The Kidd Vs. Chronicle
There’s still a lot to get excited about in the superhero genre. This year alone, we finally get THE AVENGERS, Marvel Studios’ culmination of all the hard work that went into creating this movie universe where superheroes and their villainous counterparts seem right at home (we’ll pretend to forget about IRON MAN 2). After that, [...]
The Kidd Vs. The Woman In Black
THE WOMAN IN BLACK desperately wants to scare you. Unlike the majority of half-assed horror films out there that just go through the motions generating your laughs more than your screams, THE WOMAN IN BLACK tries its absolute hardest to send thrills and chills through your body as a result of what you’re seeing play [...]
Serious As A Heart Attack – A Jackie Brown Prequel Is On
Being the big Tarantino fan that I am, I’ve always felt JACKIE BROWN never quite gets the respect it deserves. For any other filmmaker, JACKIE BROWN might be the crown jewel of their career. However, for QT, it gets lost in the mix of such greats as PULP FICTION, RESERVOIR DOGS and INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. Go [...]
Infamous Radio: Episode 12 – Escape To Africa
We know you’ve been waiting for our take on the Oscar nominations, so, for Episode 12 of Infamous Radio, Raven McCoy, Jon Doe and I discuss who made the Oscar cut and some likely winners in the major categories. Plus, we’ll talk about Warner Bros. expensive investment in the continuation of THE HANGOVER series, Sony [...]
The Trailer For Red Lights Contains Psychic Powers Of Some Sort
I don’t really think you can judge whether or not you’re going to like RED LIGHTS by the trailer newly released by Millennium Entertainment. I’ve heard widely different opinions of the film which debuted at Sundance this year. Some really enjoyed it, while others absolutely hated it, mostly as a result of the end of [...]
Another Screenwriter Takes Their Best Shot At Robocop’s Reboot
MGM remains insistent that a ROBOCOP reboot is the smart thing to do, and, even though no one’s been able to crack it to their liking so far to make it work, they haven’t given up trying. The Hollywood Reporter reports that Nick Schenk (GRAN TORINO) has been hired to work on the script in [...]
Joe Carnahan Confirms His Death Wish
It was quite surprising last week when news broke that Joe Carnahan was circling DEATH WISH. After , DEATH WISH really came out of nowhere. With that, all sorts of questions arose as to how Carnahan would approach it. Was it going to be a remake of the original 1974 Charles Bronson film? Was it [...]
Katy Perry Wants To Shoot Things From Her Boobs In 3-D For Concert Movie
Is there really any reason for a Katy Perry 3-D concert movie? Hell, let’s take it one step further… forget about paying to watch it in the extra dimension… would you even watch a Katy Perry concert in 2-D for free on your TV? Doubtful. But Paramount is betting the other way, talking to Perry’s [...]
Adam Sandler Is Taking Candy Land From Bad To Worse
As if the idea of a movie based on the CANDY LAND board game didn’t sound bad enough from the get-go, prepare to cringe as the planned flick just get a whole hell of a lot worse. Now that its deal with Universal pictures is coming to an end, freeing them up to take a [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! Miami – We’re Ready To Give You Safe Haven At An Advance Screening Of Safe House
Sometimes when things go bad, you need a place to hide out, somewhere you can let things cool out before making your next movie, a secure location… a safe house of sorts. We’ve got a safe haven for you to get comfortable in for a few hours next Tuesday, February 7, at 7:30 p.m. at [...]
You May Leave On A Jet Plane In 7500 Teaser Trailer, But That Doesn’t Mean You’ll Return
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K and also aboard Vista Pacific Flight 7500 with non-stop service from Los Angeles to Tokyo. I guess we have that guy who wouldn’t turn off his phone to blame for all the strange occurrences set to take place on this 10-hour flight, such as the overhead compartments [...]
Superman Doesn’t Like When You Mess With His Family In The Cold Light Of Day Trailer
I thought it was only the Hulk who you wouldn’t like when he’s angry. Based on the new trailer for Summit’s THE COLD LIGHT OF DAY, you can now add Superman to the list, particularly when you kidnap his family. Henry Cavill, who’ll be donning Supes’ tights for MAN OF STEEL, stars opposite Bruce Willis [...]
Taylor Lautner Can’t Stretch Himself Any Further To Make Stretch Armstrong Flick Work
Things have been rather dormant on the STRETCH ARMSTRONG front for awhile, with the project, developed as a vehicle by Hasbro with Taylor Lautner in the title role, sitting over at Universal, collecting dust. Well, pull the elastic man off the shelf, because he’s back in action, and it looks like without Lautner in tow. [...]
Step Up 2 A New Trailer For Step Up 4
Ah… you see what I did there…? Clever clever if I may say so. As much as I have a soft spot for dancing movies (I absolutely confess to them being my guilty pleasure), I have never been able to embrace the STEP UP series. Maybe it’s because we got off on the wrong foot [...]
Matthew Vaughn Is Returning For Another First Class X-Men Movie
After a return to glory for the X-MEN franchise (there was nowhere to go but up after X-MEN: THE LAST STAND and X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE) with X-MEN: FIRST CLASS, 20th Century Fox has closed a deal to bring Matthew Vaughn back to direct the sequel, with Simon Kinberg (THE LAST STAND, THIS MEANS WAR, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: [...]
Joe Carnahan May Have A Death Wish
I just spoke to Joe Carnahan two weeks ago, and I wish this news about a DEATH WISH reboot would have been floating around, so I could have asked his take on it. He mentioned NARC 2, KILLING PABLO, WHITE JAZZ… but no talk of DEATH WISH, so now I’m just left to speculate on [...]
God Bless America Trailer Takes Aim At The Things Ruining America
Many will remember Bobcat Goldthwait for his wild stand-up persona or for his crazy role as Zed in the POLICE ACADEMY series, but Bobcat has really moved beyond that in recent years, pursuing a filmmaking career built around biting satire and dark comedy. He’s come a long way since SHAKES THE CLOWN. I wasn’t a [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
