Posted on June 19, 2015 by | Leave a comment

Pixar’s shorts have a long history– even longer than their features, actually. And with the release of Brave comes the release of La Luna, the twenty or thirty-somethingth short film from the animation studio, depending on what you consider canon. There are the theatrical shorts and home entertainment shorts, as well as the series of Cars Toons and Toy Story Toons.

Post-Credit Scenes Aren’t All Bad

Posted on May 31, 2014 by | Leave a comment

Once again, the issue being debated has been broken down into two sides; those for post-credit scenes and those against post-credit scenes. I’m actually going to take the middle-ground even if that makes me look flip-floppy or weak or who cares. So what exactly is my middling position?  Some post-credit scenes are great, some are meh and some are terrible. Just like movies.

The Dardenne brothers, Luc and Jean-Pierre, have been making award-winning films in Belgium for a few decades, however, they haven’t really managed to make their presence felt in North America outside the shelves of dedicated cinephiles. The two time Palme d’Or-winning duo did receive their second Independent Spirit Award nomination last year for The Kid with the Bike but it’s past time the pair received an invite to the Academy Awards. Only to direct more people to their work.

Beardface Says “You Have To Bite It,” Benedict Cumberbatch Joins Twelve Years A Slave

Posted on June 1, 2012 by | Leave a comment

Twelve Years a Slave boasts one of the most impressive casts of any upcoming feature and Steve McQueen seems content adding even more big names. Or big names are just happy to join the acclaimed director’s third film. Either way, Benedict Cumberbatch is the newest star to board the adaptation that already features Michael Fassbender (McQueen’s Hunger and Shame muse), Chiwetel Ejiofor and Brad Pitt.

Hey! Some good news for a change. It’s possible that we’ll not have to see Bradley Cooper in black and white face paint pretending he knows how to fight. Like ’em or lump ’em, the Weinsteins are fighting back, so says Movie Line.

Michael Mann Likes Haggis and Gold

Posted on April 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

A little diddy of a news tidbit concerning Mr. Mann and a Paul, a Paul named Haggis. Collider.com via Heat Vision reports that Mann is set to direct Gold and Haggy to produce. Rumor also has it, as rumors often do, that Leo DiCaprio is reading the script as we speak, or as I write this, or as you read this. It’s probably a cock-tease, but consider me teased!

Super(man) Sundays for DC’s Man of Steel

Posted on April 11, 2011 by | 1 comment

There is little doubt that DC has some catching up to do… Sure, they rocked out the two BEST comic-book film adaptations of all-time with Christopher Nolan’s Batman Begins and The Dark Knight AND they’ve got Green Lantern glowing on the near horizon (with almost super-star Ryan Reynolds) BUT as far as production goes they pale in comparison to their nemesis Marvel.

What's "I'll be Back" in Korean?

What the what? Kim Ji-Woon and Arnold Schwarzenegger teaming up The Last Stand, a film that is equal parts Die Hard and High Noon? I think, on the whole, this could be extremely exciting. Continue reading →
