It’s funny to think that only 50 years ago the Hollywood studio system nearly collapsed under its own weight, mired in the wake of several expensive box office flops. It seemed at the time that pouring exorbitant resources into the production of blockbusters was an unreliable financial gamble, and what followed was a decade-long rise …
I think at this point it’s safe to say that I watch Rob Zombie’s movies because of The Devil’s Rejects. That film, for all of its terrible sleaziness, was really, really well made. You can argue the merits of its message, the idea of who the heroes are, but you can’t argue that Zombie had …
ABDUCTION Ooooohhhh scaaaarryy!! A PG13 Abduction movie starring the douche werewolf homo from Twlight!! Yayyyy!! What really shocks me about this one is the other talent involved. I expect more from you, Alfred Molina…maybe not MUCH more, but more. And I am totally ashamed of you Sigourney Weaver. Yeah, I know…you gotta eat, but you …
COLOMBIANA: This looks, from the brief previews I’ve seen, like Steven Soderbergh’s next movie Haywire. Maybe they’re different, but they seem to both be about a trained kick-ass girl out for revenge. This one looks a little more stylized and less thought driven as Soderbergh’s, but not having seen either, I can’t say for sure. The PG-13 always throws me …
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 …
I guess you can call it a teaser trailer, as its mostly a montage of Robin Hood to modern rock music. I can’t stand these period pieces that are presented with modern music. I mean, I can say with almost 100% certainty we’ll only see this in the trailer, but come on Hollywood, you want …

Chris Wedge of ‘Ice Age’ fame will be directing the CGI film. ‘Princess and the Frog’ writers Greg Erb and Jason Oremland will be writing the script for the film based on the Will Wright game. Wedge told Variety, “I’m always …
Martin Short confirmed his involvement in the upcoming Arrested Development movie while doing a promotional tour for a comedy tour in Australia. Fans of the show will remember Martin playing Uncle Jack, a fitness guru in the second season of the canceled Fox show. Martin Short is hilarious, this is just one other reason the …
Anime nerds unite! This could our next target for geek outrage. Apparently someone decided to green light a live-action version of the kick-ass anime series, ‘Cowboy Bebop’ without consulting me first. This one makes me nervous like the idea of a live-action version of ‘Thundercats’ makes me nervous (is that even happening any more?). Check …
This time George Bluth himself, Jeffrey Tambor, is talking about the possibility of an Arrested Development movie. While promoting the upcoming flick, ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’, Tambor told Entertainment Weekly, “After months of speculation, I think we have finally figured out for sure that we are indeed doing an Arrested Development movie.” Let the …
