I actually saw the trailer for Xavier Gans’s “The Divide” sometime in 2011, though it’s nice to see it’s finally coming out. Despite some cataclysmic event that brings a group of strangers together, it seems that their greatest enemy is themselves.
Tobe Hooper is back with “Djinn,” and while he is a talented director, he’s also somewhat erratic in terms of the quality of his output. There’s a lot of debate over whether he directed “Poltergeist,” which looks like a typical Steven Spielberg film (other than the subject matter), though that could be due to the […]
Someone wiser than I said that “There is no such thing as bad publicity.” Looking at what some of the candidates for the Republican presidential nomination are saying, there’s perhaps some truth to that adage. Though I am not here to talk politics, so let’s apply that famous saying to the movies. Recently Rev. Bob […]
This is interesting. I always assumed that David Prowse was the only person that played Darth Vader in the various Star Wars films and sequels, though seems that someone else played Vader during the lightsabre duels. That person is Bob Anderson, a Hollywood fencing coach who also worked on Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings […]
Twentieth Century Fox is re-releasing George Lucas’s “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace” in 3D in 2012, according to The New York Times. Is such a move going to help the current box office slump? This makes me wonder: Is adding another dimension to a pretty mediocre movie really going to make a […]

If that makes any sense. That last scene on the cliff face, with Snake Eyes and the red-dressed Cobra ninjas (speaking of which, why would a ninja, […]
Liam Neeson vs. Nature. Nature doesn’t stand a chance.
Many blogs, this one included, have commented upon how difficult it is to understand Bane (Tom Hardy) from the trailers so far released from Christopher Nolan’s upcoming “The Dark Knight Rises.” It seems that Nolan was aware of the sound problem was well, though the approach he has taken is a somewhat novel one. Here’s […]
Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope for the best for you and your loved ones. That being said, is there nothing that Steven Spielberg isn’t involved with? I just finished watching “True Grit”–a little bit choppy in the editing department, but otherwise very entertaining–when I noticed that Steven Spielberg was listed as an […]
I had no idea that the rights were being contested, but according to the New York Times, Marvel Entertainment owns the rights to the character, which were being challenged by Gary Friedrich, a freelance writer. It’s probably not a coincidence that Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance is coming out February 17 of next year.
