The cowboy and the spaceman. The piggy bank and the green dinosaur.
They are some of the most familiar movie characters of all time, thanks to Pixar hits Toy Story and Toy Story 2. And with the third title hitting theaters Friday, the whole gang’s back – along with a few newcomers too. Namely the meanest pink teddy bear you’ve ever …
It was 25 years ago Thursday that the Discovery Channel began operations, reaching its initial 156,000 subscribers with reality programming that – at the time – was a whole lot less common on cable. Today, that audience has soared to 100 million subscribers in the United States alone; internationally, the network now reaches 1.5 …
Man alive last week was a busy one on the movie front.
One day I was rushing off and checking out the new badass Karate Kid, then the next I was giggling it up over at The A-Team and interviewing the new Murdock – Sharlto Copley.
Well I couldn’t let Sharlto, star of District 9, off the phone without touching base on the future of …
Oh Kirk Honeycutt: I typically agree with your reviews in the Hollywood Reporter. I would say that more often than not, we’re on the same page when it comes to blockbusters and genre titles.
But when it comes to The A-Team, I’m starting to wonder what you were actually expecting. You give the movie a rather vicious drubbing: …
About 30 seconds after we got off the phone with The A-Team’s Murdock, er Sharlto Copley (see the interview), we rang up director Joe Carnahan to check out the story. It was a quick conversation – but such a good one that we thought we’d share it with you.
Our review of the movie will be coming up in just a few hours – and be …
The original Karate Kid was about self-discipline; the new incarnation is far more about self-preservation. And while at the outset that distinction is a subtle one, it’s jarring enough to give the whole movie a different, pulpy flavor that can, at times, skew uncomfortably violent.
After all, how brutal do these fist-to-fist duels …
Sharlto Copley – yes, the dude from District 9 – was sprinting through New York City on Wednesday on an A-Team promotional tour, and we tracked down his cell phone number so that we could hit him up with a couple questions about the film before he made it to the airport.
Yes, we’ve seen the movie – we were the ones giggling in the …
Ohmygodohmygod.
Okay, we haven’t been shy around here about our love for Mega Shark Vs. Giant Octopus – the schlocky underwater monster thriller that ends in a flurry of mutually assured aquatic destruction.
It’s a brilliant bit of pulp. But it has nothing on an actual shark vs. octopus duel – which I found the other day on …
Swing by the video store this weekend and rent any Danny Boyle movie, and you’re going to be entertained.
The man was born to create sweeping spectacles. He has an eye for kinetic movements, a pulse for rhythm and pacing, an ear for dialogue and a freaky ability to reject anything that is the least bit routine or mundane. When I …
In recent years, with the miserable likes of Alien Vs. Predator, the whole idea of the Preadtor has turned into something of a comical punch line.
They’ve become B-movie fodder. And while I understand some think that it’s always kinda been that way, whenever I think back to that very first Predator in 1987, I get a little …
Twitter led SNL producers to cast Betty White as host. Now the viral campaign is afoot to cast Donald Glover as the first black Spider-Man.
And what’s most surprising about the latter campaign is the speed with which this Glover mania has taken flight. In less than a week, the concept has gone from a fringe comment posted in …
Prepare to hear a whole lot more about an unlikely, haunting movie called Splice – a gloriously disturbing, hypnotically unsettling art film that somehow managed to land Warner Bros. as distributor.
Directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube), the movie remains so committed to a singular unsettling vision that it’s hard to believe …
