Movie Synopsis:

On what should have been a fun-filled day at the races, Nick O'Bannon has a horrific premonition in which a bizarre sequence of events causes multiple race cars to crash, sending flaming debris into the stands, brutally killing his friends and causing the upper deck of the stands to collapse on him. When he comes out of this grisly nightmare Nick panics, persuading his girlfriend, Lori, and their friends, Janet and Hunt, to leave... escaping seconds before Nick's frightening vision becomes a terrible reality.

Thinking they've cheated death, the group has a new lease on life, but unfortunately for Nick and Lori, it is only the beginning. As his premonitions continue and the crash survivors begin to die one-by-one--in increasingly gruesome ways--Nick must figure out how to cheat death once and for all before he, too, reaches his final destination.

Interviews: Sandra Bullock Bares All

In her first nude scene ever on screen, Sandra Bullock (Speed, Two Weeks Notice)  didn't mind baring it all for the comedy THE PROPOSAL opening June 19.  Sandra shares other comedic moments on film with co- stars Ryan Reynolds, Betty White (TV classic The Golden Girls), and Oscar Nunez (NBC's The Office)Watch a clip.

In our interview with the cast, CineMovie posed the question, which scene was the most difficult to shoot; Sandra's nude scene with Ryan Reynolds (X-Men Origins: Wolverine), Betty White feeling her up, or Oscar Nunez's gyrating lap dance?  Sandra replied, "When you put it like that, it makes it sound like we shot a soft porn."

Watch the interview for Sandra Bullock's reaction to the question alongside Ryan Reynolds, Betty White, and Oscar Nunez where she breaks down each scene and which shot proved the most difficult on set.

Movie Synopsis:

In THE PROPOSAL, when high-powered book editor Margaret (Bullock) faces deportation to her native Canada, the quick-thinking exec declares that she's actually engaged to her unsuspecting put-upon assistant Andrew (Reynolds), who she's tormented for years.  The unlikely couple head to Alaska to meet his quirky family and the always-on-control city girl finds herself in one comedic fish-out-of-water situation after another.

Oscar Nunez: From TV to Movies

Steve Carell (The 40 Year Old Virgin, Bruce Almighty), John Krasinski (Away We Go), and Ed Helms (The Hangover) from NBC's THE OFFICE have proven themselves at the movies with their successful move to the big screen.  Now another staff member from the hit TV show is off to the movies.  OFFICE regular Oscar Nunez steals the show in THE PROPOSAL starring alongside Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds opening June 19.  

CineMovie's Alysha del Valle caught up with the actor who plays a stripper, a waiter, a priest, and the local grocer for the romantic comedy.  One of the scenes includes a gyrating Oscar dance for Sandra Bullock in his speedo.  We find out how Oscar prepared for his nearly naked moment and if waxing like his OFFICE co-star Steve Carell (The 40 Year-Old Virgin) was an option.

Method Directing

Actors often immerse themselves into character through Method Acting.   Directors plunge into their roles just the same to research their subjects.  Student Academy Award winner Cary Joji Fukunaga subscribed to Method Directing for his feature debut, SIN NOMBRE.  

Winner of the Directing Award and the Excellence in Cinematography Award in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival, SIN NOMBRE is the filmmaker’s firsthand experiences with Central American immigrants seeking the promise of the U.S.  The Spanish-language movie takes place largely on top of cargo trains which transport the immigrants from Honduras to the border towns of Mexico.                                SIN NOMBRE trailer  

As the director and writer of the project, Cary Joji Fukunaga on his own rode alongside strangers on top of these dangerous trains to learn about the people who risks their lives in order to make it to the promise land.

The courageous up and coming director sat down with CineMovie's Viviana Vigil* to discuss his risky decision, in the name of filmmaking. 

SIN NOMBRE is in selected theaters nationwide.
