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 […]
The trailer for “The Killer Elite,” staring Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert DeNiro. So far, reviews seem mixed, and I am definitely not feeling the mustache on Owen, though Statham is a walking can of kick-arse.
An ‘Easter egg’ is defined by The Associated Press Stylebook as: “a hidden “surprise” in a program, a website, a DVD or a television show, such as an extra level of a computer game or a message.” I was watching “Thor” yesterday when I noticed the poster pictured above on the side of a wall. […]
According to Slashflim, there may be a new Blofeld in the next James Bond feature.

Such a position, while debatable, doesn’t go far enough to illustrate how the adult film industry has had to innovate in the drive to attract viewers. Porn, like any other business, demands a degree of change, of growth, if providers […]
Here’s a link to the red band trailer for “The Thing,” though I don’t see what all the drama is about because it isn’t any gorier that the regular version, though there appear to be a few more FX shots. What really interested me about it was that it seemed that the first person to fall […]
Many view “The Chronicles of Riddick,” as a failure, which it very well be, depending upon your metrics. If you’re looking exclusively at box office receipts, then it was, seeing that it brought in $59 million domestically and $58 million internationally, for a total of $115 million. That’s a decent take, though when you consider that […]
Edited 1026 9/19 I just got this email from Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix. I wonder it it has something to do with a loss in subscribers as well as a 19% drop in their stock price? I suspect so because Hastings didn’t appear to care about apologies when his stock was riding high. The […]
