Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Review – Buckman’s Take

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian Review – Buckman’s Take

This wasn’t supposed to happen. A sequel to a mildly amusing family adventure flick isn’t supposed to be funny, entertaining and easily the most delightful film seen this year, yet, despite nearly the same plot from its predecessor and most of the same jokes, Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is a blast.

Alien…The Remake?

Alien…The Remake?

 
Well here this reporter was thinking that the worst kind of heart-wrenching remakes would be along the lines of Fright Night & Flight of the Navigator, but once again I am proven wrong. 20th Century Fox decided to take advantage of the 30th anniversary of the classic Sci-fi movie Alien and completely turn it around [...]

3 Clips From Terry Gilliam’s ‘The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus’

Though played to mixed reviews at Cannes, Terry Gilliams’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has one thing going for it: Heath Ledger’s final performance. Sure…part of the film is faux-Ledger mixed with CGI, “movie magic” Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell, but the late actor is there. Somewhere.
In the present day, immortal 1,000-year-old Doctor [...]

Pics of Angelina Jolie on the Set of ‘Salt’

A rabid photog on the set of Angelina Jolie’s upcoming spy thriller, Salt, snagged some pics of Jolie. I’m not going to lie to you. They’re not really exciting but even lame-ish pics of Ms. Jolie are better than having no pics of the Lipped One.
Salt features Jolie (Wanted, Changeling) as a spy who is [...]

Disney to Develop New ‘Flight of the Navigator’

Disney to Develop New ‘Flight of the Navigator’

The bastardization of my childhood memories continue. Disney will rehash its family sci-fi adventure film, Flight Of The Navigator, and has attached Brad Copeland (Wild Hogs) to pen the new rehash and grits.
No word if the new Navigator will merely modernize the tale or boldly re-imagine it, but one thing is certain. It shall be [...]
