I visited the set of Screen Gems’ Prom Night last summer (coverage coming soon!), but, to be honest, a few hours spent watching a group of high school kids traipse into a ballroom wasn’t terribly indicative of how the PG-13 remake might turn out. The set was certainly running smoothly under Nelson McCormick’s direction, whose … Continue reading
In every Indiana Jones movie, Indy comes up against some sort of vermin or creepy crawly: snakes, slimy bugs, rats. So what’s in store for him in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? Ants, according to Lego. And possibly giant ones. Dennis Bruhn, who says he has one of the largest collection … Continue reading
Paramount’s not showing the opening of Cloverfield to you, probably because that’s all boring get to know the characters stuff.

They’ve given us 100 pieces of Movie Cash, each worth $10, that can be used pretty much at any theatre across the … Continue reading
