During this week's episode of the Totally Rad Show, Alex Albrecht theorized that one of the many reasons Terminator Salvation didn't work for him was because he believes that the concept of machines or technology rising up against humanity has been done so many times before, that it is no longer valid (I've included an…
Read MoreIn my weekly Blu-or-Not column, I made mention of the alternative ending which was included on the Eagle Eye DVD/Blu-ray. If you didn't think the movie was already insanely convoluted and ridiculous, the ending is sure to push you over the edge. I can't believe that they were actually ever considering showing this on the…

This weekend saw a boatload of new theatrical releases, including Spike Lee's Miracle at St. Anna, Clark Gregg's Choke, and Nights in Rodanthe (from the mind of the same author that brought you the saccharine-filled The Notebook), among many others. It seemed as though there was something for everyone, from history buffs to Palahniuk fans…

Ole Bornedal's Just Another Love Story is what I imagine While You Were Sleeping would've be like if Guillermo del Toro had remade the Sandra Bullock romantic comedy as a dark dramatic thriller. Anders W. Berthelsen stars as Jonas, a forensics photographer who is involved in a traffic accident that sends a young woman into…

I have a bit of good news for those of you who were angry that Michael Bay's Transformers lacked a coherent story. The sequel will have an extensive narrative, all of which takes place off screen in a series of prequel comic books. Of course I'm kidding... or am I? SplashPage's preview of IDW Publishing's…

DreamWorks has released a new movie poster for Eagle Eye, too bad it’s not nearly as interesting as the two released movie trailers. I really have a feeling that this film will be a lot of fun. The new one sheet is somewhat reminiscent of the poster for Enemy of the State (seen also below),…

Paramount/DreamWorks just released a new theatrical trailer for Eagle Eye, which I’m guessing must be attached to prints of Wanted (which hits theaters this Friday). The new D.J. Caruso-directed fast-paced race-against-time-thriller which stars Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan as “two strangers who become the pawns of a mysterious woman they have never met, but who…

I'm not sure if you've heard this yet, but Steven Spielberg had this idea which is the basis for Shia LaBeouf's next film. NO, I'm not talking about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (that was clearly George's idea). I'm talking about Eagle Eye, the first original story Hollywood has seen from…

Eagle Eye was a hot property from day one, originating as an idea/story from legendary director Steven Spielberg. Directed by D.J. Caruso, re-teaming with Disturbia star Shia LaBeouf (Transformers), and set for a much coveted early August release date. But something has happened... Maybe the film is running behind schedule. Or quite possibly, maybe they…
