Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris Share ‘TMI’

Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris Share ‘TMI’

Whether you love or hate Just Friends (an inconsequential little comedy that came out a few years ago), you have to admit that Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris shared a great deal of comic chemistry. This is largely due to the fact that Reynolds is incapable of being anything but charming, while Faris is unstoppably [...]

Cate Blanchett’s Indian Summer Delayed

Cate Blanchett’s Indian Summer Delayed

You know you’re working in the bizarre world of Hollywood when your film is delayed even with a name like Cate Blanchett attached to star. Your movie can have everything going for it, but one little shift in the tide and it will be iced indefinitely.
That’s what has happened to Indian Summer, the Cate Blanchett [...]

Kirby’s Estate Wants Their Rights Back

Kirby’s Estate Wants Their Rights Back

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, [...]

Universal’s Gears Grind to a Halt Until 2010

Universal’s Gears Grind to a Halt Until 2010

In a cost-saving move that is undoubtedly the product of a messed up economy, Universal Pictures will stop spending money to develop advancing projects for the remainder of this year. Thus, unless a project is being fast-tracked, no progress will be made on films under Universal’s umbrella until January.
Why is the studio freezing developments so [...]

Love Happens Review

Love Happens Review

There are certain steps that one must take in order to cope with the loss of a loved one. While Burke, played by Aaron Eckhart, walks people through their grievances, he avoids facing his own – until he comes face to face with Eloise, played by Jennifer Aniston. From there he must deal with the [...]

Justin Takes Your Highness

Justin Takes Your Highness

Justin Theroux, seen in films such as Miami Vice and The Ten, needs to prepare his evil cackle since he has been casted as the villain in the fantasy comedy Your Highness.

Fresnadillo Enters Rapture

Fresnadillo Enters Rapture

BioShock is seriously one of the greatest games ever made. The whole thing plays out like a well scripted novel, and immerses you in its world to where you actually feel like you’ve been and visited Rapture. That, and the joy it brings to catch a grenade in mid-air only to launch it back at [...]

Inglourious Basterds Review – Philip’s Take

Inglourious Basterds Review – Philip’s Take

Normally when a film leaves me cold, I tend to shy away from thinking about said picture. If I must, I’ll ponder the film and realize that I’d just seen a film I wanted to like, but had ultimately witnessed something mediocre or worse. Walking out of Inglourious Basterds, I recalled the same feeling as [...]

Atomic Team Review: Funny People

Atomic Team Review: Funny People

PHILIP BARRETT: Sometimes, one can expect too much out of a film. It’s not the fault of the film itself, but more on the audience and trailers. The Matrix sequels are the best, recent example of this as most were left generally disappointed. Time at this point has not been kind to either of them [...]

Scott Pilgrim…Ready…Fight!

Scott Pilgrim…Ready…Fight!

Scott Pilgrim, sounds familiar right? Most likely not? Yeah, I thought so. Recently I was introduced to Scott Pilgrim by a friend of mine, Blanca, who had a majority of the comics. She was ranting and raving at me about how much she liked the comics, which are really funny and good, and how disappointed [...]

Bruno Review

Bruno Review

Throughout Bruno, one wonders if the point of the film is for Sacha Baron Cohen to try too hard. He might have been with his previous effort Borat, with the difference being that film felt natural. That’s not to say Baron Cohen’s latest venture doesn’t as it’s amazing he pulled so many people in on [...]
