Okay, so the 2012 nominations from the Motion Picture Sound Editors (MPSE) weren’t as helpful as I thought they would be as they have several categories and several nominees in each. So when predicting Best Sound Editing it is essentially a crap shoot though I was happy to see most of the contenders I had in my…

I am about to put the final touches on my DVD review for Deliverance and there is one thing that director John Boorman says about the film and its creation that really struck a cord with me. In the final feature of the four-part documentary he says the following: In the ’70s studios depended on directors and…

I am amazed at how a film can be so highly anticipated that people feel it is absolutely necessary to ruin their chances at being surprised when it finally hits the big screen. Star Wars: Episode III is certainly the overwhelming favorite as the most anticipated film of the year from a majority standpoint and yet…

UPDATE: A reader has pointed out that MuggleNet.com has posted what Dumbledore says in the 15 second teaser is, “Once again I must ask you to do the impossible, Harry.” I wish I could remember, but as I said in the comments I was washed over once I realized I was watching the trailer for Watchmen and then after 150 minutes of Dark…

Someone may have jumped the gun a bit when it was reported back in September that not only would there be a 23 Jump Street, but Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill were already on board with directors Chris Miller and Phil Lord attached to, at the very least, produce. However, in speaking with USA Today, Tatum throws a little cold water on all of that…

For some reason filmmakers and studios are resorting to gimmicks to get people back into theaters and to stop downloading movies off the Internet. I am just wondering why they didn’t decide to make better movies instead? Was Open Season or Transformers really better in IMAX? Personally that big ass screen just bugs the shit out of me and…

This morning the official James Bond Facebook page posted the above image. Given the number of rumors swirling around as to who will direct James Bond 24 recently, it seemed like a post that meant a little something more than just stating the obvious, post credit text all Bond films have utilized. While names including Christopher Nolan, Ang Lee, Tom…

Last night I was shocked to see there were in fact midnight screenings for Pixar’s WALL•E. I don’t know the facts on this, but this has to be the first time a G-rated movie had early midnight screenings on the day of release… Right? I don’t know how many folks turned out for those midnight screenings,…

There are about as many things you can criticize in Christopher Nolan‘s Interstellar as there are minutes in the science fiction epic, and with that comes an interesting spectrum of opinions ranging from intense adoration to flat-out disdain. Perhaps one of the stranger criticisms I’ve come across, however, is in regards to the science used in the film,…

Paramount has released the first clip from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and it features Megan Fox explaining to Whoopi Goldberg the existence of talking, mutant turtles in the city. You know, just your average, every day sighting of talking turtles with weaponry. No biggie. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is set to hit theaters on August 8 and don’t worry, you’re excused if you forgot it was…
