“Prometheus” is a science fiction action thriller film by Ridley Scott – you know, the guy who did “Blade Runner” and “Alien.” In addition, this new flick was originally envisioned as a kind of prequel to “Alien,” and remains some type of not fully explained spiritual successor to the 1979 classic. For most film fans,…

Article: John C. Reilly’s “Wreck-It-Ralph” to feature classic video game cameos
The 1988 flick “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” was great for a lot of reasons, but one of the most impressive parts was how cartoon personalities from numerous different studios showed up in the Disney produced flick. Similarly, Disney’s new video game-focused “Wreck-It Ralph” is set to feature animated cameos from a number of different classic…

Article: Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” full plot synopsis released
Yesterday we showed off the teaser poster for “Django Unchained,” but while it’s a stark, expressive piece, it doesn’t really tell us anything new about Quentin Tarantino’s newest film. Thankfully, with the release of a full synopsis today, we now have a lot more plot details about the director’s southern revenge flick. While versions of…

Article: Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” teaser poster revealed
In a year full of absolutely huge, heavily-hyped movies, “Django Unchained” is in the running for most anticipated – especially in the non-superhero division. Though we’ve been hearing about it for ages and even caught glimpses of writer/director Quentin Tarantino’s handwritten cover to the script, we still haven’t seen much of the revenge flick.

Filming is currently underway on “Skyfall,” the twenty-third James Bond flick, starring Daniel Craig in his third outing as the iconic spy, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem and others.

People have just barely started to quiet down regarding Michael Bay’s “Ninja Turtles” movie, and the uproar regarding his omission of both the Teenage and Mutant aspects of the iconic Heroes in a Half Shell.

Article: New “Battleship” clip rolls out the giant machines
It’s easy to joke about Peter Berg’s “Battleship” movie. Initially it was an easy target for ridicule due to being based on a particularly story-less boardgame and later because of the fact that aliens were grafted onto it. Now, courtesy of a new minute-and-a-half clip of the film, all those people who can’t just be…

Way back in the halcyon days of 2010, John Stalberg, Jr.’s feature length debut film, “High School” debuted at Sundance, where it garnered its fair share of giggles, chuckles and other praise. Now, after years of bogarting the film, Anchor Bay Entertainment is ready to puff-puff-pass the flick onto the general public, with a June…

After his win over John Cena at “WrestleMania XXVIII,” the next Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson thing we’re most excited about is his appearance in this summer’s “G.I. Joe: Retaliation.” But while the sequel’s cast includes heavy hitters like Johnson, Channing Tatum and Bruce Willis, the recently released Japanese trailer puts its largest focus on the…
Article: Rob Schneider joins Gale Anne Hurd’s “Teach Me How to Dance”
It looks like we might have to add Rob Schneider’s comedic chops to the list of things that Adam Sandler has been right about all along. Or at least, we might if Gale Anne Hurd has anything to say about it, as the “Walking Dead” producer is set to preside over the new Schneider-centric comedy,…
Article: Definite third Bond girl and possible character departure for “Skyfall”
“Skyfall” isn’t set to premiere in London until October of this year, but this week has seen a trickle of news come out regarding the twenty-third James Bond movie.

If you’ve been following “The Avengers” news even semi-vigilantly since last year, chances are you’ve seen a fair bit of the film. Between clandestine iPhone photos and videos of the set and filming, magazine spreads, full Nine Inch Nails-heavy trailers, character posters, Japanese trailers, set reports and officially released photos, there’s quite a bit of…
Article: Arnold Schwarzenegger talks about “Twins” sequel “Triplets” featuring Eddie Murphy
Last week we heard all about the shockingly-not-an-April-Fools-joke news that Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito would return for a sequel to their 1988 comedy “Twins.” The film, appropriately titled “Triplets,” would also star Eddie Murphy as a hilariously mismatched third brother. Now, via a just-released interview, we have confirmation of Schwarzenegger’s interest in the project,…

Article: Eddie Murphy to join Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito in “Twins” sequel
In 1988, the world laughed together at “Twins,” a film that built itself around the outrageously zany premise that two brothers could be not only totally different personality wise, but physically as well! Starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, the film was a commercial success if not an overwhelming critical one. Now, Universal and Montecito…
Article: Kevin Smith could bring “Clerks 3” to Broadway
Late last year, Kevin Smith announced his impending retirement from filmmaking, presumably to do touring shows, write comics, podcast and work on his reality show.
