This just in – Hugh Jackman, aka Wolverine in May’s “X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” wants to hold the movie premiere in your hometown. Why, you might ask? Because he wants to enslave your wife and/or girlfriend, who, no doubt, has been drooling over the hunky Aussie since “Australia” hit theaters last December. Here’s the details: To put in a bid for your town to host the “X-Men Origins” premiere – complete with red carpet, Kliegg lights and some of Wolverine’s “friends …

Another April Fools’ Day is upon us and Star Wars fans are celebrating by basting their fantasies all over the web in the spirt of pulling your Jedi leg. I’ve seen two fake news posts today about a “new” trilogy in the works over at Lucasfilm. One, from The Movie Blog, states George Lucas is moving onward with the “Legacy Trilogy,” based on some comic books and set 125 years after “Return of the Jedi.” Another post, found on Firefox …
Suprise, suprise, another studio is delving into the ever-popular vampire genre. I don’t know much about “Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter,” but it sounds like the title for a porno movie. And I might not be far off with that assumption. According to the description on Wikipedia, the books are an “erotic” series written by Laurell K. Hamilton and have evolved into a monthly comic book series, as well. This will be under the IFC banner, produced by After Dark Films …
According to MovieWeb, director Sam Rami is saying a “Spiderman 4” script will be ready by this summer. And that’s all he knows. He’s reluctant to discuss villains because, well, the screenplay isn’t even done (see: isn’t even started). I’m reluctant to give a rat’s derierre because emo-Peter Parker in the last movie was so friggin’ lame I literally had to punch myself in my own netherregions to keep from abusing small animals. Wha? Too harsh? I’m sorry Sam Rami, …
Every Tuesday I’ll have a trailer up on the blog – it could be something from the past, something currently in theaters or something coming soon, either way it’ll be a nice game of cinematic Russian roulette. Last night, as I sat on the couch with my aching tummy, I watched “Knocked Up” on HBO (even though I have it on DVD) and I realized, as I always do when I see something Judd Apatow has written and directed, that …
Gemma Arterton, seen most recently in “Quantum of Solace” as Strawberry Fields, is joining the cast of the “Clash of the Titans” remake as the demi-godess Io, set for release (according to IMDB.com) in 2010. Ms. Arterton is fantasticly beautiful and it was a shame she got douched by motor oil in Daniel Craig’s second outing as 007. When I was a kid, I loved the original “Clash of the Titans” with Harry Hamlin and Burges Meredith. I watched it …
I have recently – as in four months ago – discovered the joy of Netflix. It’s nice to make a big list of movies (I have 137 in my queue as of right now) and re-prioritize whenever the mood strikes. Since Tuesdays generally are DVD release days, I figure every Monday I’ll share the top ten movies in my queue. Feel free to mock, comment and share your Netflix queues. Doubt Donkey Punch Dark Matter Splinter The Spirit Paramore: The …
I have zero desire to see “Dragonball: Evolution,” so the news of an opening date change from who-knows-what to April 10th, 2009 is about exciting as fantasizing about Chow Yun-Fat’s dirty fingernails in “Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.” What would be exciting is if this movie actually had something to do with a dragon’s balls. Dare to dream!
