Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers' is the outlaw fantasy of four college girls (or maybe just two of them) behaving very, very badly with guns and bikinis and one delightfully trashy white rapper. But the most crucial takeaway from the film isn't satire of primitive American debauchery -- instead it's how we want to perceive these women and why the agency they have over their lives and bodies feels too fantastical to believe.
James Franco might not be the best actor working in movies today, but he's almost certainly the most fearless. His choices are as unpredictable as they are gutsy. He'll try just about anything: television dramas ('Freaks & Geeks'), soap operas ('General Hospital'), comedies ('Pineapple Express'), and big blockbusters ('Spider-Man,' 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes'). His latest role, in Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers,' might be his craziest and most daring to date. He plays Alien -- pronounced "A-Leen" in Franco's South Florida drawl -- a drug dealer and aspiring rapper who likes to boast that he's from another planet. Franco's performance is suitably extraterrestrial: hilarious, disturbing, deranged, poignant and endlessly quotable. In an instant classic scene, Alien shows off all his prized possessions -- machine guns and money and nunchucks and 'Scarface' DVDs on constant repeat -- while screaming "Look at my s---!" Alien's orders are superfluous; any time Franco's onscreen, you can't take your eyes off him.
Are you guys dying of 'Spring Breakers' fatigue yet? No? Good! Neither are we, so we're stoked to bring you this new red-band trailer, along with a featurette, some TV spots and a new poster. Spring Break forever!
Just when we thought the 'Spring Breakers' trailers couldn't be any more crazy and inappropriate for the kids, in steps the brand-new, red-band look with some new footage of guns, drugs and Selena Gomez in a bikini.
'Spring Breakers' is about to premiere at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival next month and in advance of the big premiere we have more of what 'Spring Breakers' does best: girls in bikinis. Today, five new character posters from the film introducing us to the Spring Breakers themselves - Selena Gomez, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Benson among them - and, of course, wearing bikinis.
If we can learn anything from the new international 'Spring Breakers' trailer, it's that life is all about big booties until the cops come to break up the party. Unlike the first one that hit a while back, this new trailer hails from France, and is more uncensored and NSFW, so be warned -- there's naughty language.
A group of girlfriends rob a store to fund their Spring Breaker excursion, but after they're caught, they soon find themselves in the company of an illegal arms and drug dealer who bailed them out of jail.
'Spring Breakers' is the movie you've no doubt heard about by now - Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens playing against type as bikini-clad, gun-toting criminals hanging out with a cornrowed James Franco - and after what seems like an endless wait, the film is finally hitting theaters this...spring. After seeing some international posters the other day, today we have our first look at the U.S. 'Spring Breakers' poster and if you're a fan of girls in bikinis holding guns, you'll be happy.
The buzz about Harmony Korine's 'Spring Breakers' - you know the one with James Franco with the cornrows and Selena Gomez with the bikini... - has been largely positive since it hit the festival circuit last year, and now comes the first official poster for the film, which makes it look like exactly the kind of movie you think it is.
