Nicolas Cage Exorcises The Ghost Rider

It appears that Nicholas Cage has finally come to his senses, and is putting the Ghost Rider behind him.  2007’s original, directed by Mark Steven Johnson, wasn’t terrible, but it made a sophomore mistake, namely that it was pretty tame for a movie about a character that’s possessed by a demon. The original film should […]

‘StarCraft II: Vengeance Of The Swarm’ Trailer

I am not a huge video game player, though I always seems to make my way back to a ‘StarCraft’ game.  The story lines are engaging, and they’re less about how many things that you kill (though killing does come into play, it’s by no means random) than how you manage your resources, which will […]

‘Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning’ Review

I recently read a review, that claimed that John Hyams’ “Universal Soldier: Day Of Reckoning” was better than most of the ‘Universal Soldier’ films that were released theatrically (‘Day of Reckoning’ was direct to video). I am not sure if that’s the case, though it is more violent.  And by ‘violent’ I mean lots of […]

NPR: The Austin 100 At SXSW

I am a huge music fan, though I have noticed that I tend to get somewhat set in my ways, which makes it hard for me to discover new music.  That’s why I am thankful for NPR offering the opportunity to download–FREE–100 mp3’s from artists that are headlining at this year’s SXSW Music Festival in […]

‘John Dies At The End’ Review

“Here’s to all the kisses I snatched, and vice versa.” —Fred Chu Think about it for a moment, you’ll get it. One of Marvel Studios’ Phase Two projects is a feature film version of Doctor Strange, Master of the Mystic Arts. I still think that Ioan Gruffudd should play Strange, though who should direct?  On […]

Where’s Wesley Snipes?

The answer to my question is probably still prison, but finding a link to this film got my hopes up, albeit momentarily.  It’s a western, and sounds essentially like “Blade,” but with zombies instead of vampires. Unfortunately, it had been sitting on the shelf since 2007, so Snipes had to have made it prior to […]

Weird Math: ‘Rise Of The Guardians’ Edition

The head of DreamWorks Animation, Jeffrey Katzenberg, reported that as a result of the weak performance of 2012’s “Rise Of The Guardians” the studio had to write off $87 million. Sure, it’s not a “John Carter” sized loss, but it’s still substantial. Now here’s the weird part:  ‘Rise’ earned over $300 million worldwide (on a $145 million […]

New ‘Iron Man 3’ Poster

Here’s another “Iron Man 3” poster, this time focusing on Iron Man/Tony Stark and various armored suits.  It appears that the penultimate Iron Man film (Yeah right, if this makes a much money as anticipated, I expect that we’ll be seeing Iron Man for a long while, which is when things get really interesting because […]

‘Iron Man 3’ Character Posters

This isn’t new–it’s been available on the Interwebs for about a week now–but if you haven’t seen it, it’s new to you. What you’re looking at is the latest cast member poster from “Iron Man 3,” and I have to admit that Ben Kingsley, as the Mandarin, looks all sorts of badass, which I hope […]
