  • Live Free Or Die Hard Scores $9.1 Million Opening Day

      Live Free or Die Hard made an estimated $9.1 million on Wednesday, according to 20th Century Fox. Obviously, this number comes no where near the Wednesday Opening Day Record set by Spider-Man 2 ($40.4 million). Fox considers this a good number. Most people were projecting $8-$10 million. So it's good but not great. You…

  • John Lasseter Saves Disney From Direct-To-DVD Sequels

    We've written at length about our dislike for the horrible direct to dvd sequels which seem to becoming more prevalent.

  • Movie Review: Sicko Is A MUST SEE

      I've always thought that Michael Moore doesn't get the credit he deserves. People complain that his films aren't documentaries because they only show one side of the story. These same people watch a film like Super Size Me or, well, see that's the problem. There aren't that many documentaries that are overtly accessible to…

  • Hot Rod Movie Poster Revealed

    Check out the new movie poster for the Andy Samberg comedy Hot Rod, thanks to our friends at FirstShowing. The previously released teaser trailer didn't quite impress me. Although I must admit, Samberg's digital shorts are the only reason (if there is a reason) to watch Saturday Night Live these days (but in the days…

  • Kevin Smith Talks: Awkward MTV Movie Award/Advertisement

    One of the oddest things on last nights MTV Movie Awards was Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes accepting the "Dirtiest Mouth Award". Normally Smith and crew accepting an award for foul language would be a normal thing, but it was far from normal. It was essentially an advertisement for Orbits gum. I tried to find…

  • Clint Mansell's Smokin Aces Scores A Release

    Clint Mansell has undoubtedly created the best music score in Hollywood history. And I'm talking Requiem For a Dream. You might have not seen the movie, but you sure as hell have heard the music, which has been ripped off for commercials and many movie trailers (including one of the Lord of the Rings films…

  • Transformers To Hold Special Nationwide Screenings On July 2nd

    Nothing says a July 4th release date like July 2nd. Not only will Transformers hit theaters a day earlier nationwide, but Michael Bay has just announced that the film will also have night screenings in select markets the night before that (July 2nd). We assume much like the recent Shrek the Third and Spider-Man ,…

Now Bruce Willis is saying that he is interested in returning for a fifth…

And no, I'm not just talking about comedies. It's the best reviewed wide release PERIOD. At the time of this posting,…

  • The Chronicles Of Narnia: Prince Caspian Plot Synopsis Revealed

    Yes, it is a slow news day. Disney has sent us the official plot synopsis for the second Chronicles Of Narnia movie.

  • Video Footage: On The Set Of Iron Man

    MTV not only scored an Iron Man set visit, but they've come back with three videos which may be worth checking out. Usually video cameras (and still cameras) are barred from Hollywood set visits, so I was shocked to find that MTV not only snuck one it, but captured some awesome footage of them filming…

  • The Brave One Movie Trailer

    Warner Bros has released the trailer for Neil Jordan's The Brave One, starring Jodie Foster as a woman who recovers from  a brutal attack by setting out on a mission for revenge.

  • On The Lot: Eli Roth And Mark Waters To Be Guest Judges?

    I think I'm one of the only people still watching Fox's filmmaking reality show On The Lot. And I'm not quite sure why I'm still watching, they've done everything they can to make it an unenjoyable experience. And last week the Marty Martin, the most gifted filmmaker of the bunch was voted off because the…

    You know you're getting old when you run around franticly reporting the death of one of your childhood heroes, and half the people say "Mr. Who?" Don Herbert, who played Mr. Wizard on the popular 1980's Nickelodeon television show Mr. Wizard's World, died on Tuesday from bone cancer. He was 89. You made us believe…

  • The Sopranos: Series Finale - What Did You Think?

    I just got done watching The Sopranos series finale. I don't want to write a complete rundown/review of the episode, that is for others to do. Did some of the characters meet their untimely death? Of course. But I think most people (including myself) are shocked at the final scene, which just ended with a…

  • Brett Ratner Leaves On The Lot: Did He Get FIRED Or Did He RUN AWAY?

    Okay, so Steven Speilberg's new filmmaking reality tv show isn't doing so well. And that's unfortunate because it's such a great idea but so badly executed. The ratings are hugely disappointing, the show is uninteresting at best, and now the two night "event" is being slimmed down to a one night show. It also doesn't…
