Rachel McAdams Calls Bullshit on Black Cat in Spidey 4 Rumor

See, this is why we don’t “break” movie news on the site — it sucks when you’re wrong and your fellow movie bloggers come down on you like hungry little vultures looking for a piece of meat. That, and no one ever sends me anything worth breaking. Ahem. Anyways, remember...

Another Brutal but Awesome Trailer for HBO’s The Pacific

What else is there to say except World War II was Goddamn brutal, but it had to be fought. From Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg comes the “Band of Brothers” movie for the next decade, the epic mini-series “The Pacific”. As the title implies, this one doesn’t bother with the...

Kenneth Branagh’s Thor Lands its Warriors Three

I don’t read nearly enough “Thor” comic books to know who these Warriors Three guys are, or if they’re all that important to the large scope of a Thor movie, but the trades apparently think they’re big enough of a deal to report on their casting. And so, here is the casting...

Angelina Jolie’s Very Salty Poster

The boys over at Joblo have exclusive dibs on the debut poster for Angelina Jolie’s spy thriller “Salt”. As you can tell from the poster, the studio knows exactly what’s going to put the ass in the seats for this one, and it ain’t Liev Schreiber, as pleasant and great as...

Grown Ups Trailer, or, How Can a Movie with so Many Comedians Look so UnFunny?

You know how comedies always pretty much blow their wad by giving away all the film’s funniest bits in the trailers in hopes of luring you into paying your hard-earned money to see them in theaters? Well it looks like the makers of “Grown Ups” is going in the other direction. Instead...

Courteney Cox Knows Almost as Much about Scream 4 as We Do

Or perhaps even less? At least, that’s the impression she gives (possibly on purpose) to the AP, who has a short article on Cox and the upcoming “Scream 4″, and for some reason insists on announcing all the actor’s age. Does that, um, really matter? I guess it does to the AP....

Quinton Jackson Shows Off the Surly on A-Team Set

Some new set pics of former MMA fighter Quinton “Rampage” Jackson on the set of Joe Carnahan’s “A-Team” doing his best to channel Mr. T. He’s not quite there yet, but I suppose we should all give him the benefit of the doubt, at least until the movie comes out. It’s...

Kevin Williamson to Indulge in More Extramarital Sex and Serial Killing

Let’s face it, after Kevin Williamson willingly came back to do not one, not two, but three new “Scream” movies, it’s beyond reason to expect the guy to go back to original material. So when he announces to MTV that he plans to remake Curstin Hanson’s 1987 movie “The...

Butch Cassidy Rides Again — and Alone — in Blackthorn

If someone was ever going to make a sequel to “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” (even a “pseudo sequel”), you’d think Hollywood would be all over it. After all, since when has the town been against robbing the graves of a classic for cold hard cash? But before the suits...

Spider-Man Finally Exposed for the Criminal He Really Is

Oh, Spidey, where did it all go wrong? Was it when Sam Raimi decided to completely and unnecessarily screw around with your uncle’s murder in the last movie?

Cause you demanded it, Universal has greenlit a sequel to Paul W.S. Anderson’s “Death Race” remake. Made for $45 million, the middling film (like all of Anderson’s films, “Death Race” wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t great, either) grossed $75 million worldwide,...
