I just saw a trailer for yet another ping pong movie, and then one for soccer, and I started thinking, I have seen movies based on lots of sports: all the aforementioned, golf, football, basketball, a few others, but never one for rugby. Oddly, the very next trailer I clicked at random on Apple’s Trailer [...]

We saw the new Harry Potter the other day during the midnight showing. Plenty of people dressed in uniforms and other costumes. However, this isn’t really a post on how a girl in a white dress shirt with a tie on can be hot, this is a quick movie review. There may be spoilers, so [...]

I talked a bit about J. J. Abram’s new movie the other day. Well, it turns out the Ethan Was Right/Wrong websites have nothing to do with the movie, per a letter from Abrams to Ain’t It Cool News. So I guess it isn’t a Cthulhu movie which is a bit of a bummer. (Of [...]
Michael Moore, one of the world’s biggest f*ckin idiots and big time socialist rolled into one, implied he was “banned” from having an interview on the floor of the stock exchange in order to talk about his new lie fest “Sicko.” What he left out, and he always leave the full truth out in everything [...]
Thank God we’ve never heard Michael Moore claim the sky is blue since we would know it turned blood red that day…
His latest lie fest, Sicko, premiered at the Canes Film Festival. The film is intended to show just how bad America’s health care is. Of course to do this, one has to ignore that [...]
I was watching The Big Lebowski, perhaps one of the funnies movies ever (abide, profanity filled, but still very funny). This was on cable TV so they had to cut some of the profanity out. When Walter (John Goodman), is smashing what he thinks is Larry Sellers car, he says in the cable version “You [...]

The new trailer for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5) is out, and it looks very exciting. Check it out at Yahoo! Movies. Order of the Phoenix may be one of my favorite books in the Harry Potter series, ahead of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6) which has [...]

Looks like it is an absolute must watch movie. Wow…

The trailer for Frank Miller’s 300 hit the web. It isn’t a high quality trailer, but it serves well enough to show how exciting it looks like it will be. Frank Miller is also the author of Sin City, another graphic novel that was turned into a equally visually impressive and entertaining movie. 300 shows [...]
Remember, remember the fifth of November,
the gunpowder, treason and plot,
I see of no reason why gunpowder treason
should ever be forgot.
A reminder, this Tuesday the excelent V for Vendetta comes out.
Coming out near John Lennon’s birthday will be The U.S. Vs John Lennon:
[gv data="yqiV0f3p3yI"][/gv]
(high quality trailer here)
The government had huge FBI and CIA files against Lennon, and those CIA files are still largely classified, more then 25 years after Lennon’s assassination.
I have to wonder if the film will cover the various conspiracy theories that [...]

The Fountain is one of those movies I’ll have to see in the theaters. The full, The Fountain trailer is out, and does contain spoilers about the movie, it perhaps may be best to stick with the teaser (also on that page).

You can view the first 24 minutes of A Scanner Darkly online.
Scanner Darkly uses interpolated rotoscoping, basically meaning that they filmed live actors on live sets, then placed animation over them, giving the film an unusual look.
The film takes place in the very near future (7 years) and stars Keanu Reeves, Woody Harrelson, Robert Downey [...]

The news out there is that the big three theater chains (AMC, Cinimark, and Regal) may raise $1 billion to convert 13,000 screens to digital projection (news). No word if that would be for the newer 4k projectors or not, one would hope.
The report says, “Theater owners plan to spend about $75,000 per screen to [...]

Okay, I didn’t make it to the movie theater for ages. I missed tons of movies that I wanted to see, but I’ll probably have to make it out for Superman Returns and Pirates of the Caribian… Reason enough to see Superman Returns would be to see the Spiderman 3 trailer on the big screen… [...]
The announcement that the original Star Wars trilogy would come out soon was dampered some by the fact that it isn’t going to be a good transfer, but the old Laser Disk transfer, meaning it won’t be anamorphic widescreen. Still, I’ll buy it just to see Han Shoot first… well shoot since Greedo didn’t shoot [...]
Who Killed the Electric Car is a new exciting movie coming out this summer. Not exciting in the action sense, but in the it is about time sense. Aside from the global warming fear mongering BS that they engage in on the site, and one would presume in the movie, it is a very well [...]
The original theatrical versions of Star Wars will be coming to DVD for a very limited time on September 12th (story). Once again Han will shoot first! I don’t have much of a problem with cleaning the digital effects up, so long as we could get the original versions, and now we can. I did [...]

Speaking of May Day, Robin Hardy’s follow up to his original cult classic, The Wicker Man finally seems set to start filming. It has gone through a few name changes, from “The Riding of the Laddie,” to “May Day” where Sean Astin and Vanessa Redgrave joined the cast with Christopher Lee (who plays a different [...]
My long time favorite of the DVD Review/News sites is DVDFile. I never could get into DVD Talk, too me it was nothing more then a second rate site that I had to suffer with while DVDFile was essentially down for a short while. DVDFile is perhaps my biggest source of Blu-ray/HD-DVD news that I [...]
