The 2008 Spirit Awards are going green and they want you to know it. They hired Tim Allyn, a leading environmentalist, to make the event more eco-friendly. I assume this is eco-friendly after eveyone flies in, drives to the theater, eats food that was shipped in, dresses up in their fancy clothes (most of which …
Death seems to stalk and kill everything but this series. But for those who care, the cast of the fourth installment of ‘Final Destination’ has been revealed. Bobby Campo, Shantel VanSanten, Nick Zano, Krista Allen and Andy Fiscella are the trusted talents bringing this film to life. This time around a deadly event in the …
I always get excited when Universal revisits their classic Universal Monsters, but, the excitement is often followed in a bit of disappointment, specifically around Van Helsing. Talk about giving a writer/director the reigns and letting him do what he wants, they crammed so much in that movie, it ruined itself with its own potential. I’ll …
We’ve had a lot of talk about Wolverine this week, but the latest to join the already huge cast is Dominic Monaghan (TV’s Lost, and Lord of the Rings).

I know what you’re thinking: It’s the 80th anniversary! I know this, but follow me for a second. It was 35 years ago this year that Marlon Brando famously sent up Sacheen Littlefeather to refuse his Best Actor award for his work on ‘The Godfather’ and read a 15 page speech on the mistreatment of …
Pixar releases the plotline of Toy Story 3: Andy goes away to college and leaves all his toys in a day-care center. The report doesn’t mention anything about this, but I assume we will see some Andy frat party action and a lesson on binge drinking (Buzz Lightyear and Andy knocking back some Jack Daniel’s …
Preceding the release of Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight this summer will come a direct-to-DVD titled, Batman: Gotham Knight. Very much in the vein of The Animatrix, Gotham Knight is a series of six animated shorts that take place between the events of Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. Each animated short was written by …
This year, for me anway, is a pretty exciting year for the Oscars. The best director category usually has at least one of my favorite directors hanging around. Last year, we had Clint Eastwood and the long long overdue win for Mr. Scorsese. The year before held Steven Spielberg and the win for Ang Lee …
Akira is slated to be another in a string of Hollywood’s remakes of Japanese films. The spin? This anime classic is being remade as a live-action film set in a new Manhattan. Appian Way, Leonardo DiCaprio’s production company, will partner with Warner Bros. to bring this film to the big screen in the summer of …
…and in the future, will be starring in a film about the Donner Party (maybe?). The last film I can remember with him in a lead role is Willard, which I actually never saw. But apparently, Hollywood’s infamous eccentric will be showing up in The Forlorn, a film about the Donner Party. The film has …
