My copy of the Transformers DVD just came in the mail, and I’m excited to pop the film in and watch it again; the movie has really grown on me in the months since I’ve seen it. I’m curious how it will play on the small screen since the parts that have grown in my … Continue reading →
I guess we should count our blessings, such as they are. For the first time since Bowfinger, we got to watch Eddie Murphy act in last year’s Dreamgirls. Bill Condon’s adaptation of the legendary Broadway musical was supposed to represent a first step back to legitimacy for the wayward Murphy, but, after losing Best Supporting … Continue reading →
When Movie City News‘ David Poland invited me to join the Gurus of Gold 2.0 (or, as Jeffrey Wells has dubbed the group, "The Bad News Bears" of Oscar prognosticating – and I’ll assume he means the Ritchie/Matthau gang, ‘cuz, otherwise, it’s pistols at dawn), I was a little hesitant given my deep-seated distaste for … Continue reading →
Alan Tudyk tells Moviehole that there’s hope for another Serenity movie, and it’s all because of the sales of the film’s recent special edition DVD. “They had to put [the new DVD] out because they’ve been selling out of the other one and so Universal’s like ‘So, let’s do another one’. And now… there’s now … Continue reading →
I don’t understand this movie 10,000 BC. How could there be a 10,000 BC when everybody knows the world was created some 6,000 years ago. Goddamn Roland Emmerich – first he brings us pinko global warming propaganda with The Day After Tomorrow and now he’s promoting evolution with 10,000 BC! He’s probably working on a … Continue reading →
Yesterday I brought you the news that McG is talking to producers about helming Terminator 4. Now Quint at Aint It Cool News has heard another name talking to producers: Vin Diesel. Diesel just showed up in movie news as returning for Fast and the Furious 4, a move his ailing career needs. But a … Continue reading →
I must be missing something vital here, since I thought that Slamdance was the hip, edgy alternative festival to Sundance. If that’s the case, how did a script about a group of attractive young people brought to the desert to ostensibly make a reality TV show but really get killed off in a snuff film … Continue reading →
When I was on the set of Hellboy II: The Golden Army, Guillermo del Toro whipped out his laptop and showed me some footage from the Troll Market set. In the background of one scene was a couple of guys in green body suits walking formation. ‘That,’ Guillermo said. ‘Is going to be a Lovecraftian … Continue reading →
Remember when Vin Diesel had ambitions? He wasn’t going to make any more movies like The Fast And the Furious. No, it was all interesting stuff for him. He was going to make smart movies. He had a company to make smart video games. He was going to walk down the street every day and … Continue reading →
Contrary to the juvenile suggestiveness of the headline, there will be no incestuous ménage à trois in Jim Sheridan’s redo of Susanne Bier’s Brothers – which, given the impossible hotness of the three leads (Tobey Maguire, Jake Gyllenhaal and the just announced Natalie Portman), will surely be a great source of sorrow for our many … Continue reading →
