“Gravity” Finds a Co-Star for Sandra Bullock in George Clooney

Posted: December 16, 2010 at 11:00 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

Alfonso Cuarón is a very talented director to say the least.  He directed Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban which some consider as the best film in the franchise.  He also directed Children of Men which is a personal favorite of mine.  So it’s hard for me to believe that he has had a […]

The Irishman […]

Failed “Superman Lives” Suit Test Footage

Posted: December 16, 2010 at 1:19 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

I am just going to let the footage speak for itself.  Tim Burton was at one time attached to direct the sequel Superman Lives back in 1998.  Kevin Smith wrote the screenplay, and Nicholas Cage was set to star as the Man of Steel.  So what went wrong?  In my opinion, the casting of Cage, […]

“Ouija” Movie to be an Action / Adventure

Posted: December 16, 2010 at 12:19 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

A movie based on a board game.  For me, that sentence just spells disaster on multiple levels.  Only a few have ever been successful.  The rarities include the hilarious murder mystery Clue which still stands as my favorite film to watch whenever it is on tv.  Jumanji is another film that I loved as a […]

Directed Jon Favreau recently posted this on his Twitter account: It’s true, I’m directing MAGIC KINGDOM, not IRON MAN 3.  I’ve had a great run with Marvel and wish them the best. When I initially heard the rumor that Favreau may not return to direct IM3, I thought it was the same story as the […]

Let’s take one step at a time and work backwards from the article’s title. Clint Eastwood’s next film will be a J. Edgar Hoover biopic tentatively titled J. Edgar.  No release date is set, but the assumption is that it will be released in 2012.  I am all aboard anything Eastwood does right now.  I […]

First Pic of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson with Vin Diesel in “Fast Five”

Posted: December 13, 2010 at 2:06 pm   /   Film, Local, Movie News

I have actually been a fan of all of the Fast and Furious films.  Yes, the acting is bad.  And the stories are predictable.  And they have steadily gotten worse.  But I think they are a ton of fun.  Dwayne Johnson seems like a perfect fit for this world, and I was pumped to see […]

There is a good and bad to every story.  I always like to start with the good.  My hope is that the good news will still be lingering in your head as I proceed to give you the bad.  The beautiful Salma Hayek is being eyed by Sony (they aren’t the only ones eyeing her) […]
