A movie adaptation of The Fantastic Four was completed in 1994 but was never intended to be released. It was produced solely for legal purposes, to retain the film rights for Fantastic Four. What I love about this story is that the director, actors, and other participants thought they were
No, I haven't seen The Avengers yet, but I am looking forward to Django Unchained this winter. Is The Avengers worth seeing?
I love Quentin Tarantino movies. The last time I attempted to list my favourite movies of all-time, six long years ago, he was all over it. Want to make Tarantino movies even better? Consider this Reddit comment. Inglourious Basterds spoiler below.It's well known that all of Tarantino's films take
My kid is writing about the origin of hip-hop for school. We had a good chat about hip-hop being a culture as opposed to a type of music or dance. It's a collective encompassing rap, DJing, breakdancing and graffiti. This discussion had me diving into old Public Enemy albums, and
This is what it looked like behind City Hall yesterday. Guillermo del Toro is filming his big budget film Pacific Rim here, and I thought this photo was pretty cool. Fellow Wire fans will enjoying hearing that Pacific Rim stars Stringer Bell. That's good. That's like a 40-degree day. Ain't
I'm conflicted. Two Undefeated documentaries are calling my name. Both look great, but I only have time to watch one... Do I watch this Undefeated? "A documentary that follows the Manassas Tigers football team, a severely underfunded and underprivileged football team -- who were even hired out as a practice
I first watched Field of Dreams in 1989, and the "catch with dad" scene made me cry back then. It still makes me cry. Every. Damn. Time. This scene is viciously unfair in its perfect and painful portrayal of... awww, forget it. I can't do this now.
Below are my Oscar predictions for 2012. Tomorrow, I'll post how I did in the comments. Of the movies nominated for best picture, I've actually only seen The Descendants, Midnight in Paris and Moneyball. Hugo, however, is on my hit list. Best Picture: The Artist Best Director: Michel Hazanavicius for
There are only two nominees for Best Original Song at this year's Academy Awards. The Oscar will either go to the folks behind Real in Rio or Flight of the Conchords' Bret McKenzie's pretty awesome Man or Muppet. It's pretty bizarre that only two songs were deemed worthy of being
Below are the top 40 movies in 2011 according to box office receipts. Two things immediately spring to mind: hot damn that's a lot of sequels and I sure haven't seen many popular movies in 2011. I'll bold the ones I've seen, since I know you're curious. Harry Potter and
I just learnt Men in Black 3 is coming to theatres this summer. There's a new trailer for Men in Black 3 that the kids seem to be enjoying. Here it is: I must confess, I've never seen Men in Black, nor have I seen Men in Black 2. I
This is Charlie Chaplin's final speech in The Great Dictator, a movie he made when Hitler was at the height of his power and America and Germany were still at peace. Here's the transcript from what is possibly the greatest speech ever made: Hope... I'm sorry but I don't want
I've been honest about my love for Siskel and Ebert. They've closed the balcony, but there are still a tonne of memories left behind, including this time in 1996 when Gene Siskel reversed his thumb in the middle of taping.Embedding disabled - click to watch The movie was Broken
On the heels of the PS3 Michael ad comes this supercut that proves every line of dialogue in The Lost Boys is "Michael".
Cinema's most overused line very well may be "You just don't get it, do you?" 0:00 – 2:00 ——————– 1. Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) 2. Breaking and Entering (2006) 3. Wrong Turn 2: Dead End (2007) 4. Annapolis (2006) 5. Daylight (1996) 6. Platoon (1986) 7. The
Keaton once said, "I don't believe in God, but I'm afraid of him." Well, I believe in God, and the only thing that scares me is an Evangelical Christian. Heaven help us...
Elvis is really upset about this, so it must be blog-worthy. According to something called Badass News, George Lucas has made edits to the original Star Wars trilogy for its release on Blu-Ray. Some review copies of the Star Wars Blu-rays have gone out to very select outlets (many of
All 3 hours, legitimately available on YouTube. To borrow one of the comments on YouTube, who are you and what have you done with Sony? What an age we live in!
Last weekend, the kids watched Back to the Future for the first time. I saw that film when it was in theatres back in 1985 and about ten times since, and it was fun experiencing it through their eyes. Although I loved Back to the Future, I had never seen
This is Movie Line Rhymes by Jordan Laws. You saw: 1. Hangover 2 2. Empire Strikes Back 3. Fight Club 4. Scarface 5. Dazed & Confused 6. American Beauty 7. Superbad 8. The Godfather 9. Are We There Yet? 10. There Will Be Blood 11. Road to Perdition 12. Coming
I had no idea "You talkin' to me?" was improvised. Apparently, DeNiro was only told to talk to the mirror. Nice montage of unscripted scenes...
Last weekend, I watched The Naked Gun with the kids. This weekend, it was Pee Wee's Big Adventure. Next weekend, we'll watch Teen Wolf. These three films have something in common besides the decade they're from. All three feature little known character actor Mark Holton. In Pee Wee's Big Adventure,
