I was enthusiastic when they announced a “Ghost in the Shell” live-action movie, but now, I’m not so sure. Is there even any real reason to remake Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 cyberpunk masterpiece “Ghost in the Shell”? It was perfect. Then you add in the constraints of live-action,...

The New Avatar Trailer Arrives: Do You Still Care?

All that buzz, all that Comic Con gushing, it all went away when the first trailer for James Cameron’s “Avatar” landed online three months ago with quite possibly the biggest THUD in modern cinema. Let’s face it, it was kind of underwhelming. It was overly cartoony and obviously...

Not Everything Obliterated In 2012 Is Digital

Watching the trailers for Roland Emmerich’s Disaster Porn epic, “2012″, it appears that separate from the films potential quality, the special effects look freaktastic and wonderfully over the top. Not all the wreckage and ruin dished out in “2012″ is via CGI. Some of the...

The Death of Dollhouse? FOX Doesn’t Appear Optimistic.

Love it or hate it, any show that allows the gorgeous Eliza Dushku to parade around onscreen acting like a slut in service of “story” is a-okay in my book. But apparently not so much for most Americans, because Whedon’s “Dollhouse” continues to struggle in the overnight...

So, I’ve never heard of Darrin Dickerson, but according to IMDB.com, he’s been around for a while making short films. His feature-length debut is “D4″, and he’s not just the writer/director, but also the star. That sounds like a tad much for a first-time director to have...

It’s just another month before we get to see just how awesome and awesomely depressing the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s novel “The Road” is going to be. I’m going in steely eyed and will have a copy of “Raising Arizona” (funniest movie ever made) on the dvd,...

Is Another Starwars Trilogy, This Time In 3D, Headed For Earth?

It’s just a matter of time before we see more “Star Wars” movies. Let’s face it. “Star Wars” is as popular as ever and other than the last movie of the recent trilogy, George Lucas’s recent efforts have been iffy to say the least. But will we see this new 3D...
