I swear, buy the time all is said and done, they’re going to be able to teach an entire marketing class based entirely on a “Snakes on a Plane” case study. The story of how this stupid little film (which I can’t wait to see) has become a cult phenomena … [Read More]

Quick update on the situation regarding the new Hulk movie. As we already talked about a few weeks ago, the next Hulk film will NOT be a sequel. It’s a total re-start that pretends the Ang Lee version doesn’t exist. Fair enough… but I was hoping for a sequel myself. … [Read More]
There aren’t many names hotter than Johnny Depp right now. And with Priates of the Caribbean 2 (look for my review tomorrow) coming out on Friday, there is no better time for another film project to announce Depp’s involvement and take advantatge of the Pirates Hype. Word it that Johnny … [Read More]
Ok, this is one of those bits of news that I’m either shocked I hadn’t heard beofre… or that I did hear and forgot. According to our good friends over at Filmrot, John Woo has decided to put his new “He-Man” movie on hold for a short time while he … [Read More]
One of my personal favorite critics, Roger Ebert, had to be rushed into surgury to have “complications from a previous cancer surgery” repaired. He is currently in the hospital in “serious but stable” condition. The folks over at CNN give us this: Ebert had surgery June 16 to remove a … [Read More]

I am personally really pumped about the new direction of the Bond franchise. Don’t get me wrong… I loved Brosnan as 007, but the casting of Daniel Craig gives a slightly darker and rougher edge to the assassin gentleman that we’ve never seen before. I like the idea of seeing … [Read More]
Look, I’m not naive, I know special interest groups try to buy local politicians all the time. So why should Movie companies in Canada be any different?
