If you strain really hard and use your imagination, summer is just around the corner. Can you feel it? I can… and it feels like awesome. Awesome because Paramount Studios just announced their official summer release slate. What makes Paramount any more awesome than say, Universal, Dreamworks, Disney or any other studio basking in warm California sunshine as I shovel my driveway? Because they’ve got three biggie releases destined to line Paramount’s pantsuit with lots of recession devalued Global Currency …

You’d have to be hibernating in a dank, drippy cave for the last three years to not know about the movie “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan” and it’s hilarious star, Sacha Baron Cohen. Cohen is also famous for his characters Ali G and Brüno, the latter of which is coming to the big screen this summer (July 9, 2009) in what is sure to be another controversial and crude film. I can’t wait! …
Looks like the third film in the “Meet the Fockers” trilogy will start filming this summer, with Ben Stiller, Teri Polo, Robert De Niro, Blythe Danner and Owen Wilson set to reprise their roles. The third movie will be titled “Little Fockers” and most likely directed by Paul Weitz, who is the helmer behind “American Pie,” “About a Boy,” and “In Good Company.” I hope Weitz can breathe some new life into this franchise, because the second film was kind …
ThinkGeek.com had the best April Fools’ Day product ever created in the history of false products with this Tauntaun sleeping bag. I know this is a joke, but seriously – this needs to be real. This is goldmine waiting to be mined by husky, hairy dwarfs. Think of all the possibilites. You could be camping with your buddies, maybe perchance you had a little too much pork n’ beans, and after campfire singing and post-dinner flatulance, you can utter, in …
You may (or if you’re into being productive with your time, may not) remember the name Neill Blomkamp attached as director to a film adaptation of Halo–some video game/sci-fi franchise about an armored space marine fighting armored aliens and plant zombies. The Halo: How Not To Get a Movie Made debacle was mercifully suckerpunched in part due to budget fights and the rumored disgruntlement over the choice first time feature director Neill Blomkamp. Despite the project’s collapse and my subsequent …
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 …
It’s the first weekend of April and things are a little a slow on the “summer appetizer” movie release slate (IE- there’s money to be made, but maaaaybe not enough to give them a summer slot). Instead, it’ll most likely be a weekend for audiences to revisit the gooey, slimy and engorged antics of Monsters vs. Aliens (Andy’s review here). Unless, of course, you like your movies served up on a piping hot plate of fancy girls, pretty boys and the …
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 …
