Dark Horizons, home of that Aussie spunk Garth Franklin (I think I used his term correctly), reports that some fairly major reshoots have been happening on Superman Returns – mostly of action sequences. Bryan Singer and his crew have decided to rejigger some of the action moments because they too closely resemble other recent films, … Continue reading
I was hoping that I could tell whether the next Harrison Ford movie, Manhunt, would be any good based on the director chosen. Now a director has been hired – and I remain baffled. Manhunt is about the 12 day search for the man who shot Abraham Lincoln (I won’t spoil it for you by … Continue reading
For those of you sick of Kirsten Dunst’s lazy lidded performances bringing movie after movie to their knees, you will soon get the distinct pleasure of seeing her bite the dust at the hands, innards and shards of flying steel of an Iraqi suicide bomber. The film she will be starring in is an as-yet … Continue reading
Cinematic veteran and personal idol Clint Eastwood has assembled a fairly decent cast (and Paul Walker) for his WWII tale Flags of Our Fathers, which follows those Easy Company soldiers made famous by the flag-raising photograph at the battle of Iwo Jima. But that’s not enough war for the guy who went where eagles dare, … Continue reading

I have heard a couple of people say that Universal has done a poor job of marketing King Kong so far, but I really have to disagree. It’s too easy to burn us out early by pumping out a bunch of teasers and releasing too many images and doing too much PR. I think King … Continue reading

But even I have a hard time explaining why he would say that it’s possible that the federal government caused New Orlean’s Ninth Ward to flood after last month’s Katrina horror. "It’s not too far-fetched . . . I don’t put anything past the United … Continue reading
