Quite frankly I’m stunned that a full motion picture biopic on the life of Frank Sinatra hasn’t been made up to this point. The man’s life is so damn interesting… so damn influential… so damn controversial… so damn scandalous… and so damn COOL it’s hard to image no one has … [Read More]
There are some ideas for movies that are so far out there that you can’t decide if they’re sheer genius, or just plain stupid as hell. The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break is one of those concepts. Word on the street is that Kung Fu Panda co-director John Stevenson (who … [Read More]
Robert Zemeckis really loves his 3D motion capture animation. I wasn’t all that big a fan of Polar Express, but I was floored by his rendition of Beowulf, which was not only amazing to look at… it was just a flat out solid movie. Still, I was honestly disappointed when … [Read More]
I only got around to seeing the original Fright Night almost 2 years ago when a friend of mine (who just loves the film) insisted I come over and watch it. I’m glad I did. The movie is flat out hilarious for a horror movie (intentionally funny… not “so bad … [Read More]
Can someone please just shoot me? I feel like after the title of this post… and the first sentence I just wrote, I really shouldn’t have to write any more. In an age where there are 10,000 really talented actors (REAL actors) who are busting their asses to get a … [Read More]
I’m actually a pretty big fan of the old 1993 Sylvester Stallone flick “Cliffhanger“. It was fun, had a terrific bad guy (John Lithgow), a solid supporting cast (like Michael Rooker) and that opening scene where the girl falls to her death was one of the best WTF openings to … [Read More]
Jean Claude Van Damme and Vinnie Jones will be pairing up in Weapon, an action flick that will have the two as rival assassins. MovieWeb says: The film will center on Van Damme and Jones, who will portray rival hitmen who must band together. Van Damme will portray an expert … [Read More]
If you make a Vin Deisel film, you can’t sequel it without Vin Diesel. Despite his shakey career and poor movie choices, it seems the only salvation left for Vin would be the franchises that made him popular. Every Diesel flick to sequel without him has been a flop, and … [Read More]
I have always been fascinated by the American Gladiators TV Show. Those average joe athlete wannabes facing off against carefully marketed beefy defenders and mostly feminine amazons. I think it plays more to my desire to play with those wonderful toys and giant nerf Q-Tips. But it is just a … [Read More]
It was with great joy that many people heard the news Brett Ratner was officially off as director of the new Conan movie. This let a void in the director’s chair. Who would step in and direct the mighty worshiper of Crom? The first name added to the list was … [Read More]
There are some movie ideas where you think to yourself “man, it would probably be bad, but I’d love to see it 10 times if they ever made it”. Another He-Man would be one of those projects for me. For ages there was word about another He-Man movie with John … [Read More]
I’m not all that pumped about the upcoming “Thor” movie. I’ll admit I was never taken with him much as a comic book character and I don’t have much hope for seeing a screen adaptation. HOWEVER… keep in mind that I had the exact same feelings when it was announced … [Read More]
