*Evil Dead*

· *Run Time:* 91mins.
· *Starring:* Jane Levy , Shiloh Fernandez , Lou Taylor Pucci , Jessica Lucas , Liz Blackmore
· *Director:* Fede Alvarez
· *Trailer*

"A gore-for-broke affair that strips the flesh off Sam Raimi's cult-beloved comic-horror franchise and exposes the demons at its core." John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter. Full Review

*Jurassic Park 3D*

· *Run Time:* 127mins.

· *Director:* Steven Spielberg
· *Trailer*

"One great monster movie. [11 June 1993, Daily Notebook, p.C1]" Mike LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.

"The suspense and technical wizardry are the only reason to watch Jurassic Park. In a summer movie, that's more than enough, of course. But screenwriter Michael Crichton, adapting his popular novel with David Koepp, slashes almost everything that made the book an entertaining read." Desson Thomas, Washington Post.

*The Host*

· *Run Time:* 125mins.
· *Starring:* Saoirse Ronan , William Hurt , Max Irons , Jake Abel , Diane Kruger
· *Director:* Andrew Niccol
· *Trailer*

"An 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' retread told from a postoccupation vantage point, this adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s YA romance novel unfolds in a dystopian future when alien parasites have nearly won the battle for Earth." Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out New York.

"The Host is a step up from the endless metaphorical lectures and gaping plot holes of Niccol’s last film, In Time, but its muffled emotions, delivered with Twilight-esque blank-eyed calm, put it in the same category of a creative idea hamstrung in execution." Tasha Robinson, The AV Club.

"It's not enough to call this the rare franchise action movie to bring the goods; it's the even rarer one whose creators seem to understand what the goods even are." Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice.

"The directive behind this sequel, clearly, was non-stop action. Let's think about that phrase a second. Do we really want our action movies to deliver action that does not stop? Ever? I get a little tired of action sequences that won't stop." Michael Phelps, Chicago Tribune.

*The Croods (3D)*

· *Trailer*

"This Chris Sanders fellow knows how to craft a heart-warming animation, and if not for a few minor problems this would have had a legitimate shot at the best animated movie of 2013." Laremy Legel, Film.com

"The movie is at its most interesting and amusing when riffing on how cavemen might have reacted to new experiences and ideas, like fire and shoes. Whether the kiddies will appreciate that is unclear, but they’ll certainly like the voice work done by Emma Stone as Eep." Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times.

· *Starring*: Gerard Butler , Morgan Freeman , Aaron Eckhart , Angela Bassett , Melissa Leo

"While Olympus Has Fallen breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish." Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times.

"Perhaps every generation gets the movie stars it deserves. “Olympus” has quite a bit to say about the current state of our country. Intentions aside, not all of it is entirely flattering." Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News.

Michael Jordan's golf cart has been making headlines this week, as admirers praise the basketball legend's style on the green.

Powder blue, with tricked-out rims, custom leather seats, huge speakers and a tinted sunroof, Jordan's golf course ride is a sight to behold.

“It brought water to my eyes, I was flying,” Jordan said last year after test-driving the cart.

Olympic superstar Michael Phelps may have bested Jordan on the links at the 12th annual Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational in Las Vegas over the weekend, but we're hoping His Airness shrugged off the loss by zooming off into the sunset with some powder blue flair.

Baseball legends Ozzie Smith and Vince Coleman were the victors of the invitational, which was attended by celebs like Don Cheadle, Wayne Gretzky and Bruce Jenner. According to the invitational's website, the event raised more than $500,000 for charity. Reported by Huffington Post 3 hours ago.

"42 is competent, occasionally rousing and historically respectful — but it rarely rises above standard, old-fashioned biography fare. It’s a mostly unexceptional film about an exceptional man." Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times.

*The Place Beyond The Pines*

· *Run Time*: 141 mins.
· *Starring*: Ryan Gosling , Bradley Cooper , Eva Mendes , Rose Byrne , Ray Liotta
· *Director*: Derek Cianfrance
· *Trailer*

"A riveting crime thriller, it's also a multi-generational familial saga that approaches Greek tragedy." Claudia Pulg, USA Today. Full Review

"Cool, violent, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, Gosling reprises his inexorable-loner routine from “Drive.” Cianfrance and the screenwriters Ben Coccio and Darius Marder wrote thirty-seven drafts of the script, but gave him almost nothing to say. He rides, he smokes, he knocks over banks, he loves his baby, and that’s it." David Denby, The New Yorker. Full Review

· *Director:* Fede Alvarez

"A gore-for-broke affair that strips the flesh off Sam Raimi's cult-beloved comic-horror franchise and exposes the demons at its core." John DeFore, The Hollywood Reporter. Full Review

"An ode to the strength of onscreen horror even in its less inspired state, the new Evil Dead primarily succeeds at illustrating how the originals have managed to stand the test of time." Eric Kohn, IndieWIRE. Full Review

· *Director:* Steven Spielberg
· *Trailer*

"One great monster movie. [11 June 1993, Daily Notebook, p.C1]" Mike LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.

"The suspense and technical wizardry are the only reason to watch Jurassic Park. In a summer movie, that's more than enough, of course. But screenwriter Michael Crichton, adapting his popular novel with David Koepp, slashes almost everything that made the book an entertaining read." Desson Thomas, Washington Post.

· Director: Tyler Perry
· *Trailer*

"Limp pacing and countless shots of Washington’s skyline plague the narrative. Ms. Smollett-Bell exudes an earthy appeal, but it’s the charismatic Mr. Jones who steals the picture. Given all the stifling preachiness, that’s to be expected." Andy Webster, The New York Times. Full Review

· *Director:* Andrew Niccol
· *Trailer*

"An 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' retread told from a postoccupation vantage point, this adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s YA romance novel unfolds in a dystopian future when alien parasites have nearly won the battle for Earth." Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out New York.

"The Host is a step up from the endless metaphorical lectures and gaping plot holes of Niccol’s last film, In Time, but its muffled emotions, delivered with Twilight-esque blank-eyed calm, put it in the same category of a creative idea hamstrung in execution." Tasha Robinson, The AV Club.

· *Director:* Jon M. Chu
· *Trailer*

"It's not enough to call this the rare franchise action movie to bring the goods; it's the even rarer one whose creators seem to understand what the goods even are." Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice.

"The directive behind this sequel, clearly, was non-stop action. Let's think about that phrase a second. Do we really want our action movies to deliver action that does not stop? Ever? I get a little tired of action sequences that won't stop." Michael Phelps, Chicago Tribune.

· *Trailer*

"This Chris Sanders fellow knows how to craft a heart-warming animation, and if not for a few minor problems this would have had a legitimate shot at the best animated movie of 2013." Laremy Legel, Film.com

"The movie is at its most interesting and amusing when riffing on how cavemen might have reacted to new experiences and ideas, like fire and shoes. Whether the kiddies will appreciate that is unclear, but they’ll certainly like the voice work done by Emma Stone as Eep." Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times.

"Perhaps every generation gets the movie stars it deserves. “Olympus” has quite a bit to say about the current state of our country. Intentions aside, not all of it is entirely flattering." Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News.

*Jurassic Park 3D*

· *Run Time:* 127mins.
· *Starring:* Sam Neill , Laura Dern , Jeff Goldblum , Richard Attenborough , Bob Peck
· *Director:* Steven Spielberg
· *Trailer*

"One great monster movie. [11 June 1993, Daily Notebook, p.C1]" Mike LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle.

"The suspense and technical wizardry are the only reason to watch Jurassic Park. In a summer movie, that's more than enough, of course. But screenwriter Michael Crichton, adapting his popular novel with David Koepp, slashes almost everything that made the book an entertaining read." Desson Thomas, Washington Post.

*The Host*

· *Run Time:* 125mins.
· *Starring:* Saoirse Ronan , William Hurt , Max Irons , Jake Abel , Diane Kruger
· *Director:* Andrew Niccol
· *Trailer*

"An 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers' retread told from a postoccupation vantage point, this adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s YA romance novel unfolds in a dystopian future when alien parasites have nearly won the battle for Earth." Ben Kenigsberg, Time Out New York.

"The Host is a step up from the endless metaphorical lectures and gaping plot holes of Niccol’s last film, In Time, but its muffled emotions, delivered with Twilight-esque blank-eyed calm, put it in the same category of a creative idea hamstrung in execution." Tasha Robinson, The AV Club.

· *Director:* Jon M. Chu
· *Trailer*

"It's not enough to call this the rare franchise action movie to bring the goods; it's the even rarer one whose creators seem to understand what the goods even are." Alan Scherstuhl, Village Voice.

"The directive behind this sequel, clearly, was non-stop action. Let's think about that phrase a second. Do we really want our action movies to deliver action that does not stop? Ever? I get a little tired of action sequences that won't stop." Michael Phelps, Chicago Tribune.

"This Chris Sanders fellow knows how to craft a heart-warming animation, and if not for a few minor problems this would have had a legitimate shot at the best animated movie of 2013." Laremy Legel, Film.com

"The movie is at its most interesting and amusing when riffing on how cavemen might have reacted to new experiences and ideas, like fire and shoes. Whether the kiddies will appreciate that is unclear, but they’ll certainly like the voice work done by Emma Stone as Eep." Neil Genzlinger, The New York Times.

"While Olympus Has Fallen breaks no major new ground in the political thriller genre, Fuqua has directed a sharp, very taut adventure that keeps you engrossed from start to finish." Bill Zwecker, Chicago Sun-Times.

"Perhaps every generation gets the movie stars it deserves. “Olympus” has quite a bit to say about the current state of our country. Intentions aside, not all of it is entirely flattering." Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News.

Filed under: Investing

The old maxim that any publicity is good publicity doesn't seem to hold up as well today as it once supposedly did, but companies always seem shocked -- shocked! -- when one of their celebrity spokespeople becomes embroiled in a controversy.

I mean, what exactly did Reebok think it was getting when it signed on rapper Rick Ross to promote its sneakers? Didn't the company listen to the lyrics of his music before handing over millions of dollars to him? And now that one of his songs blew up in its face -- promoting date rape doesn't exactly sit well with many people -- the sneaker maker is suddenly distressed by all the negative publicity being showered on it. The company ended up severing its ties with the rapper, saying, "Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand."

Ah! I guess the fact that Rick Ross uses the stage name of a convicted drug trafficker didn't make an impression on them, nor did the fact that his lyrics glorify crime and drug use. No, that's all OK, undoubtedly because Reebok figured it would give the company "street cred" to sell sneakers. But the denigration of women finally crossed the line.

*Be a good sport*
There's a difference between the controversy wracking Reebok now and that, say, of *Nike* , which has gone out of its way to manufacture controversy at times, standing by Tiger Woods during his personal divorce problems. Sports figures tend to have a more wholesome image, which is why they're among the biggest endorsers of products, but they, too, become embroiled in situations that leave the companies that sign their paychecks running for the exits.

Basketball star Kobe Bryant had deals with Nutella and *McDonald's* because of a family-friendly persona, until he was accused of rape. *Kellogg* ended its deal with Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps after he was photographed smoking marijuana. And steroid or other performance-enhancing drug use has ended contracts for baseball player Barry Bonds, Olympic sprinter Ben Johnson, and, most infamously, Lance Armstrong.

*A bridge too far*
At the risk of sounding like I'm trivializing sexual assault, in one sense Rick Ross' lyrics can be seen in the light of simply being artistic excess, though he did subsequently apologize twice for them. Video-game makers have often been accused of glorifying crime, such as *Take-Two Interactive*'s popular Grand Theft Auto franchise, where the whole goal of the game is to commit crime, even murder. But in the end it's only a game. In the case of the rap song, the lyrics might be offensive, but it's still just a song.

Yet Reebok really can't plead ignorance that it didn't know the risks it faced. So-called "gangsta rap" is built on a foundation of criminality, misogyny, and abuse. And despite the negative connotations associated with the flap, it can't be denied that Reebok is on the tongues of many people these days.

Yet it's not really what Reebok parent *Adidas* was really looking for at the moment. Ever since the sneaker maker was acquired in 2006, it's served as a drag on Adidas' performance. It was looking for Reebok to finally turn to growth this year with new footwear and clothing-line introductions.

Perhaps P.T. Barnum was right after all when he purportedly said, "I don't care what the newspapers say about me as long as they spell my name right." For me, I choose not to invest in companies that seek to cynically exploit the worst in people. You can forgive a company for the social faux pas its celebrity spokespeople make, as they are not choices the companies themselves made, but when a company pursues a person with a particular lifestyle and then feigns outrage when that person lives up to the persona, it leaves a foul taste in my mouth for the stock.
