Way back in 2004, we brought you word that Spike Lee was interested in making a movie about black soldiers in Italy in WWII. With an Inside Man and a When The Levees Broke under his belt, it seems that Spike can finally get this movie made. Hooray! The movie will be based on Walter … Continue reading
While other movie studios continue to find interesting talent to attach to their major superhero projects, Fox just keeps on going after the lamest directors possible. I’ll admit that I found both Fantastic Four and X3 passable and basically enjoyable, but does anyone really think that they were as good as they could have been? … Continue reading
On one hand, it’s preferable that Brian De Palma’s Dressed to Kill is being remade as a direct-to-DVD feature, if only because it will do the least amount of damage to the classic erotic thriller’s legacy (in much the same way that Marlo Thomas’s made-for-television, gender-inverted variation of It’s a Wonderful Life barely harmed the … Continue reading
Ryan Rotten at Shock Til You Drop has gotten the big scoop on what Tobe Hooper’s next film will be – and it sounds like the guy might be making a movie worth seeing (which is quite the opposite from his utterly craptastic Masters of Horror episodes). The film is called Training Camp, and here’s … Continue reading
I have come to make peace with the idea of a Transformers movie and the possibility of it being good, or at least enjoyable summer entertainment (which is not, in any way, shape or form, the same as ‘a good movie’). But I can not – nay, I will not – ever come to make … Continue reading
Comic fans love to debate Marvel vs DC, but when it comes to movies, there’s no arguing: Marvel has been both more prolific and way more successful than DC has been in this latest burst of superheroes at the movies. Marvel’s been able to bring not just their A-list characters – Spider-Man, The X-Men and … Continue reading
I love San Diego Comic Con. I love running around like a madman, handing out my card, scoring interviews and bugging publicists for info. I love the parties and the free booze. I love running into all the fun people I have met on set visits or at junkets and having a chance to shoot … Continue reading
Everybody gets all nostalgic for 80s garbage like The Goonies or The Monster Squad… but I almost never see swooning for legitimate 80s classics like Better Off Dead or One Crazy Summer, both directed by Savage Steve Holland. OK, maybe I see some love for Better Off Dead, but less than I would like considering … Continue reading
It’s quite likely that you went out to the movies this weekend and saw Knocked Up, the hilarious new film from Judd Apatow. But when you were buying your ticket did you know that you were supporting… plagiarism?! That’s what Canadian journalist Rebecca Eckler is claiming. She’s suing Judd Apatow and Universal Studios, saying they … Continue reading
Criss Angel is one of those magicians I shouldn’t like. First of all, he’s got this hairdo and personal style that looks like he just came from a Motley Crue concert in 1995. Second of all, he’s one of those glitzy magicians, who’s all about image. As much of a dipshit as David Blaine is, … Continue reading
