Adventures of Power – Trailer and Clip
This quirky comedy could go one of two ways. It could be the next Napoleon Dynamite, although it seems to be trying hard or it could fall flat on its face from trying to be overly hip and quirky. Regardless, after watching the trailer and the clip I’m intrigued to see the full film. If […]
Amy Winehouse plans new album for 2010
Amy Winehouse is a classic case of how fame can ruin someone quickly. Once she received critical praise, and large albums sales she went absolutely nuts. There was a while there I was surprised she was even able to stand up. As much as I like her first album, and her hit off of Mark […]
Legendary Pictures picks up Warren Ellis’ ‘Gravel’
This is great news. Although, if I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard of a Ellis story being adapted for the screen, and never coming to fruition. I’d have at least twenty-five cents by now. Ellis’ stories are very hard to adapt for the screen. Why? Well, because they are incredibly nihilistic and […]
‘Star Trek’ scribes to reboot ‘Hawaii Five-O’
Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman have had a huge summer. The were the writers of both Star Trek and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. In addition to that, they have been put on dozens of other projects, and their show on FOX along with pal J.J. Abrams, Fringe, is into its second season. The two […]
The Boys Are Back
The latest film from director Scott Hicks is probably his best since Shine, which was also filmed in South Australia, and netted Geoffry Rush an Academy Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role. The Boys are Back takes place in South Australia where sports journalist Joe Warr is dealing with the loss of his […]
Couples Retreat
Peter Billingsly’s feature debut with screenwriting stars and duo Vince Vaughn and Jon Favreau have created a relationship comedy that has a number of interesting points on couples, but really lacks a lot of good humor and drags at a miserable pace for the last forty five minutes or so. Dave, Jason, Shane, and Joey […]
The Middle, Modern Family, and Cougar Town get full seasons from ABC
Well there is some good news with the bad tonight. On the news that Southland has received the axe from NBC, we also get news that ABC has picked up the majority of its stellar Wednesday night comedy block. ABC has four half hour long comedies on Wednesday, all of them seem to be fairing […]
NBC cancels ‘Southland’
The rumor mill is buzzing tonight. NBC has canceled its critically acclaimed show based around the lives of cops in an LA precinct, Southland. This is before even airing any episodes of the second season which was supposed to debut on October 23rd. One of its stars, Michael Cudlitz, who I will forever admire for […]
‘Venom’ Movie gets Gary Ross as Writer/Director
I like Gary Ross for one main reason, Pleasantville. Although, you may like him for penning/directing Seabiscuit. He doesn’t really seem like the type of person to write Spider-man 4 or be the new creative mind behind the Venom spinoff. If you look through his body of work, he is responsible for a certain type […]
