From Lizerne Guiting: Turns out, to break into the biz, you have to be the highest bidder. Sony Pictures is collaborating with nonprofit org Stand Up To Cancer to auction off a Spider-Man 4 package that includes a walk-on role in the prophesied blockbuster. That won’t release for a few more years, but when it does, the lucky winner and a guest will visit the set, meet and greet the cast,...
Now that the summer movie season's just about over (and wow, is it just me or did this one seem to go by extremely fast?), we've got some numbers from our poll asking which films all of you moviegoers are looking forward to the most this Fall, and into 2009. Here's a quick month-by-month of the leading titles, by percentage... -- Sept. 2008's Most Anticipated: Burn After Reading...
From Stacie Hougland: Don't expect to see Robert Downey Jr. in the next Batman movie, if his backhanded compliment to The Dark Knight in an interview on moviehole.net is any indication. Said the always-outspoken Iron Man and Tropic Thunder star: "It's like a Ferrari engine of storytelling and script writing and I'm like, 'That's not my idea of what I want to see in a...
From Stacie Hougland: David Mamet sets his noirish tale about honesty, deceit and the Hollywood machine in the world of Mixed Martial Arts in Redbelt, less a movie about sports as it is a dialogue-driven depiction of the (pretty deplorable) human condition. The result is a riveting, if fairly implausible, fable about a man whose efforts to do the right thing bring all the wrong consequences, with...
It's been a guy comedy summer with movies like Zohan, Pineapple Express and Tropical Thunder all racking up major box office profits. Last weekend, though, the girls had their day at the movies, too, with The House Bunny coming in at number two with a respectable debut of $14.5 million. More than a few moviegoers were obviously curious to find out how Anna Faris' fictional Playboy...
From Lizerne Guiting: ABBA enthusiasts, rejoice! Universal announced a Mamma Mia! Sing-Along Edition, hitting select theaters across the country Aug. 29. Never mind that your breath reeks of nacho cheese and jalapeño. It’s OK if you’re a bit off key or even tone deaf. There’s a pretty good chance your rendition of “S.O.S.” will be better than Pierce...
From Lizerne Guiting: Tropic Thunder ousted The Dark Knight from the No. 1 spot at the box office last weekend, but the IMAX version was still Fandango’s top seller yesterday. Evidently, fans just can’t get enough of the movie that’s making cinematic history. If watching it multiple times doesn’t suffice, you can now buy the script, which went on sale yesterday, or you can...
Our sister site Fancast has an interesting mention today about this Friday's release for Death Race. Everybody on the Internet's been buzzing about next year's Watchmen release, which has now been officially watched (and served) by Fox, who're seeking to block its opening due to rights issues. But could the same happen to Universal's Death Race? With less than 48 hours to go...
From Stacie Hougland: Looks like this August is tween-movie month, with kid flicks being the only notable DVD releases for the third week in a row--not much new for the adult set lately. This week, 13-year-olds should be thrilled, as Disney releases its massive hit Hannah Montana And Miley Cyrus: Best Of Both Worlds Concert Tour (for which Fandango sold a whopping 30 percent of its $29 million...
Now that Transformers was a huge hit, why not bring back some other Gen X favorites from the '80s? Word from Latino Review is that those five beloved mechanical lions from the Japanese animation will form together to make ultimate fighter Voltron on the big screen soon enough. The Mark Gordon Co. is attached to produce Voltron: Defender of the Universe, Relativity Media will finance, and a...
From Stacie Hougland: It's a lean week for new releases, but if you're a Stephen Chow fan, you might want to check out CJ7, a wildly bizarre yet strangely watchable kid flick by the writer/director of Shaolin Soccer and Kung Fu Hustle. Chow stars as Ti, a dirt-poor construction worker whose paycheck largely goes to pay for son Dicky's (Jiao Xu, a girl playing a boy, just one of its...
From Stacie Hougland: Just got some news I can get behind, at the risk of dating myself. Anyone who grew up in the early 1980s knows of the miniseries "V," about the arrival of fascist reptilian aliens (the Visitors) in human-face who first befriend humankind then attempt to take over planet Earth and make dinner out of us. It looks like creator Kenneth Johnson is finally getting plans...
From Stacie Hougland: If you're looking for a family film geared toward tween girls, look no further than Nim's Island, which should satisfy any 11-year-old with an imagination. She flies through the air with the greatest of ease.The premise is this: Nim (Abigail Breslin) lives on a deserted island with her scientist dad (Gerard Butler), and spends her time playing with the island animals...
"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."
