First, Keanu Reeves decided not the take a lead role in Warner Brothers’ “Akira,” and now Albert Hughes, one half of the Hughes Brothers producing/directing team, has left the film. Supposedly his leaving the project was amicable, but the project–collapsing in such a fashion–seems a bit unusual. Then there was Warner’s attempt to get other […]
“X-Men: First Class” is coming to theaters June 3rd, to commemorate Twentieth-Century Fox is introducing “X-Men EXTRA”, an app that claims to put the viewer “…in the middle of history’s most defining–and top secret–moments. At the moment it’s available only for iPad.
‘Mea culpa’ is a Latin word which means: an acknowledgment of one’s fault or error. I am referring to my attempt to catch “Attack The Block” yesterday; the operative word being “attempt.” As you can see from the screening pass, the showing was at 1930; I assumed that arriving a half-hour earlier would be enough.

Vin Diesel is discussing with the French press the possibility of a sequel to “The Chronicles of Riddick.” Notice that the interview was recorded two years ago, which gives you an idea how long it takes to get a project, even an established one, off the ground I am a fan of “Pitch Black,” and […]

Here’s the trailer for the upcoming kids vs. aliens thriller (think E.T. with a very bad attitude. And teeth) “Attack The Block” from Joe Cornish, a frequent collaborator with Edgar Wright (both of whom worked on the screenplay for the upcoming “The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn” for Dreamworks, and “Ant-Man”, for […]
The reason I titled this post ‘Remember When I Told You Not Leave During “Thor” Credits?’ is because I knew that there was an added scene that showed up only after they were done, though I had no idea that people that stayed would get an added bonus beyond the ‘hidden’ scene itself. That’s that the […]
Now take this with a HUGE mound of salt, but according to ComicBookMovie.com, Shockya.com, and numerous other sites, Tom Welling, who just completed playing Superman in Smallville, is being courted by Marvel Studios. Various writers then make a leap that would do the Hulk proud, and assume that the character that Marvel expects him to play […]
I must admit that when I heard that Zach Snyder had cast Henry Cavill as Superman in the upcoming reboot, I didn’t think much of the decision. First, Zach Snyder was directing, which is an issue depending upon what you think about what he has done so far. I think that he’s competent, but not […]
If you’re a horror fan–and who isn’t?–you probably hold Tom Holland’s Fright Night high in your pantheon of horror films. It’s being remade by DreamWorks Pictures and stars Colin Farrell, Anton Yelchin and David Tennant and is directed by Craig Gillespie
