From Stacie Hougland: This YouTube vid crossed my email earlier today, and those of you who, like me, enjoyed The Dark Knight enough but had a problem with one certain aspect of it might find this as funny as I
From Lizerne Guiting: Darkness runs deep into the sixth Harry Potter movie's first trailer. We get a first glimpse of a young Tom Riddle, who becomes the wizarding world's most malevolent force, Lord Voldemort. Ten-year-old Hero Fiennes-Tiffin, who plays young Voldemort, is Ralph Fiennes' nephew and shares the same creepiness factor in the scene shown. You can also check him out in...
From Stacie Hougland: Scorsese's homage to the Rolling Stones, Shine a Light, seems like a natural progression -- the band's "Gimme Shelter" has appeared in three of his films: Goodfellas, Casino and The Departed. So what teaming could be better for a rockumentary? The director conspired with the aging but still exuberant rockers to film two nights of their "Bigger...
From Stacie Hougland: More from Comic-Con...On the horror front, we got a first look at Sam Raimi's Drag Me to Hell, in which Alison Lohman plays a girl literally dragged off to a world of evil spirits -- it looks like good campy fun in true Raimi tradition. We saw a couple of scenes from it, one a rad catfight between Lohman and a garish old woman that puts office supplies to all new use....
From Stacie Hougland: It's Day 3 of Comic-Con, and crazy with things to do and see. I parked myself in Hall H for the Terminator Salvation presentation, which included the trailer premiere. People, get ready to get pumped for this one, it looks like a fan-freaking-tastic way to reinvent the series. The trailer opens on Christian Bale, who plays John Connor, who finds himself in a...
After hearing the horror stories about traffic on the I-5, I decided to head down early from L.A. for Day 2 of Comic-Con. O.k., 2 a.m. might have been a little bit too early. Needless to say, my parking spot was great. But, even at 4 a.m., never underestimate the throngs of Con goers already in the area willing to sit, sleep and squat for a spot in line for Hall H, where the movie studios were...
From Lizerne Guiting: I’m still recovering from the first day of events at Comic-Con. It was pure madness. Crowds everywhere. I’m aching from toting my laptop and loot bag giveaways. And I can’t believe the ridiculous amount of money I’ve spent on parking, gas and food. But after a whirlwind of comics, movies and gaming combined, I can see why 120,000 fans are willing to...
From Lizerne Guiting: Hall H in San Diego’s Convention Center was the place to be on Thursday, as some 6,000 Twilight fans lined up hours to grab a good seat in the Q&A session with the cast members and director. What was the big deal? Robert Pattinson, whom many recognize as Cedric Diggory from Harry Potter. The 22-year-old actor plays Edward Cullen, a vampire who falls in love with a...
Well, if The Dark Knight's opening wasn't enough for movie and comic book fans, this week brings the arrival of another fanboy favorite, The X-Files: I want to Believe, and in San Diego, lots of panting and previewing of what's in store for the rest of 2008 and beyond in the form of comic books, comic book movies and everything else related to the art form at the annual Comic-Con....
From Stacie Hougland: Most of us leave the blackjack table with lighter pockets and a darker disposition. Not so the kids in 21, a movie I didn't expect to like, because let's face it: watching grass grow is more exciting than watching people play cards in the movies (see Rounders, The Cooler). This one, though, based on a real-life story about some MIT students who rocked the house by...
Bat fans, you've just made history. Yes, it all seems huge. But time will really bear out what a landmark weekend it truly was... -Biggest weekend ever for a single film (The Dark Knight's actual final take, $158.4 million, was up $3.1 million from the Sunday estimates, and was $7.3 million more than the record set last year by Spider-Man 3's $151.1 million debut) -Biggest one day...
From Lizerne Guiting: Love belting out ABBA songs in the shower? Can’t pass up singing "Dancing Queen" on karaoke night? Universal Pictures is hosting a Mamma Mia! singing contest tomorrow at noon to celebrate its opening day. (Well, they had to do something to compete with The Dark Knight.) Everyone’s invited to drop by and sing an ABBA song. The first 100 participants will...
For all of you Bat fans curious to know (and here's hoping you got your tickets already if you're planning to see it tonight), below are some of the stats we're seeing... *TDK will debut with nearly 3,000 midnight performances nationwide*So far, hundreds of showtimes are already sold out throughout the weekend*On Fandango, TDK is taking in more than 90% of weekly ticket...
From Stacie Hougland: If you're a fan of Brit actor Jason Statham, like I am, you've forgiven his last few filmic transgressions (read: In the Name of the King, War, the dreadful Crank) and will still give the guy a chance. If you missed him on the big screen in The Bank Job, you won't be disappointed with the DVD. In fact, you'll likely be thrilled to see Statham doing what he...
From Lizerne Guiting: Those buying tix for The Dark Knight: The IMAX Experience might be in for a Harry Potter tease. It’s rumored that a 15-second trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is attached to DK’s IMAX showing. Some HP diehards already bought a seat for a glimpse.What could possibly be shown in 15 seconds? It’s barely enough time to say, “Harry Potter...
