I don’t know much about this movie and just watched the trailer for the first time, but I have to admit, I’m juiced. “Moon” would appear to be another great sci-fi picture and heaven knows there aren’t many gems as of late. Something about being alone in space (or on the moon) with nothing but your thoughts and the constant silence and stillness is beyond unnerving. I’m not a huge Sam Rockwell fan (“Frost/Nixon”), but he fits this part. Average …

The digital shorts done by Saturday Night Live have been pure win, so this take on “The Fast and The Furious” from Andy Samberg and Seth Rogan is without a doubt 100 percent awesome. Go ahead and watch the clip below. While you do that, I’ll wipe the Diet Coke off my computer moniter from the laugh-induced soda eruption that just took place in my nostrils.
Remember back in February when Joaquin Phoenix was on The Late Show with David Letterman and appeared as if (a) aliens had abducted him and replaced him with the biggest doped out nerd from their planet or (b) was under the influence of some extremely heavy pain medication – most likely because his new beard was so heavy, or (c) suffered some mental trauma after staring at Reese Witherspoon’s chin while filming “Walk the Line.” Your guess is as good …
Lord Voldemort, aka Hollywood actor Ralph Fiennes, has been tapped to play Hades in Louis Leterrier’s (“The Incredible Hulk”) remake of “Clash of the Titans.” Chances are you don’t remember the first one, but I do and it was awesome. Not only because it told the story of Perseus, but because it was chock full of nudity. Yay for early 1980s PG movies! As a side note, it looks like Liam Neeson, most recently of the pissed-off-dad movie “Taken,” will …
Rumors of a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” film set to sail in 2010 with Johnny Depp will no longer carry the name Gore Verbinski as director. According to Variety, the filmmaker has told Disney and producer Jerry Bruckheimer he won’t be back as to helm the franchise and play with Davey Jones’ crazy tentacle beard. Instead, the director now shifts his attention to the big screen adaptation of the popular video game “Bioshock.” Having thought “Pirates of the Caribbean: …
I missed the screening of “Observe and Report” yesterday, so Plan B was mobilized today. And, as you can see by the photo to the left, Plan B includes a screening of Miley Cyrus in “The Hannah Montana Movie.” I don’t know about you, and maybe I’m a big douche because of this, but I’d rather punch myself in my own soft parts and/or watch those mop-headed twins Zack and Cody on the Disney channel before subjecting myself to a …
I read Michael Crichton’s “Jurassic Park” in 1992 and was absolutely mesmerized by the novel. I couldn’t get enough Crichton after finishing my first techno-thriller. Since then I’ve enjoyed almost every one of Crichton’s novels (“Next” and “Congo” are my least favorite) and was terribly sad to learn of his death from cancer last year. I’d love to keep reading his works. And I got a little giddy today when I saw this headline in Variety: Michael Crichton Legacy Lives …
I did a little rearranging of the old Netflix queue over the weekend. See, we have free HBO, Starzz and Encore for three months, so, while I’m not a huge TV guy, I’ve been surfing and catching movies on cable that presently reside in my NQ. Here is my current top 10.
