The movie marks the second studio release from director Daniel Espinosa who hit box office gold with the Denzel Washington-Ryan Reynolds spy movie Safe House ($126.3 M domestic, $208 M worldwide). That movie cost $85 M, and this one set in space cost a reported $58 M before P&A. To further boost Life‘s visibility, Sony closed the SXSW festival with it.  Life begins tomorrow night in 2,500 venues at 7 PM. Warner Bros. While Power Rangers is rated PG-13, Life and Warner Bros.’ big screen take of the NBC 1980 s hit TV series CHIPS are both competing for older males given their R-rating.

LOS ANGELES — Dax Shepard and Michael Peña knew they had big shoes to fill when they signed up to star as Officers Jon Baker and Frank "Ponch" Poncherello, played by Larry Wilcox and Erik Estrada in the classically 1970 s TV series CHi Ps. What Peña and Shepard didn’t know was just how hard the shoes — or more specifically, the snug motorcycle boots worn by the California Highway Patrol — would be to take off, even when using a specially made boot puller. “The hardest part of the job was getting those boots off at the end of the day,” says Shepard, 42. “I snapped two boot ...

Samsung Offers 14nm Network Chips With Rambus, Esilicon

... turnkey solution I-Cube (Interposer-Cube), that connects a logic chip, or processor, with a HBM 2 memory. Read More. The commercial-ready 14-nanometer network process chip is the first to have applied the I-Cube solution, the company said. Luc Seraphin, senior vice president and general manager of Rambus Memory and Interfaces Division, said in a statement, "This is the first of several other offerings we plan to bring to networking and enterprise ASIC markets around the globe.". The South Korean chip giant said I-Cube solution will be essential to network applications for high-speed signaling in networks, and will likely be adopted for other areas such as computing, servers, and artificial intelligence, where high-speed processing power is required. Samsung began applying the second-generation 14-nanometer process early last year for mobile chips. The company has applied the 14-nanometer Fin FET process for its own Eynos-brand of application processors, as well ...

Obnoxious Officers In 'chips

... them. The action in this film is violent and graphic (decapitation alert!). The adrenaline mainly comes from all the breathtaking motorcycle riding stunts weaving in and out of traffic, which I hope will not encourage the already unruly motorcycle riders on the streets now. Those custom Ducati bikes they rode looked very fine and powerful. There are also car stunts, gunfights and big fiery explosions galore to keep the energy on the constant up. Another aspect that keeps the energy up is the very raunchy comedy as written by the same guy who directed and acted as its lead character Jon Baker, Dax Shepard. This comedian is mainly known for his work on TV series like "Punk'd" and "Parenthood". "CHIPs" is his biggest film to date. The comedy style is very shallow and juvenile, with a lot of sexual references, with a lot of naughty closeups to further amp up the raunch factor visually. Shepard's brand of comedy is very physical and over-the-top, not always funny. Michael Pena is usually seen in serious good-guy roles, like "Crash," "World Trade Center" and "Collateral Beauty". I have never seen him in such a vulgar ...

Guess What? Dax Shepard's 'chips' Is Better Than It Looks

... beyond two strapping California Highway Patrolmen, suave Ponch (Michael Pena) and fearless/kinda dumb Jon Baker (Shepard), steering around on police cruisers. Still, you get the sense that Shepard — unlike the makers of the new “Power Rangers” movie — genuinely likes the show he’s adapting. That doesn’t sound like high praise, but it makes a difference. RELATED: Interview: Kristen Bell's "boob job" in "CHi Ps" revealed — "use 'em while you got 'em". The plot is dumb — so dumb it could have been on an episode of “CHi Ps”: There’s some crooked cops (led by a legit menacing Vincent D’Onofrio) ripping off armored trucks, and they must be stopped. Sometimes “CHi Ps,” weirdly, plays things a little too straight, but in a way that winds up being endearing. As a comedy director, Shepard isn’t always looking for a gag, and when he is he doesn’t always give us what we expect. The jokes, though often blue, tend to be built around character, and the biggest laughs come out of nowhere. (You probably didn’t go to see a “CHi Ps” movie to hear Michael Pena rhapsodize on the joys of pooping, or expect that that would actually be pretty amusing.) Even when it goes for the easy yuk, ...

For Dax Shepard's Merrily Idiotic 'chips,' It's The Low Way Or The Highway

... away with by having its participants engage in deep discussions of what does and doesn’t constitute homophobia. Serious philosophical questions are raised: Is discomfort the same thing as bigotry? Should an aversion to same-sex face-to-crotch proximity automatically be construed as homophobic? Can a movie be cheekily self-aware and still thoroughly terrible. Without a doubt. And yet damned if “CHIPS” doesn’t somehow make the most of its own wink-wink awfulness. Its principal ambition — basically, to make movies like “The Dukes of Hazzard” and “Starsky & Hutch” look like rigorous masterworks of screen-to-screen adaptation by comparison — may be as shallow as the gutter. But from time to time, the movie does throw off its own crazy, moronic verve. (Josh Rottenberg). Shepard plays Jon Baker, a former X-Games motocross star who has joined the California Highway Patrol to impress and win back his ex-wife ( Kristen Bell , Shepard’s real-life spouse). His partner (Peña) goes by the alias of Francis Llewellyn “Ponch” Poncherello, ...

The Film Is 'chips' And 'chips Tv Fans Are Poised To Hate It

... very talented and funny, so maybe it all works.". Fans of the original "CHi Ps," still widely seen in reruns and on DVD, are far less forgiving. They've been posting angry messages all over the internet since the first trailers for the R-rated action comedy emerged, calling it garbage and disrespectful to police officers everywhere. In a lengthy "open letter" to Dax Shepard, Sue Walsh of New York accuses the film's writer, director and co-star of mocking the original show with a ridiculous remake filled with nudity, penis jokes and raunchy bathroom humor. (She left out big-breasted women but they're in there, too.). "'CHi Ps' was not just a '70 s cop show. It wasn't Shakespeare, no, but it did and does mean a whole lot to a whole lot of people," said Walsh, who is organizing a 40 th anniversary reunion of the show this fall that most of the original cast is expected to attend. To understand why fans are so upset, one must remember what a gentle, family-oriented show "CHi Ps" was. CHP Sgt. Jon Baker (played by Wilcox) and his partner, Estrada's Officer Frank "Ponch' Poncherello, were hunky young straight-arrow cops cruising sun-splashed, ...

With ‘chips,’ Hollywood Again Goes From Small Screen To Big. Does It Ever Work

... ratings couldn’t save it from only airing 11 episodes. But a loyal fan base prompted the cast to return in the 2005 movie “Serenity,” which was well-received. “The Untouchables:” It’s not that it was an unlikely hit — not with this cast, writing and directing. It’s that it was so good, so long after the original television series. Which could also be said for “The Fugitive” a few years later. Both took solid material and made movies much better than the original shows. “Police Squad”/”The Naked Gun:” Another case of a show cancelled too soon. From the comedic geniuses that brought us “Airplane”  (David Zucker, Jim Abrahams, and Jerry Zucker) the show only lasted six episodes in 1982. Then they got half as many movies out of the concept, which reinvented Leslie Nielson’s career as the bumbling Frank Drebin in the greatest police spoof of all-time. “The Muppet Movie”: I remember being on the cusp of my teenage years and scoffing at the idea of making a movie out of what I thought would be leftover “Sesame Street” puppets. And I probably rode my bike to see it three times. It’s ...
