Besides NOT being awake at 5:30am and not really caring who gets an Oscar, I have decided to do a quick recap about what really matters.
Here is the run down of who is nominated – my guess for winners in BOLD. This doesn’t mean I agree.
Best Picture
Atonement
Juno
Michael Clayton
No Country for Old Men
There Will Be Blood

Cloverfield – Review

Cloverfield – Review

Well, it’s finally here kiddies. Months of anticipation, meted out through a now infamous viral campaign, and what do we have to show for it? A big fucking monster movie. That’s pretty much exactly what I wanted. Were all of our questions answered? No. Like, what the bleeding hell is Slusho, and why should I [...]

Justice League served.

Justice League served.

For a while, the Justice League film was being fast-tracked to production to make an early 2009 release–Warner Bros. has hit the brakes.
The official story is that the script, penned by Kieran and Michele Mulroney, needs tweaking. This is the biggest obstacle due to the WGA strike, which has no end in sight. Also, [...]

Star Trek. the Next Movie.

Star Trek. the Next Movie.

If you don’t mind the spoilers, you can run on over to www.hollywoodchicago.com and check out the Star Trek movie teaser trailer. (no pictures, just a play-by-play description)
While there isn’t really anything new on this production, the fansites are running rampant with photos of the Crew out and about at the Cloverfield premiere in [...]

Indiana Jones. For the Faithful.

Indiana Jones. For the Faithful.

Yes, we know, you’ve seen this all over the place. We didn’t get dibs on a “leaked” photo from the set or anything cool like that, we’re just total Geeks for this franchise and will take every available opportunity to post up any and everything that comes along.
Hopefully by the time the film actually hits [...]

Blu-ray Review: Sunshine

Blu-ray Review: Sunshine

What was the last great sci-fi movie? The Fountain was pretty good, if not a little self-indulgent, and Serenity was a solid sci-fi flick, but I wouldn’t call either of those classics. To me, it’s been a long while since a truly great sci-fi movie has come out, and the last good one [...]

Blu-ray Review: Dragon Wars

Blu-ray Review: Dragon Wars

Holy God, Batman, Dragon Wars is awful. D-War, Dragon Wars, Vaginal Douche, whatever the hell you want to call it, this movie is the biggest piece of shit in years. This is a movie where, I’m assuming, the director had no idea how to speak English and decided to have a mentally handicapped [...]

Bale wants Depp!

Bale wants Depp!

Alright ladies (and some of you guys) time to brace yourselves and pretend you’re not melting in your seat. Variety is reporting that Christian Bale is in negotiations to star opposite Johnny Depp in Michal Mann (Heat) helmed “Public Enemies”. Johnny is already signed to play the infamous bank robber John Dillinger, and Christian Bale [...]

Iron Man Trailer 2

Iron Man Trailer 2

It has some more action scenes, some more dialogue between Tony and Pepper. Overall its got a lot more to add to this developing story. Although it’s short at 1 minute, it still gives us some more tasty tidbits to chew on until late 2008.

I must say that I am truly excited for this movie. [...]

Big Cloverfield News (but no monster picture)

Big Cloverfield News (but no monster picture)

The folks at /Film have gotten their paws on some production notes for Cloverfield wherein we gets us some more clues about the Big Bad Baby in Cloverfield. Really, it’s a baby. JJ says so himself. And the movie is a love story. A fucking love story? Please.
Reeves also skillfully interweaves an important storyline throughout [...]

Choke – coming soon

Choke – coming soon

I love “Fight Club”. I’m a huge fan of Chuck Palahniuk’s work; so much so that I know how to spell his name without looking it up. (He’s the guy that wrote the book “Fight Club” by the way.) He’s got some other amazing books that should have been made into movies, “Choke” being one [...]

Cloverfield Monster? For real? (seriously don’t look down if you don’t want to see it)

Cloverfield Monster? For real? (seriously don’t look down if you don’t want to see it)

Alright, so it’s only (reportedly) a picture of the toy version, but it should still be what the damn thing looks like (apparently). That fiendishly sexy site MovieWeb got this picture from some guy I guess and they also claim the image was created by the art director for the movie.
