Interview With Precious Director Lee Daniels
I am not aware of very many great movies that treat physical/emotional abuse in impoverished inner city homes as anything more than a personal character conflict meant to be overcome, instead of truly exploring the feelings of being trapped and degraded within. I hope that the film Precious can accomplish...

Ninja (2009) Movie Review
(Review by Sherman Chin – POSSIBLE SPOILERS) I have to state that I’m a movie buff and an Asian martial artist so my review might be a bit critical as evidenced by the lively teenagers who were gleefully shaking the cinema (”Ninja” is shown in Malaysian theaters instead of direct-to-dvd...

Sasha Alexander Joins TNT’s Female Cop Show Rizzoli
Well this is nice. I’ve been wondering whatever happened to Sasha Alexander after she had a temporary case of brain farts and decided to leave the hit CBS show “NCIS” just as it was becoming a gargantuan hit. You know, “NCIS”? That “CSI” show set in the military?...

Mad Max Fury Road Casting: Charlize Theron and Tom Hardy are Official
Out with Mel Gibson, and in with … Tom Hardy? Who the hell is Tom Hardy? Well, sci-fi fans might remember Hardy as the Young Jean-Luc Picard in the “Star Trek” movie “Nemesis”, though he’s since gone on to do numerous other movies, including bulking up for “Bronson”...

By Odin’s Beard! Anthony Hopkins is Thor’s Daddy
Surprise? Don’t be. “Thor” is being directed by Kenneth Branagh, after all. Once Marvel Studios hired on the Shakespeare man, it was pretty much “anything goes” when it comes to the studio’s Asgard product. According to the trades, Hannibal Lecter himself has all but...

Five Clips from Richard Kelly’s The Box
Bloody-Disgusting’s got your look at five groovy clips from Richard Kelly’s “The Box”. The film doesn’t look like it has the makings of a blockbuster, given that it’s not a slam-bang actioner, or indeed a scarefest. It’s somewhere in the middle, like one of those...

Conan Remake Character Breakdowns Reveal Plot Details
Wanna play Conan in Marcus Nispel’s upcoming remake of “Conan the Barbarian”? Well, you should be at least in your 20s to early 30s, Caucasian, powerfully built, broad-shouldered, and with sun browned skin lined with scars. And oh yeah, piercing blue eyes, square-cut black mane, and...

DVD Artwork, Special Features For Shane Acker’s 9
Much to my worldly dismay, I was one of the many people who missed Shane Acker’s animated tale “9″ in theaters earlier this year. Although word of mouth on the post-apocalyptic tale has been more than a little wonky, I’m still quite anxious to see the film for myself. According...

Somewhere a Geek Weeps: Official Avatar Trailer
In spite of the exaggeration of the title, James Cameron certainly does wonder very well. There are few films which utilize both sci-fi and fantasy, while keeping both genres pure. Most stories would rather mix and match elements of each to create a fusion. But Avatar violently veers between the two...

Jessica Biel is Effin’ Engaged
The full title of the movie is “F**king Engaged”, but you can expect plenty of asterisks in the title cause, gosh, Americans aren’t ready to spell out “f**king”! (Hell, even I’m not doing it! God, we suck.) Anyways, former “Seventh Heaven” teenager Jessica...

Someone has Put Paranormal Activity’s Ending Online
So, um, yeah, I have no idea how this “Paranormal Activity” movie ending has been online for so long and the studio hasn’t yanked it yet, but here it is. (Of course, with all the supposedly (and obviously faked) “endings” running around the Internet at the moment, the poor...

If you’re one of those people hoping that J.J. Abrams would step up behind the camera for “Mission Impossible 4″ after helming the last entry in the franchise, you can stop holding your breath now, because it ain’t gonna happen. Abrams says as much to MTV, pretty much confirming...

Ridley Scott Talks Alien Prequel
I know that many people share the opinion that the Alien series got progressively weaker because, despite their visual acuity, there is only so much that can be done with the same concept. At some point I’m actively wondering how the actual biology of the films work. Why do the aliens kill? Doesn’t...

Peter Berg No Longer Attached To Dune Remake
The idea of a “Dune” remake bothers me, mostly because I’m a huge, salivating fan of David Lynch’s ambitious 1984 adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic novel. It’s certainly a flawed film, and I completely understand that it does not adequately capture the overall...

Four Minute Avatar Feature
James Cameron has a lot riding on Avatar, it appears. There is always the possibility that he’ll be immolated by ardent critics if it doesn’t work out. Opinions, like mileage, may vary, and so it’s important to see the progress that’s being charted.
In the feature below, via Coming...

24 Season 8 Trailer Shoots its Way Online
You know I love me my “24″, so of course I was excited when the first trailer for Fox’s “24″ Season 8 finally showed up online. And yes, I still can’t believe I just said this is the eighth season for the show. To say that it’s “aging” now would be...

New Trailer and TV Spots for Yuen Woo-Ping’s True Legend
