There has been a little bit of a controversy amongst some of my friends in regards to ‘District 9’ and its nomination for Best Picture. Although I’ll admit, the genre and class of film it was is not something that you ordinarily see up for such an award like Best Picture, but here I’ll try …
‘Crazy Heart’ is one of those movies that sorta came out of nowhere. I feel like I hadn’t heard very much about it until nearing the Golden Globes (bad movie blogger!). When Bridges took the Best Actor Golden Globe, and the song ‘Weary Kind’ taking Best Song, I knew I’d better get myself to a …
Scorsese has announced his next film, an adaptation of ‘The Invention of Hugo Cabret,’ to begin lensing in June. The book tells the story of a child orphan, who was working to fix a Mechanical Man. After his death, Hugo, attempts to complete is fathers work in a 1930s Parisian train station. Written by Brian …
Forgive the irony in his name, I’m sure came up constantly in his contract negotiations. Marc Webb will helm the next Spider-Man film, following Sony’s inability to reach a creative agreement with Sam Raimi. The next installment is now on track for release in 2012, and will focus on Peter Parker in his younger years. …

The Internet is abuzz with rumors, speculation, and some reports about Raimi being let go by Sony, and the film being handed off to a helmer to be named. Last week Raimi announced that he’d be unable to complete the next Spider-Man by the studios target date, and also meet his own goals creatively on …
Robert Downey Jr. has to be among one of the most entertaining actors out there right now. His story is excellent, he came onto the scene strong, faded into the background, fought a battle with addiction, and now he’s back, and we are all better for it. ‘Sherlock Holmes’ is the latest from Guy Ritchie, …
So another year, another list. I had to think long and hard about my favorite movies of 2009, since I do feel like it was such a great year so full of great films. Though, I will admit, I missed on quite a few which I can’t include on my list.Some of the films I …
Apparently once again, Harold Ramis is talking Ghostbusters 3. Personally, I grew up watching the Ghostbusters much like I grew up watching Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and Back to the Future. A third Ghostbusters is something I needed 14 years ago, not right now. Heeb magazine spoke to Ramis recently about his films: “Something’s going …
