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: [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
