Jon Doe Managed To Find The Superpower In Chronicle
When I walked out of watching CHRONICLE, I felt really guilty for having liked what I just saw. It bothered me that I totally bought into what had transpired in the film and that I was completely complacent in the fact that the film systematically creates what I can only describe as a near-deity existing [...]
Raven McCoy Was Terrified Of The Woman In Black
Although Daniel Radcliffe has hung up his robes and wand he just can’t seem to leave the world of the supernatural behind just yet. Abandoning the magic but retaining the ghosts and spiritual world, THE WOMAN IN BLACK is his first big screen outing since the HARRY POTTER franchise and follows Radcliffe as he portrays [...]
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 [...]
Justin Timberlake Is Lucky Enough To Work With Clint Eastwood
Ugh… Bad news on the horizon. It looks like Justin Timberlake is everywhere. This has got to be one of the saddest eras in cinema history when someone like Justin Timberlake is in almost every movie. Aside from the tons of flicks he did last year, like THE SOCIAL NETWORK and that star vehicle IN [...]
Samantha Barks Will Play Eponine In Tom Hooper’s Les Miserables
Last we heard from Tom Hooper’s LES MISERABLES, he was considering Amanda Seyfried and Taylor Swift for the role of Eponine. His decision seems to be largely influenced by the fact that he is looking to do live singing during filming, which still seems loony to me. Well, it seems they were considering Swift for [...]
Katniss Everdeen Gets Personal In The New Trailer For The Hunger Games
Two months, nineteen days and five hours. That is exactly how long it’s been since the first trailer for Lionsgate’s highly anticipated movie THE HUNGER GAMES debuted on “Good Morning America.” In that time, I have devoured all three books in Suzanne Collins’ series and I mean literally devoured the books. I ran through all [...]
Hunger Games Is Going To Be On The Giant Screen
With the recent hectic schedule I’ve subjected myself to, it’s hard to find time nowadays to read. With that in mind, I know I probably won’t be able to get to The Hunger Games before the flick comes out. Then again, for some odd reason, I’m still not all that excited about it. Sure, the [...]
Brad Bird May Be Directing A Sea Monster Movie
Here’s another movie I hadn’t heard about. Apparently, Thomas Tull, CEO of Legendary Pictures conceived a bad-ass movie not too long about a real American Revolutionary War Naval hero, John Paul Jones (Not the bassist from Led Zeppelin) battling fucking sea monsters! It’s in the same vein as HANSEL AND GRETEL: WITCH HUNTERS and ABRAHAM [...]
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 [...]
Russell Crowe May Be Playing An Old Man On A Giant Boat
Woah, it’s a been a while. I feel like I haven’t written in like a year, but it’s only been may a week or so. Well, let’s get right into some back story. Way back in October, we reported on Darren Aronofsky’s follow-up to his award-winning BLACK SWAN would be the epic Biblical tale of [...]
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 [...]
DC Comics Announces Watchmen Prequel Series; Die-Hard Fans Prepare To Begin Rearmament
WATCHMEN wasn’t a perfect movie. I’ll be the first to admit that. When I went to see it in the theatre, maybe I was blinded by the sheer adrenaline rush at the fact that I had somehow managed to sneak into an R-rated movie at 16. Many would argue, however, that the graphic novel the [...]
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 [...]

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. [...]
The Rack – First Week of February 2012
FIRST WEEK OF FEBRUARY 2012 And just like that January is done. Yay!! One month done, ten and a half more to go before the end of the world. Sadly this week’s Rack doesn’t quite compare to last week’s as only about half of this week’s offerings are worth checking out. We’ve got a man [...]
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: [...]
