Planet 51 looks like a fun little movie with some great twist on the alien visitor genre. But I would expect nothing less from Dreamworks. What? What’s a Ilion? Studio? Really? This quality from something that isn’t Pixar or Dreamworks? Colour me impressed! Check it out: The trailer doesn’t show … [Read More]
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO. Why is it when Hollywood needs a black actor for a role in a semi-big to big movie they incessantly look at bloody rappers for the roles???? I spend some time in … [Read More]
Ok, everyone who has been around The Movie Blog for any length of time knows that I generally don’t dig many animated films that aren’t produced by Pixar (which is the best movie studio, animated or otherwise, in the entire business). Yes, once in a while a non-Pixar movie like … [Read More]
Ok, well all know that video game movies suck… and suck hard (I have the slightest glimmer of hope that the upcoming Prince of Persia MIGHT break the trend… but I’m not holding my breath). My basic argument as to WHY they all suck, is that games are not built … [Read More]
Hey guys… new installment of my video blog. This time I’m asking some (non-retorical) questions about Transformers 2. If you’ve guys got some answers to these… please do leave your thoughts in the comments section.

Bill Nighy just freaking rules the yard. Such a phenomenal who can effortlessly transition from comedy (Shaun of the Dead) to drama (Valkyrie) to fantasy (Pirates of the Caribbean 2 & 3) to action/horror (Underworld). His portrayal of Viktor in Underworld made him my all time favorite movie vampire. Now … [Read More]

As many celebrities in Hollywood have, our roots have expanded beyond our modest beginnings but as you have often heard, we remain Canadian in our … [Read More]
I think Matt Damon is more than awesome. Awesome checks itself against a picture of Matt Damon every morning to make sure its still doing its job. More awesome than Ewoks. Ask John. Anyways, his latest film project is called The Informant! (which comes with its own exclamation point) and … [Read More]
The only real new addition to the carbon based lifeform cast of Transformers Revenge of the Fallen was the almost sexy Isabel Lucas and Ramon Rodriguez. Both of which I could do without, but it is Ramon Rodriguez (Sam’s Roommate Leo Spitz) that Bay is happy with discovering and can’t … [Read More]
Anticipation is taking on a whole new definition with the subtle ramp up to Avengers. First Iron Man gave us a peek at the badass juice that is Samuel L Jackson, and now with Iron Man 2 coming we anticipate more Nick Fury kicking ass. So who’s ass gets the … [Read More]
