Below is the the trailer for Roman Polanski‘s “Carnage.” The last film of his I saw was “Rosemary’s Baby,” which was not nearly as entertaining as it was made out to be. I have no intention of seeing anything else that the man puts out–and kick myself on occasion for even seeing ‘Rosemary,’–because there’s that […]
Kevin Tancharoen, the director of 2009’s “Fame” reboot–perhaps one of the most unnecessary remakes that I can recall–was so impressed with “Mortal Combat” that he directed a series of short films, four of which I have included below, that reinvented the series in a more realistic, gritty fashion than Paul W.S. Anderson’ s original film. […]
Here’s the trailer for the upcoming second season of the Frank Darabont-less “The Walking Dead.” While I can’t get around, over, or under that it seems that he was treated very shabbily by AMC, there’s some comfort in, according to Aint It Cool News, that the first episode of the new season is the believed by them […]
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 […]
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 […]
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.”
Here’s the trailer for “Twilight: Breaking Dawn.” I don’t personally see the attraction of the series, then again, the millions of people that do more than make up for my lack of interest. That being said, what does interest me is that Bill Condon is behind the camera, because a talented director can elevate just about any project, […]
No matter what one thinks of Tyler Perry’s films and television projects–and to be honest I don’t think all that well of them–the man clearly has business acumen. He’s currently listed as Forbes’ highest paid male in entertanment, earning an estimated $130 million dollars from May 2010-2011. You would have to be pretty prolific to […]
