First Images from Timor Bekmambetov’s Wanted
I still contend that as good as Angelina Jolie will end up being in the movie version of Mark Millar’s “Wanted”, she will never be as “perfect” for the role as Halle Berry would have been. Because let’s face it, if Millar and artist J. G. Jones weren’t modeling the Fox character after Halle [...]

If you’ve seen George Lucas’ “Star Wars” movies, then you’ve probably seen about 50% of Akira Kurosawa’s “The Hidden Fortress”. Why? Because Lucas’ original steals whole scenes, not to mention the R2D2 and C3PO characters from Kurosawa’s 1958 film (read our review of it here), which follows two bumbling and opportunistic villagers as they stumble [...]

For a while there, it seemed like Mario Van Peebles was being groomed as the next big African-American action star, with leading man roles in shoot’em ups like “Posse”, “New Jack City”, “Solo”, and “Gunmen”, but for whatever reason, it never stuck.

Good God, they’re trying to make a live-action version of Katsuhiro Ôtomo’s 1988 landmark animated movie “Akira”. Why in the world would they try such a foolish thing? “Akira” was killer in its time and it still holds up now, and to adapt it into a live-action movie version is simply astounding and more than [...]

So there are two questions that begs to be answered here: 1) Why do fanboys hate Brett Ratner so much?; and 2) Who in the world would give Brett Ratner an “achievement in cinema” anything? The answer to #1 is, fanboys are just weird; and #2, the Savannah Film Festival, that’s who. But anyhoo. The [...]

Oh, Flash, will you EVER make it to the big screen? Well actually, Yes, he will, in the upcoming Justice League of America movie, that is. But apparently Warner Bros. likes the idea of spinning the Flash off into his own movie, as a sort of spin-off from the JLA movie — so the Flash, [...]

In super “Duh” news, the fourth installment of the “Saw” franchise gutted the competition at the box office over the weekend and left their intestines dangling from the screen. Of course the film didn’t have any real competition this weekend, with only the Steve Carrel dramedy “Dan in Real Life” opening opposite it. “Dan” laid [...]
