A few years ago a movie was made by Oren Peli called Paranormal Activity, sort of like The Blair Witch Project sans the trees and the witch. The movie follows a couple living in San Diego who buy some video equipment to film the spooks and specters they believe are haunting their house. Obviously not a smart move because, really, who in the hell wants to know what kind of mysterious shenanigans are happening whilst they sleep? Not me. DreamWorks bought Peli’s …

This is such a non-story I almost didn’t publish this post, but hey, who doesn’t love Indiana Jones, right? Even after George Lucas and Steven Spielberg took a big dump on the Indy franchise with Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, I still get a little giddy when thinking of more Indy adventures. So, here is exactly what Harrison Ford said about the likelihood of Indiana Jones V: The story for the new Indiana Jones is in …
Apparently Michael Bay and everybody that worked on Transformers and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Some angry crew penned this letter in defense of Bay after Fox said Michael Bay’s directorial style is akin to that of Hitler. I won’t say anymore, but here’s the full text of the letter (thanks to www.thesuperficial.com): This is an open letter to all Michael Bay fans. We are three crew members that have worked with Michael for the past ten years. Last week …
The MTV Video Music Awards were televised yesterday, and, as always, the ceremony was quite the self-congratulatory spectacle and bastion of controversy, with the douchebaggery highlight of the evening going to Kanye West, as he confirmed to the world that he is an egocentric, dim-witted, poor-mannered loser when he upstaged Taylor Swift’s Best Female Video winner’s speech. Thankfully, West was booed out of the auditorium and received a glut of negative Tweets about his unsportsmanlike behavior, the best of which …
The Hurt Locker, arguably the best film of the year, comes to the Logan Art Cinema this Friday. This is a must-see movie and I’d bet the response and traffic will be so large the head honchos at the Westates move The Hurt Locker to Movies 5 or University Stadium 6. The Logan Art Cinema is located at 785 North Main, directly west from Smith’s Marketplace. Showtime is 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM. I highly encourage you to catch this …
A new image from The Twilight Saga: New Moon hit the web today and it gets a hearty double meh from me, but probably three cartwheels and some gibbley-infested underpants from the Twihards. What does this image show or tell us? Absolutely nothing and yet everything. I don’t know about you, but I’m basking in the pasty furriness that is Edward’s (Robert Pattinson) face and the stoic, ganja-induced haze over Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) countenance. This is probably a scene in …
This March, to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope, IMAX and IMAX 3D theaters will present Hubble 3D to audiences in select IMAX cities. The movie chronicles last May’s Space Shuttle mission to repair and service the telescope, and also presents “breathtaking” imagery of distant stars, solar systems and all kinds of interstellar shenanigans. The film’s director, Toni Meyers, said this: “We have waited a long time to get the IMAX camera back into space and …
Aaaaand I’m one of them. I don’t have much to say, beyond once again, we have a live action commercial showing why Halo would make, at the very least, a fantastic war movie. As a commercial for the upcoming expansion to Halo 3: ODST, this trailer is nothing less than a quick shot of adrenaline. I don’t have much more to say than Andy’s said here and here, but I’ll be watching this in HD over and over and over …
Wow, December of 2010 is shaping up, at least to this film fan, to be a real slice of stink. So far the lineup for 12/10 includes The Smurfs, Yogi Bear and The Green Hornet. I don’t know about you, but that sounds like two potential rivals to the suck created by Alvin and The Chipmunks, and a Seth Rogan movie that willl most likely go down in flames. Sorry to be Debbie Downer, but I get no sense of …
I could definitely find a place for Bad Boys and Bad Boys II in the Showcase of Shame, especially given the flicks’ Rotten Tomatoes 42 and 23 percent stinktastic rankings, but that’s another post. This post is about Columbia Pictures hiring Sally Field’s son, Peter Craig, to pen the screenplay for Bad Boys III, with the studio crossing its fingers that Michael Bay, Will Smith and Martin Lawrence will once again join forces. Smith and Lawrence are locks for a …
