Death Bell (2008) Movie Review


Although summer has long been the traditional time for horror films in Korea, the 2008 season only saw one major release in the form of debut director Chang’s “Death Bell”. As such, the fact that the film proved to be a massive success, attracting over a million viewers and ranking as one of the country’s [...]

Ip Man (2008) Movie Review


Who is Ip Man? For you contemporary types, he’s most famous for teaching some scrawny Chinese kid name Bruce Lee the secrets of whupping ass. But that’s the old guy. According to Wilson Yip’s movie, the younger Ip Man made his bones during the days of Japanese-occupied China, where he suffered at the hands of [...]

Pulse 3: Invasion (2008) Movie Review


In the third, and supposedly final, installment in the Pulse trilogy of movies the world has shunned technology and learned to live in a world without any communications devices. A world, ironically, that would not have been able to view this straight-to-DVD release. Truthfully, they would have been better off.
Starring newcomer Brittany [...]

Che (aka The Argentine / Guerrilla, 2008) Movie Review


Adapted from the famous T-shirt, “Che” is director Steven Soderbergh’s massively long, two part movie about professional revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara. A much more covert revolutionary himself, Soderbergh has shrewdly designed his career around the Scorsese Model of “one for them, one for me”. So an “Oceans” caper with George Clooney will be alternated with [...]

Resident Evil: Degeneration (2008) Movie Review


You can’t keep a good zombie down. Well actually you can, with a perfectly placed shot to the forehead, but that’s easier said than done. Just ask the residents of Raccoon City, the fictional town that was laid to waste when the Umbrella Corporation’s experiments went bad and produced flesh-eating zombies. That was the plot [...]

Tim Robbins, Hawkeye, and Black Widow in Iron Man 2


See, here’s the difference between a magazine throwing out superhero movie rumors *cough*British rags*cough* and a site like LatinoReview. You can actually trust the latter, but not so much the former. Having said that, here’s the latest rumor/news from LR, which has Tim Robbins hopping onboard “Iron Man 2″ to play Howard Stark, father to [...]

Frank Miller Updates 300 Sequel, Sin City 2, Hard-Boiled, Martha Washington


While doing the promotional rounds for his make-or-break directorial gig “The Spirit”, Frank Miller was asked about two of his upcoming projects — the sequel to “Sin City” and “300″, and an adaptation of his “Hard Boiled” and “Martha Washington” comic books. Of the four, the only property Miller has done that I haven’t been [...]

Twilight Sequel News: Jacob Black Gets Replaced, Ben Barnes as Aro, Kristen Stewart


Yup. That’s not your dog on fire, that’s the “Twilight” sequel heating up like something that heats up awful fast and hot. With news that Summit has hired a new director for “Twilight’s” sequel, “New Moon”, and a 2009 release date penned in, there are more “New Moon” rumblings in the world of teen vampire [...]

Blade Director Takes on Crow Remake!


Oh man, I don’t know how I feel about this. On the one hand, I’d love to see The Crow back on the big screen where it belongs instead of being relegated to direct-to-DVD hell just rehashing the same exact storyline as the original, but on the other hand — how could you possibly top [...]

New Images from Sherlock Holmes, Friday the 13th Remake, Final Destination 4, Whiteout, The Informant


What does Matt Damon conspiring on a toilet, a machete-wielding maniac, a gun-toting Kate Beckinsale, and some dead kids have in common? They’re all new images from Warner Bros.’ upcoming slate of 2009 movies. Towards the end of every year, the major studios send out a big ol list of movies we can expect for [...]

Five Minutes of Liam Neeson Kicking, Punching and Shooting People in Taken

We reviewed Liam Neeson’s “Taken” last year (read that brilliant review here and behold its brilliance), but the film’s only now getting a Stateside release, and is scheduled to hit malls and multiplexes January 30, 2009. The French-made and set film is directed by Pierre Morel (”Banlieu 13″), and comes from Luc Besson’s Action Movie [...]

Even More Dragonball Evolution Pics to Get Mad At

Hey look, Dragonball fans, it’s Goku, and he’s fighting with two guys! But don’t feel too sorry for these guys; they were probably trying to steal his cool four-wheel futuristic ATV vehicle or something equally bad guy-ish. Either that, or they were giving him “the eye”, and no one likes that, especially if your name [...]

Horton Director Hears a Jonah Hex

So I guess this means the live-action “Jonah Hex” movie isn’t going the down and dirty route? If it does, then it’s going to be a heck of a directorial job by Jimmy Hayward, who has just been announced by the Brothers Warner as the new helmer of “Hex”. Hayward’s previous credit includes co-directing the [...]

Teaser for George Romero’s Island of the Dead

According to IMBD.com and elsewhere, George Romero’s latest flesh-eating opus is now going under the official title of … (wait for it, wait for it) “…of the Dead”. No, I kid you not. Apparently they have dispensed with the “Island of the Dead” title that was going around for a bit there. I still like [...]

First Images from The Descent 2

Don’t go back in the cave! What are you thinking? They’re waiting for you in the cave! Don’t go back down there! Oh well, she went back down there, and those crawlers are once again attacking and trying to eat her pretty little brainless head. That seems to be the “barely trying” premise for “The [...]

Four More for Law Abiding Citizen

Gerard Butler and Jamie Foxx’s legal action thriller “Law Abiding Citizen” has added for more names to the usual suspects — Michael Gambon, Leslie Bibb, Colm Meaney and Theresa Randle. Western fans will recognize Gambon as the greedy rancher who shot it out with Kevin Costner and Boss Spearman in “Open Range”, while Leslie Bibb [...]

New Angels and Demons Images

Yes, yes, I know that the “Da Vinci Code” movie made a gazillion dollars or thereabouts, and I know that a gazillion people have read Dan Brown’s novels, from which that movie and its sequel/prequel, “Angels and Demons” are based, but I gotta tell you, there’s still not a whole lot here that I’m getting [...]

High Kick Girl Kicks Really, Really High

So, okay, so she’s a high school girl (I’m guessing by the plaid skirt and school girl uniform) and she’s, like, kinda into karate and stuff, and get this, she can kick really, really high, and really, really fast. Or at least that’s what I gather from this short teaser video showing a scene from [...]

Whitaker Confirmed, Bullock Not so Much for Expendables

I don’t care what this article from The Hollywood Reporter says, I still think it’s very doable that Sandra Bullock will show up in “The Expendables” as a CIA hottie whose job is to chase Sylvester Stallone and his group of badass mercs around the world, before finally seeing the light and then letting them [...]

Wolverine Movie Rumors and Pics of the Day

Here’s another noteworthy image from Entertainment Weekly’s 2009 upcoming movie showcase, if by “showcase” you mean some pictures from a couple of interesting movies and a lot of really turdy ones I wouldn’t see if you paid me a million bucks per movie. Okay, maybe if you pay me that much, but that’ll be the [...]

Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li Poster is Not so Much

At this point, continuing to bash the upcoming Kristin Kreuk actioner “Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li” is like bashing a Uwe Boll film — what’s the point? I’ve already said that this thing looks like a major stinker, and will probably land on DVD instead of theaters. Heck, even the boneheads at Fox [...]
