First Look at Eminem in Funny People

News Chat - by Rodney - July 3, 2009 - 10:37 America/Montreal - 20 Comments

Eminem has a cameo appearance in Adam Sandler’s Funny People and we have our first look at his meeting with Sandler’s character.

Now this is the appropriate use of a non-actor in a film. I am not opposed to having these “non actors” be in movies, I just don’t think they should be burdened with carrying [...]

Deadpool Told me he is Breaking the Fourth Wall

News Chat - by Rodney - July 3, 2009 - 09:45 America/Montreal - 21 Comments

The best part of X-Men Origins Origins for me was Wade Wilson. Notice I didn’t say Deadpool. WADE WILSON!!
Ryan Reynolds hit that so hard that the comic book character got a bruise. And now that he seems to be beind the whold direction of the Deadpool spinoff movie, we hear [...]

News Chat - by Rodney - July 3, 2009 - 08:59 America/Montreal - 8 Comments

I am really starting to look forward to A Couple of Dicks. Even in spite of Tracey Morgan (who is growing on me as I have fallen in love with 30Rock at the recommendation of our commenters) the rest of the cast is shaping up to be great, and I am really curious about [...]

Gerard Butler To Return For 300 Sequel?

News Chat - by John - July 3, 2009 - 02:00 America/Montreal - 27 Comments

There’s just no getting around it. 300 kicked all sort of formidable ass. The movie was not only a beautiful and faithful translation from the printed page of Frank Miller’s brilliant graphic novel, but it was also breathtaking to look at, listen too and feel.
Now as most of you know (SPOILER for the [...]

As some of you may recall, the other day put up a post letting you guys know that I was contacted by a PR person who informed me that the new movie “I Love You Beth Cooper” was NOT going to have press screenings. I basically said (correctly so) that not screening a film [...]

Holy Crap Dakota Fanning Has Grown Up!

News Chat - by John - July 2, 2009 - 15:23 America/Montreal - 19 Comments

Good freaking grief. I had to do a serious double take when I first saw this picture. It’s a shot of Kristen Stewart & Dakota Fanning in their new upcoming movie The Runaways.
The biopic of the 70’s all girl rock band “The Runaways” is ramping up to production and appears to have rounded [...]

Surrogates Poster Online

News Chat - by Rodney - July 2, 2009 - 14:22 America/Montreal - 12 Comments

The poster for Bruce Willis’ Surrogates has hit the net.
I really like seeing Bruce in this kind of thing. The very premise of the movie (Everyone lives at home controlling a robot replacement of themselves in the real world) just means that Bruce can indiscriminately “kill” people as he would just be damaging their [...]

Robert Pattinson back in Harry Potter?

News Chat - by Rodney - July 2, 2009 - 13:54 America/Montreal - 8 Comments

With the uberpopularity of Twilight and the dreamy freak show that is Robert Pattinson, it appears that he will be reprising his role in Harry Potter as they re-write the last movie to explain away his death scene from the 4th film to bring Cedric Diggory back from the dead.

Either that or a bunch of [...]

New Planet 51 Trailer Online

News Chat - by Rodney - July 2, 2009 - 12:59 America/Montreal - 9 Comments

Planet 51 looks like a fun little movie with some great twist on the alien visitor genre.
But I would expect nothing less from Dreamworks. What? What’s a Ilion? Studio? Really? This quality from something that isn’t Pixar or Dreamworks? Colour me impressed! Check it out:
The trailer doesn’t show [...]

New Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs Trailer

News Chat - by John - July 2, 2009 - 09:36 America/Montreal - 8 Comments

Ok, everyone who has been around The Movie Blog for any length of time knows that I generally don’t dig many animated films that aren’t produced by Pixar (which is the best movie studio, animated or otherwise, in the entire business). Yes, once in a while a non-Pixar movie like “Bolt” will come out… [...]

Asteroids The Movie

Asteroirds.jpg

Ok, well all know that video game movies suck… and suck hard (I have the slightest glimmer of hope that the upcoming Prince of Persia MIGHT break the trend… but I’m not holding my breath). My basic argument as to WHY they all suck, is that games are not built for narrative storytelling. [...]
