My thoughts and stuff…
JACKASS 3D was quite a marvel that should have been seen by all that are age appropriate. It is hilarious, disturbing, and enthralling in almost all aspects. Although it was joked in its pre-release that it was the most revolutionary 3D since AVATAR, this may not have been too far off the mark.
With all this being said, it only makes sense that the film would see a campaign to nominate the film for Best Picture, right? Right? Continue reading “JACKASS 3 campaigning for Best Picture”
When your brother has blown up on the music scene with his band’s most recent album, including smashing its way onto the Billboard Hot 200 at number one, it probably isn’t a bad idea to have him score your first feature film. That is certainly the case for Zal Batmanglij, brother of Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij.
The film in question is called SOUND OF MY VOICE, and it chronicles what happens when a couple joins a cult in California, particularly following their interactions with the cult’s leader. With a concept as interesting and intriguing as this, I can only wonder what Rostam’s score will sound like, especially since Vampire Weekend is known for their pop nature.

I remember seeing the CASPER movie in theaters as a kiddo and loving every second of it. My grandma had previously introduced me to the character, so it was only fitting that she was the one to take me to see it. That viewing was only topped by the many VHS viewings I had in the following years.
It seems that Casper might be making his big screen return, as Classic Media is taking a chance at rebooting the franchise. Continue reading “Is Casper, the world's friendliest ghost, returning to the big screen?”
The Unchartedseries is easily the mainstay series for the Playstation 3 to myself and many other gamers. The first game came out of nowhere and gave us a fast-paced action platformer built to perfection. Little did we know that two years later, they would give us a sequel that would somehow eclipse the original significantly.
That’s why it wasn’t very surprising when a film adaptation was first announced, it seemed to make so much sense. Since then, the production of the film has been like a roller-coaster ride of retractions and hearsay. Now we are getting news that a lot of the things we had heard about the film that was worrisome, might not have been so true. Continue reading “UNCHARTED might be back on the right track”
THOR is just on the horizon, and with things like trailers being released, it isn’t surprising that a lot of info is starting to come out about the film. The current rumor that is taking the Internet by storm is that one of THE AVENGERS is set to make a cameo in Kenneth Branagh’s THOR.
The common consensus is that it is most likely Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye, hit the break to see why! Continue reading “Guess which AVENGER is rumored to cameo in THOR?”
Gemma Arterton is a very hard-working actress, and looking at her list of upcoming films is proof of that. She made quite a splash when she appeared in QUANTUM OF SOLACE (which marked my first time seeing her work), and has since been constantly busy.
Although she has a lot coming down the pipeline, she felt the need to share a little bit about her upcoming film with Michael Mann, CAPA, where she will co-star with SPIDER-MAN himself, Andrew Garfield. Check out what she had to say after the break! Continue reading “Gemma Arterton talks CAPA, co-starring Andrew Garfield”
I don’t think you are going out on a limb when you claim that Mickey Rourke is a pretty astounding actor. Since his big return in THE WRESTLER, he has continually surprised us with his performances, even in his more mainstream fare.
He seems to be open for just about any role he seems fit, as he is set to play Gareth Thomas, an openly gay rugby player that is 22 years younger than he. Hit the break to see what Rourke had to say about the role! Continue reading “Mickey Rourke speaks on his film about rugby player Gareth Thomas”
Jason Segel is the man, I’m not really sure there is any other way to describe him. Not only is he in one of my favorite sitcoms on television (How I Met Your Mother) and on the forefront of bringing back The Muppets, he is also still working hard at his extremely solid feature film comedic career.
His next big film to release after THE MUPPETS will be FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT, a romantic comedy that is being written by both Segel and Nicholas Stoller. Segel claims this won’t be your everyday rom-com that we’ve grown accustomed to, and they are trying to make it very special. You can check out what he had to say after the break! Continue reading “Jason Segel has high hopes for FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT”
Adaptations are such a big part of Hollywood, as the flow of adaptations, remakes, and “reimaginings” has hit an all-time high. This inspired us to talk about some of our favorite adaptations and why we love them.
Additionally, we talk about Danny Boyle’s 127 HOURS, and delve into whether or not it’s worth all the hype. We then wrap up our discussion with our thoughts on season one of The Walking Dead and if this season lived up to the comics it is based on. You can check out the episode after the break!

Don Hertzfeldt is a sick genius, I really don’t know any other way to put it. His short film, REJECTED, made quite the splash back in 2000 and took the film festival circuit by storm, catapulting him into the spotlight. Since then, he has had a steady flow of work, including his crazy animated Pop Tart commercials.
After running its course on the film festival circuit this past year, his most recent short, WISDOM TEETH, has finally hit the web. You can check it out after the break! Continue reading “Don Hertzfeldt's WISDOM TEETH finally makes its way online”
