Posted: December 15, 2010 at 10:17 am   /   Film, Local, Movie News

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 […]

First “Fast Five” Trailer Starring Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, and Dwayne Johnson

Posted: December 15, 2010 at 9:58 am   /   Film, Local, Movie Trailers

I think the Fast and Furious franchise is a lot of fun.  This trailer looks like it is giving fans more of the same.  Fast cars.  Ridiculous stunts.  And bad acting.  It’s nice to have so many actors from the past films return, while also adding the awesomeness of Dwayne Johnson.  Do I think the […]

Did You Know? – “Tron: Legacy”

Posted: December 12, 2010 at 4:39 pm   /   Film, Local

After months of a heavy onslaught of marketing, Tron: Legacy hits theaters this Friday 28 years after the original graced the big screen.  I recently checked out Tron on DVD for the first time, and I must admit, I was not impressed.  The idea and visuals are cool, but it is certainly dated and lacks […]

E3 Trailer: Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood HD Trailer

Posted: June 16, 2010 at 1:50 pm   /   Local, Videogames

I have blown through the first two Assassin’s Creed games, and when I’m finished I immediately wish there were more to play. Luckily for me, it appears Ubisoft is granting my wish for me. Before they release the third game in the series, they are sticking with Ezio Auditore for a bit. Although, this time […]

Sequel to “Valentine’s Day” Already in the Works?

Posted: February 8, 2010 at 4:08 pm   /   Local, Movie News

I won’t see Valentine’s Day until tonight, so I can make no judgement on the quality of the film.

Posted: January 12, 2010 at 12:58 pm   /   Local, Movie News

I was originally excited to see that Robert Downey Jr. would be teaming up with his Iron Man director for another project.  It seems I made the mistake of giving my hopes up too quick of seeing Downey and Faverau work on another comic book adaptation, Cowboys and Aliens.  The movie is still moving forward […]
