Edited 7/22 1155, 1216 According to cnet, Apple has sold 1 million copies of Lion (Mac OS X 10.7). What’s most amazing about that number is not only that it was released last Wednesday, but for the first time Apple has issued a OS (operating system) that was downloadable via the App Store ( an […]
Edited 731 7/22 I don’t know about this rumor, but it’s too fascinating to let go. According to Deadline, Apple is considering purchasing Hulu for $2 billion. What’s most interesting is that the deal would include two years of exclusive programming from NBCUniversal (now owned by Comcast), Fox (NewsCorp) and Disney (who happens to have […]
Edited 7/21 1220 Marvel has a new, downloadable “Avengers” poster. I like the glassy minimalist look that doesn’t attempt to reveal the whole film. I’m psyched because I am a fan of Joss Whedon‘s Serenity (which is somewhat ironic because I am not too crazy about “Firefly,” the television series which was the basis for […]
Edited 7/21 at 1231 According to Deadline, New Line is dropping the reboot of “Escape From New York.” This is great news because I can’t be the only person tired of remakes seemingly for the purpose of name recognition and–I assume–because they’re easier to do in that you’re working in a already established universe that’s […]
Edited 7/21 942 As I have posted before, though perhaps not quite so blatantly, “Green Lantern” is a box office failure, and much of that weakness is due to the film never catching on overseas. That being said, I had no idea that it would fall as steeply as 72% in one week. This is […]
Edited 7/20 at 1926 Here’s the most recent trailer for Marc Webb‘s “The Amazing Spider-Man” though Sony has been pulling it quite often, so I have no idea how long it’s going to be up. Why does this movie not move me? Part of it I think is due to “Spider-Man 3” having come out […]
I have seen the “Avengers” teaser trailer (Check it out quick. It might not be there long), and it’s dark. I don’t mean ‘dark’ in a thematic sense; I mean it literally, in that someone snuck a video camera into the theater where the trailer was showing, and filmed it, kind of dark. What I […]
For anyone who still has a bad taste in their mouth from the 1995 version of “Judge Dredd,” starring Sylvester “I AM THE LAW!!!” Stallone, here’s a picture of Karl Urban as the famous (and perhaps infamous) embodiment of the law in Mega City One.
I just learned something (which is not as unusual as some might think;): The only Spike Lee Joint that wasn’t profitable was “Miracle At St. Anna,” and I assumed that was because the box office had spoken. And Box Office Mojo, seemed to confirm that perspective, seeing that the film earned almost $8 million in […]
This is not a review of J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek because, if it were, it’s two years too late. Sometimes I think that to get the feel of a film I have to let it ‘stew’ for a while, then give it another chance. I liked ‘Star Trek’ when I saw it in theaters, though […]
