Before Mr. Wolf and his crew got a taste of the good life, they gave the Grinch a run for his money by planning a holiday heist for the ages. Today’s The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday trailer finds the gang rethinking their approach to spreading holiday cheer when events threaten the holy holiday. Not on the Bad Guys’ watch!
In this new adventure set before the events of the original film, there’s nothing the Bad Guys love more than Christmas morning because while everyone is home opening presents, it’s the perfect time to execute their city-wide holiday heist. But when Christmas is unexpectedly canceled, the Bad Guys must do the unthinkable: reignite the city’s holiday spirit by giving instead of taking.

“The Bad Guys,” DreamWorks Animation’s hit feature from 2022 that felt like if Quentin Tarantino had remade “Zootopia,” is getting a brand-new holiday special. And now we know that “The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday” will steal your heart on Netflix beginning on Nov. 30.
This half-hour Christmas special takes place before the events of “The Bad Guys,” which saw a gang of criminal animals reform their evil ways. In this new special, the Bad Guys set their sights on a holiday heist. But when the town’s festivities are canceled, the Bad Guys find themselves in a highly unlikely position – having to restore cheer to the townspeople through giving instead of taking. Can you imagine?
While the original film featured Sam Rockwell as Mr. Wolf, Marc Maron as Mr. Snake, Awkwafina as Ms. Tarantula, Craig Robinson as Mr. Shark and Anthony Ramos as Mr. Piranha, this new special stars Michael Godere as Wolf,...

Netflix has set November 30 for the premiere of The Bad Guys: A Very Bad Holiday, the prequel to the 2022 animated film The Bad Guys.
Based on a children’s graphic novel series, the original The Bad Guys movie follows a group of anthropomorphic criminals, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Shark and Mr. Piranha, voiced respectively by Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson and Anthony Ramos. After getting caught, Mr. Wolf makes a play to escape prison time by claiming that the group wants a chance to reform themselves into good guys. Though it starts as a ruse, Mr. Wolf soon finds himself excited by the opportunity to better himself.

The mobster comedy is by now such familiar terrain that it ought to have its own nickname, and that familiarity does not make breathing new life into the subgenre easier. Alas, there isn’t much fresh air to be had in “Clover,”
Despite a capable cast and reasonably energetic execution from director Jon Abrahams, this violent caper lacks any real wit or novelty (beyond congratulating itself a bit too much for including a lesbian couple as “hitmen”), ultimately leaning on tired stereotypes rather than doing anything particularly clever with them. Launching on various cable and digital platforms April 3, it’s a just-passable entertainment that may seem better to those who think “Boondock Saints” is an enduring classic.
You can certainly sense that lowbrow cult favorite’s influence in the dynamic between the brothers Callahan, two orphaned “micks” in an unnamed East Coast city running their family’s corner bar. Or at least they were,...

"Get them, before they get us!" Freestyle Digital has unveiled an official trailer for an indie mob thriller called Clover, just Clover (san -field), from actor / director Jon Abrahams. Two Irish brothers owe money to the wrong guy at the wrong time. While they go on the run trying to pull together the money, they become burdened with a teen girl and hunted by assassins they don't know are following their every move. Clover stars Jon Abrahams, Mark Webber, Nicole Elizabeth Berger, Chazz Palminteri, Ron Perlman, Julia Jones, Jessica Szohr, Michael Godere, Jake Webber, Erika Christensen, as well as Tichina Arnold. "The unexpected trio of Jackie, Mickey and Clover make for a modern twist on an American crime film - mixed with elements of dark comedy." This doesn't look so great, too much comedy not enough crime. Here's the first official trailer (+ two posters) for Jon Abrahams' Clover, direct from...

Arguably the best thing about “After Class,” a purposely untidy and exceptionally intelligent dramedy about frayed family ties and academic contretemps, is writer-director Daniel Schechter’s refusal to ever let his protagonist off too easy. To be sure, lead player Justin Long’s graceless-under-pressure Josh Cohn comes across as more clueless than unsympathetic, less chronically selfish than fecklessly self-absorbed, as he muddles through seismic upheavals in his private and professional lives. But those failings are more than enough to keep viewers from remaining firmly and inflexibly affixed in his corner at all times. And that works very much in the movie’s favor.
Josh is introduced as a 38-year-old adjunct professor of creative writing at an unnamed New York City university. It’s gradually revealed that he’s relatively new to the job, and probably accepted it, gratefully, only because his playwriting career is stalled. But when those beans actually are spilled,...

"You got an army of people who love you at your back." Gravitas has debuted an official trailer for an indie film titled After Class, which initially premiered under the title Safe Spaces at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year. It's getting the usual VOD release in December, if anyone is curious anyway. Justin Long plays an NYU professor who gets in trouble after trying to create "safe spaces" for his students. So he skips town and spends a week re-connecting with his family and an ill grandmother while attempting to defend his reputation. The cast includes Fran Drescher, Richard Schiff, Camrus Johnson, Kate Berlant, Becky Ann Baker, Tyler Wladis, Lynn Cohen, Samrat Chakrabarti, Dana Eskelson, and Michael Godere. Well this seems rather charming and uplifting in a warm way, it might actually be worth a watch. Here's the first official trailer (+ promo poster) for Daniel Schechter's After Class,...

It wasn’t wise to borrow money from local mobster Tony Davolio (Chazz Palminteri), but brothers Mickey (Jon Abrahams) and Jackie (Mark Webber) didn’t have a choice. Running a bar isn’t easy these days and the added pressure of trying to keep one afloat after generations of family ownership forces their hands to make a deal with the Devil. After a shared history allows for a single extension on payment without increasing the vig, Jackie decides to gamble what they owe (recouped in full) the night before their deadline in hopes of easy profit. As Mickey (and many others) soon explains, however, thinking has never been that sibling’s strong suit. So how do we meet these two? Escorted empty-handed to Tony’s lair, their fate all but sealed.
Screenwriter Michael Testone does give them one more out, though. If the brothers go with Tony’s son Joey...

Daniel Schechter wrote and directed the pic, which co-stars Richard Schiff, Lynn Cohen, Kate Berlant and Michael Godere. The distributor will release the pic in theaters day-and-date December 6.
Long plays a New York college professor who aims for his classroom to be a safe space for students, but a lesson plan pushes students to share more than they wish, forcing him take a deeper look at whether safe spaces live up to their name. He escapes from the college controversy to reconnect with his own unique family, who are navigating how to deal with the
emotions of having an ailing grandmother.
Courtenay Johnson, Lawrence Greenberg and Jordan Kessler are producers.

If anything, Safe Spaces gets right what it’s like to be on the lowest wrung of the career ladder in academia. Justin Long stars as Josh, a creative writing and drama professor who in the first scene shockingly grills a student about a sexual experience she tiptoed up towards in her writing, turning the whole thing into something he with decent intentions thought was provocative. Speaking from experience, it’s an exercise that’s commonly used in creative writing or filmmaking–asking “well, what next”–although he should have known better. His behavior turns him into persona non grata amongst students as the incident spirals out of control when a sexual assault survivor takes the case up with his department.

Adapted from a short film of the same name, Are We Not Cats is a surprising and bold piece of filmmaking by director Xander Robin. It tells the story of a young man, Eliezer (Michael Patrick Nicholson), who is swiftly going nowhere, especially when he loses his job and girlfriend -- and his happy Russian immigrant parents decide to sell everything and move to Arizona. He is gifted his father's truck, in which he must now live, and promptly gets a gig delivering a big engine to upstate New York. While there, he's invited by hothead, druggie, and abusive dude Kyle (Michael Godere, who really sells it) to a local underground music night and meets Anya (the terrific Chelsea Lopez). Eliezer quickly becomes enamored of...

"I've been feeling weirdly sick recently." Cleopatra Entertainment has debuted an official trailer for a super strange indie film titled Are We Not Cats, from writer/director Xander Robin. This first premiered at the Venice Film Festival back in 2016 but hasn't really made any kind of impact, despite playing at numerous other festivals. The film is about a man who, after losing his job, his girlfriend, and his apartment in a single day, attempts to restart his life, until he meets a woman who shares his strange habit - eating hair. You're not alone if that makes you gag just reading that sentence, but the trailer is something else entirely. Starring Michael Patrick Nicholson, Chelsea Lopez, and Michael Godere.

It’s practically impossible to talk about what’s happening in Chris Sparling‘s latest thriller, Mercy, without spoiling it. The writer-director knows, and splits his film into three pieces as a result: the first third completely shrouded in mystery, the next a replay from alternative perspectives, and the last the truth of the pursuers’ identities and the lies their victims have been spinning from the start. The only other Sparling film I’ve seen is his most popular one, Buried, which he wrote with Rodrigo Cortés directing, but the similarities in deflection and confusion are obvious. Whereas it focused solely on one character trapped without the ability to fully comprehend what’s happening, Mercy places its viewer in the coffin. We don’t know who’s out there and we definitely cannot trust the family in peril.

Pulitzer Prize finalist and well known playwright Adam Rapp has just directed a film he didn’t write. While many people do this all the time, Rapp has always directed his own work, from Red Light Winter which was a Pulitzer Prize finalist to even Winter Passing and In Treatment.
Loitering With Intent, although directed by Rapp, is written by Ivan Martin (who previously worked with Rapp on Winter Passing) and Michael Godere, with both acting within the film as lead characters Raphael and Dominic respectively. In addition to the writing/acting duo, Marissa Tomei stars as Gigi, Dominic’s sister, with Sam Rockwell playing Wayne, Gigi’s boyfriend, and Gigi’s friend Ava is played by Isabelle McNally.
The plot centers on aspiring screenwriters Dominic and Raphael who have been given the chance of a lifetime to work with a film producer willing to give them a shot. They...

Budding screenwriters Ivan Martin and Michael Godere had more than a few challenges on their hands when they set out to collaborate on their first screenplay since 2010’s "Daylight." First, as it goes, they needed an idea. An idea that would grant them the opportunity not only to star in the film together, but to allot interesting roles for their friends. Furthermore, an idea that might make back some of the gas money they’d expend on preparatory California road trips with Marisa Tomei… a crucial component of any good movie’s pre-production stages. Ultimately, this harried writing process became the star of Martin and Godere’s dramatic comedy "Loitering with Intent" (read our review), which we got a chance to discuss with both writers and stars, supporting players Tomei and Sam Rockwell, and director Adam Rapp. Although the fivesome took up the long end of a sizeable conference table,...

This is a reprint of our review from the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival. Writing a movie might be a dramatic process for those in the middle of it, but it's not a terribly cinematic one for those of us watching it unfold. After all, how much emotional and visual oomph can a filmmaker expect to squeeze out of somebody typing into a keyboard (or scribbling in a notebook)? Thankfully, "Loitering With Intent," the very funny, ramshackle new comedy premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, does much to dispense with the actual mechanics of two dudes trying to write a screenplay, instead indulging in the messy familial dynamics that can derail any project, no matter how ambitious or well-planned it might be. The movie starts out with an incredibly succinct, wonderfully edited, and totally informative montage that establishes who the main characters are. Dominic (Michael Godere) and Raphael (Ivan Martin) are bartenders,...

Taking place mostly at Gigi's country house, Loitering with Intent uses the "ensemble stuck in a house" genre to create a pressure cooker of drama. We know enough about the characters' intertwining backstories to anticipate a lot of emotions. Ivan Martin, Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell and Brian Geraghty are tasked with being the freewheeling comedic relief to Michael Godere's "straight man"; all the while, Isabelle McNally drifts peacefully around the house like a spirit, with the sole purpose of instilling a sense of serenity within the chaos. The naturalistic, self-referential performances of Godere and Martin -- who also co-wrote the screenplay -- hearken back to the American independent cinema of the early 1990s. Though their dialogue sometimes seems a bit too verbose to have not been heavily scripted, their chemistry solicits a conversational report that helps solidify their friendship.

"Fast, funny, and incredibly heartfelt" are the words we wrote in our review of "Loitering With Intent," and that's just what you want to hear about any movie featuring the double talents of Sam Rockwell and Marisa Tomei. And with their indie dramedy coming around the corner, today we have an exclusive clip from the film. Directed by Adam Rapp, and featuring Natasha Lyonne, Brian Geraghty, Isabelle McNally, Michael Godere, and Ivan Martin, the story follows Raphael and Dominic, a couple out-of-work-actors who have 10 days to deliver a script that could be their last shot for a big break. They head to Dom's sister place in upstate New York, where they think they'll be able work in seclusion, but the arrival Gigi's boyfriend Wayne, and his younger brother Devon, creates unexpected chaos. In this clip, we see Wayne and Gigi cozying up around the campfire. "Loitering With Intent" is now...

Adam Rapp's Loitering With Intent — a lackadaisical hangout comedy that tries to be both a winking, self-reflexive look at screenwriting and a resonant study of relationships — suffers from a thrown-together vibe that is only rarely eclipsed by its overqualified supporting cast. Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell, and Brian Geraghty are among the distinguished players lending occasional weight to the movie; before their arrival, however, Rapp introduces Raphael (Ivan Martin) and Dominic (Michael Godere), fortyish actors "in an age void" who tend bar in Brooklyn to bankroll their struggling careers. The pair catches a break when a producer (Natasha Lyonne) expresses interest in their micro-budget, noir-tinged script — which doesn't actually exist, yet. ...

Loitering With Intent
Directed by Adam Rapp
Written by Michael Godere, Ivan Martin
USA, 2014
Although the profession of the screenwriter has been highlighted on the big screen many times before (Adaptation, Barton Fink, and Get Shorty), Loitering With Intent makes a valiant effort to strip away bombastic plot devices in order to showcase the writing process itself. No, there aren’t any kidnappings, or murders, or high stakes with loan sharks and gangsters. Instead, the film portrays the rigors of writing just the way it is: frustrating, a bit all over the place, and somewhat boring. Whether or not the audience is up for a simple story in its mundane entirety is purely up to them. Yet what’s to gain is the pure insight into the struggles young and inexperienced writers typically endure. And does so with great performances by Tomei and Rockwell.

The woes of struggling actors have been explored on screen countless times already (typically by those struggling actors themselves), and Loitering With Intent is just another film in a long line of passion projects exploring the challenges and pitfalls of seeking spotlight attention. It’s a tired story about two best friends who subject themselves to casting auditions and nightly bartender gigs just to barely squeak by, much like any other “wannabe actor” sob story might play out, except this one has Sam Rockwell and Marisa Tomei as supporting characters! Apologies, please don’t misinterpret my snarkiness, because there are much worse films than Adam Rapp’s countryside calamity – but there are also much better.

Title: Take Care Director: Liz Tuccillo Starring: Leslie Bibb, Thomas Sadoski, Marin Ireland, Nadia Dajani, Michael Stahl-David, Michael Godere and Betty Gilpin Fiercely holding onto a sense of independence as you struggle to overcome physical and emotional setbacks is an intensely powerful ambition many women strive to achieve throughout their lives. Despite the offers of support they receive from their friends and family who wish to help them during their painful recovery process, maintaining that freedom often allows women to feel as though they have control over what’s happening to them. New York City producer Liz Tuccillo strikingly showcased that fact with the new comedy-drama, ‘Take Care,’ which marks her [ Read More ]

The creative minds behind Loitering With Intent know the perils of being a writer. Director Adam Rapp embraces the words of scribes Michael Godere and Ivan Martin, bringing to life a comedy that’s already set tongues wagging. Certain movies frame the profession, hobby or the downright obsession of writing in a neat bundle. Many of those movies never depict the reality of what it actually means to populate a life with words. So, a movie about writing a movie ought to really set the record straight once and for all, and today we’ve got a peek at the first trailer.
With a starry cast including Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell, Natasha Lyonne, Brian Geraghty, Isabelle McNally, Michael Godere, and Ivan Martin, the story revolves around a pair of unemployed actors. Struggling to make ends meet, they wangle a producer into thinking they’ve got a red hot script. With...

A ticking clock, a couple of down-on-their-luck characters, quirky situations, and one last shot at redemption—these are all familiar ingredients that could be combined to create something far less than memorable. Thankfully director Adam Rapp and screenwriters Michael Godere and Ivan Martin made something fresh with "Loitering With Intent," and the first trailer landed today. Starring Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell, Natasha Lyonne, Brian Geraghty, Isabelle McNally, Michael Godere, and Ivan Martin, the story follows Raphael and Dominic, a couple out-of-work-actors who have 10 days to deliver a script that could be their last shot for a big break. They head to Dom's sister place in upstate New York, where they think they'll be able work in seclusion, but the arrival Gigi's boyfriend Wayne and his younger brother Devon creates unexpected chaos. This one is a winner, with our review out of the Tribeca Film Festival calling it, "fast, funny, and incredibly.

I enjoy a good film that is set around the entertainment industry. A couple of my favorites are Swimming With Sharks and The Player. Now I’ve got a new movie to look forward to seeing. It’s called Loitering with Intent, and the story follows two writers who have a short window of financing to complete a screenplay for their break-out film. This is kind of a meta type movie because the actual screenwriters of the feature, Michael Godere and Ivan Martin, also star as the screenwriters in the movie.
The supporting cast for the film is pretty incredible as well. It includes Marisa Tomei, Sam Rockwell, Natasha Lyonne, and Brian Geraghty. The movie looks really entertaining. Here’s the synopsis:
When out-of-work-actors Raphael (Ivan Martin) and Dominic (Michael Godere) hustle a prominent New York producer into believing they’ve written a hot movie script, they have 10 days to...

One would be hard pressed to meet two more charming, easy-going people than Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei and Sam Rockwell, who co-star together in "Loitering with Intent," now in competition at the Tribeca Film Festival. Their friends and fellow New York actors Michael Godere and Ivan Martin cowrote and star in the film, which centers on two struggling actors who flee to the country in hopes of knocking out a neo-noir screenplay. Instead of finding peace and quiet, they get caught up in the antics of the playful but stubborn Gigi (Tomei) and boyfriend Wayne (Rockwell), who is trying to woo her back after proposing and disappearing. What keeps the film going is the great chemistry of the ensemble cast, helmed by Tomei's infectious, warm energy and Rockwell's humorously intimidating yet sincere intensity. They both add intriguing depth to what otherwise, in less talented hands, might have become the stereotypical dramedy of distressed lovers.

Writing a movie might be a dramatic process for those in the middle of it, but it's not a terribly cinematic one for those of us watching it unfold. After all, how much emotional and visual oomph can a filmmaker expect to squeeze out of somebody typing into a keyboard (or scribbling in a notebook)? Thankfully, "Loitering With Intent," the very funny, ramshackle new comedy premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival, does much to dispense with the actual mechanics of two dudes trying to write a screenplay, instead indulging in the messy familial dynamics that can derail any project, no matter how ambitious or well-planned it might be. The movie starts out with an incredibly succinct, wonderfully edited and totally informative montage that establishes who the main characters are. Dominic (Michael Godere) and Raphael (Ivan Martin) are bartenders, but what they really want to do is act. It's just that...

Adam Rapp is an award-winning playwright, theater director, novelist, and filmmaker. He is the author of numerous plays, including "Nocturne," "Blackbird," and "Red Light Winter," which was named a finalist for the 2006 Pulitzer Prize. He made his directorial debut in 2005 with the Toronto Film Festival selection "Winter Passing," and followed it up with an adaptation of his play "Blackbird," which won Best Narrative Feature at the Charlotte Film Festival and received a Special Jury Award for Achievement in Directing from the Florida Film Festival. His new film "Loitering With Intent" follows aspiring writers Dominic (Michael Godere) and Raphael (Ivan Martin) who need to come up with a script fast after a chance encounter with a producer. The pair head to upstate New York to work on their project in isolation, but they encounter Dominic’s sister (Marisa Tomei), who's desperately trying to escape from her boyfriend (Sam Rockwell). Biggest challenge in completing this.

Don’t let the lack of theatrical output foul you. Adam Rapp is a man of many hats, alternating between novelist, playwright, television, guitarist, actor (Ryan Piers Williams’ X/Y) and the filmmaker of indie comedy (Tiff 2005 preemed) Winter Passing. Rapp shot his third film Why Now?! in upstate New York for peanuts in comparison to several other films mentioned on this list with this talent pool size (Sam Rockwell, Marisa Tomei, Aya Cash, Brian Geraghty) somewhere in late 2012/2013.

Production Co./Producers: Parts and Labor’s Jay Van Hoy and Lars Knudsen (Narco Cultura) , New Artists Alliance’s Gabriel Cowan and John Suits (Bad Milo), Unified Pictures’s Keith Kjarval (A Single Shot), Ivan Martin, Michael Godere, Tory Lenosky.
Prediction: Premieres category or a return to Tiff in the fall.

Plot details are being kept under wraps.

Scientific fact: every movie is better for having a little Sam Rockwell in it. Whether it's in a lead role, like in "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" or "Moon," or a scene-stealing supporting turn like in "Galaxy Quest" or the blockbuster "Iron Man 2," he's one of those actors who never gives a bad performance, and makes every picture he appears in that much better. Which is why, off the back of what's apparently an outstanding turn in "Seven Psychopaths," it can only be great news for actors-turned-first-time writers/directors Michael Godere and Ivan Martin, who according to Screen Daily have landed Rockwell to star in their feature debut "Why Now." And Rockwell's not the only one: Oscar winner and double-nominee Marisa Tomei and "The Hurt Locker" star Brian Geraghty are also on board the film.

Two stars whose films premiered at Toronto -- Marisa Tomei with Ruba Nadda's "Inescapable" and Sam Rockwell with Martin McDonagh's "Seven Psychopaths" -- have signed on for "Why Now," a indie comedy that will shoot over three weeks in upstate New York this November. Michael Godere and Ivan Martin wrote and will direct and star alongside Tomei, Rockwell and Brian Geraghty. Parts & Labor is producing. Here's more from ScreenDaily. In Collider's early review of "Inescapable" they mention the film's inevitable comparisons to "Taken" but say that "it could have been better than 'Taken.'" They continue; "Tomei may be grossly miscast, but she’s a minor misstep in a film that constantly stumbles over its potential. Cinema doesn’t have too many Arab heroes.

Popping up on the festival circuit last year and earning some strong advance word, the no-budget thriller "Daylight" has lain dormant so long. Thankfully, distributor Cinema Purgatorio recognized its potential and will roll it out to theaters this summer. Favorably compared to the work of Michael Haneke, this psychological thriller follows couple Daniel (Aidan Redmond) and Irene (the very pregnant Alexandra Meierhans) as they pick up a seemingly-innocent hitchhiker (Michael Godere) on their way to a wedding. However there's something a bit more sinister to him, and after he threatens his drivers to pick up his cohort (Ivan Martin), the…...

What is it about horror movie people--why are they so frakking stupid? People who start off seemingly sensible, suddenly lose their minds, forget all the rules and we're left screaming at the screen: "Don't go in there! Don't leave the knife on the counter! Don't open the door! Don't let him/them in!" Where does the common sense go?
Just in case you, dear Pajibans, ever find yourself in a horror movie-like situation, here are some of the hard and fast rules. Live them, learn them, never, ever forget them:
5. Don't let a stranger into your house, especially when he (they) come(s) knocking at night. If someone comes knocking at night, have a weapon nearby when you answer the door. (Me, I'm pretending I'm still asleep.)
4. Don't go camping at deserted campgrounds where legend has it that a killer ran rampant. The same goes for exploring any abandoned or haunted house,...
