I always say that there are a few different classes of movies, ‘The Mechanic’ lies in the purely ridiculous popcorn popping action category. Starring Jason Statham as the same badass action guy he’s been playing for years, ‘The Mechanic,’ is another hitman movie. While I never saw ‘The Transporter,’ or any of those other films, …
In a bit of unfortunate news, director Gore Verbinski spoke to ComingSoon.net about why he’s no longer involved with the BioShock movie. BioShock is an incredible game which reveals an underwater city called Rapture. Populated by mutated beings, you learn about the terrible things that took place in the Ayn Rand inspired dystopian environment.
So, is anyone really surprised by whose gotten nominated for what this year? Minus Christopher Nolan being missing a Direction nod, there weren’t too many surprises. I was really happy to see John Hawkes nominated for Winters Bone (though the category belongs to Christian Bale, Hawkes’ role in this film was outstanding), but very upset …
This is a great PSA from our friend Rob Kutner about what you can to do help restore representation to the people, not the corporations. The video basically shows a bunch of testimonials of “regular people” incorporating themselves in order to get the same rights as some of the corporations in the United States. So …
The results are in! And The Social Network walks home with Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Soundtrack. Honestly, I’m not surprised, it certainly what I expected, though, not my own favorite of the year. (Still working on seeing everything so I can do my own top 10). Golden Globe Winners: Best Motion …
When ‘Tron’ came out from Walt Disney Productions in 1982, must have been quite a sight. Mixing computer generated effects with live action in the scale of the first ‘Tron’ was a major step forward in the types of effects that are quite common place these days. Does ‘Tron: Legacy’ live up to this standard? …
This morning the Independent Spirit Awards announced their nominees for the 2011 awards. Definitely a sign of what is to come this awards season! I’m glad to see Winter’s Bone picked up plenty of nods, and honestly, I’d love to see John Hawkes take home best supporting for it. What do you guys think of …
In an interview with Total Film, Christian Bale apparently has said that ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ will be the last time he dons the batsuit. “I believe, unless Chris [Nolan] says different, this will be the last time I’m playing Batman.” He also tells the site that he knows as little as possible about his …
‘A Christmas Carol’ is filmmaker Robert Zemeckis’ entry into a story that has been told countless times in a variety of different ways. Zemeckis tells his version via his favorite motion capture technique. I’m not the biggest advocate for motion-capture movies. Often times the characters look so close to the actors playing them that I …
Though my childhood consisted of treasure hunting, bull-whip toting aspirations, so did time travel via a Delorean, thanks to Back to the Future. Twenty-five years since the first Back to the Future, the series stands up as a timeless film, and the series has recently been remastered and released on Blu-ray (as well as re-released …
