When I was offered to participate in a roundtable with the (overseas) famous pop star Rain I didn’t really know anything about him. Didn’t know he was a musician or the fact that he has some intense fans. To me, he was just the minor character in Speed Racer and the upcoming star of Ninja Assassin. That changed a [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, Iron Man is back. Although Iron Man 2 is expected to be one of the biggest films of 2010, we haven’t really been hearing much about it. However, it was recently revealed that the next issue of Empire magazine will be featuring the superhero. The tagline for the article boasts an Iron [...]

It’s been known for some time that Shrek Forever After, the fourth and final installment in the Shrek series, is in the works, but very little had been said about what exactly the last film would focus on. The third film ended with the birth of Shrek and Fiona’s ogre-babies, so it could be assumed that [...]

While the crew of the Destiny is gradually getting used to life aboard ship, back home on Earth the chain of command is getting restless. They have soldiers waiting in shifts at the ancient communications stones, but there has not yet been a peep from the Destiny. Further agitating his current dislike for the way [...]

The Road After No Country for Old Men, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a film based on a Cormac McCarthy book. I enjoyed No Country, for the most part, but like a lot of people, I felt somewhat alienated by the ending. I’ve always been a fan of stories where the character(s) are [...]

Cormac McCarthy’s The Road is one of his best books and is simply pure greatness. Now, his masterwork is making its way to the big screen thanks to director John Hillcoat. Hillcoat’s previous film, The Proposition, was obviously inspired by McCarthy’s work so it made plenty of sense when he signed on. He’s now delivered [...]

With the second season of Fringe well under way, Joshua Jackson is no stranger to the sci-fi circuit. Next up for the actor? Jackson will be starring in the film adaptation of the British series UFO. The show was a cult favorite of the ’70s, and centered around a covert defense agency that protects earthlings [...]

It’s been seven years since the release of Seabiscuit, and apparently that’s plenty of time for Hollywood to reenter the world of horse racing. The autobiography of jockey Julie Krone, the most successful female jockey in racing history, has been adapted into a screenplay entitled Freak. Katherine Brooks has signed on to direct the film, [...]
