There’s no doubt that Will Smith is one of Hollywood’s biggest power players: he’s one of Tinseltown’s highest paid actors, and if his name is put on a project, chances are pretty good that film is going to do well at the box office.
However, Smith is not one to rest on his laurels and go [...]
Jack Kirby, co-creator of such comic book creations like the X-Men, Fantastic Four and Captain America, is coming back for copyright vengeance. Well, at least his estate is. The estate of Jack Kirby is going straight for the jugular, as BleedingCool has more:
[The Kirby Estate] has sent notices terminating copyright to publishers Marvel and Disney, [...]
I can assume that on May 4th, 2007 no one felt like a bigger dunce than yours truly. While most would say I walk through every single day as a nimrod, it never rang truer than when I dressed up as black costume Spider-Man for the midnight IMAX showing of Spider-Man 3. After feeling like [...]
Nicolas Cage became another casualty in the never ending string of problems for Sony Pictures feature The Green Hornet. After negotiations with the star’s contract came to a standstill, the actor dropped out of the cast. Cage was signed on originally to play the villain Mr. X in the Michael Gondry directed film. Now that [...]
Look no further for the most bad ass man to hit the scene, with Apparition picking up some distribution rights for the blaxploitation film Black Dynamite. Sony Pictures (Worldwide) still holds onto the feature, but is sharing along with Apparition in order to domestically distribute the seventies set film to audiences nationwide. Originally introduced to [...]
Midway through District 9, this viewer witnessed something slightly different than what was happening on-screen. X-Men Origins: Wolverine was zapped into oblivion while Star Trek was blasted through some shacks. Terminator Salvation and Angels & Demons where blown to smithereens, The Hangover and The Proposal ran when they saw Pelham 1-2-3 massacred as Transformers: Revenge [...]
There are certain films that can ultimately be forgiven of their faults provided they supply something else in lieu. The Crank films are a perfect example of that as is pretty much every slasher film ever made. Be it gratuitous action, some gross out comedy, or special effects one can easily forgive terrible writing and [...]
Stealing is wrong, and it’s a lesson that should be taught to one at a young age. With so many movie websites nowadays, most of us follow a code of ethics to link to the site with the source material. What we don’t do is take another sites content and claim it as our own. [...]
Happy times all right! Who doesn’t get fuzzy with the overly used up plot device of inevitable world destruction by some random natural disaster? If you don’t, then Ronald Emmerich did not hear you one bit thanks to the creation of his latest disaster piece (possibly in more ways than one) 2012. Starring the likes [...]
Year One wants it’s audience to believe it’s Agent Sands at the end of Once Upon A Time In Mexico. The film blindly fires it’s comedy at us, hoping things will hit us and evoke mountains of laughter. Why shouldn’t it? It’s directed by Harold “Egon” Ramis who’s done some decent comedy directing and is [...]
PHILIP BARRETT: Give Tony Scott credit, he’s improved over his career. He went from being his generation’s Michael Bay (see: Top Gun, Days of Thunder) to developing his own style and being a legitimately good filmmaker (see: Man on Fire, Enemy of the State.) One could say he learned a thing or two from [...]
Angels & Demons is like watching Juno. Like that overrated mess from 2007, Ron Howard’s latest film wants to be more than it really is. No one told it that at the end of the day it’s just Indiana Jones with some Bourne sprinkled in. The script tries to mask it’s many shortcomings in religious [...]
