I’ve seen January Jones around, and she’s always struck me as having the perfect Hollywood leading lady looks, which led me to wonder why she hasn’t been more famous. Her regular stint on AMC’s highly regarded “Mad Men” seems to have finally borne fruit, because just...

Vampires Sure are Boring Looking in These New Daybreakers Images

Lionsgate has sent over two new images from the brothers Spierig’s new vampire/sci-fi movie, “Daybreakers”. I must admit, I was enthusiastic about the project when I heard about it, but I haven’t seen a whole lot about the movie, from the trailer to the images, that makes me think...

Paranormal Activity Not so Original After All? Check out In Memorium.

Apparently shooting scenes around the house with a home videocamera and calling it a horror movie in the guise of a faux documentary is not so original after all, though Paramount Pictures and director Oren Peli probably would like you to keep thinking it is.

The Weinsteins Think You’re Not Ready for Lesbian Vampire Killers

If you’ve been following how The Weinstein Company does business over the years, you might have come to the (not necessarily wrong) conclusion that these guys just don’t make good business decisions when it comes to movies not made by that Quentin Tarantino guy. For one, they tend to buy...

Footloose Remake Loses Director

I know, I know, it’s a remake of “Footloose”, why even bother following it? It’s definitely hurting my street cred, that’s for sure. But I can’t help it, the original movie with Kevin Bacon and John Lithgow (about a city kid who moves to a rural town where music is...

Well slap my bottom and call me Sally. When rumored news that George Miller was about ready to go into production on a “Mad Max 4″ surfaced over the weekend, I was a tad skeptical. Okay, I didn’t believe it at all, especially the premature casting tidbits about Worthington and Theron....

Box Office: Low-Budget Activity Favored Over Neverending Redundant Sequel

It used to be you could just toss a script together and call it “Saw”, release it on Halloween, and the kids would flock to see it. Well that’s still sort of true, though not nearly in the same league as previous incarnations of the “Saw” franchise. Especially when there...

Sam Worthington as Mad Max? Shooting in 2010?

Yes, and yes, according to the Aussie site The Daily Telegraph, which you would think would know about all things “Mad Max”, right? After all, it doesn’t get anymore Aussie than George Miller’s “Mad Max” movies. (Well, except for “Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome”....

Bad Lieutenant Clip: Nic Cage Show his Castle to Eva Mendes

Nic Cage acting all hopped up on drugs and stuttering his way through a story about pirate treasure and a missing spoon while showing off his shack/childhood castle? Nic Cage does that in his sleep, buddy, and he does it here, in this clip from Werner Herzog’s “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call...

From what I hear around the interwebs, this is the first official cast pic from Joe Carnahan’s “The A-Team”. They really went to great lengths to get Liam Neeson, chowing down on a cigar, to look like the TV version of Hannibal, and from everything I’ve seen, Faceman (Bradley...

Apple has a new clip from John Woo’s mega epic “Red Cliff”, which features, if I recall correctly, a one-hour siege at the end of the movie that features a series of elaborate, bloody battles as the good guys march to the bad guys’ final last stand. It’s an insane amount...

Stallone Hates His Kids, Wants to Make Rocky 7

Good god, another Rocky movie? Then again, didn’t we all thought that exact same thing when he made “Rocky Balboa” and later, “Rambo”? Fact is, no one has wanted Sylvester Stallone to return to his two aging characters, but he did it anyway, and the box office has proven...
