Flick Face-Off: Tropic Thunder vs the Clone Wars

This is another one of those odd weeks. Normally, you’d think that this would be an easy win for a new Star Wars movie (okay, it will be), but this isn’t a regular Star Wars movie. And animation (unless it’s Pixar) always seems to make some people wary. Plus, I’ve heard [...]

Flick Face-Off: Pineapple Express vs Sisterhood of Traveling Pants 2

This is an odd one. Stoner action flick versus a rare chick flick sequel. And neither of them were released on Friday. Both opted for the Wednesday release, hoping for a little more time in the theaters before the new Star Wars movie hits screens. It used to be that [...]

Comic-Con ‘08: Twilight panel

I’m going to be the idiot geek here and confess that before I read the story in Entertainment Weekly, I had no idea what Twilight was. Sue me. I’m not a woman. But I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and sit through the Comic-Con Twilight panel to [...]

Flick Face-Off: Wall-E vs Wanted

For the weekend of 6/27/08 - What’s with all of the recent alliteration between Flick Face-Off contenders these past few weeks? Get Smart vs Love Guru, Hulk vs the Happening, and now Wall-E vs Wanted. Methinks someone planned this…
Anyway, this week will belong to Wall-E, easily. C’mon… it’s Pixar! [...]

Arrested Development Movie to Shoot in 2009

In case you haven’t heard, possibly the greatest television comedy of the 21st century is coming to a theater near you in 2009. Yes, I realize that Jason Bateman has been saying this since last year, pretty much anytime he’s in front of cameras touting a new project (this time while promoting the [...]

Flick Face-Off: Get Smart vs the Love Guru

For the weekend of 6/20/08 - Two big comedies going head to head on a summer weekend… this is something that most studios don’t dare try. Let’s just say it doesn’t bode well for the studios when moviegoers have to make a choice between 2 comedies. And as much as I love [...]

Flick Face-Off: Incredible Hulk vs the Happening

For the weekend of 6/13/08 -I have a pretty good feeling that this week will be easy to call. Just look at the picture. Who looks more scared to you? Of course, both of these movies are coming off past defeats. The last Hulk movie is widely reviled by fans [...]

Flick Face-Off: Kung Fu Panda vs Zohan

For the weekend of 6/6/08 - It’s a martial arts match up this week with Jack Black bringing the kung fu as an animated panda versus Adam Sandler’s Israeli martial artist/soldier/hairdresser comedy. While neither are likely to have Indiana Jones level openings, both should keep the box offices busy all weekend. The [...]

Batman vs Iron Man

The battle of the big blockbuster summer superhero movies boils down to this:

Can’t Stop the Serenity 2008

It’s that time of year again, when fans of Joss Whedon’s Serenity gather in darkened theaters across the country to raise money for Joss’ favorite charity, Equality Now!
Can’t Stop the Serenity, now in its 3rd year, is hosting 55 screenings of the fan favorite film from coast to coast.

Tropic Thunder Cast Goes “Viral”

At last night’s MTV Movie Awards, everyone was hawking their upcoming movies, and no one was hawking harder than Ben Stiller, Jack Black, and Robert Downey Jr. In an attempt to piggyback on the success of his co-stars’ summer blockbusters, director Ben Stiller decides to go “viral” with their marketing. Oddly enough, you [...]

Flick Face-Off: Indiana Jones IV vs Sex and the City

For the weekend of 5/30/08 - This weekend all about Indiana Jones facing off against his most dire foe yet… no, not the ravages of age… He’s facing off against a little movie called Sex and the City (which I hear has something to do with the adventures of three hookers and their mom). [...]

3 new HULK movie tv ads

3 new Incredible Hulk movie tv spots from IGN. This is starting to look better and better…

Gore Verbinski to Direct Bioshock Film

Considered possibly the biggest video game-to-movie deal in years, Universal Studios is making a film based on the Take Two award-winning game Bioshock, to be helmed by Pirates of the Caribbean director Gore Verbinski. John Logan (The Aviator) is in talks to write the screenplay. They are aiming for a late 2009, [...]
