Speaking with Edgar Wright following an early Los Angeles screening, Mad Max: Fury Road director George Miller said, “You couldn’t make this as a CG movie.” CG, of course, was used at times, though not to create an impossible scenario, more to aid a practical one as Miller notes in the film’s production notes saying, “Fury Road was an opportunity to more…

20th Century Fox has officially hired Josh Zetumer, screenwriter of the recent RoboCop remake, to write the screenplay for Gambit, an X-Men spin-off feature to star Channing Tatum as the titular mutant character. The character was previously played by Taylor Kitsch in 2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine in perhaps what has become one of the most confused blockbuster timelines of all-time. With the announcement of a screenwriter the…

I actually saw a different poster for Argo in Toronto, one that featured the paper shredding motif from the teaser poster only it was shredding the lower half of Ben Affleck‘s face. That isn’t the look we get, however, from the first domestic poster for Affleck’s latest directorial outing, which already has some talking Best Picture winner, which…

Dredd screened for fanboys down at the San Diego Comic Con recently and they all responded with glowing reviews, and now a red band clip from the film has arrived online featuring plenty of blood, bullets and belly fat. Skimming through the clip the one thing I will give it credit for is its use of…

As blood dripped down Ryan Gosling’s face in director Nicolas Winding Refn’s Drive the Cannes audience couldn’t help but laugh. It wasn’t a laugh as a result of something funny, it was a laugh of relief as this year’s Cannes Film Festival has offered an abundance of diversity and Drive appears to be the aggressive, head-stomping capstone. But as…

Aside from special effects, blood, raging rhinos and an elaborate imagination one thing necessary to bring the film adaptation 300 to life was an actor that could take the lead role of King Leonidas and own it. Director Zack Snyder found his man in Gerard Butler and by the time the film is over you too will believe in…

It’s almost exhausting just to think about it, but Peter Jackson‘s bloated telling of J.R.R. Tolkien‘s “The Hobbit” will finally come to an end on December 17 when The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies hits theaters and if the newly released synopsis for the film is to be believed it means it will include more than just walking… The…

Many pictures from Star Trek Into Darkness have been finding their way online over the course of Paramount’s marketing plan, but many of them either come in the form of magazine scans or low-res versions so I have held off on most of them. However, today several hi-res versions have come available and while none of them…

NOTE: This review/recap contains spoilers for “Game of Thrones” Season Two, Episode Four. I have also added a batch of seven images from this episode at the bottom of this post. If Episode Two was all about the sweet lovin’ then Episode Four was entirely about the pain. The pain? Yes, the pain, that sensation “Game of Thrones” gives…
