Arrested Development Better Than None At All
Netflix, looking to differentiate themselves from Amazon and Hulu, have begun to develop original series, with an unspoken benefit of a (mild) lessening of the hold that content providers (such as Starz which is pulling their content from the network in 2012) currently have. The development of original series is a smart move for the […]
The Hunger Games Trailer
I just watched the trailer for “The Hunger Games,” and it looks OK, but not quite distinctive enough for me to pay to see. Lionsgate has a lot riding on this film, and looking at the trailer I am not sure that it’s money well-spent. The movie–and hopefully the sequels–are based upon a series of […]
21 Jump Street Trailer
The original “21 Jump Street” was a television series about a team of cops that appeared younger than their years, which was a good thing, since their ‘beat’ was high school. The cast was an ensemble, though the most famous alumnus of the series would have to be Johnny Depp. The movie version of the […]
Weeds Renewed For Season Eight
Whenever I write, “I really like whatever, but…” you can be assured that I am going to dispense a little tough love. This time is no different because I just learned that Jenji Kohan’s “Weeds,” the Showtime series about the Botwin family and their adventures, which generally revolve around either selling or consuming marihuana, has […]
Immortals Fight Scene
Tarsem Singh, director of “The Cell,” and “The Fall,” is now tackling the world of Greek gods with “Immortals,” territory explored in films like “Clash Of The Titans,” and to a lesser extent, “300.” The clip below is a particularly violent one, but his stylized direction makes the violence in some instances beautiful, almost balletic, […]
Magnus Rex Filming
Last Saturday I was part of the filming of “The Dark Knight Rises,” code named “Magnus Rex,” in New York. I played one of 600 Gotham City policemen who had just escaped from being trapped in Gotham’s subway system by Bane. No pictures were allowed, though I recall enough of the 13 hours I worked […]
‘Skyfall’ Is Confirmed As James Bond Movie Title
According to Reuters and Aintitcool.com, the latest upcoming James Bond adventure wil indeed be called “Skyfall.” The film, the 23rd in the series, will be filmed in London, Shanghai, Istanbul and China. Additions to the cast will be Albert Finney, Javier Bardem, Berenice Marlohe, and Naomie Harris.
Bond 23 = Skyfall?
For awhile the rumor mill said that the title of the upcoming James Bond film would be called Carte Blanche, which I still think is a bit staid and a lot hoity toity, especially for the Daniel Craig incarnation of James Bond. It appears that perhaps someone else had the same thoughts, because the now […]
‘Tyrannosaur’ Trailer
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 […]
