Hancock (2008) Movie Review

Studios like an actor who is a “sure thing,” and Will Smith is one of those. He’s an extremely bankable superstar who is seemingly loved by all age groups and ethnicities, because he’s likable. Look at his top four grossing films, ranked in order from highest to lowest, “Independence Day,” “I Am Legend,” “Men in [...]

Wanted (2008) Movie Review

“Night Watch” (2004) put Russian director Timur Bekmambetov on the map. Based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, it tells of the ancient battle between light (good) and dark (evil) and the man who will decide which side will triumph. Why did this Russian language film make such a splash? It’s a visual stunner with [...]

Luckily for us, USA Today has released three new official images from the upcoming Justin Lin movie. There’s also an accompanying article, but it doesn’t even bother to [...]

Character Posters for John Woo’s Red Cliff

John Woo’s “Red Cliff” (formerly “The Battle of Red Cliff”) is sure getting the worst of it. There are reports that the movie is over budget, running behind schedule, and actors have walked off the set, walked on, then walked off the set again. And more recently, bad news in the form of a dead [...]

Sam Riley is Robin Hood in Ridley Scott’s Nottingham? What About Christian Bale?

Yes, if “Nottingham” star Russell Crowe gets his way, and you gotta figure that Russell Crowe will get his way, he being Russell Crowe and we being not and all. According to Latino Review, the ol Crowe is itching to get “Control” star Sam Riley (pictured, left) to play Robin Hood in he and director [...]

New Mummy 3 Images and Trailer

I am an unabashed fan of the “Mummy” franchise. Yes, I even liked “The Scorpion King”. Sorta. Well, not really, it had potential but really didn’t do much with it. The two “Mummy” films were good, in a munching popcorn entertainment sort of way. The first one in particular seemed to be trying to (and [...]

Tony Jaa’s Ong Bak 2 Promo Reel Makes My Bones Hurt

Not content to just crack bones and snap necks with Muay Thai, Tony Jaa (aka Thailand’s best import since the country turned Bangkok into a cesspool of anything goes decadence and other good stuff) is back with “Ong Bak 2″, a movie that promises more bone-crunching action than his previous two films, “Ong Bak” and [...]

The Incredible Hulk (2008) Movie Review

Ang Lee’s version of the Hulk was not welcomed by diehard comic book geeks, barely-men who were too busy fawning over the latest Michael Turner sketch drawings of a half-naked Witchblade to watch Lee’s “The Ice Storm” or “Pushing Hands”, and thus had no idea what they were getting into when they stepped into those [...]

Punisher: War Zone Teaser Trailer is Bulletastic

I got me some high hopes for Lexi Alexander’s “Punisher: War Zone”, even if this first-ever teaser trailer for the flick doesn’t exactly do it for me. Okay, there are some nice shots in there, like the one where Frank (played this time around by Roman badass Ray Stevenson) is gearing up to face off [...]

Watch Out Nazis, it’s Wolverine World War II Set Pics

Man, that Wolverine guy ages really, really well for being part of the Greatest Generation. We’ve already seen Wolverine in Vietnam during the Vietnam War, and now here he is (in the guise of Hugh Jackman) on a beach in full World War II gear. He didn’t take part in the invasion of Normandy, did [...]

New Hulk Trailer Features Tony Stark Cameo!

It’s been rumored, and recently it’s been confirmed from online reviews of the movie, and now Marvel Studios has decided, “Eh, what the hell”, and added it into the latest trailer for their Hulk reboot. Or maybe this was the plan all along, especially considering the mega success of “Iron Man”. Yup, that’s right, kids, [...]
