I'm not going to pretend I know what the hell is going on in the trailer for The Power of Few. What I do know is that it has a few recognizable faces, such as Christopher Walken, Christian Slater, Anthony Anderson, and Moon Bloodgood in some sort of multi-perspective crime caper. I don't even know…

The story of a guy trying hard to get laid for the first time has been told and told again in many an R-rated comedy, but Ben Lewin's The Sessions isn't American Pie or even The 40-Year-Old Virgin. Instead, it's a truth-based drama that's garnering serious Oscar buzz for its star, John Hawkes. The Martha Marcy May…

The title The Surrogate, to me, immediately calls up impressions of a horror film or thriller, but the movie that has had John Hawkes attached is something else entirely. An emotional thriller, perhaps. The Surrogate is based on a true story and will feature the actor as "Mark O'Brien, a paraplegic polio victim who lived…

I've flown direct from CinemaCon in Las Vegas to WonderCon in San Francisco. The first day presented two interesting panels, one for the Steven Spielberg-produced alien invasion television series Falling Skies and the other for Warner Bros' big screen comic adaptation Green Lantern. Read the details and my thoughts after the jump. Falling Skies: The first clip…

The alien invasion TNT show is slated for a two-hour premiere on Sunday, June 19 at 9/8c, and the network has steadily been releasing promos over the last few months. The…

We've seen two trailers for Faster, the action/revenge film starring Dwayne Johnson. One was a teaser and the other a red-band that many people complained showed way too much. (I didn't watch it, but since I haven't yet seen the film I couldn't vouch for that accusation.) This is the first proper theatrical trailer, however,…
Read MoreCBS Films has released a new Red Band movie trailer from their upcoming action film Faster. The George Tillman Jr.-directed revenge thriller stars Dwayne Johnson as "an ex-con pursued by cops and killers as he sets out to avenge his brother's death." Looks like your typical revenge action thriller, but I enjoy The Rock when…
Read MoreEarlier today, I was floored by the footage of Frank Darabont's television adaptation of the Walking Dead. Unfortunately, I wish the same could be said of what I've seen of the Steven Spielberg-produced Falling Skies for TNT. The show -- created by Robert Rodat (screenwriter for Saving Private Ryan, and The Patriot) -- stars TNT-regular…

CBS Films hasn't exactly been setting theaters on fire; the company has released Extraordinary Measures and The Back-Up Plan. The company is going for a much more action-oriented appeal with Faster, which stars Dwayne Johnson as a guy out for revenge after being released from prison. The first teaser for Faster is out now, but…

First up, Moon Bloodgood has a new role in Faster, the George Tillman Jr.-directed revenge drama starring Dwayne Johnson. She'll play Johnson's girlfriend; Johnson is "an ex-con…

That man McG seems to change his story an awful lot. I can't even unravel all of the threads of argument about the rating for Terminator Salvation (something... about... pizza?) but I do recall that, at various times, it was either fully intentional or fully unintentional that Moon Bloodgood's infamous breast-baring not be part of…

Director McG tells SciFi that he only cut one shot in Terminator Salvation to earn the PG-13 rating. The quick cut involved featuring Sam Worthington's character Marcus "stabbing a screwdriver through the shoulder" of a thug. You might be wondering, what about that much talked about topless scene featuring Moon Bloodgood? McG claims that in…

Warner Bros has begun airing two new television spots from Terminator Salvation, one of which features Christian Bale as John Connor, speaking the infamous phrase "I'll Be Back." Before you groan, in context it's not nearly as cheesy as it sounds. And hey, we've already seen a young Kyle Reese (Anton Yelchin) say "Come with…

It seems like all of the big tentpole films now-a-days have a tie in with a pizza delivery company. McG's Terminator Salvation has a tie-in with Pizza Hut, but that's not the big news. The news comes from the fine print at the bottom of Pizza Hut's Termiantor Salvation website. If you look next to…

When production first began on Terminator Salvation, rumors began to circulate that Warner Bros wanted the film to be PG-13. At Comic-Con last year, McG assured fans in attendance that he is under no pressure to deliver a PG-13 rating. Referring to the studio executives for this film, McG explained “I’ve been given their blessing…

On July 2nd, 2008, I was lucky enough to visit the set of McG's Terminator Salvation. Is this James Cameron's Terminator? No. And it isn't trying to be. Terminator Salvation is very different animal, far different from the traditional Terminator chase story. In a sense it is a futuristic war film. When I think of…

Warner Bros sent out a press release announcing the start of production on Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins (wait, didn't they decide to change the title a while back? I'm confused...) And yes, this press release is a tad bit late, considering the film began lensing in Albuquerque, New Mexico almost two and a half…

Here's the gist: Arnold Schwarzenegger says that if Terminator 4 director McG wishes to bring his big budget sequel to the state of California for a few scenes, he'll reprise his role as the T-800, albeit most likely in cameo form. Also, I'm guessing a big bag of cash, cigars, speedboats et al would play…
Read MoreGood news for Terminator fans: First it was confirmed earlier this weekend that The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been renewed for a second season. Second, the rumor from last week that Terminator 4 had been shut down has turned out to be untrue after all. And now THR reports that Moon Bloodgood is in final…
