TJ Miller Cast as Ranger Smith Thanks to Bizarre Audition

Yogi Bear has to be Stephen Colbert’s least favorite cartoon of all time. He loathes bears, so he might just call TJ Miller an international hero for actually auditioning with a real one. It might sound dangerous reading with a bear, but it’s no worse than spending three minutes reading opposite...

More Kull? Minus Kevin Sorbo? Say It Ain’t So!

At about the same time he became known for the muscle-bound Hercules, Kevin Sorbo was the muscle-bound Kull in 1997’s “Kull The Conqueror”. Okay, so you probably don’t remember Sorbo as “Kull” unless you’re a really, really big fan, which may be why Paradox Entertainment...

Full Season of the Witch Trailer Looks Unsurprisingly Mediocre

Frankly, I didn’t expect a whole lot from Dominic Sena’s “Season of the Witch”, especially after the teaser trailer surfaced last month. And oh yeah, the movie stars Nicolas Cage, and when that’s the case, there’s an 80-20 percent chance he’s going to sleep walk...

Rejoice! Universal Soldier: Regeneration Trailer Has Finally Arrived!

I’ve been excited about this project for quite some time, despite the fact that the previous entries in the series — excluding the ass-kicking original, of course — are the cinematic equivalent of sticking your both feet forcibly inserted into an industrial strength garbage disposal....

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune Movie Gets a Pair of Writers

It continues to perplex me why, exactly, studios insist on producing big-budget motion pictures based on video games. The track record for such an expensive endeavor is spotty at best, especially in terms of box office success. With the exception of “Silent Hill” and the “Resident Evil”...

Box Office: New Moon is Big, but the Dark Knight is Still Bigger

Give them all the credit in the world: the legion of Twilighters that blanketed mall theaters across the country did their best, but when the dust cleared, the power of squealing teenage girls couldn’t quite trump the commitment of America’s fanboys. While Summit’s “The Twilight...

Twilight New Moon Shatters Single-Day Record with $72.7 Million

I’d like to say I’m surprised by this, but honestly, I’m not. Not after my niece told me she had bought two tickets to see “Twilight: New Moon” on Friday in back-to-back screenings. Let me say that again: she pre-ordered tickets to see the same movie, on the same night,...

Coraline (2009) Movie Review

(Guest Movie Review by Dedpool) I was looking forward to this as soon as it hit theatres. Unfortunately my busy schedule prevented me from getting to see it and oh how I regret it. Coraline, directed by Henry Selick (of Nightmare Before Christmas, and James and the Giant Peach fame)is an amazing journey...

The Making of The Wolfman

A few days ago Variety reported (you kind of have to mine for it in the article) that veteran editors Mark Goldblatt and Walter Murch were being brought in to recut The Wolfman, even though the release date is only a few months away, on February 12, 2010. This could be a very bad thing for the film,...
