Kevin Tancharoen, the director of 2009’s “Fame” reboot–perhaps one of the most unnecessary remakes that I can recall–was so impressed with “Mortal Combat” that he directed a series of short films, four of which I have included below, that reinvented the series in a more realistic, gritty fashion than Paul W.S. Anderson’ s original film. […]
Chris Carter, whose absence from movies and television could almost be the subject of an X-File itself, is back, according to Deadline. He was the driving force behind television series like “The X-Files,” “Harsh Realm,” Millennium,” and “The Lone Gunmen,” as well as the films, “The X-Files: Fight The Future” and its sequel, “X-Files: I […]
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming second season of the Frank Darabont-less “The Walking Dead.” While I can’t get around, over, or under that it seems that he was treated very shabbily by AMC, there’s some comfort in, according to Aint It Cool News, that the first episode of the new season is the believed by them […]
Looking at this trailer, despite never having read the book by Alexandre Dumas, I get the feeling that this movie isn’t going to be the least bit faithful–except in a very surface manner–with the novel that it’s supposedly based upon. This makes me wonder why it’s even be called ‘The Three Musketeers,’ as opposed to something […]
Here’s footage of Jeb Corliss, a BASE (buildings, antennas, spans & earth) jumper, wearing a wingsuit and “flying” though a hole in a mountain in China. I emphasize the word flying because the suit he’s wearing, while generating lift as a result of a relatively large surface and air pressure (similar in principal to the […]
According to Deadline, Kevin Costner has removed himself from consideration for a role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained,” supposedly because of his very busy schedule. That being said, Tarantino, whom I am not a big fan of, seems to understand what it is that the moving-going public wants to see. After all, his Inglourious Basterds […]
Superherohype has images of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman from the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises,” and I am hoping that the pictures taken are really bad ones because they appear to look really, really mediocre. I could have posted about this earlier, but I was just so underwhelmed.
The New York Times has an interesting story about Gym Jones (Yes, the name does come from Jim Jones, the cult leader that lead 900 people to their deaths in 1978), where Henry Cavill is training for his role in Zach Snyder’s upcoming reboot of the Superman franchise. It’s also where Gerard Butler trained for […]
Global warning, earthquakes, nuclear disasters. All considered by some to be signs that humanity has overstayed its welcome on planet Earth, and that deserving Christian types will be rescued, while the rest of us will be doomed to remain upon a dying planet.
Not exactly faint praise, because “The Wire” is one of the best series ever made for television, free or otherwise. I didn’t expect much from “Breaking Bad,” because I am familiar with Bryan Cranston from his work on “Malcolm In The Middle,” so another series with him parading around in his underwear didn’t exactly send […]
