Last May's smash hit Iron Man rockets to DVD and Blu-ray today, an essential addition to anyone's collection. Sure it's popcorny fun, but as far as guys playing dress-up in superhero garb, this well-crafted action blockbuster blew me away and became by far my favorite of all last summer's releases.You know the plot: Robert Downey Jr. plays semi-mad industrialist Tony Stark, who...
Baby Brad Pitt is born old and wrinkly but gains youthful exuberance as he ages in the upcoming The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. The recently released second trailer reveals more of Button’s special effects and makeup, which was done by our friends at Drac Studios. Brad’s skin may be sagging, but he’s still mesmerizing—even for prune standards. See for
Yesterday's "Disney Showcase" at the Kodak theater featured a lot of surprise casting announcements, even more star appearances and a full-length screening of the well-received dog-meets-real-world cartoon Bolt (in theaters in November in Disney Digital 3D). One thing you can say about the studio...they do know how to "go big." The 10-hour presentation was like a combo...
Twilighters will be thrilled to discover the demand for vampire lore is stronger than ever in Hollywood and beyond. Take a look at the recent upsurge of bloodsucking: TV viewers received HBO’s newly released "True Blood" with a positive response—so much so that the series, centering on a vampire-human romance and assimilation, has already been signed for a second season. The...
For movie buffs, it doesn't get much better than The Godfather trilogy. And true movie buffs will want to head out Right Now to get themselves a high def setup for this week's epic release, The Godfather - The Coppola Restoration on Blu-ray, because isn't getting the best picture available for the best movies ever made what it's all about? The films themselves need no...
Still fuming about Half-Blood Prince’s release date change? Maybe some IMAX 3-D-enhanced scenes will assuage the rage. Last month Rich Gelfond, co-CEO of IMAX Corp., told shareholders, "we believe this film will include approximately 25 minutes in IMAX 3-D, split between the opening sequence of the film and the finale." I can see it now... wands hurtling curses and jinxes that...
In my humble opinion, there hasn't been a decent Bond theme song since Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" in 1985, and back then who didn't like everything they did anyway? Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" on Casino Royale made my skin crawl, and one has only to look back at Madonna's dreadful "Die Another Day" to know how easy it is to butcher an...
If box office offerings of late haven’t been the great escape you’re looking for, consider going indie. Some upcoming critically acclaimed art house films stemmed from written works, akin to summer’s blockbusters that originated as comic books and best sellers. It’s proven that great writing makes compelling fodder for screenwriters, even if they don’t end up busting...
When I was a sophomore back at USC during the stone age (circa 1992 when people still rented VHS tapes at Blockbuster and the phrase "Internet" was met with "Interwho?"), my roommates bet me the price of movie rentals, $50 bucks, and a free pizza that I couldn't stay up 24 hours straight watching movies with only a ten-minute break between flicks. Oh, if only I had been...
Wildcat fans, your chance to see Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens four stories tall is coming October 24! That’s still more than five weeks away, but already, we’re selling out lots of seats on Fandango; tix went on sale somewhat under the radar last week. If you’ve followed Troy and Gabriella in their two small-screen movies, you’ll definitely want to see their senior year...
If you're looking for a meaningful film with moments of quiet dignity, Speed Racer, out today on DVD/BD, won't be for you. But if you're easily distracted by shiny, fast-moving objects and bright colors, this hectic, hyperreal skittle of a movie will be right up your alley--and your kids', too. As a devoted fan of the cartoon as a kid, I was initially disappointed to hear the...
One of the wackiest concepts I've ever heard of, an opera version of the 1986 cult gem The Fly, immediately got me all abuzz when I found out it was coming from France to Los Angeles. Filmmaker David Cronenberg teamed up with composer Howard Shore and production designer Dante Ferretti for this limited run, so if you're a fan of horror sci-fi (or just weird things generally) and...
Some of the biggest names in Hollywood pop up on Forbes Magazine's second annual ranking of Hollywood's most overpaid stars, and guess which one came out on top? That's right, Nicole Kidman. According to their calculations, Kidman's latest movies have made just $1 for every dollar she was paid, compared with $8 last year. By the way, she makes $15 million a film. Fellow Aussie...
If you thought you'd be older than McCain by the time Jackie Chan and Jet Li finally teamed up, The Forbidden Kingdom is the answer to your Kung Fu prayers. At 54 and 45, respectively, their first joint venture has great fight scenes (choreographed by Crouching Tiger's Woo-ping Yuen), funny lines and both subtle and overt references to martial arts flicks of yore. Not-So-Young FuA sort of...
JJ Abrams has revealed why William Shatner won't make a guest appearance in the re-energized Star Trek movie, and the reason is...William Shatner. Apparently, the 'ol Captain didn't want to do a simple cameo, and desired that the story focus on him "significantly." Here is the direct quote from AMCtv's interview with Abrams: "The bigger thing was that he was very...
"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."
