The Movie Blog

When there is a hit film… there’s a sequel. I remember all the buzz about 28 days later when it first came out. A lot of people thought it was an instant classic. I was more reserved in my praise for the flick. Don’t get me wrong, I did enjoy it… [...]

I feel like one of the “Have nots”. I must confess that I haven’t been to an IMAX screening (Aside for a couple of documentaries that were specifically made for the format). But everyone I ever talk to who has, always raves about the experience. Well that experience is about to get [...]

Oh wow. My Audio Edition co-host Doug Nagy is a big Paul Reubens fan (AKA Pee Wee Herman). Not so much the actor… but more as Pee-Wee Herman. Me personally, I think the guy is pretty funny, but I don’t hold the same emotional connection that some other people do (although I [...]

The early reviews for Little Miss Sunshine are coming in… and WOW THEY LOOK GOOD! I’ve been really intruiged in this flick since I first saw the trailer. It has one of the most interetsting castrs I’ve seen in a film in a long time too. I’m in line for this one.
Here [...]

The Miami Vice Reviews are coming in… and they’re right about where I would figure. My take… Miami Vice is a solid film… but nothing exceptional. Totally captures the feel of the original show, well cast, decent plot, but just missing something that prevents it from being a major players.
Here is what some [...]

The Descent reviews are now coming in… and to be honest they are simply not high enough. As I mentioned yesterday on The Audio Edition in my Descent review, the film is my movie of the year so far and easily the scriest film I”ve watched in at least the last 5 years. [...]

It looks like the MPAA has picked the wrong guy to sue… and it could REALLY hurt them in the long run. Here’s the skinny from the good folks over at FilmFodder:
Shawn Hogan is taking the download battle to the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA). Wired says Hogan, CEO of Digital Point Solutions, [...]

Edward James Olmos, the man who is now known as Admiral Adama in the greatest television show in history, the new Battlestar Galactica, actually got his name established for his supporting role in the Miami Vice TV show as the rugged and battle scared Lt. Martin Castillo. Man he was amazing in that show.
Well [...]

The movie based on the Sacha Baron Cohen character “Borat” is one I’ve been fascinated about ever since I heard they were going to produce it. The trailer is on of the funnier ones I’ve seen in a long time too. “She is my sister”. Oh man… too funny.
Now it looks like [...]

I like Eva Longoria. Besides the fact that she’s stunningly beautiful, she also has some decent talent (too bad The Sentinel so badly misused her). It looks like she may have signed up for the wrong project yet again, How I Met My Boyfriend’s Dead Fiance.
The good folks over at Digital Spy give [...]

Sigh… I had about 12 emails waiting for me all asking me why I hadn’t posted about the new Tom Cruise as Iron Man rumours. Well… the answer is simple… because it’s not true… and everyone knows it’s not true.
Director Jon Favreau has already come out and announced that Tom Cruise IS NOT going [...]

Hellboy was a fantastic little comic flick. I loved the characters in it… not the least of which was the character of Abe Sapien. Well… the man in the suit, Doug Jones, was at Comic-Con and did some Hellboy 2 chatting. The good folks over at Cinescape give us this:
“The role [...]

Below are the original Saw 3 Poster and the new one. Personally I like the old one more.
Original Poster:

New Poster (via the good folks at Filmrot):

Which one do you prefer?

Remember last year when all that drama was going on around the new Fletch project? Kevin Smith was set to write and direct it. The word was that he wanted “My Name Is Earl” star Jason Lee, while some studio suites wanted Zach Braff. Well that fight is over.
It’s now been reported [...]

Oh my goodness… this is so wrong… so very very wrong… and yet I can’t help but laugh at it.

Something has struck me as a little odd over the last couple of days. And that’s the total inconsistency that film fans often exhibit (myself included). Sometime filmmakers are in a no win situation with us. Damned if they do… damned if they don’t.
Take Superman Returns for example. I totally understand some people not liking [...]

Everyone seems to be buzzing about the new Darren Aronofsky film The Fountain. Why not Buzz? Requiem For a Dream was bloody brilliant, and PI was solid too. So here comes The Fountain trailer.
Look, I’ve never been afraid to say things that will be unpopular. Even when I know I’ll take [...]

Jeff Daniels is one of those guys you see in a TON of movies… and yet never seems to get top billing or the props he so richly deserves.
One of the best example is the amazing job he did in Dumb and Dumber with Jim Carrey.
