UPDATED! On June 29th, Earth goes to war. Steven Spielberg’s War of the Worlds, an updating of the classic HG Wells novel, is the blockbuster to beat this summer. My review is embargoed until release, but I don’t think that Paramount is going to mind too much if I tell you that this is a … Continue reading
As the adaptation to Alan Moore’s provocative graphic novel V for Vendetta creeps ever closer to completion, we begin to see the marketing machine slowly gear up for the eventual November release. We already got a glimpse of Mr. Weaving in the infamous mask not too long ago right here, and you can see the … Continue reading
I really enjoyed Master & Commander, but knowing that it was less than a box office success, I never questioned why there hasn’t been a sequel. But maybe Billy Boyd, one time hobbit and sailing man on the HMS Surprise, hasn’t been let in on the film’s gross. He tells The Hollywood News: There are … Continue reading
I never thought that the much talked about Untouchables prequel would ever get off the ground. So color me doubly surprised that Brian DePalma is directing it. Titled The Untouchables: Capone Rising, the movie is about – well, you figure it out for yourself, genius. DePalma, of course, directed the original way back in 1987, … Continue reading

Retired from the parcel delivery business, ex-military operative Frank Martin has relocated to Miami where he … Continue reading
Kong is seen. That’s the face of the big ape who is going to rule the end of the year in Peter Jackson’s remake of the classic film. Looks pretty good to me – I like his snaggly tooth, and he has a convincing beat up look about him. That sort of look comes from … Continue reading
The concluding chapter of Chan Park-Wook’s astonishing vengeance trilogy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, is almost out in Korea, and the trailer is here. I don’t speak a word of Korean (except "jaji", which sounds like "Chachi," and apparently means "dick") but I do enjoy Karaoke in Koreatown and I also enjoy the imagery of the … Continue reading
Here on our message board discussion of Batman Begins, many people are blaming all the stuff they don’t like in the film on David Goyer. There’s this impression, it seems, that Christopher Nolan was forced to use some Goyer screenplay and that the director valiantly worked to beat it into shape.
