Here’s the trailer for “Tyrannosaur,” which looks to be a really cool movie, though in the name of honesty I have to admit that when I heard the name of the film I was a tad disappointed that there were no tyrannosaurs running about. In Tyrannosaur’s defense (the movie, not the extinct dinosaur), Peter Mullan […]
According to Deadline, Kevin Costner has removed himself from consideration for a role in Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained,” supposedly because of his very busy schedule. That being said, Tarantino, whom I am not a big fan of, seems to understand what it is that the moving-going public wants to see. After all, his Inglourious Basterds […]
Superherohype has images of Anne Hathaway as Catwoman from the upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises,” and I am hoping that the pictures taken are really bad ones because they appear to look really, really mediocre. I could have posted about this earlier, but I was just so underwhelmed.
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 […]
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.
According to Slashflim, there may be a new Blofeld in the next James Bond feature. Blofeld (Full name: Ernst Stavro Blofeld), head of the criminal organization, SPECTRE, originally appeared in “From Russia, With Love,” and went on to be the main bad guy in “Thunderball,” “You Only Live Twice,” “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service,” and […]
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 […]
According to Vulture, Harlan Ellison, famed science fiction writer, is suing the Andrew Niccol and Regency, the makers of the upcoming Justin Timberlake feature, “In Time.” Ellison claims that it rips off his short story, “Repent Harlequin!” Said The Ticktockman” I read Ellison’s story many years ago, and it was inspirational–though I thought that “I […]
The trailer for Andrew Niccol’s “In Time,” starring Justin Timberlake. It sounds like a bit of “Logan’s Run” with a liberal dash of John Christopher’s “The White Mountains.”
“This “Contagion” may be hard on the system, but it’s well worth catching.” “Contagion” is a scary film, though it didn’t get that way by accident. Part of why it is so effective is because the scenario it presents is a very realistic one, as anyone who has even remotely paid attention to the scourge […]
