New ‘RIPD’ Trailer Starring Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges (Adapted From the Dark Horse Comic Book)
At first glance you might think that R.I.P.D., which stands for the “Rest in Peace Department,” looks like a Men in Black knockoff. It is easy to see how you would jump to the conclusion after watching the trailer for the Dark Horse Comic Book adaptation. Sure, the main characters are a team comprised of […]
“Red” Gets a Sequel and Writers
I really enjoyed Red. It was a fun popcorn flick. Most of the entertainment value for the film comes from the cast. The film was a box office success and even earned a surprising Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture – Musical or Comedy. Can the studio see the same success with a sequel? They […]
Red
This year has effectively answered, what should aging action stars do? Well, if Red is any indication, embrace the age and make solid action comedy out of it.

I find it a bit depressing that Bruce Willis is considered old enough now to be considered a senior citizen of the action community. Him along with other veteran actors such as Helen Mirren, Morgan Freeman, John Malkovich and Mary-Louise Parker are all playing aged CIA agents. The concept which is based upon a graphic […]

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 […]
