I have heard of “Star Wars Uncut: Director’s Cut,” but before watching most of it I had no idea how remarkable a project it is. Started by Casey Pugh in 2009, it is a complete version of “Star Wars: A New Hope,” but made up of a few hundred 15-second increments by different individuals, that, […]
My biggest problem with Danny Cannon‘s 1995 version of Judge Dredd wasn’t Sylvester Stallone–sure, being one of the biggest stars in the world at the time pretty much assured that he would be saying inane things like “I am the LAW!” at the top of his lungs, but he’s hardly the worse thing about the […]
Remember that Green Arrow TV show that Greg Berlanti is writing–if for my seemingly endless whining, if nothing else–that I mentioned a week or so ago? It’s been green lit, pardon the pun, for a pilot on the CW network, to be called “Arrow.” I am not quite sure why the “Green” part is being […]
For those of you that haven’t seen “Archer” on FX, imagine James Bond, only he’s American, sorta stupid, and extremely dysfunctional. Why there hasn’t been a feature film version (with real people, instead of cartoons) I have no idea.
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.
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 this trailer is any indication, “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” looks to be moving somewhat away for its cartoonish predecessor, and becoming the “Blackhawk Down” of toy-based action movies. 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, […]
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 […]
