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, …
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.

When I was a kid, I loved the original “Clash of the Titans” with Harry Hamlin and Burges Meredith. I watched it …
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!
DreamWorks “Monsters vs. Aliens” was the weekend’s box office champion after raking in $58 million in ticket sales. The CGI animated sci-fi comedy was trailed by “The Haunting in Conneticut” ($23,010,000), “Knowing” ($14,705,000), “I Love You, Man” ($12,600,000) and “Duplicity” ($7,556,000). I also expect “Monsters vs. Aliens” to be the winner next weekend, as the only new entries to the box office are the not-screened-for-critics (meaning a 99.9 percent chance of sucking) “Fast & Furious” and the very adult …
