Timur Bekmambetov Wants To Adapt A Kids’ SciFi Novel
I feel like Timur Bekmambetov just popped out of nowhere. I mean, the U.S. knows him for doing WANTED, an adaptation of a the graphic novel of the same name, but prior to that, he was doing a bunch of Russian flicks (since he is from Russia.) He adapted the novels Night Watch and Day [...]
The Darkest Hour Proved To Be The Darkest Hour & A Half For Jon Doe
I was once a fan of alien flicks. Thinking back to my childhood, there was nothing more thrilling than watching a movie where little men came from the unknown and wrecked havoc of varying varieties on the people of our planet. KILLER KLOWNS FROM OUTER SPACE, FIRE IN THE SKY, INDEPENDENCE DAY… these are the [...]
After Seeing These New Posters, I Know I Don’t Want To Mess With Lincoln
With all the stuff on my plate, I have the largest list of books that I really need to get to. I think the last thing I read was Dante’s Inferno and I only managed to get through a quarter of it before life just took over and made it more than impossible to continue reading. [...]
The Lights Come On For The Darkest Hour Motion Poster
Consider me intrigued by THE DARKEST HOUR, Summit Entertainment’s sci-fi/alien movie, set to hit theatres just in time for the holidays. I can see where some might have horrible visions of SKYLINE from the trailer, based on the electricity gimmick… but this just feels like a totally different approach to the genre for me. We [...]
Jon Doe Watches As Apollo 18 Crashes & Burns
For a brief moment following APOLLO 18, I thought I had been defeated. While in my mind, I was still relishing in the fact that the movie looked completely absurd and it’s story was one that had been told so many times before, I felt that somewhere in it’s complicated interplanetary rhetoric and the subtle [...]
Details Are Revealed For Monsters Director Gareth Edwards’ New Film
In this day and age of studio tent-pole films with budget in the hundreds of millions I can’t help but have the utmost respect for a director that can take a small chunk of change and produce a film more engaging than most of the so called blockbusters out there. With MONSTERS Gareth Edwards did [...]
The Darkest Hour Trailer Invades Our Homes; Leaves No Survivors
Zombies and Vampires may be popular again, but at the end of the day, audiences always come back to the alien invasion flick. If SUPER 8 taught us anything this summer, it’s that audiences love it when creatures from other planets come to earth to blow shit up, harvest/exterminate our people or manage to [...]

Apollo 18 Teaser Poster Wants Us To Know There Is Life In Outer Space
The Kidd has no problem with the increasing supply of “found footage” movies that are now all the rage since PARANORMAL ACTIVITY showed that the concept can work and make mad bank if done well. As long as it continues to make good movies and tell solid stories, then I’m all for it. Once they [...]
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Goes 3-D And Goes To Fox
I don’t care what the post-conversions have done to water down the marketplace… I am still a sucker for 3-D. When used correctly, it can be an effective tool that adds to your movie-going experience. Want to know when it’s used properly…? When it means bringing the 16th President of the United States to the [...]
Timur Bekmambetov Is Lined Up To Direct Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
Once I get through Max Brooks’ The Zombie Survival Guide, next on The Kidd’s reading list is Seth Grahame-Smith’s Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
