    Vampires Suck Makes $4m on Day One

    Vampires Suck 1

    Now then, I am all for parodies when they poke fun at something that has taken over the world to such a destructive degree that Twilight-mania has swept over all of us, so the newest addition to the spoof-genre that brought us such atrocities as Epic Movie and Superhero Movie wasn’t quite as unwelcome as the majority [...]




    Is Liam Neeson About To Join Up With John Woo For Flying Tigers?

    John Woo 1

    The Hollywood Reporter have broken the news today that John Woo will team up with the Creative Arts Agency and IMAX to bring his epic vision Flying Tigers- the $90 million, 1940s set bilingual aerial battle movie that follows on from his excellent work on Red Cliff and is set to go into pre-production in [...]




    HelpMe.Net Reveal New Photos From Let Me In

    Let Me In 1

    Whatever you might think about the Hollywood culture of remaking the best performing foreign films, the US version of Let The Right One In (unnecessarily renamed Let Me In for no real reason I can fathom) looks to be a reasonably good remake so far, with the casting in particular of Chloe Moretz looking like [...]




    No Need to Panic: Justin Bieber’s Flick Has a New Director. Phew!

    Step  Up 3D poster

    Literally some film fans would have been concerned earlier this month when it was announced that An Inconvenient Truth’s Oscar-winning helmer David Guggenheim had pulled out of directing the 3D Justin Bieber movie that is set to take over Valentine’s Day weekend next year. But, I say to those (probably very lonely) people, fear not, [...]




    Disney Post Huge Profits In Third Quarter: Mouseketeers Unanimously Rejoice

    Given the incredible effect Toy Story 3 has had on the market since release (both in terms of box office and merchandise), it isn’t exactly surprising that Variety are reporting that Disney have announced soaring profits for the third quarter of the year. Incredibly, the studio posted profit figures of $123 million compared with a [...]




    I Love You Phillip Morris DVD Review

    I Love You Phillip Morris 1

    First, a confession- I used to be a pretty stellar Jim Carrey fan. For me, his oft-mentioned rubber-faced buffoonery just didn’t cheapen, no matter how many times I saw Liar Liar or The Mask. Heaven forgive me, I  even quite enjoyed his take on Edward Nigma/The Riddler in Batman Forever (just imagine for a minute [...]




    By The Beard of Zeus! Anchorman 2 Was Going To Be A Musical?!

    anchorman 2- the musical 1

    Let’s face it, Wake Up Ron Burgundy was not an adequate sequel to Anchorman, even despite the occasional belly laughs the re-edited (and largely cobbled together) cut of deleted and additional scenes from the original managed to command. But then again, it never aspired to be anything but a tongue-in-cheek re-edit to give fans more [...]




    Got Money? Get Pixar!

    Pixar Graph 1

    Forget all those Cash for Gold adverts that pepper day-time television like a garrish, annoying pox, the real way to make a clever buck is to invest in Pixar. Look at the case for investment: they are yet to make a film that is not heralded as a success with both critics and audiences; they [...]




    Lucas Till Added to X-Men: First Class’ Register

    Lucas Till

    Further updates on the Fox/Matthew Vaughn helmed X-Men: First Class project again today. According to Entertainment Weekly’s Hollywood Insider team, teen heart-throb Lucas Till has been added to the already swelling cast list for Matthew Vaughn’s X-Men: First Class. The details have the Hannah Montana: The Movie negotiating to play the role of Havok, otherwise known as Scott  [...]




    Is Rob Lowe Set to Rescue Miramax?

    miramax logo

    One of the most personally disappointing stories of the year so far hit the blogosphere back in March, and pretty much sounded the death knell. The news detailed the decline of Miramax, which had been a limping creature since Disney’s acquisition of the Weinstein’s studio back as far back as 2005, and it prompted me to [...]




    Updates on Stephen King’s It and Pet Sematary Remakes

    IT remake 1

    Thanks to Bloody-Disgusting, we have some news regarding the remakes of two of Stephen King’s best loved stories, It and Pet Sematary. Unfortunately, along with Misery, these two are also probably the best King horror adaptations to have hit screens (but only because Stand By Me and The Shawshank Redemption dont count). They are certainly [...]




    Twilight: Eclipse- Officially the Biggest Midnight Opening Ever

    Twilight Ticket Excitement

    Not exactly surprising news coming out thanks to Variety that the Twilight hordes have added the latest film franchise addition, Twilight: Eclipse to the record books thanks to a phenomenally busy midnight release night across 12 territories on Tuesday night. Even taking into account the sheer fan madness that usually meets everything related to Stephenie [...]




    Happy 90th Birthday, Ray Harryhausen

    Cyclops

    It may have been five years before Willis O’Brien’s ground-breaking first use of stop-motion animation in The Lost World, and the most famous use of the medium in 1932′s King Kong, but it was in 1920 that the triumverate worlds of movie special effects, stop motion, and monster movies was fundamentally changed forever. For that [...]

Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs helmers Phil Lord and Chris Miller are currently locked in final negotiations to write and direct the movie for Warner Brothers and producers Dan Lin and Roy Lee.

    First Look at Verbinski’s Rango Characters

    Rango Characters

    The guys over at /Film have released the first image of characters for the upcoming animation project by Gore Verbinski- the curiosity that is Rango. The movie, which has cast Johnny Depp as the titular chameleon with an identity crisis, alongside Isla Fisher, Abigail Breslin, Alfred Molina, Bill Nighy, Harry Dean Stanton, Ray Winstone, and Timothy Olyphant as [...]




    Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the Highest Grossing Video Game Movie of All Time!

    Disney Dollar

    Thanks to FilmJunk, we now know that Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has become the single biggest video game movie adaptation in history in terms of international box office. “What?!” I hear you cry, “surely Street Fighter deserves that heady accolade”. Well, frankly no, it doesn’t. It’s hardly a huge achievement in all [...]




    Friday Lunchtime Brilliance: The Maltin Game

    Doug Benson I Love Movies

    Ever spent one of those mundane Friday afternoon blankly staring at your office screen, nursing a dull head from last night’s impromptu and badly conceived visit to the local and in full knowledge that you will achieve precisely nothing before the end of day bell goes and you run off for the weekend? Well, curse your bad [...]




    Planet of the Apes Prequel Casts Lithgow and Pinto

    John Lithgow

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, John Lithgow and Freida Pinto have been added to the cast for Rupert Wyatt’s Rise of the Apes, the prequel to the Planet of the Apes franchise which already boasts James Franco as its leading man. Preliminary plot details are slightly surprising, considering the ominous implications of the title. The narrative will [...]

    Who Framed Roger Rabbit 1

    Empire Online have a few tasty nuggets of information concerning a number of upcoming Disney projects, thanks to their interview with Don Hahn, the man behind Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beauty & The Beast and The Lion King. The producer managed to offer a couple of choice tidbits, despite obviously wrestling with his own binding [...]




    HeyUGuys’ Night In With Some Cowboys

    tmobile_logo

    There’s something about cowboys that makes them irresistible- whether it’s the extravagant facial hair, or the super-machoism, or all that tarnished leather, there is certainly an unspoken desire in most men to be a bona-fide Wild West, six-shooter slinging cow boy. I remember, even up to my late teens, whenever I was asked what I [...]
