The Tom Hanks film "The Da Vinci Code" is a prime example of why movies based on other source material needs to be adapted, and just "sticking to the original" isn't always a good idea. In my opinion...
It's been a long time since i wrote anything about the upcoming Nicolas Cage movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". I think the last time I wrote anything about it was back in 2007 when the project was f...
I like Jessica Biel. I don't think she's a "great" actress, but she's certainly serviceable and much better than some of the crap that's out there being passed off as acting today (ahem... Jessica Al...
It has been a growing, sad trend in horror movies for the last few years. "Horror" movies that soften themselves up so much to the point they lose their edge for the sake of getting a PG-13 rating so...
The Toy Story movies are immortal. I'll never forget the first time I saw Toy Story 1. It was in Welland Ontario as the Seaway mall with my good friend Jeff Lavallee and some cute chick who was doub...
I have a Love/Hate relationship with Peter Jackson. On the one hand, I really hated how he handled the whole Halo PR stuff and a few other things... I also thought he dropped the ball a bit with King...
The Robin Hood story is one of the all time classic tales. I think the reason for that is that the themes transcend time periods and cultures. The concept of someone seeking social justice, giving ot...
Ok, so I still have very little hope that Wolverine is going to be any good... but I've got to admit that I'm excited about seeing it (what can I say, I'm a comic book movie freak). And so, I was cur...
I have always found monster/slasher/killer movies to be scarier when you don't see the killer. Obscured figures, suggestive shadows and noises build the suspense. These are the hallmarks of true hor...
We talked a day or two ago about the new Cartoon Network mini episodes for G.I. Joe Resolute. Seems this new Joe series will be a number of short 5 minute episodes shown during Cartoon Network's ...
Thanks for checking out our State of Play review. If you'd like to see a video version of our State of Play review you can view it at the bottom of the written review. I never make any secret about it...
Ok, I admit that I am a Transformers geek of the highest level. I love the Transformers and despite it's weaknesses I absolutely loves the first movie (not the animated one). Yes, I have my reservat...
Thanks for checking out our Crank 2 review (yeah, we know it's officially called Crank: High Voltage, but we all know it's Crank 2). If you'd like to check out our Crank 2 review video, you can see i...
There has been a lot of negative buzz surrounding the upcoming Wolverine movie. Rumors that studio execs didn't like what they were seeing as the movie was shooting, an over sized character list, the...
I've been interested in the new film Armored ever since I first heard about it last year. It has a terrific cast (with great names like Matt Dillon, Laurence Fishburne, Jean Reno, Fred Ward and Milo...
Stephen Dorff is one of those names most movie fans have heard of... but can't quite picture his face or tell what he's been in. For those who can picture him, they probably think of Blade where he p...
Adaptations are hardly new to Hollywood, and a lot of great stories come from adapting other mediums to the big screen. I would love to see the numbers just to see how many movies are adaptations of ...
The latest Trailer for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has found its way online. I imagine in the next 3 months before this movie finally gets released there will be so many trailers and...
There is a little popularity contest going on between Hollywoods favourite slacker Ashton Kutcher and megagiant news network mogul Ted Turner. See, Kutcher thinks he can generate more people followin...
G.I. Joe is about to grow up into a more mature adult series. No I am not talking about some trashy porno with Destro getting it on with Lady Jaye called G.I. Hoe. I am refering to the new G.I. Joe:...
As a special feature on American Idol, the network decided this was the prefect demographic to treat to a special behind the scenes mini feature on Tarantino's violence extravaganza Inglorius Basterds...
A trailer for The Hurt Locker has hit the net. Comingsoon calls it: In the film, new sergeant James takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict. He surprises his two subo...
When you think about it, The Green Lantern is sort of like The Greatest American Hero. Seriously... a seemingly unassuming but good individual encounters an alien item that bestows god like power on ...
There is something unique about the Batman character and mythology that lends itself to a ton of different story telling mediums... even interactive story telling mediums. It doesn't hurt that Batman...
The Hollywood walk of fame has become a cheap sideshow that has little to no value anymore since they give just about anyone and everyone who's ever had more than 3 minutes of fame. For my money, the...
Woody Allen is no stranger to scandal, but in this latest conflict I have to say I side with Allen. American Apparel Inc used Woody Allen's image in a billboard ad without his permission, and afte...
There has been a lot of talk about copyright violation around these parts lately and no one knows how to rip of something that isn't theirs like the Turks. No, not all Turks, specifically I am talkin...
I think I must have said Rob Liefeld's name three times, because the antichrist of the comic book world has come out of the woodwork to comment on the popular character he is credited for creating - D...
There is something very likable about Eli Roth. He seems like the type of dude I'd totally like to hang out with to watch a Football game or something like that. That being said, I'm not exactly a h...
In any of its incarnations, be it one of the screen versions or the stage, Little Shop of Horrors has always been one of those delightful little stories that I've loved. Sure the Roger Corman one is ...
The ever on going battle between Hollywood and movie piracy seems to be a losing battle. The movie industry seems hell bent on just telling people not to pirate, instead of adjusting their model to m...
Brian Austin Green is throwing his name in the hat for the role of Green Lantern, and despite nothing yet in the works, he is throwing his name out to the people that are more likely to get him the gi...
X-Men First Class borrows its title from the X-Men comic book of the same name, and now news surfaces that the next generation of Xavier's students which this movie was supposed to be about will not b...
Chris Pine is taking this whole "Boldly go" stuff right to the limit. In an attempt to attach himself to more films than Matt Damon was ever rumoured to be considered for, Chris Pine is not happy...
Role Models' writer Timothy Dowling has put together a spec script that has the net a buzz with a Goonies sequel, but this won't be that movie. The script titled Treehouse Gang has similarities to wh...
Three new cast members have been added to the Forgetting Sarah Marshall spinoff Get Him to the Greek. Elisabeth Moss, Rose Byrne and Sean Combs will be adding to the supporting cast that already in...
The original Crank was an insanely guilty pleasure of mine. The film knew exactly what it was and it made no apologies for it. No, it certainly wasn't for everyone, but its reckless, balls-to-the-wa...
It's one of more publicized leaks of the past year. As you all know by now an unfinished copy of the new X-Men Origins: Wolverine made its way onto the web and was summarily downloaded hundreds of th...
Richard Jenkins has been one of my favorite character actors for years, and I've been thrilled the last couple of years finally seeing him begin to get the credit his talent deserves. He can do just ...
Great was the anger released by Harry Potter fans around the world when it was announced that Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince wasn't going to be released until 2009 when it was originally suppo...
