Here’s a post from Nikki Finke and Deadline, talking about Warner Bros. current problems revolving around cost overruns on some of their upcoming films, like “The Lone Ranger,” and “Arthur & Lancelot.” I reference it because there’s a mention of Guillermo Del Toro’s aborted “At The Mountains Of Madness” in the fourth paragraph.
I am not sure what it is that irritates me so much about the upcoming “Battleship,” though I think that I will give it a shot. First, the movie is budgeted somewhere in the ballpark of $200 million. That’s $200 million dollars for a movie based upon a Hasbro board game. Now, Transformers was hardly […]
Here’s the trailer for Barry Sonnenfeld’s Men In Black 3. It looks interesting, and while I have to admit that Josh Brolin makes a great Tommy Lee Jones, it’s become apparent–if it weren’t already–that the star of this film is Will Smith. Apropos of nothing, I find it interesting that, according to IMDB, Sonnenfeld was […]
Netflix has had a particularly rough year. First, there was the price increase, which was not very well received, probably due to the way it was handled more than the increase itself. Then there was the split of Netflix into two companies: Quikster, for the delivery of DVD’s, and Netflix for the streaming of video. […]
Anne Hoyt, one of the originators of this website, is back. She has upcoming a review of Steve McQueen’s “Shame,” starring Michael Fassbender, as well as an interview with Gary Oldman.
I don’t know what it is, but I enjoyed this trailer. I have always been a fan of the Stooges, and this is a daring film because there are some that are devoted to Larry, Curly and Moe who will act as if the Farrelly Brothers are treading upon hallowed ground with the their film. […]
Jeffrey Combs, who played the original Herbert West in Stewart Gordon’s “Re-Animator,” is for one night only going to play in the play based upon the aforementioned film. In other words, Combs, is going to play, in a play, the role that he originated from a movie that came out twenty-six years ago. How cool […]
Sometimes, you find something on the web (that isn’t porn and has nothing to do with anyone involved with Jersey Shore the Kardashians) that demands to be seen. “Touch of Evil” from the New York Times is an example of such an thing. It’s composed of thirteen short clips, with actors like Viola Davis, George Clooney, […]
Tom Fontana, creator of television shows like “Homicide” and “Oz” is coming back to television with “The Box,” a police procedural with a difference: It revolves around an interrogation room of a police station. This is a very cool idea, though I think that Fontana could make a television show about the telephone book and […]
Actually, I did give Deadline that credit, so never mind. I get the feeling that it’s going to be a long day.
