Maybe it's just me, but there's still something to be said for going the CGI-less route. For every great digital effect (e.g. the superhero outfit in Iron Man, which, like the movie and its lead star, is fantastic), there are many more that don't quite fit the bill (say, the not-so-legendary walking dead in I Am Legend). Those who loved the Land of the Lost t.v. show will be glad to...
From Stacie Hougland: I know what you're saying. Really? Yes, it caused controversy. No, it didn't do well at the box office. Yes, it's convoluted to the point of incomprehensibility. But in spite of itself, the embattled The Golden Compass, out now in single and two-disc platinum series, is one outstanding DVD that should not be dismissed, especially by fans of the fantasy genre. The...
Upcoming is the release of Iron Man and the kick-off of summer movie season. I'm sure you all have your most anticipated summer movies, but we'd also like to ask,Thanks for the votes! See more movie location photos and road trips in our Summer Movie Guide. We hear Indy's fond of this spot in Hilo,
Yes, as hard as it is to believe (and we know it's a stretch, right?), it is official, the readers of FHM magazine find Megan Fox (the it-girl from Transformers) to be the "sexiest woman in the world" (more news here). Congrats to Ms. Fox, and we'll see you next at the movies in the Diablo Cody-penned project, Jennifer's Body (guess who plays Jennifer?). Also making the list...
For once, the movie lived up to the hype. Right before its release, all of the over-the-top marketing for Forgetting Sarah Marshall seemed a bit overkill. And weird. It could be me, but the whole plastering the city with "I Hate Sarah Marshall" graffiti almost made me not want to see it. But, it turns out the marketers, and the critics, were right. Sarah Marshall is everything it's...
From Stacie Hougland: DVD of the Week: If you can endure the stomach-churning first 10 minutes of shaky-cam, you're in for a sci-fi/horror thrill ride of monstrous proportions with Cloverfield.When a giant monster attacks Manhattan, a group of 20-somethings celebrating their buddy Rob's (Michael Stahl-David) going-away party find themselves on the run, first to Brooklyn, then back to the...
This in from Lizerne Guiting: Disney goes green with the launch of its new film label, Disneynature – to produce big-screen nature documentaries. The first film for the new label is Earth, narrated by Darth Vader voice James Earl Jones, which will premiere theatrically on Earth Day, April 22, 2009. France-based Disney exec Jean-Francois Camilleri, who co-produced March of the Penguins, will...
Fans of The Spirit -- or Eva Mendes -- take a look below, at Lionsgate's just-released teaser poster for the movie, and a sexy still of Mendes' jewel thief character Sand Saref. Comic book fans of Frank Miller's work (he's also the mastermind behind 300 and Sin City) already know what's on the way, but for those who are new to The Spirit world, the basic premise, based on...
Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (which opens wide on 04/25) features a subplot where our heroes are mistaken for flight-boarding terrorists, a bit of sick humor that could get cut out of the film if H&K2 ever ends up as an in-flight movie...which got us thinking...One minute you're on the plane to Amsterdam, the next
From Stacie Hougland: If you're an indie film buff in the L.A. area, you might want to grab a seat at the Los Angeles United Film Festival, a three-day weekend of independent films and shorts and filmmmaker Q&A sessions. Among the films being shown are a documentary of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Union: The Business Behind Getting High, starring folks like comedian Joe Rogan (who opens...
Jeffrey Wells at Hollywood Elsewhere posted last night that Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull is locked in, and that the final run time is somewhere in the 140 minute range. While that's -- thankfully -- short of the overly-extended third Pirates of the Caribbean (which rang in at 168 minutes), it's still been enough to get bloggers buzzing: is two and a half hours of...
From Stacie Hougland: “My ease in teenspeak comes from being an exceptionally immature adult,” reveals Oscar-winning writer Diablo Cody in an extra on the Juno DVD, new today in single and two-disc versions. That’s pretty much the tone captured in its many bonus features. If you somehow missed the hype, the raved-about Juno tells the story of a smart-mouthed high schooler who...
This in from Lizerne Guiting: Take a look at the just-released poster showing a forlorn Bruce Banner (Edward Norton), who ranked fourth in our survey of Most Anticipated New Character Portrayal. It’s got a lot going on in the background: helicopters with searchlights, explosions and tanks. Frankly, I like the dark green, which seems to fit the personality of the monstrosity, way more than...
From Stacie Hougland: The lid just loosened--just barely--on one of the most top-secret films of the summer, X-Files 2. The good folks over at X-Files News (who really have it covered for all things Mulder & Scully) have released a few brand new stills that may--or may not?--give away a few clues to the plot. "Honestly, Mulder. Can we just go inside for a cup of
From Stacie Hougland: There’s a sequence in the beginning of the music mockumentary Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story so jaw-droppingly, inappropriately hysterical, I had to pause it while howling like a lunatic or I’d have missed the next scene. Although the film can’t (and doesn’t) keep that pace up throughout, it’s my pick for DVD of the Week for the brilliant first...
"When am I gonna learn how to punch?"
"These go to eleven."
"This ain't my first time at the rodeo."
"Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming."
"You're gonna need a bigger boat."
