Latino Review has gotten their hands on the script to The Incredible Hulk and have spoiled just about every thing in the movie right up to the end. If you want to know what happens in three quarters of the film, Latino Review is the place for you – click here. If you’re curious but … Continue reading
Joe Carnahan’s pre-strike dance card just got filled up. He’s starting on White Jazz in December, and then he’ll be moving into Killing Pablo, one of the films he’s been trying to get made for years now.

The new version of Blade Runner hitting Los Angeles and New York this weekend, known as Blade Runner: The Final Cut, is a marvel of technology and craftsmanship. The bar has been raised for the sort of wholesale restoration done here; not only is the picture immaculately detailed and crisp, the movie includes new special … Continue reading
Without real assurance that Bond 22 won’t slide back to the old style of one-liners and joke setpieces (or limp policital posturing, with Paul Haggis providing the polish) I’m not sure why I care that the production team is going to Panama.

Remake Bringing Out The Dead, not The Age Of Innocence. Dive into Dressed To Kill, not Blow Out. Wrap your new shit around Nemesis, not Dangerously Close. And … Continue reading

Somehow, I think Michael Bay and his Platinum Dunes are overthinking their long-in-development remake of Friday the 13th. For whatever reason, the same company that rushed through slipshod redos of The Amityville Horror and The Hitcher – I could throw The Texas Chainsaw Massacre in there, but I kinda liked Marcus Nispel’s visceral variation on … Continue reading
