Holy Awesome, Batman! Sequel to The Dark Knight to be shot entirely in IMAX!?

News came out today via ign.com that the sequel to 2008’s absolutely amazing “The Dark Knight” may be shot from start to finish in the IMAX format.
For those of you who remember (lay off the alcohol and it’ll come back to you) “The Dark Knight” was shot only partially for IMAX screens. The total [...]

Toy Story 3 Mini Review

I just got back from Toy Story 3 in 3D and I have a few thoughts on the film that I’d like to share with the readers and get your feedback on this:

This was about half as funny as Toy Story 2 – at least I found myself laughing about half as much during this [...]

Predators Movie Review

I’ve been looking forward to Predators for a long time. I love Predator and I love Robert Rodriguez. It should have been a match made in heaven but I can’t help but feel disappointed. There were a lot of good ideas and a lot of it was executed well but a few key flaws really [...]

Twilight Saga: Eclipse Movie Review

Just to get this out of the way right up front, Eclipse is by far the best of the Twilight movies so far. Many of the annoying things of the past movies were fixed and it looked fabulous. That being said, the problem that even the best Twilight movie is always going to have, and [...]

Knight and Day Review

The experience of watching Knight and Day, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz is sort of like eating cotton candy at the fair. It is tasty and you enjoy it but then it dissolves in your mouth and disappears. The movie is fun and light and dissolves right about the time you walk out of [...]

The A-Team (2010) Review

Right off the bat, the A-Team is over the top, absurd, cheesy and ridiculous. It is also one of the most accurate adaptations ever and the most fun I have had at the movies all summer. Frankly if you think the movie is too unrealistic and cheesy then you were obviously not a fan of [...]

John Goodman Could Play The Godfather

Was just looking through DListed and saw that John Goodman has lost like 150 lbs recently… and the first thing, for whatever reason, that dawned on me was: “Goodman could be The Godfather if they ever did a remake”.
See what you think, here he is now:

and here is Marlon Brando:

That shit is uncanny… I could [...]

Bullying the Karate Kid or Really? REALLY?

In the last few years Hollywood has really gotten into remakes. They are all over the place. Not a day goes by that you won’t read about some movie or franchise getting remade or rebooted. It isn’t really hard to see why this is attractive to studios. You don’t have to come up with new [...]

A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) Review

When I was a kid just seeing the posters and cover boxes for the first two Nightmare on Elm Street movies was enough to scare the absolute crap out of me. My cousin rented both of them one Easter weekend and my mom let me watch them in the very misguided hope that if I [...]

Dante's Inferno: Animated Movie Review

Summary [6.5 out of 10]
Dante’s Inferno: An Animated Epic is an excellent adaptation of the story behind the video game of the same name, but in the grand scheme of anime, feels like an average attempt. For a new IP from EA, putting all the money behind the game and the animated movie is impressive, [...]

The Day the Earth Stood Still Looks… Interesting

This is an extended 5-min trailer for the upcoming The Day the Earth Stood Still movie.

The thing that interests me the most about these world-catastrophy type movies is either what happens to us, or how we get out of it. Movies like Independence Day solve that problem by throwing layers of absolute retardation ontop of [...]

Summer of Tears Redoes: Teen Wolf

Going into this, I had no idea what it was, but god… I’d really suggest you give it a watch. It looks like Summer of Tears is a group of folks that re-edit and green-screen themselves (pretty damn well) back into some original scenes of classic movies, adding some awesome lines and cut-aways as if [...]

Harry Potter Delays His Climax

The box-office darlings have made a life-altering, earth-shattering, we’re-sorry-there-will-be-no-second-coming-of-the-messiah-after-all and by-the-way-there-is-no-Santa-Clause crushing announcement that has sent thousands running to petitionspot.com to cry to the producers about how it’s not fair, and how they’re just in it for the money (what is this, Hollywood or something?), and various other “Please Harry put on your clothes and [...]

Punisher: War Zone – Sometimes A Shotgun in the Face is Hilarious

What was wrong with the first Punisher? Tom Jane is a badass, there were guns and bad guys and a montage scene in which he built an entire car… what was missing?
Gore!
You don’t make a movie like Punisher, from a comic founded in mostly punishing people and skip the gore. There was the typical cheese-action-violence, [...]

Max Payne Trailer – Not Too Shabby

In lighter news, the trailer for the Max Payne movie with Mark Wahlberg has come out… doesn’t look too bad, looks about a 6 out of 10 just because of the implied cheese factor; little things you notice, like how his gritty, world-trodden trench coat is brand new and pristine or the snow-covered Glock… cause [...]

Clash of the Titan Remake Gets a Director from The Hulk

Badass! The remake of Clash of the Titans, an awesome movie from the 80s covering Greek lore, has gotten the director of the newly successful The Incredible Hulk remake, Louis Leterrier.
It also looks like the movie is going to be getting the fast-track treatment to get this puppy done and out by Summer 2010. Hope [...]

Tokyo Gore Police Trailer… or something

Saw this over on I Watch Stuff, it’s the “trailer” for Tokyo Gore Police, which is a ridiculously over the top 80/90s-style cheesy Japanese gore-fest… sort of like Riki-Oh, if you ever saw that or to a lesser extend the original Toxic Avenger from Troma.
So if you like movies like that cause you are curious [...]
