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 [...]
UPDATED WITH WINNERS!!! 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 [...]
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 [...]
Jeff, Who Lives At Home Comes Outside For A Bit To Give Us A New Trailer
I’ve been hearing good things about JEFF, WHO LOVES AT HOME, since it premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year. I’m looking forward to the chance to check it out when it plays down here at the Miami International Film Festival. I was a big fan of the Duplass brothers’ CYRUS last year, [...]
The World Is Watching Jennifer Lawrence In The Hunger Games Final Poster
Having never read THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy of novels to this point, I still find myself getting caught up in the excitement brewing for the first film, arriving on March 23. I sense the enthusiasm fans of the books have heading into these films, and I know it’s not something along the lines of what [...]
Party On With The New Trailer For Project X
Back when I caught a glimpse at the first trailer for PROJECT X, the main thing that struck was the MPAA’s reasoning for the R rating it was receiving: crude and sexual content throughout, drugs, drinking, pervasive language, reckless behavior and mayhem – all involving teens. Reckless behavior and mayhem had my interest, since I [...]
The Kidd Vs. Red Tails
It wouldn’t surprise me if somewhere throughout the annals of time, there existed a version of RED TAILS that dazzled and excited, while paying proper tribute to the legacy of the great men who helped at least bend the color barrier in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. George Lucas has been [...]
Are There Enough Sony Products For You In Resident Evil: Retribution Teaser Trailer?
Today Screen Gems released their first teaser trailer for yet another RESIDENT EVIL flick, this one subtitled RETRIBUTION, but, by the end of it, I wasn’t exactly sure what I had just watched. Was it a first glimpse at another movie I don’t want to see in this rather dreadful series based on a video [...]
Batman’s Flying Vehicle In The Dark Knight Rises Has A Name
For those of you wondering what Batman’s latest airborne toy is called in THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, you can put all of your speculation to rest. It’s not the Bat-Plane, the Batwing, the Bat-Copter, the Bat-Jet or anything along those lines. It’s simply The Bat. Hot Wheels filed some documents with the FCC regarding their [...]
The Kidd Vs. Extremely Loud And Incredibly Close
September 11th is not a plot device. Period. If there’s going to be a film made about 9/11, then someone should do so, telling the tragic stories of those who lost their lives on that day or those that lost loved ones… but, if you’re going to do so, own it. Don’t try to hide [...]
UPDATE!! Is Chuck Norris Ruining The Expendables 2? Yes!!
I’m not really quite sure where the love for Chuck Norris has come from in recent years. Sure, WALKER, TEXAS RANGER ran for nine years (Wow… really?! Nine years?!), but can you honestly find me someone who was a die-hard fan, never missing one of those episodes? Of course not. Anyone who ever watched it [...]
Melissa McCarthy Is Set To Steal Jason Bateman’s Identity In New Seth Gordon Comedy
Every time Seth Gordon’s name is attached to a comedy, I keep hoping that this is going to be the one that winds up being funny. I have a lot of love for THE KING OF KONG: A FISTFUL OF QUARTERS, so, when he made his transition into regularly doing fictional narratives, I was hopeful his overall [...]
EXCLUSIVE: Joe Carnahan Reveals The Scene That’d Set Off Narc 2
The internet has been a-buzz for about a week and a half about the possibility of director Joe Carnahan returning to his NARC roots for a sequel to the film that really put him on the map as a filmmaker. In speaking to Moviehole while promoting his new film THE GREY, Carnahan mentioned that he’d [...]
Lionsgate Is Wasting No Time Catching Fire
THE HUNGER GAMES still aren’t due to be fought in theatres until late-March, but that isn’t stopping Lionsgate from moving with the quickness on getting the next step of the trilogy rolling before non-readers are even introduced to Katniss Everdeen for the first time. The Wrap reports that director Gary Ross will return behind the [...]
UPDATED WITH GUEST LIST!!! Miami – The Kidd Wants To Take You Once More Into The Fray For His Birthday With The Grey
In the past, it’s been quite difficult to find movies to rally around for my birthday. Celebrating in the middle of January is like having a party in the middle of a garbage dump, with studios dropping their junk like clockwork around my special day. However, this year was different. I wanted to do something [...]
The Kidd Vs. Carnage
Roman Polanski’s new film CARNAGE, based on the play Yasmina Reza’s play God of Carnage, features strong performances from each member of the film’s wonderful cast – Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz – with intriguing dialogue covering everything from morals and values to gender roles to world views to politics [...]
The Kidd Vs. Contraband
CAUTION: SPOILERS AHEAD If only CONTRABAND didn’t look so amateurish and feel so stupid, it might have been a decent action flick for Mark Wahlberg to proudly add to his resume. Yeah, if only… instead what audiences are subjected to is a film with way too many plot twists and character turns, most of which [...]
It’s Nearly Time To Return To The Sea For Finding Nemo 3D
Supplementing all of their original films, Disney is going to keep riding the re-release train to great success, by bringing some of their modern classics and Pixar greats back to the big screen for special engagements in 3-D. THE LION KING proved wildly successful, and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST should do similar business for The [...]
