J.J. Abrams sounds like one of those amazingly talented guys. He’s running with Alias, Lost and MI:3 right now, and that doesn’t cover his upcoming projects: The Catch, a bounty-hunter comedy/drama starring Grunberg and Don Rickles. Pros and Cons, a drama about con artists working for the feds. What About … [Read More]
Another childhood series is making its way to the big screen. The TV adaptation of The Tripods was something I watched with glee and much unease when I was a kid, it was a series that really did hit me as one of the first programs to play around with … [Read More]
I haven’t heard anything about this movie until now, and the write up from JoBlo sounds very intriguing: It’s something like a guy is arrested for the murder of a cop and sentenced to a mental hospital where a doctor gives him a radical new treatment. That includes being injected … [Read More]
In a time when we’re besieged by Comic and Graphic Novel (see, I made the distinction for all you fans out there) movie adaptations that are often below standard, or just cash cows, it’s extremely heartening to see an adaptation that not only comes from excellent stock but is getting … [Read More]

However, things appear to be changing according to this story … [Read More]
Ok here’s the deal. I’m actually a Ben Affleck fan. A number of his movies have been just horrible (but you can’t really blame the actors for that) and he’s been in he headlines for all the wrong reasons, but I still think the man is a fine actor and … [Read More]
Every once in a while a story idea catches my attention. The plot for the upcoming Civic Duty is one of those. Apparently Mira Sorvina (damn fine actress who has been in a major slump), and Joseph Fiennes (just an awesome actor) are in talks to take the lead roles. … [Read More]
It seems like the powers that be have decided to give the first peek of the Fantastic Four on January 14th as the trailer will run in front of Elektra. From what I understand the trailer was originally going to run in front of Fat Albert, but it got bumped … [Read More]
