Shoot Em Up Posters Come Down In UK

Categories: News Chat | By John |

Where is that line between social responsibility and censorship? Or… does such a line even exist? Is any form of social restraint just an expression of censorship, and if so, what do we deem the line between acceptable censorship and non-acceptable censorship?

Categories: News Chat | By John |

No matter what industry it’s in, labour conflict comes with a very high price tag. Not just for the companies, and not just for the workers striking, but also for the economic lungs and peripheral jobs of the communities they’re in. The entertainment industry is not immune from that… as a matter of [...]

This is a damn shame. One of the announced projects that I was REALLY looking forward to was “State of Play“. The film was a political thriller that was going to reunite Brad Pitt and Edward Norton (the two previously appeared together in “Fight Club”).

Solomon Kane Poster

Categories: News Chat | By John |

I’m really looking forward to Solomon Kane for 2 very important reasons. First of all I’m a fan of the whole sci-fi/fantasy genre, and secondly because I’m a James Purefoy fan (ROME, A Knight’s Tale). Not to mention the idea for Solomon Kane sounds kind of cool too:
“James Purefoy has been cast as [...]

Hitman Review

Categories: Reviews | By John |

There are a few unbreakable laws in life. Tomorrow you will be older, Star Wars geeks get laid less than the average man (I know this from harsh bitter experience) and Video Game movies suck. Hey, I don’t make the rules… I just observe them. However, the most recent batch of [...]

Christian Bale Is John Conner In New Terminator Movie

Categories: News Chat | By John |

Well holy crap. The other day we reported to you guys that McG was signed on to direct the next Terminator installment tentatively titled “Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins” (bad title).

Fox Apologizes For Removing Our Review

Categories: News Chat | By John |

As many of you know, the other day we found out that YouTube pulled down our review of “Reno 911: Miami” because Fox Studios sent them a copyright infringement notice.
