Brandon T. Jackson has been booked to play in comedy film "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son" as the teenage stepson of Martin Lawrence's Malcolm Turner, replacing Jascha Washington who tackled the role in the first two films. But the Trent Pierce depicter does not only act but also rap the movie soundtrack.
In a new music video for its theme song "Imma Do It Big", Brandon spits his verses to the camera in a warehouse with several pals before appearing later as his alter ego from the movie. T-Pain and One Chance who lend their vocal to the song make a brief appearance. Random scenes from the "Big Momma's House 2" sequel are flashed as well.

When it comes to "Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son," some things are changing, and some things are staying the same. Funny dudes dressing up as massively overweight and strangely eccentric women? Check. But Martin Lawrence isn't the only cross-dressing undercover cop this time around: comedian Brandon T. Jackson has joined the cast as Trent Pierce, the stepson of Lawrence's Malcolm Turner, replacing outgoing actor Jascha Washington in the role.
Jackson isn't just acting in the movie, too; he's rapping and dancing as well, lending his talents to the music video for "Ima Do It Big," featuring T. Pain and One Chance. Check out the video right here on Movies Blog!
The video, which is in promotion of "Big Momma 3," showcases several clips from the movie, including a scene where Jackson's Pierce – who follows in his stepfather's footsteps by going undercover as Big Momma's college freshman niece to root out...

If you're a Martin Lawrence fan, then there's no way you're not a "Big Momma" fan. There's just nothing like seeing the co-star of the "Bad Boys" franchise slip out of that machismo role and into something a little more comfortable — and by more comfortable I mean a comically oversized fat suit, bizarre face-changing makeup and a ratty old wig.
Lawrence's last foray into the "Big Momma" universe came in 2006, but he won't be gone for long. In fact, he'll be back quite soon with a third installment, "Big Momma: Like Father, Like Son," arriving in theaters on February 18, 2011. And to celebrate the arrival of that movie, we've got an exclusive clip from the comedy for your viewing pleasure right here on Movies Blog!

As far as movies where dude comedians dress in drag and do lady stuff (and man stuff while dressed as ladies), the original “Big Momma’s House” is way up there. It has Paul Giamatti and Terrance Howard in it, after all.
In 2006, star Martin Lawrence returned to his role of cross-dressing undercover FBI agent Malcom Turner in “Big Momma’s House 2,” unfortunately sans Giamatti & Howard, but his charade as the eponymous Big Momma was nearly as big a hit as the first.
Now Lawrence is back for round three of the fatsuit fun in “Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son,” which just premiered its new international trailer.
In the next chapter of what will henceforth be known as the “Big Momma Trilogy,” Turner’s stepson Trent witnesses a murder, and in order to shield him from the killers they Both hide out in over-sized lady costumes… and what better...

The Secret In Their Eyes (18)
(Juan José Campanella, 2009, Argentina/Spain) Ricardo Darín, Soledad Villamil, Pablo Rago. 129 mins.
Having elbowed aside the favourite (Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon) and the stalking horse (Jacques Audiard's A Prophet) to win last year's Oscar for Best Foreign Film, Campanella's relatively unlauded entry has a lot to live up to. But thankfully it delivers, being a handsome, smart, adult mystery, in which a retired legal counsellor (Darín) delves into the past to deal with an unresolved murder case. The surprise is not so much that it won the Oscar but how much it resembles the classy, sexually charged Hollywood thrillers of the 70s and 80s, from Klute to Sea Of Love. Maybe if Tom Cruise made films like this instead of the gormless Knight And Day he might reconnect with his grown-up fanbase. But then, the studios are too busy kowtowing to the...

The Final
Stars: Marc Donato, Jascha Washington, Lindsay Seidel, Vincent Silochan | Written by Jason Kabolati | Directed by Joey Stewart
For a directorial debut, with a cast of largely unknown actors and a budget that is obviously limited, The Final pretty much manages to deliver what it sets out to.
A revenge fantasy. The Final focuses on five high school students, Dane, Emily, Ravi, Alan and Jack, who decide, having been bullied and brutalised by their co-students for most of their school lives to wreck a grotesque revenge on their tormentors. Using horror films they have seen, school lessons and their own limited resources, they come up with inventive and horrible ways to repay the acts of cruelty they have suffered.
It’s a simple enough premise, and one that will strike a nerve with anyone who’s become an outcast in school. The indignities that the the five suffer are...

Now in it's fourth year, Horrorfest, the annual cinematic showcase for After Dark Films, has established something of a reputation as a platform for fresh, daring filmmakers to get themselves noticed. More than just a simple market for nasties, the After Dark label stands for quality by way of authenticity, delivering horror films by genre lovers for genre lovers. In addition to this yearly frightfest, After Dark recently announced a new venture to develop their own projects, in partnership with SyFy, NBC, and Lionsgate, titled After Dark Originals.

After stints as an undercover grandmother and an undercover nanny, FBI agent Malcom Turner (Martin Lawrence) adds "undercover housemother" to his resume in the upcoming Big Momma's House 3. An acting and plot stretch, for sure.
This detail comes courtesy of a recent casting notice. Apparently, Big Momma is hired by the Headmistress of the Atlanta Girls' School for the Arts. Why exactly the school needs an undercover housemother remains to be seen. There's a quick mention of Malcom trailing Russian mobsters, but are they working out of the school?
One thing is clear, though. Lawrence won't be the only one appearing in drag. Included in the casting notice, is this gem:
Note: Trent and Charmaine are the same character. Must be able to sing, dance, and rap.
It seems Malcom's stepson is all grown up and getting into trouble. Now a "17-year-old aspiring rapper," Trent witnesses a murder by...

Revenge is a dish best served with your foot up someone's ass. This is especially true for the proverbial kids who cannot take it anymore in the new slasher/revenge flick The Final.
Directed by Joey Stewart and starring Jascha Washington, Julin, Justin Arnold, and Lindsay Seidel, The Final tells the story of Dane, an awkward student with a deadly vendetta and suicidal tendencies, who leads a group of outcasts in a plot to avenge the years of humiliation they faced from the popular students at their high school. At an abandoned lake house the outcasts prepare a night of torture that will leave their tormentors scarred for life - physically and emotionally.

Agora Entertainment and Final Fate Features have announced the completion of their new horror opus The Final, and sent along the first few photos (see ’em below). The movie was directed by first-timer Joey Stewart from a script by producer Jason Kabolati, whose credits include the 2006 chiller Serum and Jon Keeyes’ actioner Mad Bad.
The Final is about a group of high-school outcasts who stage a costume party for the purpose of luring in a group of the popular students who bullied them, upon whom they enact torturous vengeance. “The Final is about being picked on, bullied and tormented, and the retaliation and revenge that it incurs,” Stewart says. “As the outcasts begin to feel that life has no meaning, they make a pact for revenge and suicide that they believe will teach these kids a valuable life lesson. It’s about what happens when people are pushed to the brink of despair,...

If state-of-the-art cross-gender fat suits and drunken Chihuahuas were the stuff of comic genius, "Big Momma's House 2" still wouldn't be very funny. But as few and far between as the laughs are, this follow-up to the 2000 comedy -- painted in the same broad, no-thinking-required strokes -- is likely to score the same solid business.
Greg Cannom's makeup effects again take center stage, and Martin Lawrence is game as the FBI agent who goes undercover as a very large grandmother. It's the Chihuahua, though, that delivers one of the more committed performances, no doubt because he hadn't read the script.
After saving Nia Long from the formidable Terrence Howard in the first film, agent Malcolm Turner here merely has to save America from techno-terrorists. He has married Sherri (Long) and traded in his field agent responsibilities for a PR desk job, making local school appearances as a "safety eagle," much to the embarrassment of his stepson (Jascha Washington). But after learning that his first partner has been killed while working on a computer-worm case, Malcolm dons the Big Momma costume and goes undercover without telling the agency or his 8 1/2-months-pregnant wife.
To get to the suspected designer of that worm, which would give its dastardly users access to the U.S. government's intelligence network (assuming the old-school Luddites have created one by now), Big Momma gets herself hired as nanny to the family of an Orange County software exec (Mark Moses). Don Rhymer's screenplay takes some deserved, if obvious, jabs at the new-millennial brand of parenting that churns out overachieving competitors rather than children. But while Emily Procter fits the bill as an activity-obsessed mom, painfully unfunny slapstick takes precedence over would-be satire.
Under the helm of John Whitesell, a veteran of episodic television whose big-screen credits include "Calendar Girl" and "Malibu's Most Wanted", the story unspools with a decided lack of comic energy, wending its way toward the tepid better-parenting message that has plagued more than a few comedies in recent years. Amid some of the lamest FBI maneuvers ever seen, the warmed-over "Mrs. Doubtfire" premise has our hero discovering his maternal instinct while saving the Western world, reconnecting poor little rich kids with their distracted parents, putting the booty in the moves of a clueless white girls' cheerleading squad and helping the grieving family dog find his bliss.
Lawrence has the devilish schoolboy look that makes you wish he'd cut loose more, but the film doesn't embrace the downright ludicrousness of the scenario until the climactic collision with the villains. And then it promptly goes all mushy. Josh Flitter, who made an impression as the mouthy pint-size caddie in "The Greatest Game Ever Played" and who appears to be channeling Jack E. Leonard, injects some oomph as a hacker extraordinaire who helps the hapless FBI agents. Design and other production contributions serve the story in straight-ahead fashion.
