‘In Time’ Trailer
The trailer for Andrew Niccol’s “In Time,” starring Justin Timberlake. It sounds like a bit of “Logan’s Run” with a liberal dash of John Christopher’s “The White Mountains.”

‘Twilight: Breaking Dawn’ Trailer
Here’s the trailer for “Twilight: Breaking Dawn.” I don’t personally see the attraction of the series, then again, the millions of people that do more than make up for my lack of interest. That being said, what does interest me is that Bill Condon is behind the camera, because a talented director can elevate just about any project, […]
Tyler Perry Tops List Of Highest Men In Entertainment
No matter what one thinks of Tyler Perry’s films and television projects–and to be honest I don’t think all that well of them–the man clearly has business acumen. He’s currently listed as Forbes’ highest paid male in entertanment, earning an estimated $130 million dollars from May 2010-2011. You would have to be pretty prolific to […]
‘Contagion’ Review
“This “Contagion” may be hard on the system, but it’s well worth catching.” “Contagion” is a scary film, though it didn’t get that way by accident. Part of why it is so effective is because the scenario it presents is a very realistic one, as anyone who has even remotely paid attention to the scourge […]
Remaking ‘Point Break?!’
See, this is the sort of stuff that irks me to no end. According to The Wrap, Warner Brothers is remaking “Point Break,” though I have to ask, “Why?” The film itself isn’t anything remarkable, though you do have Keanu Reeves in a role in which he’s actually engaging. Then there’s Patrick Swayze, who sells […]
‘The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo’ Trailer
Here’s the trailer for David Fincher’s English-language remake of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” I am posting this because I saw the trailer during “Contagion” (review forthcoming) and was almost deafened by the sound, which seemed intent upon pummeling me into submission. The teaser poster above is probably a bit too “breasty” for some, […]
Roland Emmerich Comes To His Senses
Roland Emmerich, seemingly the inheritor of the “Master of Disaster” title from Irwin Allen, tells Collider that he isn’t going to make a film version of the video game Asteroids. This is a wise decision because, if you thought that the game Battleship was devoid of plot, Asteroids makes it seem like The Battleship Potemkin. That […]
Andy Whitfield Has Passed
Today, Deadline reported that Andy Whitfield, former lead in Starz’ “Spartacus,” has succumbed to non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. I thought that I had not seen any of his work, till I learned that he starred in “Gabriel,” which I enjoyed, though I had no idea he was in. Though, truth be told, if I had known it […]
‘Drive’ Trailer
Here’s the trailer for “Drive,” the latest film from Nicolas Winding Refn, starring Ryan Gosling (though for my money, seeing Albert Brooks play whom I assume is a villain is what I really want to see). I saw the trailer during “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark,” and though that it looked interesting, whichever accent […]
Bond 23 Seemingly Not Fixxed
According to Aint It Cool News, the opening theme for the latest Bond adventure will probably not be done by The Fixx (who were robbed when the song”Fatal Shore” was not used for “Tomorrow Never Dies”) and will probably instead be done by Adele, who’s probably talented (I haven’t heard any of her music), but […]
