Movie Review: The Ides Of March
Two actors, two faces and a two sided story. I smell an Oscar nod for Gosling…I see audience rejection of the film.
Movie Review — Restless
It’s October. A time when Ghoulies, Ghosties and Long-Legged Beasties roam the earth. But if you start seeing the ghost of a World War II Japanese kamikaze fighter pilot, you’re probably Enoch Brae, the central character of Restless. And that’s not a bad place to be. Enoch is an odd kid. If your name is Enoch [...]
Movie Review — Real Steel
“Rock ‘em Sock ‘em Robots” get their day on the big screen in Real Steel, a movie that transcends the one-joke premise and is instead a heartwarming, fist-pumping mechanized fairy tale of a father and son coming together amid some of the baddest technology you’ll ever wish was really available. Not to bad for a [...]
Welcome back to AP’s Comic-Con coverage. Here’s the highlights from Day Two of the San Diego Comic-Con.
A.K.A. LOTR Edition or Vuvuzela Edition, also Buzzing Noise Edition… am I annoying you yet? good! I’m doing my best vuvuzela impersonation. As you’ve probably guessed this video has something to do with soccer, specifically the 2010 FIFA World Cup currently being played in South Africa, and Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. I bet you [...]
Today, IMAX and Warner Bros. announced that they had signed a deal to release 20 films in the format over the next three years. In the statement, several release dates were revealed, as well as an update on Guillermo del Toro’s “The Hobbit.”
While we all have read the headlines lately that The Hobbit may be in trouble and may not start on time or possibly at all. We do have a ray of hope from the fine folks over at the Matamata Chronicle. The Matamata Chronicle was given an exclusive tour of Hobbiton as work on the [...]
Golden Globe nominated Tobey Maguire (for his role in Brothers) is leaving the Spider-Man franchise for Guillermo del Toro’s The Hobbit big-screen adaptation. One wonders if the reported changes being made to the Spider-Man franchise didn’t have a lot to do with his decision. Spider-Man’s turn from bright, poppy, action hero to gritty, dark, vigilante [...]
Sam Raimi’s Ghost House horror genre production label will now branch into a new one — Spooky Pictures, which will focus on delivering horror/thriller films to family audiences. This seems odd coming right off the heels of Disney’s deal with Guillermo Del Toro to create Double Dare You. The first film to be produced under [...]
Disney’s business plan is blowing up huge. Apparently the expansion into Marvel territory wasn’t enough, and now Guillermo Del Toro will be lending his talents to the House of Mouse. Del Toro is starting a new animation label entitled “Double Dare You,” which will produce darker animated thriller films. Del Toro told Variety that: “As [...]
I will personally handle anybody who says Guillermo del Toro isn’t working hard for the money, West Side Story-style. (snap your arse off, mate) Though currently handling pre-production of The Hobbit, del Toro will reunite with Spanish firm Rodar y Rodar for producer duty on the “dark Spanish-language thriller” Los ojos de Julia (Julia’s Eyes).
