There is always the inevitable moment after a survival movie in which you wonder, even if it goes unsaid, whether you have the same will to survive as the character in the film. It’s difficult to know until you’ve actually been through it. Well, mountaineer Aron Ralston has. After his arm...

“Law Abiding Citizen” posits that age-old question: if the system failed you, and you had the wherewithal to make it happen, would you blow it all up and start over? Okay, so the question doesn’t quite go like that, but it’s close enough. In the case of Kurt Wimmer’s “Citizen”, the answer...

Just like comic book movies and Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight”, people trying to get their swords and sandals movies made are still comparing their films to Zack Snyder’s “300″. The latest “It’s just like ‘300′!” movie is yet another...

With their thriller set to hit theaters next week, Overture Films has released a new batch of clips from the F. Gary Gray-directed and Kurt Wimmer-scripted revenge thriller “Law Abiding Citizen”. The film stars Jamie Foxx as a slick D.A. and Gerard Butler as one pissed off citizen turned...

This is something that needs to happen with more regulatory: serious filmmakers choosing animation as a viable genre option instead of treating it like something of a lesser career choice. Wes Anderson, who has previously directed such films as The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou,...

It is rare for a sports star to be just a sports star anymore; they also have to be multi-faceted entertainers. Shaquille O’Neil starred in the flamboyant “Kazaam” in 1996, and Michael Strahan is starring in the upcoming Fox sitcom “Brothers”. Now Variety reports that LeBron...

Just got in the final one-sheet poster for Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx’s “Law Abiding Citizen”, a movie that all during production I wasn’t sure what the hell it was about, but after seeing the trailer, I’m dying to see this thing. Check out the final one-sheet poster below...

Continuing in the dodgy tradition of adapting feature films for the small screen, The Fox Network announced recently that they plan to develop director Michael Lehmann and scribe Daniel Waters’ impossibly dark high school comedy “Heathers” as a possible weekly series. The project is...

From the guy who has done so many Sci Fi Channel movies that the press release feels perfectly okay to boast that he’s a “Sci-Fi Channel movie veteran” (wait, that’s a compliment?), comes the third entry in the “Wrong Turn” franchise, “Wrong Turn 3: Left for...

Is it wrong to root for the bad guy? Gerard Butler’s character doesn’t start off as the bad guy, but boy, by the one minute mark in this trailer for the movie, he turns into Hannibal Lecter’s better looking cousin or something. Check out the first trailer for Butler and Jamie Foxx’s...

Now this looks nice. I’ve never even heard of the book until the trailer surfaced yesterday. It’s for Wes Anderson’s “The Fantastic Mr. Fox”, a stop-motion animated movie based on a novel by Roald Dahl, and it features a stellar A-list cast of George Clooney, Michael Gambon,...

Wow, they’re still doing the Emmys? Maybe it’s just me, but it’s been ages since I’ve paid attention to this thing. Then again, I don’t pay any attention to the Oscars, either. I just don’t care who wins. The movies I like never win, or are even nominated, so what’s...

Okay, so we usually don’t cover comedies over here, unless there’s a really good hook, or we think we can make fun of it in the article. Here’s one that just begs to be made fun of, and at the same time, I could actually see myself watching this thing and blaming it on the girlfriend....

MTV is throwing a big shindig over at MTVland today, and you can catch it live on MTV, of course. Along with giving irrelevant popcorn awards buckets to people who’ll probably just use them as paper weights, the channel will be debuting a slew of exclusive clips and trailers, including the first-ever...

Two new castmembers for Season 8 of FOX’s aging action-adventure show 24 have been announced. Jennifer Westfeldt and John Boyd join the cast as recurring characters. Jennifer Westfeldt (”Kissing Jessica Stein”, below) will play a character name Meredith Reed, an ambitious journalist...

Plot: Clyde Shelton (Gerard Butler) is an upstanding family man whose wife and daughter are brutally murdered during a home invasion. When the killers are caught, Nick Rice (Jamie Foxx), a hotshot young Philadelphia prosecutor, is assigned to the case. Over his objections, Nick is forced by his boss...

Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx’s legal action thriller “Law Abiding Citizen” has added for more names to the usual suspects — Michael Gambon, Leslie Bibb, Colm Meaney and Theresa Randle. Western fans will recognize Gambon as the greedy rancher who shot it out with Kevin Costner...

After director Frank Darabont (”The Mist”) suddenly realized that his new movie with Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx, the crime thriller “Law Abiding Citizen”, was not, in fact, based on a short story by Stephen King as he had been told by producers, he immediately panicked and jumped...

Ol Jack Brooks has got himself a bit of a problem. You see, when Jack gets mad, Jack gets violent. Which isn’t exactly a good thing for our hero, being that he’s in his mid-20s, stuck in a dead-end job as a plumber, and spends his nights being dragged to night school by his nagging girlfriend. Things...

The Emmys (or as it’s known to my senile grandmother, the 60th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards) have just released this year’s batch of nominations, and as expected, pretty much the entire point goes out the window when the words “Two and a Half Men” show up anywhere among the list...
