The Lizard to be Spidey 4’s One and Only Villain? Hopefully.
Looks like the Spidey 4 rumor train is moving at full speed now, what with the Raimster set to start directing this thing soon for a 2011 release. We already know that actor Dylan Baker has confirmed that his character, Spidey’s one-armed professor Curt Connors will return for Spidey 4, but we...

Bullet Squibs and Psychos Aplenty in Smokin Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball Trailer
After taking a look at the trailer for “Smokin’ Aces 2: Assassins’ Ball”, you can’t help but agree with Universal: yeah, this is definitely not theatrical worthy stuff here. If anything, it looks like your run-of-the-mill direct-to-DVD action movie, the kind that usually...

New Shutter Island Trailer Cranks up the Horror
Whoever cut this latest trailer for Martin Scorsese’s upcoming suspense/thriller “Shutter Island” must have been on orders to make it look as much like the “Saw” films as possible. That, or one of those “Ring” remakes. It is close to Halloween, after all. The...

Paranormal Activity (2007) Movie Review
The buzz surrounding writer/director Oren Peli’s popular 2007 “found footage” horror outing “Paranormal Activity,” has been, in a word, astronomical. In addition to the countless testimonials I’ve read on message boards and entertainment websites alike, scores of people...

Galifianakis and Adams Star in Town House
Zach Galifianakis and Amy Adams are quickly becoming two actors that I really enjoy, and so it’s nice to see that they’re both starring together in a film called Town House, which, according to Variety, is based on a novel by Tish Cohen about:
…an agoraphobic man, who lives with his...

Official Invictus Trailer
If I were to judge by the trailer, then surely Invictus looks “just” like another inspirational movie, in the same vein as any other Disney sports production – it paves forward the basic plot but doesn’t do anything real surprising or galvanizing. However, I do know better because...

A Slew Of Pics From Tim Sullivan’s 2001 Maniacs: Field Of Screams
Although I’m probably in the minority on this one, I’m of the belief that “Driftwood” director Tim Sullivan’s over-the-top 2005 horror/comedy “2001 Maniacs,” though stupid from its underbite to its ingrown toenails, is solid entertainment. Do keep in mind, however,...

The Rock’s Faster Gets Billy Bob, New Director
Well the new director stuff is actually pretty old stuff, but I didn’t bother to report on it when it first surface because of, honestly, general laziness. In any case, just to get you up to date, George Tillman has replaced Phil Joanou as the director of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s...

Emmanuelle Chriqui and Val Kilmer Head to Georgia for Renny Harlin
It may be hard to believe now, but once upon a time Renny Harlin was an in-demand action movie director, having directed hits like “Die Hard 2″, “Cliffhanger”, and “The Long Kiss Goodnight”. More recently, not so much. Harlin hasn’t exactly had the best of resumes...

Holy shit. Now this is awesome. Remember the first time you saw “300″ or “Cassern” or all those samurai movies by Akira Kurosawa? Well, it looks like Irish director Gary Shore saw them too and put them all into a blender, shook it up, and came out with “The Cup of Tears”....

January Jones is a Victim of Crime in Cage’s Hungry Rabbit Jumps
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...
