For anyone that hasn’t seen Marvel’s “The Avengers,”–and considering all the moolah it’s pulling in, there are probably very few people who haven’t–get out there and catch what will probably be one of the best movies of the summer. For those who have, you’ll notice that NO time was spent exploring the origins of the […]
While the Black Widow acquitted herself well in “The Avengers,” you might be interested to know that she was not originally going to be the featured female heroine in the film. That honor would have gone to Janet Pym, otherwise known as the Wasp. If you ask me–and you didn’t–it’s better that she didn’t appear […]
First off, I am not quite sure how “untold” this story is, since there were three prior films covering similar territory. Then, for some reason, they don’t feature Mysterio (quite possibly the greatest Spidey villain ever*) and the web-slinging scenes appear to look better than those of Raimi’s original trilogy, but do we really need […]
The second trailer for John Chu‘s “G.I. Joe: Retaliation” trailer was released today, and looking at it I think that the filmmakers need to be careful to remember that this movie is based on toys from Hasbro. I mention this because Stephen Sommers‘ original film appeared to be more cartoony than its sequel. By the […]
Spike Lee’s last feature, 2008’s “Miracle at St. Anna” didn’t do that well at the box office, though for his latest ‘Joint’ he’s gone back to his Brooklyn roots for a “Red Hook Summer.” In the film he reprises his character ‘Mookie,’ from “Do The Right Thing,” though supposedly that character is the only thing […]
Oliver Stone is a somewhat uneven director, though when he gets it right, as “Platoon” and “Wall Street” illustrate, he’s capable of great things. I haven’t seen “Natural Born Killers” in a while, but I recall it feeling like a bit of a knock-off of Quentin Tarantino’s style (which makes sense, since he wrote the […]
If you have been watching the news in the past few months, you might have stumbled upon Kirk Cameron airing his views about homosexuals. Now, whether or not you agree with him, it it’s nice to see some pushback from some other former child actors. The acronym that ‘Child Celebrities Opposing Kirk Cameron’ also fits […]
Gary Ross will definitely not be returning to direct “Catching Fire,” the sequel to “The Hunger Games,” that has so far earned over $300 million domestically, and almost $160 million overseas. This isn’t necessarily a problem because Catherine Hardwicke didn’t return to the ‘Twilight’ films, and they went on to break records worldwide. George Lucas […]
According to Collider, Shane Black’s “Iron Man 3″ is casting soon, so if you’ve never been an extra before, it’s worth considering. The last time I did it was on “The Dark Knight Rises” and that was a lot of fun (when you factor out that it was really cold, there was LOTS of running […]
“The only revelation that “Hellraiser: Revelations” offers is that someone either needs to take this franchise seriously, or let it die. “ I was browsing though Netflix, as I often do, looking for a decent horror flick. There’s are some classics, like William Friedkin’s “The Exorcist,” or Michael Winner’s “The Sentinel,” though for every classic, […]
