— That Halle Berry’s got some nerve! At the recent traveshamockery that is The People’s Choice awards, Halle called upon the dumb masses after receiving “Favorite Female Action Star” (traveshamockery, you say? I rest my case). According to Halle, if you like X-Men, write your local Foxgressman and let them know. Because if you do, … Continue reading
I read a classified ad once: “Got no movie? Originality against you? Call The Equalizer.” Looks like the Weinsteins read it, too. Make way for more 80s revisionist TV history. The Weinstein Company has signed novelist Michael Connelly (Echo Park, Blood Work) and novelist/filmmaker Terrill Lee Lankford (Earthquake Weather) to hash out the screenplay for … Continue reading
With the recent spat of reality based “Hero Guide” adventure programming like Discovery Channel’s Man v. Wild and History Channel’s and Digging for the Truth, the (kind of) Sci Fi channel is developing an exploration series of its own, Destination Truth. Hosted by Josh Gates, the program has been greenlit for six episodes.Each crazy adventure … Continue reading
As Devin illuminated yesterday, JJ Abrams cryptically stated the new Star Trek will be for folks who may not have the Starfleet uniform hanging in their closet (and if they do, hopefully it’s the old ones, because Next Gen’s are stupid). Today we find out, thanks to William Shatner’s quest to remain all things Trek, … Continue reading
In the early 80s, my pals and I would congregate in the basement at 3:30 pm to watch the anime series G-Force. With five heroes in silly looking bird costumes (and the girl- you can see her underpanties!), big robots and innumerable shots of gritting teeth and sweating, I think most of us actually cried … Continue reading
— Rob Cohen, the man who takes making crap (Stealth, XXX, The Fast and The Furious, Daylight, Dragonheart… need I go on?) very, very seriously, is in rumored negotiations to helm The Mummy: Part Trois. There’s always a request in the forums about “guilty pleasure movies” and I’d have to say apart from Chronicles of … Continue reading
Beowr Neowr Neowr Neowr Neow Neowwwwwrrrr… The infamy of tying explosive devices to their junk, dumping in public and piercing their buttcheeks together has launched Steve-O, Chris Pontius, Preston Lacy and “Wee Man” into the spotlight with enough force to warrant the Jackass leftovers their own movie: Hosed. If there’s one thing I love, it’s … Continue reading
There are sequels no one is asking for (Barbershop 2, XXX 2, etc.) and then there’s sequels no one asks for because everyone who first saw the movie is dead. Take It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, for example. 44 years after the film debuted, it’s getting a sequel: It’s a Mad, Mad, … Continue reading
I can’t say I’ve been into collecting toys since I hit about 14 years old. However, one of the nice things about keeping track of the movie-related toy market is that it often gives sneak peaks of characters studios haven’t fully divulged yet. Like Transformers.Thanks to Hasbro, we now have a peek at what the … Continue reading
— Alan Rickman, he of the British character actors I’d like to shake hands with and say,“Well done. Thank you”, has jumped on board Tim Burton’s murderous barber flick, Sweeney Todd. If you hadn’t read the news elsewhere, you could simply see "Tim Burton" and know the film stars Johnny Depp and Helena “Thanks for … Continue reading
