Hancock (2008) Movie Review


Studios like an actor who is a “sure thing,” and Will Smith is one of those. He’s an extremely bankable superstar who is seemingly loved by all age groups and ethnicities, because he’s likable. Look at his top four grossing films, ranked in order from highest to lowest, “Independence Day,” “I Am Legend,” “Men in [...]

The (One-Armed) Machine Girl (2008) Movie Review


Ami (Minase Yashiro) is your typical high school student. She hangs out with her friend, plays basketball, and watches over her younger brother, Yu (Ryosuke Kawamura), who, unbeknownst to her is being bullied by the son of a yakuza and his friends. The gang extorts money from Yu and his friend Takeshi, and when they [...]

Wanted (2008) Movie Review


“Night Watch” (2004) put Russian director Timur Bekmambetov on the map. Based on the novel by Sergei Lukyanenko, it tells of the ancient battle between light (good) and dark (evil) and the man who will decide which side will triumph. Why did this Russian language film make such a splash? It’s a visual stunner with [...]

First Official Images from The Fast and Furious 4


Wow, it seems like forever since we posted any new “Fast and Furious 4″ (or just “Fast and Furious”, as it’s now being called) news, hasn’t it? Luckily for us, USA Today has released three new official images from the upcoming Justin Lin movie. There’s also an accompanying article, but it doesn’t even bother to [...]

Character Posters for John Woo’s Red Cliff


John Woo’s “Red Cliff” (formerly “The Battle of Red Cliff”) is sure getting the worst of it. There are reports that the movie is over budget, running behind schedule, and actors have walked off the set, walked on, then walked off the set again. And more recently, bad news in the form of a dead [...]

Sam Riley is Robin Hood in Ridley Scott’s Nottingham? What About Christian Bale?


Yes, if “Nottingham” star Russell Crowe gets his way, and you gotta figure that Russell Crowe will get his way, he being Russell Crowe and we being not and all. According to Latino Review, the ol Crowe is itching to get “Control” star Sam Riley (pictured, left) to play Robin Hood in he and director [...]

New Mummy 3 Images and Trailer


I am an unabashed fan of the “Mummy” franchise. Yes, I even liked “The Scorpion King”. Sorta. Well, not really, it had potential but really didn’t do much with it. The two “Mummy” films were good, in a munching popcorn entertainment sort of way. The first one in particular seemed to be trying to (and [...]

Tony Jaa’s Ong Bak 2 Promo Reel Makes My Bones Hurt


Not content to just crack bones and snap necks with Muay Thai, Tony Jaa (aka Thailand’s best import since the country turned Bangkok into a cesspool of anything goes decadence and other good stuff) is back with “Ong Bak 2″, a movie that promises more bone-crunching action than his previous two films, “Ong Bak” and [...]

The Incredible Hulk (2008) Movie Review


Ang Lee’s version of the Hulk was not welcomed by diehard comic book geeks, barely-men who were too busy fawning over the latest Michael Turner sketch drawings of a half-naked Witchblade to watch Lee’s “The Ice Storm” or “Pushing Hands”, and thus had no idea what they were getting into when they stepped into those [...]

Punisher: War Zone Teaser Trailer is Bulletastic


I got me some high hopes for Lexi Alexander’s “Punisher: War Zone”, even if this first-ever teaser trailer for the flick doesn’t exactly do it for me. Okay, there are some nice shots in there, like the one where Frank (played this time around by Roman badass Ray Stevenson) is gearing up to face off [...]

Lady Whirlwind (1972) Movie Review

Martial arts fans have a reason to be excited this month with the re-release of “Lady Whirlwind”, a classic slice of old school action from 1972 featuring the incomparable Angela Mao. Thankfully the film has retained its original title, rather than its bizarre and misleading Western moniker “Deep Thrust: The Hand of Death”, with which [...]

My Blueberry Nights (2007) Movie Review

Have you ever been to a coffee shop or diner and noticed one of the desserts under glass that’s never been touched? The donuts that look like they’ve been there a few days? Or, maybe it’s a blueberry pie that stands alone, ignored by the very suitors it targets, the hungry human patron. It seems [...]

New Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Images

Wow, is it that time again? When the kids of the world (and those too old to be reading kiddie books among us, and you know who you are) wait with bated breath for the latest “Harry Potter” movie installment? Yup. November 21st brings back Harry Potter and the Hogwarts brood back to the big [...]

Official Elegy Movie Poster

“Elegy” is the story of an old guy who becomes the object of affection and lust for a really hot younger woman. Basically, it’s every movie starring Woody Allen, minus Woody Allen because — at this point can we just say it? — watching hot young things preferring the Woodman over just about anyone else [...]

Disaster Movie Official Poster is Fauxny

Apparently Pamela Anderson was busy, because the fine folks behind “Disaster Movie”, the latest spoof flick from the geniuses behind “Meet the Spartans”, “Date Movie”, and the never-say-die (even though we’d really want it to) “Scary Movie” franchise, has had to settle for faux reality TV “star” Kim Kardashian, otherwise known as the self-made “celebrity” [...]

Now Who Shall Deliver Red Sonja and Barbarella Remakes to the Masses?

The New York Post’s Page Six site is reporting that Robert Rodriguez and fiancee Rose McGowan have split up, barely two years after entering a torrid affair while the two were making “Grindhouse” in 2006. Of course, we are talking about Page Six here, not Variety or The Hollywood Reporter, so take it as gossip [...]

Blunt, Hopkins, and Del Toro in Wolfman; Damon in Green Zone

The guys over at Empire Online has your first look at Emily Blunt and Anthony Hopkins from “The Wolfman”, including a look at star Benicio Del Toro minus hairiness. I know it’s hard to tell the difference between a wolfen Del Toro and a normal looking Del Toro, but take our word for it, this [...]

Val Kilmer and Xzibit Also Hot for Bad Lieutenant

Nu Image and Millennium Films’ much-decried upcoming remake of “Bad Lieutenant” continues to mosy on along with the casting process. With Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendes already on board, new names include Val Kilmer and rapper turned actor Xzibit (pictured left, who will be seen in the upcoming “X-Files” sequel, playing, if you can believe [...]

This Bangkok Dangerous Clip is Not Directed by John Woo

Yup, there’s no doubt about it — if the Pang Brothers ever knew how to direct a cool action scene, they must have forgotten during the filming of Nicolas Cage’s “Bangkok Dangerous”, because there doesn’t seem to be anything remotely cool about this latest clip from the remake, which has Nicolas Cage’s hitman character shooting [...]

Hellboy II Makes the Wacky Cross-Over Marketing Rounds

July 11 is fast approaching, which means the second unleashing of Hellboy and crew onto a suspecting populace (there may be one or two who don’t know he’s coming). To get ready for that monumental date (well, if you’re dying to see the movie, it’s pretty monumental, otherwise it’s just that date that means it’s [...]

New Dark Knight Poster is Jokerific

That wacky Joker. If Warner Bros. and Christopher Nolan aren’t careful, the Joker may end up being the star of “The Dark Knight”, which would be a problem if the Joker ended up dead at the end of the movie. Of course, that’s how we’d prefer the film end, instead of leaving the Joker alive [...]

Mirrors Red Band Trailer is Actually Decent

With Alexandre Aja behind the camera, I knew the new Kiefer Sutherland horror flick “Mirrors” had to be better than what we previously saw in the very, very weak teaser trailer. The full trailer, and a red band one at that, definitely looks better, although I have to say, it re-uses too much of the [...]
