My thoughts and stuff…
Jennifer Connelly’s got it pretty good since she appeals to so many markets. She’s gotten her geek cred from being in films like THE HULK, her dramatic cred for REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, and even her chick flick cred for HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU. Now she very well might spread her reach even farther by joining Ron Howard’s CHEATERS, as an offer has been made to her. Continue reading “Is Jennifer Connelly one of Ron Howard's CHEATERS?”
Many people may remember getting a sour taste (like a Warhead candy) from the GHOST RIDER movie. Although the film was generally disliked, it did go on to earn $230 million worldwide making a sequel very likely. Although we’ve been hearing rumblings about a GHOST RIDER sequel for a while, the updates we’re getting now are that Nicholas Cage, most likely will not be back for the sequel.

THE FINAL DESTINATION wasn’t really a breath of fresh air to the franchise that was suffocating from some extensive Rube Goldberg machine of death. All the film did was recycle the exact same formula again, but with a new set of kids. The film did go on to be a major financial success, so there are people who go out to see these movies. Luckily for them, the fifth movie is going forward and now officially has a writer. Continue reading “FINAL DESTINATION 5 gets its writer”
Is it Halloween yet? Because things got a little spooky on this week’s episode of our podcast. Oh yeah, it’s because Texas Frightmare Weekend starts on Friday and we had to get into the Horror mentality. What better way to do it than to have a discussion about the infamous genre and talk about our favorites with a guest or two.
Hit the break to check out the awesome episode and its synopsis. Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep. 6: Guest – Texas Frightmare Weekend Founder Loyd Cryer”
The Dallas International Film Festival is a pretty big deal for the DFW area. Last year it teamed up with AFI and was known under that banner, but now they’ve gone independent and pulled out all the stops. We’ve been covering the festival and giving you guys plenty of interviews to watch, and figured it would be a good idea to talk about some of the stuff showing there!
You can check out the episode synopsis and give the episode a listen, after the jump! Continue reading “GATW Podcast Ep 5: DALLAS IFF”
James Bond has been a favorite of mine since I was just a wee little guy, with the recent two incarnations starring Daniel Craig reaffirming my love for the series. Even though both films were major financial successes, and MGM assured us that the James Bond franchise would be okay despite their financial woes, it seems that isn’t entirely true. It now looks as if the next Bond feature has been suspended indefinitely.
This news comes to us through a press release put out by Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, which you can check out after the break. Continue reading “James Bond's next outing has been suspended, SPECTRE possibly to blame”
It’s been fifteen years since CASINO was released, and we haven’t had a team-up of Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro since then. Although there have been several almosts, including Scorsese’s THE DEPARTED where Jack Nicholson’s role was originally intended for De Niro, it just hasn’t happened. Now it seems that they will finally team again, in a project that sounds perfect for the duo. Continue reading “Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro to reteam for THE IRISHMAN?”
Many people have had some…not too kind thoughts on the recent trend of bringing back older animated properties and giving them the big screen treatment. It all started with ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS, a film that went on to be a major financial success, much to the chagrin of moviegoers everywhere. Now we have another forgotten property that will hit the big screen, and he’s a little squeak that packs a punch. Continue reading “MIGHTY MOUSE to save the day on the big screen”
THE FOUNTAIN is a film known for being the topic of much debate by cinema fans. The lovers of the film and the not-so lovers will argue the merits of the film endlessly (trust me, I’ve been there). Although the arguments exist, there is very little contention about the performances in the film, especially that of Rachel Weisz. Now it looks like THE FOUNTAIN writer/director Darren Aronofsky want’s to team back up with Weisz, and have her play one of the most iconic First Lady’s ever, Jackie Kennedy. Continue reading “Rachel Weisz to be Darren Aronofsky's Jackie Kennedy?”
Seth MacFarlane is a man who has success in whatever he does. His three animated series (Family Guy, American Dad, The Cleveland Show) has lead to fantastic ratings for the Fox network on Sunday nights; but despite all of this, his big directorial debut will be made with Universal instead of Fox, because of its hard R rating. Continue reading “"Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane helming R-rated comedy called TED”
