Snoop Dogg is going from frolicking through fields of green to laying down the law on a football field in Prime Video’s The Underdoggs trailer! Charles Stone III directs this R-rated comedy featuring world-famous rapper Snoop Dogg as Jaycen “Two Js” Jennings, a washed-up ex-professional football star who has hit rock bottom. When Jaycen is sentenced to community service coaching the Underdoggs, an unruly pee-wee football team in his hometown of Long Beach, California, he sees it as an opportunity to rebuild his public image and turn his life around. As Jaycen works to transform the foul-mouthed Underdoggs into top-notch champions, he reconnects with his past, including an old flame and a few of his ex-teammates, and rediscovers his love of the game.
Danny Segal and Isaac Schamis wrote the script, with Tika Sumpter, Mike Epps, Andrew Schulz, and George Lopez starring alongside Snoop Dogg as primary cast members.

The parent company of cable networks like A&e, History Channel and Lifetime, a privately held joint venture between Hearst Corp. and Disney, announced a raft of more than 2,500 hours of new programming. The company also plans to air 70 hours of premium documentaries and 221 movies.
Along with the new series and movies, A+E has also implemented a new sales focus on total-audience metrics. The company signaled the plan last month to shift away from the age and gender Nielsen demographics relied on for decades by buyers and sellers.

The danger of crafting a complicated heist flick is the risk that your audience won’t quite understand what’s going on. That’s the case in writer-director Stacy Cochran’s “Write When You Get Work,” a romantic comedy with a criminal bent that undertells its story and therefore oversells how smart it really is.
The film begins with an up-close-and-personal shot of teenagers rolling around in the sand, though these teens look like adults: It’s Jonny and Ruth. Their tryst results in a child, whom we find out, when the film jumps ahead nine years, that they gave up.
Their forfeited offspring doesn’t add anything to the story, other than perhaps suggesting a bond stronger than most high school sweethearts have; when Jonny spots Ruth at a wake those nine years later, he breaks into her apartment later that day. It turns out that they’re both comfortable with such illegal pastimes,...

For a film that starts with Finn Wittrock taking his shirt off, Write When You Get Work disappoints. He plays a New York City drifter working odd jobs and living off petty crime schemes. His ex (Rachel Keller) has left that life behind after the break-up and is now trying to make it working at a prestigious school in the wealthy Upper East Side. Of course their worlds collide as he tries another get-rich scheme that involves one of the parents of the kids in her school (Emily Mortimer)...

A finite number of audiences on both coasts will get the chance to see Alfonso Cuarón’s Roma beginning Thanksgiving weekend. Netflix’s anticipated black-and-white feature, which is a Spirit Award nominee and won the Golden Lion at Venice will have the vast majority of its audiences view what some have called a masterpiece through the service. Roma is the second of three Netflix films — along with the Coen brothers’ The Ballad of Buster Scruggs, which opened this month, and Susanne Bier’s Bird Box — to get a rare pre-streaming theatrical release as the company looks to boost awareness for its awards-season fare.

In the first instalment of my conversation with the director/screenwriter/co-producer of Write When You Get Work, Stacy and I discuss the spot-on look she created with costume designer Samantha Hawkins, the visual storytelling, what's in a word, camouflaging ourselves, her cinematographer Robert Elswit, and how writing a screenplay can be like writing a letter.

We don’t ever discover why or when high school sweethearts Ruth Duffy (Rachel Keller) and Jonny Collins (Finn Wittrock) broke up during the course of Stacy Cochran’s Write When You Get Work. All we know are certain circumstances and thus are left to assume the rest. Maybe they tried making things work after what happened and spent a few more years together or maybe they separated right away (read as Ruth left to take control of her life while Jonny stayed behind and apparently refused to ever grow up). This is why nine years post graduation finds the former working as the interim head of admissions at a prestigious private school and the latter running cons from a coat-check closet he otherwise works for tips as a favor.

"Could you leave me alone?!" Abramorama has debuted an official trailer for an odd, indie romantic comedy titled Write When You Get Work, the latest film from New York-based filmmaker Stacy Cochran. This premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and will hit theaters this November. Described as a "story about money, mischief, love and entitlement." The story follows two people living in New York City, who cross paths again years after they were lovers in high school. Jonny is as consumed with Ruth as he was in their school days, and he infiltrates her life for love and profit. Rachel Keller stars, with Finn Wittrock, Emily Mortimer, Scott Cohen, Jessica Hecht, and James Ransone. I dig the grainy 16mm look of this, and the heist twist, but I'm not sure it's going to amount to anything. Check it out below. Here's the official Us trailer (+ poster) for Stacy Cochran's Write When You Get Work,...

"What's your favorite underrated movie?" It's a harder question than it may seem but we got a lot of great answers when we asked the filmmakers who came into our SXSW Studio at this year's festival. Emily Mortimer, there to premiere Write When You Get Work, promoted one of her father's films Bunny Lake is Missing. She thought it had been a forgotten movie until she worked with Martin Scorsese, who confessed he is obsessed with the film. John Krasinski, who was at the…...
