UNCLE BEN VS SANDMAN

SPOILER UPDATE AT THE END OF THIS ARTICLE! I thought that Spider-Man 3 was finished shooting in New York City, but it turns out I was wrong – yesterday Sam Raimi and crew were at the main branch of the New York Public Library, a location you may remember from the first film, when Uncle … Continue reading

WANT SOME CRANK?

I like Jason Statham and his beefy British machismo, but considering the way he whips out movies, I definitely get the sense the guy still gets a kick out of seeing his name in opening credits (and on paychecks — he is, after all, in an upcoming Uwe Boll movie). Here’s the poster for his next … Continue reading

The smoting occurred on the set of Big Stan, on which Schneider is making his directorial debut. … Continue reading

He’s already proven he can handle dragons, inner demons, Gotham’s criminal element, 1980s Manhattan and Angus Macfadyen, but now Christian Bale is in a whole new world: South Central Los Angeles. In Harsh Times, Bale is a former solider who joins former Six Feet Under corpse-artist Freddy Rodriguez for a little fun and a whole … Continue reading

TRANSFORMERS TEASE YOU

The teaser trailer for Michael Bay’s Transformers movie is up at the official site right now, a couple of days ahead of the expected July 4th launch (what the heck are we going to get at Comic Con at this rate?). I had been actually getting a little interested in this movie over the last … Continue reading
