This plain, boring, zero-inspiration, third-grade Photoshop poster for the “Clash of the Titans” remake isn’t going to stop me from geeking out and circling March 26, 2010 on my calendar. No sir! In fact, I’m actually wondering if the remake can even come close to trumping the two hours of awesome that is the 1981 version. That movie satisfied all my third-grade appetites – nudity, crazy creatures, hairless dudes in skirts fighting with swords, winged horseys and enough herky jerky …

Remember that crazy bearded fellow named James Cameron who made everyone cringe when, after winning the best director Oscar for “Titanic,” exclaimed “I’m King of the World!” ? Talk about taking your time after an Oscar victory to choose your next project carefully, but the wait is finally over. August 21, 2009 is “Avatar” Day! Ava-wha? Yeah, I know. I feel the same way. Frankly, unless you have your finger on the movie pulse of the web, you probably don’t …
We were privy to some first-look photos last month and now the teaser trailer for Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” has hit the web. I don’t have much to say, except it looks a lot like, well, Tim Burton. That’s what I thought (and what Dan wrote) when we first saw the Entertainment Weekly pics. But guess what? That’s a good thing. My only question is this: Why a March release date? Call me skeptical, but wouldn’t this be better …
Once rumored to be in the running for the reigns to The Hobbit, Sam Raimi has nonetheless nabbed his fantasy epic with a film adaptation of the Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG) World of Warcraft. Known to shutins (and the family members who cry for them) across the globe, World of Warcraft follows hot elves, cow-men, armored bodybuilders and a bunch of other “Mage/Paladin” named avatars across a fantastical realm full of perverts, boob-oglers and mythical beasts. Along …
Back in the day, I snuck in a viewing of Nightmare on Elm Street thanks to free HBO at a hotel my family was staying at. That taught me not to be naughty– my sneaky viewing caused me a case of adolescent pants-pooping and a penchant for nightlights that I gave up only last month. The franchise ran its course and lost steam, but thanks to Platinum Dunes (Michael Bay’s little horror house) and their love for remaking iconic 80s …
So apparently, where I thought I was an internet maven, I’m a noob. I’ve never even heard of Derrick Comedy, a supposedly brilliant internet comedy troupe whose online skits have won praise and loyalty. In fact, they’re so popular they made a movie called Mystery Team about Bloodhound Gang wannabees who are now all growed up but remain childlike in their cluelessness. To be honest, the idea sounds like a lot of fun. Who didn’t concoct their own mystery/adventure club …
This is the International Trailer for Guy Ritchie’s new movie, “Sherlock Holmes,” due in theaters on Christmas Day. As you probably know, it stars Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law and the lovely Rachel McAdams. As you watch the trailer you’ll probably recognize a few other Ritchie regulars, including Mark Strong (“RocknRolla,” “Body of Lies,” “Stardust”). I think the trailer is enough mix of substance and tease to make this a surefire hit come December 25th. I can also say, being …
I guess I was expecting something without a modern, sans-sarif font. But Jake Gyllenhall does look like the prince from the video games (an Anglo Saxonian in Persian clothes!) and the girl (Gemma Atterton) looks like she was able to wash all that crude oil from James Bond’s room off and put on some clothes. Excellente! In the mean time, I don’t know of these are real (I wouldn’t be surprised to learn they’re not) or variants or what, but …
