Spike Jonze is definitely one of the most original and peculiar filmmakers to work in Hollywood. That seems like a big statement but when you consider his wonderfully array of films: BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION and most recently 2009′s WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, it makes more sense. He also directed perhaps my favorite music [...]

I almost called this the “final” MAN OF STEEL trailer, but given how many trailers, TV spots, posters and images we’ve gotten so far, I doubt this is the last trailer we’ll get for the film. We’re just over three weeks away and the marketing onslaught is almost too much to bare. But this new [...]

Maybe Michael Bay killed the mystique of the giant robot on robot action, but I’ve found myself curiously unimpressed with anything I’ve seen from Guillermo del Toro’s PACIFIC RIM. If I had never seen a CGI spectacle featuring robots beating up other robots, then maybe I’d be more stoked for PACIFIC RIM, but since we’ve [...]

Veronica Roth’s Best Selling novel DIVERGENT is getting the big screen treatment. Today we get a new image of THE DESCENDANT’s Shailene Woodley as the lead character looking to jump from a tall building. I have not read the novel so I can’t completely comment on what may be happening here but the onlookers seem [...]

Although Vin Diesel is trying, it remains to be seen if audiences will come out to see him in RIDDICK. PITCH BLACK was a surprise, low budget success that launched his career, but THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK was a bit of a mess (although I know a lot of you liked it). So Vin Diesel [...]

Writer, director and actor Jon Favreau seems to be dipping into his IRON MAN 2 pool to extract some talent for his next project CHEF. His biggest snag was Robert Downey Jr. reported just last Friday from Cannes. Next on the list is Scarlett Johansson who is no small fish herself. Barring any crazy scenarios, [...]

In 2009, INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS was my favorite film of the year. In 2012, DJANGO UNCHAINED received the top honor. Both films have two things in common, they were directed by Quentin Tarantino and they starred Christoph Waltz. Waltz won a supporting Academy Award for both roles and has quickly become one of my favorite actors. [...]

The first DESPICABLE ME was a surprise joy, so I’m curious if the follow up can capture that same magic. It’s always fun when you have a goofy villain as the lead and then a ton of wacky minions, who practically steal the show for every scene they are in. The new poster for DESPICABLE [...]

Wow. All I can say is, wow. In some very odd news, aging action star Arnold Schwarzenegger is looking to star in the campy 1984 B-movie remake of THE TOXIC AVENGER. Hollywood is really scraping the bottom of the barrel for their remakes nowadays. I enjoyed the cult hit as much as the next person [...]

The new RED 2 poster is out. While it is pretty basic, at least it’s a combination of most of the stars rather than just a few. The seven main aging stars are walking pretty tough as they look like a bunch of senior citizens you woudn’t want to run into at the local Bingo [...]

In less than two weeks, the moment that millions of fans have been dreaming about will finally become a reality; ‘Arrested Development‘ will return for a fourth season.

Technically, the photo appears to be Paul Giamatti as Aleksei Mikhailovich Systevich before his Rhino transformation, but I thought the title worked better without all those pesky consonants from a name that goes on forever. The first picture of Mr. Giamatti intensely screaming his head off in THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 comes courtesy of director [...]

We haven’t seen much of John Travolta recently. Other than last year’s disappearing SAVAGES, Travolta hasn’t done a film since the silly FROM PARIS WITH LOVE in 2010 and the down right terrible OLD DOGS in 2009. It looks like the SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, GREASE man will be signing on to star in THE FORGER. [...]

A handful of new pictures from Sofia Coppola’s THE BLING RING starring Emma Watson have been released. Coppola’s fifth directed film will be hitting theaters in about month and it’s time to start drumming up the marketing campaign. None of Coppola’s previous films have been box office gold but they usually stir up some strong [...]

Several new images of Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy on the set of THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN 2 have revealed some interesting discussion. Possible SPOILER ALERT. If you are unaware, in the comic book series, the character of Gwen Stacey is killed, so speculation of when in the films has always been rampant. Now that does [...]

If I knew nothing about THE BLING RING and happened to walk by this new poster in a movie theater, I would know right away that the film was directed by Sofia Coppola. It looks similar to MARIE ANTOINETTE and SOMEWHERE, with the font of the title and the way it’s written. But if there’s [...]

Ben Kingsley is looking spectacular as the tattood face of Mazer Rackham in THE ENDER’S GAME. His character is the one who trains Ender as a boy, much like an Obi Wan Kenobi type. The science fiction film should be a good dose of excitement as it comes out during the start of the more [...]

Admittedly, this picture is awful.

Let’s face it; a movie called SPRING BREAKERS isn’t going to do much business once Spring Break is over, no matter how many former Disney child stars in bikinis it has.

Guillermo del Toro’s PACIF RIM has a lot of question marks. In fact, I would say the biggest thing going for it is that Guillermo del Toro is directing it. Under any other generic director, PACIFIC RIM would fall to the waste side like last year’s BATTLESHIP. But with such an unusual visionary director, the [...]
