Film is Pwn

Apparently, they will remake anything.  Exhibit 3213-A, the forthcoming Toxic Avenger remake.  But how can you do a film with better productions values than the original?  See for yourself: (more…)

The best of all bad movie worlds – A SyFy Channel Original and a Production from our favorite movie studio, the Asylum.  Mega Piranha debuts Saturday at 9 o’clock Eastern Standard Time.  Be there!

Chris Evans, one of my least favorite actors (see Fantastic Four, Push, or Sunshine for reasons why) has officially been cast in the forthcoming, big-screen adaptation of comic book hero Captain America.  In a word: Ugh.  Of course, it cannot be worse than any of the previous attempts to put Captain America on screen, can it?  Well . . . . . . see for yourself.

The Expendables is Summer’s action movie with the surplus of action movie stars who had to carpool to the studio and ended up in the same picture. The cast includes (including cameos): Sylvester Stallone, Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jet Li, Jason Statham, Dolph Lundgren, Danny Trejo, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Eric Roberts, “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, Charisma Carpenter, the late Brittany Murphy, David Zayas and Amin Joseph.

Those who do not remember cinema’s past are doomed to repeat it.  According to this very entertaining article, doomed we are indeed.  I weep for the screenwriter penning an daring, bold, and fresh story never before placed on screen previously.  In the meantime, Flash Gordon, Dune, Short Circuit, Teen Wolf, The Creature From the Black Lagoon, The Monster Squad, Police Academy, and Ghostbusters are all coming back, like it or not.

For lovers of cheesy low-budget flicks, the SyFy Channel is debuting Dinoshark tonight at 9 pm Eastern.  Trailer below: (more…)

Check it out here.  Looks pretty doggone cool

I know a lot of folks don’t care about Tom Cruise because . . . well, you know, the craziness thing, but I really liked number three guided by J.J. Abrams (Alias, Lost, Star Trek [2009]).  And it looks like J.J. is back for # 4, yes, with Cruise.  Abrams says: “We have a really cool idea that we’re playing with and I’m looking forward to that coming to pass  . . . [T]here definitely will be a European presence but there’s a whole crazy story, it’s definitely a jet setting movie.”  Sweet!
