May 12, 2014 The movie 'Frozen' is now another family favorite from Disney, with a positive story and plenty of songs. Perhaps you've heard that obscure tune "Let It Go"? However, there are some dark themes running in the movie and this trailer shows how "Frozen" could be a horror movie.
May 12, 2014 I guess I'm a little bit more of a nerd than I thought. Today, during our entertainment update Cathy asked who the actor was in the R2D2 Robot. I immediately responded with Kenny Baker. Oh boy. Turns out I knew the rest too.
May 8, 2014 Recently, Jimmy Fallon shared his new favorite show, "Ew". Perhaps he likes it so much because he looks suspiciously like the star of the show. I'm also sure it's just a coincidence that Seth Rogen and Zac Effron have a movie to promote and the other characters on "Ew" bear a striking resemblance.
Ever since George Lucas sold 'Star Wars' to Disney a year and a half ago, there's been word of sequels and spinoffs in the works. But the production of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' took longer to launch than expected, and so the effort to create those standalone films was put on the back burner. Now that 'Episode 7' is days away from shooting, Disney is beating the drum again, and have announced they'll be at least three new spinoffs coming before 2024.
'Beverly Hills Cop 4' seemed like one of those things that was fun to think about -- like 'Dredd 2' -- but would probably never happen. While rumors of it moving forward have been circulating the web for some time, Paramount has revealed that, yes, this will officially happen and has been given a release date for 2016.
Just like 'Gilligan's Island,' fellow Nick at Nite rerun classic 'Green Acres' is also getting the big screen adaptation treatment ... as well as a Broadway production, courtesy of director Richard L. Bare, a frequent director on the original series and a man who obviously didn't take Elsa's advice in 'Frozen.'
Since Lucasfilm unveiled the cast of 'Star Wars: Episode 7' last week as they commenced with the first table read -- how do we put this bluntly? -- we've pretty much been taking anything we can get from the film. While Sunday's Star Wars Day was in full swing (and May the 4th still be with you always), Lucasfilm unveiled our first look at Peter Mayhew back in costume as Chewbacca.
May 3, 2014 Okay, I'm officially excited for the new Godzilla movie and I know I'm not alone. I remember watching Godzilla movies as a kid, with the bad rubber monster suit and bad dubbing. It didn't matter, I'd watch any monster movie. Now, as you're about to see in this trailer, it appears that the big guy is getting his best movie yet.
Most of what I know about complex science comes from comic books, so forgive me if my understanding of quantum mechanics is a little off. But, I think it can mean that particles can exist in two states simultaneously. 'The Amazing Spider-Man 2,' a film loaded with such half-understood notions of difficult scientific concepts, is a quantum movie. It manages to be both awful and entertaining, frequently at the same exact time. The script is ludicrous, even by summer blockbuster standards. The characters behave irrationally and without motivation and the story makes lengthy, frequent pit stops into dull backstory. But, for every moment of tedium and confusion there is a tiny explosion of joy. Director Marc Webb just barely ties this collision of half-baked ideas together in a sticky Spidey bow.
April 29, 2014 Seth MacFarlane, of 'Family Guy' and 'Ted' fame, has a new movie coming out and it's his take on the Old West.
'Star Wars: Episode 7' has finally announced its cast after a long process that has spanned months of speculation and rumors. The stars of the original trilogy - Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Kenny Baker - have finally been confirmed, and they'll be joined by newcomers to the franchise Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, Max von Sydow, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson.
It seems that the folks over at Warner Bros. are quite pleased with Zack Snyder's work because the studio has just officially signed the 'Man of Steel' and 'Batman vs. Superman' director to direct the upcoming 'Justice League' film, as well. That's going to keep him -- and presumably Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck -- pretty busy for a while.
