Tommy Wirkola’s Hansel and Gretel Gets a Writer
As a fan of director Tommy Wirkola’s Nazi zombie opus “Dead Snow,” I’m super jazzed about the filmmaker’s upcoming Stateside project “Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,” a film that’s being produced for Will Ferrell’s Gary Sanchez Productions. According...

Tina Fey and Steve Carell’s Date Night Trailer is Shockingly Watchable
I’ll be honest with ya, I didn’t think I would ever even consider watching something called “Date Night” starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell. Nothing against either actor, I think they’re both pretty good stuff, but come on, “Date Night”? Eh. But I gotta admit,...

Mad Men Writer Stakes a Claim to Fright Night Remake
Now before you get your panties into a bunch and start decrying a writer from a show about chain smoking ad execs in the ’60s writing a horror-comedy vampire reboot, consider this: before she landed on the award-winning “Mad Men” on AMC as writer/producer, Marti Noxon was a writer on...

Modern Warfare 2 Caps the Competition’s Ass with $310 Million in one Day
You probably don’t need me to tell you that Infinity Ward’s “Modern Warfare 2″ sold like hotcakes on Tuesday and Wednesday. If you had tried to log into the multiplayer servers on Wednesday via the Playstation Network, you wouldn’t have been able to. (People with the shitty...

Moneyball Hones in on Director
Moneyball is a transformative sports book about the employment of advanced stats and analytics in order to put together a baseball team in the face of sobering economic realities and pressures.

Because You Need It: The New Puppet Master Teaser Has Arrived!
Back in the day, I was a Full Moon Entertainment fanatic. The creepy, strange-smelling video store near my childhood home always carried the latest FM flicks, and I was always one of the first to check them out. It’s probably the reason why I’m still addicted to Charles Band movies, despite...

Director Chris Bowman Offers Up a Slice of Humble Pie
Comedies with heart are a weakness of mine. For instance, “World’s Greatest Dad,” while extremely crude and unusual, is impossibly sweet and heartfelt, as is Hal Haberman and Jeremy Passmore’s grossly underrated 2006 superhero flick “Special.” This may explain why...

Plot Details for the Howling Remake Reveals Werewolves in High School
Apparently the Powers That Be (aka the guys who own the rights to the franchise) have decided to reboot “The Howling”, a series of werewolf movies from the ’80s that, like all ’80s horror movie franchises, spawned a series of wholly unnecessary (and, presumably, increasingly shitty)...

Dane Cook as the Riddler in Batman 3? Only in my Dreams.
Or is that nightmare? I can’t remember which. In any case, MTV, as they are wont to do, recently asked comedian/actor Dane Cook what comic book character he’d most like to play, and Cook mentioned The Riddler for the Nolan “Batman” films. Or as Cook puts it, “that would...

Scott Wiper’s Cold Light of Day Appears at Summit
While reading this Variety article about a thriller called “The Cold Light of Day” landing at Summit Entertainment, the name Scott Wiper rung a bell in my head. He’s not really a known name in Mainstream America, but I remember him from 2000’s “A Better Way to Die”,...

Nicholas Cage: Gangster, Pimp, or Sorcerer?
I’ll get to Nicholas Cage in a moment, but my first thought was about Alfred Molina. I admit that there are far too many of Molina’s movies for me to have seen, but every time I watch one of his films, it always seems as if he plays some kind of bad guy or adversary (Chocolat, Spider-Man...

The Official Kick-Ass Teaser Trailer is Mildly Kick-Ass
The “Kick-Ass” official site says this teaser trailer isn’t set to debut until 3 days from now on Myspace, but this vid that’s already up at Myspace’s Trailer Park says differently. It’s a short teaser, and pretty much what you already saw in the Comic Con bootleg...

Extended TV Trailer for Up in the Air
Back during the Toronto International Film Festival, Roger Ebert called Jason Reitman the hope of cinema. I imagine much of what he meant is that Reitman is one of those filmmakers who represents the convergence of popular entertainment with artistic, emotional, smart, character-driven movie-going. The...
