain for <em>Sweeney Todd</em>) to thunderous applause and a standing ovation when he first took the stage. Hipster <em>Juno</em> screenwriter <strong>Diablo Cody</strong> could be seen clutching her hand to her heart, which is how the rest of the world seems to feel about the eccentric heartthrob.</p>
<p>Depp was his customarily soft-spoken self when accepting. &#8220;I&#8217;m not really sure how this happened because you can ask anybody&#8212;I&#8217;m not a very funny person,&#8221; he said when accepting his first award.</p>
<p>&#8220;Two times in one night&#8212;that&#8217;s nutty. Wow&#8230;I have to thank all of you who voted for me. That&#8217;s really a great honor, thanks for sticking with me on this very obtuse and strange road&#8230;I&#8217;m not particularly eloquent at the moment, but thank you so much,&#8221; he said when accepting the Best Villain trophy.</p>
<p>Depp missed out on making a clean sweep of the male category, as he was trumped by <strong>Will Smith</strong>&#8216;s win for Best Male Performance for <em>I Am Legend</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve dedicated my life to creating and trying to do things that are different,&#8221; Smith said, only sounding a tiny bit like he might actually have joined the Church of Scientology. &#8220;I&#8217;ve dedicated my life to making everything that I touch better&#8230;This film was hard, and I was on camera for an hour by myself, and y&#8217;all still went to see it. Thank you very much.&#8221;</p>
<p>Best Female Performance went to teen pregnancy role model <strong>Ellen Page</strong>, for indie breakout film of last year<em> Juno</em>. Page seemed a little out of place when she walked the gold carpet before the ceremony began.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a lot,&#8221; she says. &#8220;The fans and the<strong> Pussycat Dolls</strong> just walked by. I embrace it all,&#8221; she told E! News.</p>
<p>The awards ceremony has long been the venue for which celebrities make appearances to promote their upcoming summer movies. Stars with films on the horizon who were in attendance and presenting awards included <strong>Will Smith</strong> and <strong>Charlize Theron</strong> (<em>Hancock</em>); <strong>Tom Cruise</strong>, <strong>Ben Stiller</strong> and <strong>Robert Downey Jr.</strong> (<em>Tropic Thunder</em>); <strong>Will Ferrell</strong> (<em>Step Brothers</em>); <strong>Steve Carell</strong>, <strong>Anne Hathaway</strong> and <strong>Dwayne &#8220;The Rock&#8221; Johnson</strong> (<em>Get Smart</em>); <strong>Edward Norton</strong> and <strong>Liv Tyler</strong> (<em>Incredible Hulk</em>); and <strong>Seth Rogen</strong> and <strong>James Franco</strong> (<em>Pineapple Express</em>). Host <strong>Mike Myers</strong> also made a joke about promoting his own summer movie offering, <em>The Love Guru</em>.</p>
<p>He also appeared to be stumping for another <em>Wayne&#8217;s World</em> movie, as he lamely trotted out <strong>Dana Carvey</strong> for a <em>Wayne&#8217;s World</em> bit.</p>
<p>The only actors who made an appearance without a movie to promote appeared to be <strong>Sarah Jessica Parker</strong> and <strong>Jennifer Hudson</strong>. <em>Sex and the City</em> is already raking it in at the box office.</p>
<p>Sarah Jessica, who appears to be everywhere these days, wouldn&#8217;t confirm that there is a sequel in the works.</p>
<p>&#8220;Honestly,&#8221; she said backstage, &#8220;<strong>Michael Patrick King</strong> and I have not even talked about the idea.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tom Cruise presented funnyman <strong>Adam Sandler</strong> with the Generation Award, honoring his contribution to penis humor and silly voices in cinema for the past two decades.</p>
<p>&#8220;He liberated us form the presumption that it was not cool to punch old people&#8230;and he taught us how to celebrate Hanukkah by drinking gin-and-tonicas,&#8221; Tom Cruise said in his presentation. Sandler accepted his award by performing his own version of <strong>Carly Simon</strong>&#8216;s &#8220;Nobody Does It Better&#8221; and then speaking.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks, guys, that was fun&#8212;the most arrogant thing I&#8217;ve ever done,&#8221; the funnyman. &#8220;I appreciate everything over the years&#8230;Thanks to you guys for always being so cool to me.&#8221;</p>
<p>The show was mostly low-key and without comedic highpoints like <strong>Sarah Silverman</strong>&#8216;s ridicule of <strong>Paris Hilton</strong> last year. The only actually humorous on purpose moment was the&#160; short film of Ben Stiller, Robert Downey and Jack Black making a viral video to promote <em>Tropic Thunder</em>, in which Downey Jr. tortures Black&#8217;s testicles. Haven&#8217;t we all wanted to kick Jack Black in the nuts?</p>
<p>The only possibly controversial moment occurred when Seth Rogen and James Franco produced what looked like a bag of marijuana and began smoking a joint from it while presenting an award to Downey. Their upcoming movie <em>The Pineapple Express</em> has them toking vast amounts of weed.</p>
<p>In what they later claimed was an MTV-sanctioned bit, the actors jokingly claimed to the audience the marijuana was fake and not &#8220;really good shit.&#8221; MTV suits must have changed their minds at the last moment because cameras panned away pretty darned quickly, as the audience tittered nervously. They were presenting Downey and director-actor <strong>Jon Favreau</strong> with the award for Best Summer Movie So Far for <em>Iron Man</em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks, fellas, for the intoxicating introduction,&#8221; Downey said.</p>
