Lockout Trailer Brings Escape From New York Into Outer Space
The new trailer for LOCKOUT, starring Guy Pearce and Maggie Grace, couldn’t possibly reek anymore of John Carpenter’s ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK unless it was actually called ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK. Then again, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK is pretty bad-ass, introducing the world to Kurt Russell’s Snake Plissken… this modern sci-fi action flick has Pearce [...]
What To Expect When You’re Expecting Delivers A Few Character Posters That Cover The Different Stages Of Pregnancy
I’m sure a lot of people are going to quickly label WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING as typical chick flick fare, filled to the brim with estrogen, as most of the film’s ensemble cast moves towards birthing a baby of one kind of another. However, based on the series of character posters recently released [...]
Big Name Actors Bow Out Of Anticipated Roles
It’s always a shame to lose a large actor from a really cool role where they possibly would have shined in. Especially, when you get invested in that actor playing that specific role. And then to learn that they won’t be playing them anymore and you’d have to learn to adapt to someone else playing [...]
Liam Hemsworth Gets Another Lead Role In A Romantic Drama
Liam Hemsworth is slowly building up his resume. Aside from that flick THE LAST SONG, co-starring Miley Cyrus, he landed a huge part alongside some of the biggest action stars of the 90′s and today, in the EXPENDABLES 2 and one of the most anticipated adaptations this year, the HUNGER GAMES. I’m not sure what [...]
Raven McCoy Almost Wanted To Jump After Seeing Man On A Ledge
When it comes to action thrillers there’s nothing I love more than a tale of multiple stories with each one acting as a distraction for the other as they all work together for some grander agenda. You think you know what’s going on and have a handle on the situation and then BAM! Everything just [...]
The Grey Is Returning To Theatres In October For A Shot At Oscar Glory
Back when I saw THE GREY for the first time late in December, after finally coming down from how intense it was, I wondered how a movie this great could have gotten stuck in a late-January release date. I was seriously considering it for inclusion in my Top 10 of 2011 list, and had it [...]
Jon Doe Finds The Grey To Be Quite Gray
THE GREY stars Liam Neeson as John Ottway as a man who is on the verge of giving up on life. Instead of surrendering to the barrel of his gun, however, he and his comrades fall victim to a plane crash during a violent snow storm and wind up stuck in the frozen tundra of [...]
Jon Doe Enjoyed Hanging Out With The Man On A Ledge
MAN ON A LEDGE is not PHONEBOOTH. I initiate with this statement as I want to hastily walk the large elephant out of the room. All talks I’ve had pertaining to this film have resulted in someone asking the question, “So it’s like PHONE BOOTH, right?” Even I was under the presumption that the film [...]
New Amazing Spider-Man Synopsis Reveals More About That Untold Story
It’s hard to say how I feel about THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN flick that’s coming out this summer. I mean, I like Andrew Garfield from the few flicks I’ve seen him in (THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS), the lovely Emma Stone, and the very cool Rhys Ifans. Plus, despite the shit that fanboys are giving the [...]
Steven Spielberg Is Pretty Close To Working On Moses Epic Gods And Kings
Over the last few months, things have slowly been coming together at Warner Bros. for this Moses biopic, entitled GODS AND MONSTERS, they’ve been working on. Back in September, we covered the story that they were looking at Steven Spielberg to helm this epic story. In November, Spielberg reciprocated his interest in the project and [...]
The Raven Lands On A New Release Date, Gets A New One Sheet
Will Relativity Media’s Edgar Allen Poe-inspired murder mystery THE RAVEN, starring John Cusack as Poe still be available for audiences to see on its original release date of March 9th, head-to-head against Disney’s JOHN CARTER? Quoth the Raven, “Nevermore.” Relativity has shuffled the release date deck a bit, moving THE RAVEN back, off early-March, in [...]
The Crow Reboot Is Resurrected, Now With A New Director And Writer
If you’re anything like me, you were giving sighs of relief once you heard the reboot of THE CROW was stopped dead in its tracks – after not coming to terms with anyone to play the lead (Bradley Cooper was the frontrunner for some time, and some concept art more than speaks volumes about what [...]
The Next Terminator Will Be Rated R
It’s quite disheartening when you hear of films cutting their own balls off in order to reach wider audiences, when an original R-rated flick is toned down for the sequel, in order to land a PG-13. It’s all about being able to get anyone under 17 in without a parent’s permission (Yeah, like there aren’t [...]
Warner Bros. Is Going To Pay Big Bucks For A Third Hangover
You knew it was inevitable for another HANGOVER to be served up after the second one made $581 million worldwide (an increase from the $467 million the original pulled in). That time is getting a lot closer. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis are in negotiations with the studio [...]
Lily Collins Drops Out Of The Evil Dead Remake
And it’s back to the drawing board for THE EVIL DEAD remake… or at least back to the casting board. Lily Collins, who had been set to star as the female version of Ash with a substance abuse problem, is no longer fronting the new EVIL DEAD. Jeff Sneider from Variety reports that Collins is [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Grey
“Holy shit…” Those were the first words that managed to escape my mouth after surviving the suffocating experience of THE GREY, Joe Carnahan’s masterfully brilliant film about a group of oil workers trapped out in the middle of nowhere, battling for survival against the elements and a pack of aggressive wolves after their plane crashes. [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 11 – Fievel Goes West
With Raven McCoy recovering nicely, the InfamousKidd.com crew is back on the mic for Infamous Radio: Episode 11 – Fievel Goes West. This week, Raven, Jon Doe and I discuss Chuck Norris’ impact on THE EXPENDABLES 2 and whether or not it was all really worth it, the progress of THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy, THE [...]
InfamousKidd.com Exclusive Interview: The Kidd Has One Last Good Talk About The Grey With Dallas Roberts
Next up on my interview tour through the fray of THE GREY is Dallas Roberts. Roberts may be familiar to those of you who gave AMC’s RUBICON a chance before the cable network pulled the plug on the show after one season, playing Miles Fielder, a member of the analysis team under James Badge Dale’s [...]
InfamousKidd.com Exclusive Interview: The Kidd Gets Existential With Frank Grillo In Talking The Grey
After my conversation with director Joe Carnahan, the email came down, asking me if I wanted to set up a phone interview with both Dermot Mulroney and Dallas Roberts, two members of THE GREY’s cast to further discuss the film. Absolutely I was game to get more in-depth on these characters, this group of guys [...]
A Knockout Caption Could Land You A Real Steel Blu-ray Combo Pack
REAL STEEL was a for me last year. It had all the robot fighting I wish Michael Bay’s TRANSFORMERS debacles would have had, without the LaBeouf and the idiotic plot, and there are enough similarities to ROCKY to keep it from going off the rails of silliness. Bottom line: it’s entertaining as hell and draws [...]
Reese Witherspoon And Ryan Reynolds Will Be A Couple Of Artists In Big Eyes
I wasn’t always a big fan of Ryan Reynolds. He always irritated the shit out of me ever since VAN WILDER came out. You best believe I was pretty upset to see him hamming it up as Deadpool in that X-MEN ORIGINS flick. Then, I saw a little indie thriller called BURIED and a lot [...]
More Boring Magazine Covers For The Avengers
I don’t what it is about the marketing over at Disney. THE AVENGERS looks to be one of the biggest movies coming out this year (I think DARK KNIGHT RISES is just a tad bit more anticipated and better.) and they seem to understand that to an extent by continuously putting out lots and lots [...]
The Nominations For The 84th Academy Awards Are In!!
The Academy Awards are what they are. They’re regarded as the premiere say on what was best in the world of film during any particular year. With that said, I’m not one of those people who take some sort of personal stock in the Academy Awards. I don’t have a vote for the Oscars, so [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Miami – We’ve Got Your Back For The Woman In Black
The era of Harry Potter is over, so it’s onto new things for Daniel Radcliffe. He’s already been transitioning out of the iconic wizarding role for some time with some stage work, but THE WOMAN IN BLACK is the first major film he’s taken on since he first donned those Gryffindor robes. Thanks to CBS [...]
InfamousKidd.com Exclusive Interview: The Kidd Enters Into The Grey With Director Joe Carnahan
I can’t stop talking about THE GREY. It’s that simple. Since checking out the movie I thought was simply going to be “Liam Neeson fighting wolves,” and learning it’s so much more – it’s so much deeper, it’s so much more thought-provoking, it’s so much more intellectual than that – I haven’t been able to [...]
