Nicolas Cage Exorcises The Ghost Rider

It appears that Nicholas Cage has finally come to his senses, and is putting the Ghost Rider behind him.  2007’s original, directed by Mark Steven Johnson, wasn’t terrible, but it made a sophomore mistake, namely that it was pretty tame for a movie about a character that’s possessed by a demon. The original film should […]

Where’s Wesley Snipes?

The answer to my question is probably still prison, but finding a link to this film got my hopes up, albeit momentarily.  It’s a western, and sounds essentially like “Blade,” but with zombies instead of vampires. Unfortunately, it had been sitting on the shelf since 2007, so Snipes had to have made it prior to […]

‘Mama’ Review

““Mama” is an auspicious debut from Andrés (Andy) Muschietti that gets much more right than wrong.”   Andy Muschietti’s “Mama” is a bit of a throwback to an era when horror films aimed not to disgust, but to scare and frighten.  It was a time when most of the violence was implied, yet somehow was more effective than […]

‘Mama’ Leading Weekend Box Office

It seems that I am not the only one with mother issues because the Guillermo Del Toro produced horror film, “Mama,” has already earned $10 million Friday, and is on track to add another $20 million by the end of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday. Unfortunately, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s, “The Last Stand” seems to be […]

‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’ Review

“The Journey May Be Unexpected, But Beautiful Vistas, Interesting Challenges, And Humor In The Oddest Of Places Make The Journey More Than Worthwhile.” A few hours ago I got back from seeing Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit” An Unexpected Journey” at 48 fps (frames per second) and 3D, and I have to say that the faster […]

The Weekend In Movies – 12/14/2012

Let’s see…for fans of genre there isn’t all that much to pick from. Peter Jackson’s “The Hobbit,” came out today, but it’s getting somewhat mediocre reviews. That being said, I am most curious about the version that’s filmed at the faster frame rate of 48fps (frames per second), despite reading that it has caused some […]

Link To The Awesome ‘Pacific Rim’ Trailer

The trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pacific Rim” has finally arrived, and it’s too cool for school.  It reminds me a bit of Michael Bay’s ‘Transformers’ films, except that it doesn’t suck, you care about the characters–which I can even tell from the trailer, amazingly enough–and has some awesome robots. I like two things in […]

‘Madness’ Is Alive

When I read that Guillmero Del Toro was abandoning his passion project, a movie based upon H.P. Lovecraft’s “At The Mountains Of Madness” partially because Universal decided that a movie like “Battleship” would be a better investment (that’s not quite fair.  I have no idea if Universal financing “Battleship” had anything to do with them […]

The Viral Campaign For ‘Pacific Rim’ Has Begun

Many movies, to compete in a very competitive market, market their films in ways that go beyond the traditional.  For instance, for 2010’s “Tron: Legacy” the makers of the film had a campaign that led the inquisitive to FlynnLives.com and as a reward let them see a light cycle before the general public. I don’t want […]
