While many fedora fans anxiously await a fourth Indiana Jones movie and the more rational of us simply dread the very possibility of further convoluted treasure hunts and “comic relief” (see, it’s really his dog’s name! HAHAHAHAHA! Eh…), more rumors continue to spin that the character’s younger version will be heading to theaters. The buzz we … Continue reading

Ryan Reynolds may have proven his action skills in Blade Trinity and… Foolproof, I guess, but he’s keeping those Van Wilder comic abilities honed as well. Like most wage-slaves, Reynolds and his chums aren’t fond of their immediate superiors at their places of employment, so they decide to get proactive in the black comedy Horrible … Continue reading

You have to admit, workaholic Nic Cage doesn’t do the same thing twice. He’s got Gore Verbinski’s family drama The Weather Man on the way, he’s playing flame-faced comic character Ghost Rider, but first he’s dealing arms in Lord of War. The flick features Cage as a Machiavellian gunrunner in post-Cold War Europe who finds … Continue reading
Remember when milky-skinned siren Nicole Kidman made a few interesting film choices before latching onto high-concept projects and remakes? Those were the days… back before she decided to join the latest update of the classic sci-fi suspense tale Invasion of the Body Snatchers, which she basically sort of already remade (rather poorly) with last year’s … Continue reading
The opening training mission sequence of Stealth introduces a trio of hotshot Navy superpilots in Ben Gannon (Josh Lucas), Kara Wade (Jessica Biel) and Henry Purcell (Jamie Foxx), who finish their task with a major bang as Ben announces he’s preparing for “penetration detonation” (there’s a kiloton of eroticized weaponry and maneuvers in Stealth, with … Continue reading

Huzzah for sanguine geysers! Karl Urban has been … Continue reading
Are huge robot movies this week’s flavor in Hollywood? The Transformers movie may be hitting rumor potholes (though I have little doubt the movie will get made), but other creative/greedy types are looking at options while the mechanics get Optimus Prime roadworthy. Longtime producer Mark Gordon (Speed, Saving Private Ryan) is piecing together the giant mechanical … Continue reading
