Star Wars: Clone Wars in Theaters

Wow, this is very cool news for you “Star Wars” geeks and Yoda lovers alike.  Star Wars is coming to the big screen, again, this time in animation form.  On Monday, Lucasfilm, Warner Bros. and Turner Broadcasting System announced that the animated movie “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” would hit movie theaters Aug. 15.  The […]

Sam Raimi, getting dragged to Hell.

Sam Raimi is getting into the directors chair again, and there’s no men in tights climbing walls in his next feature.  It’s been so long since we’ve seen him direct something other than a “Spider Man” movie I can’t keep my excitement to myself.

Aronofsky’s the Wrestler

Darren Aronofsky (Pi, The Fountain) is one of my all time favorite directors alive.  I know a lot of people did not care for The Fountain, that’s your (bad) choice.  I think Fountain is one of the better films around.  I’ll stop there, I don’ t want to bore you with my Aronofnsky man love. 
Now Darren’s […]

Indiana Jones trailer

Finally we will get to see a trailer for “Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull,” (wow mouth full).  The teaser trailer is going to be attached to “The Spiderwick Chronicles,”  which I have to say I am excited to see.
I really thought we would see a teaser for Indy during the Super […]

Lionsgate is Dangerous

The great folks over at Variety told me that Lionsgate has nabbed the U.S. rights to Danny and Oxide Pang’s “Bangkok Dangerous,” from IEG Virtual Studios.  The Pang brothers recently helmed the Jessica Alba (I have new eyes so creepy things happen to me)film “The Eye.”  Which looks obvious and silly.  Eyes don’t retain information, […]

Casey hates the Kind One.

It seems there’s a new little Vs. big brother rivalry brewing.  We’re all used to Peyton Vs. Eli, now we have Casey Vs. Ben Affleck.  Nifty, don’t ya think.
No one can say that the little bro’s haven’t been kicking some butt as of late.  We all know what Eli did, (best super bowl in memory) .  And […]

Prepare to be Taken.

I’m just about to hit the road to get my girl, but I just stumbled across this trailer for “Taken.”  This is a Luc Besson produced movie starring Liam Neeson.  Taken is directed by the dude who did “District 13″ so I can assure you this film will not stop.  How am I just hearing […]

Movie News: Wolfman Saved by Jurassic Director.

Universal has found their director for “Wolfman.”  Many rumor based sites were claiming that is was going to be Brett Ratner, he was in the running (it seems he’s always in the running) but he was NOT chosen.  THANK YOU GOD. 
The new director of Universals “Wolfman” is Joe Johnston, (Hidalgo, J.P.III, Jumanji).  I really don’t […]

Movie News: Writers near a deal.

No contract yet, but the writers and the studio big-wigs are getting close.  Saturday evening broad strokes were made toward an agreement, following two weeks of what I’m sure where arduous negotiations with Disney’s president Roger Iger, News Corp.’s COO Peter Chernin and the other top media execs.  On Sunday, WGAG president Patric Verrone and WGAE […]
