It appears that The Weinstein Co. and Relativity Pictures have settled a lawsuit over the reboot of Alex Proyas’s 1994 film, “The Crow,” and both instead intend to work on the film. The question I have is why, since the various sequels (“The Crow: City of Angels,” “The Crow: Salvation,” and “The Crow: Wicked Prayer,” […]
I have heard of “Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut,” but before watching most of it I had no idea how remarkable a project it is. Started by Casey Pugh in 2009, it is a complete version of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” but made up of a few hundred 15-second increments by different individuals, that, […]
According to Deadline, Red Tails is doing great business, though the article makes sure to include caveats about why that will possibly not be the case for too much longer (it’s strongly implied that because it appeals primarily to African-American audiences that it will not be able to maintain box office strength). This is an […]
My biggest problem with Danny Cannon‘s 1995 version of Judge Dredd wasn’t Sylvester Stallone–sure, being one of the biggest stars in the world at the time pretty much assured that he would be saying inane things like “I am the LAW!” at the top of his lungs, but he’s hardly the worse thing about the […]
Remember that Green Arrow TV show that Greg Berlanti is writing–if for my seemingly endless whining, if nothing else–that I mentioned a week or so ago? It’s been green lit, pardon the pun, for a pilot on the CW network, to be called “Arrow.” I am not quite sure why the “Green” part is being […]
According to Cnet.com, Hulu has a 13-episode commitment to “Battleground,” a comedy about a primary campaign for a Wisconsin Senate seat, “A Week In The Life,” a 10-episode documentary series about famous people, and a so-far unnamed travelogue series from Richard Linklater. Streaming services like Netflix and Hulu are developing original content in order to […]
Today is Martin Luther King Day, and I wanted to post this because too often I have either heard someone deliberately (or not. I am not sure that it makes a difference) misinterpret what he said. It bothers me because it’s so easy to hear–in King’s own words–what the man had to say, minus the […]
For those of you that haven’t seen “Archer” on FX, imagine James Bond, only he’s American, sorta stupid, and extremely dysfunctional. Why there hasn’t been a feature film version (with real people, instead of cartoons) I have no idea.
“Green Lantern,” a film that should have been the first salvo of DC Comics assault on the box office, and Marvel Studios, has almost reached the $220 million mark worldwide. That’s a lot of money, though when your production budget is $200 million, we aren’t necessarily talking about sequel material, despite what Warner Bros. says (by the […]
I actually saw the trailer for Xavier Gans’s “The Divide” sometime in 2011, though it’s nice to see it’s finally coming out. Despite some cataclysmic event that brings a group of strangers together, it seems that their greatest enemy is themselves.
