When not spending time making unnecessary cameos (see: Ocean’s 12) or sequels to crap comedies (don’t see: The Whole Ten Yards), megastar Bruce Willis does still occasionally dabble in the hard-nosed cop action that made him a marquee name in the first place. Such as the upcoming Hostage, based on the novel by Robert Crais. … Continue reading
The teaser poster for Batman Begins premiered online late last week, depicting an iconic image of a hunched Dark Knight sort of hovering before a fiery stormfront (see it HERE). Now the international poster has popped up, and instead of a shadowy snapshot of Bale in costume Photoshopped onto a fearsome sky, we find him … Continue reading
Let’s be honest, fans of hairy shapeshifters are not exactly inundated with quality werewolf movies. Ever since David Naughton became a hungry canine in American Werewolf in London, the only decent werewolf flicks have been low-budget entries that skulked in under the radar like Dog Soldiers and Gingers Snaps (and Wes Craven’s appropriately titled Cursed … Continue reading

Ashmore will star in an indie titled 3 Needles, an AIDS drama broken up into three segments that … Continue reading

I’m sure there’s a percentage of the population who’s thrilled that the WWE is stretching from “sports entertainment” (i.e., burly sweaty men engaging in homoerotic fake-violence). At least they selected a delicious Hollywood cupcake to be the eye candy in their first feature film endeavor. Lissome hottie Kelly Carlson, the resident psycho/coke fiend/porn star of … Continue reading
Considering it made a massive bundle of money over its opening weekend, it’s not really any surprise that a sequel to the remake of The Grudge is already in the works. Assuming writer/director Takashi Shimizu plans to work on the proposed sequel, it’ll be the sixth time he’s had the creepy chalk-skinned boy and the … Continue reading
