V Returning to Television? - Oct 10, 2008 - 10:57am
I dug the series back then. And the whole "occupied" nation and its parallels to Nazi occupied Europe really worked. And Michael Ironside caught my attention as a gruff old bastard for good then. I'd be happy for a hot alien babe in skin tight red uniforms, waving her brunette hair in the wind before she peels her face off to reveal a snarling, drooling snaggletooth lizard snout...still with a hot alien babe in a skin tight red uniform physique.

CBS Grabs New HAWAII FIVE-O - Aug 12, 2008 - 10:44am
Living in Honolulu I'll be interested to see how they portray this city and island. Unlike that god-awful short-lived "Hawaii" tv show by the same guy who created "Shasta McNasty" I hope this one has more plot. And more character arcs than "Dog the Mullet-headed Bounty Hunter". I wonder if McGarrett's son's hair will also be Aqua-Net to death so that not a single strand of hair moves when he dives and rolls to take cover from gunfire.

Sony Grabs Screenwriters for FLASH GORDON - Aug 08, 2008 - 12:26pm
Max Von Sydow as Ming the Merciless is a modern camp classic in the 80's movie. The way he wiggled his fingers enjoying the chaos he created and every syllable was enunciated...malevolence, man. And the Sci-Fi series WAS crap. Flash Gordon with no sapceships? And a blonde Ming? C'mon...They tried to Smallville that show and glad they tanked.

Rosenberg to Adapt BBC's SECOND SIGHT - Jul 16, 2008 - 01:00pm
It was actually good in that British thriller fashion. This was Owen before he became pseudo-Bondish but he was good in a noir way, although the writing is kind of dated (calling women foxes) and the hallucinations his character saw was a little confusing. Good in that serial British "what-what" thriller...

Megan Fox Talks TRANSFORMERS 2 - Jun 19, 2008 - 11:49pm
Ugh- I wasted two something hours on the first piece of crud that was the Transformers. The script couldn't have been more contrived, formulaic and convoluted like it was shat out of the copy boy at Paramount. Shia couldn't have been more annoying, a human counterpart to JarJar Binks with the stilting constipated delivery of Shatner and the unfunny histrionics of Will Ferell. You couldn't see the robots for more than a split second and they were wasted for that LONG @SS sequence in Shia's bedroom and the unnecessary dialogue about masturbation w/ the cardboard cutout parents from previous blockbuster movies and Shia and the frigging footsteps on the grass. What a waste of John Turturro, Josh Duhamel and Jon Voight. Honestly Speed Racer was ten times better than this piece of crapage and that's setting the bar LOW. Fanboys have the right to see this but I have a duty to really call this movie as the piece of dung this will be with expectations like "mainly to add character "stuff" for her and Shia amongst the giant robots." Character stuff? That's called a PLOT idiots. Ugh, gee and here I thought I was expounding an IMHO. But I really really hated the movie and if the sequel is the same as the first I'll really REALLY f*cking hate this one as well. Vomit.

Millennium Frees Three MUSKETEERS - Jun 11, 2008 - 12:18pm
I agree with the thread that the '73 version(s) was the most buckle swashing and by far more entertaining than the Disney bratpacky affair. The 73 version was funnier and its digs about the French bourgeois priceless. But Oliver Reed...man, his fight scenes were brutal. And Charlton Heston as Richelieu with Christopher Lee as Rochefort...eeeeevil. And Faye Dunaway, more evil. I just hope they do justice to the buckleswashing here instead of making it like "the Musketeer", the Matrix meets capes.

Update: Marsden Joins TRANSFORMERS 2 & Video - Jun 03, 2008 - 03:34pm
Ugh- I thought the first Transformers movie was waste of two hours for me. It was disjointed, contrived and hammy and Shia LeBouf couldn't have been more annoying: he was like a mix of Shatner's stilted deliveries and Will Ferrell's over the top histrionics. And the writing- god in bloody hell- awful and that whole scene with the parents and masturbation in the kid's room totally unnecessary. Characters flat if not outright you-want-to-smack-them-upside for being so grating. And what a waste of John Turturro too. Sure the robots looked great-then after the novelty wore off it was formulaic schlepped contrivances after another. Ugh- this IMHO but really...do we need another Hasbro two hour commercial?

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: Escape Velocity - Apr 29, 2008 - 11:00am
By far one of the most intelligent and gripping series to date. Religious concepts undermining the government and cultural aspects of a society? Why shouldn't we explore that considering it was "religion" that caused 9/11? And it's more about spiritual breakdown and loss of faith, and the need to believe in something: the existence of Earth? we're right they're wrong? one true god versus other gods and Starbuck's leaps of faith into the unknown? Military might and government rule above all?..and for what in the end? What I particularly miss though from the OS is the use of the word "felgercarb". What ever happened to god old "felgercarb"? Now it's just "frak this", "frakkin so and so", "mother-frakker"...

Manga Cafes in America - Apr 24, 2008 - 01:26am
Actually that's not a bad idea. If you walk into any Borders or Barnes & Noble the most crowded aisle nowadays is the manga/comics section. You got kids sitting on grungy carpeted floors just to read up on their favorite manga. And to charge kids while selling them coffee, lattes and pastries is a goldmine. Added to that an internet cafe and possibly anime showings and events. It should pick up.

I remember Ray Park looked BAD ASSSS as Darth Maul leading up to the much hyped Phantom Menace. All the photo stills and composites had me going. THEN I saw Phantom. Ugh. Bad ass photos don't necessarily mean good.

A-TEAM Assault Begins June 2009 - Mar 19, 2008 - 10:07pm
The remake to 3:10 to Yuma was written well and the performances by Bale and Crowe emphasized the script's competence. Just hope Singleton doesn't mug the premise with 2nd rate direction or pandering to the lowest common demographic.

Berg Confirmed for DUNE - Mar 18, 2008 - 10:36am
I actually dug Lynch's "Dune"--in that weird cultish stoner way. It wasn't THE best adaptation of Dune but it did have one memorable line: Everett McGill's line when asked about worm sign before the big battle; Paul: Stilgar, do we have wormsign? Stilgar: Usul, we have wormsign the likes of which even God has never seen. Tried using that once on a date and I got PBR dumped on my lap...

LOGAN #1 - Mar 17, 2008 - 12:51pm
"Wolverine’s past has been explored ad nauseam." Wolverine has been exploited ad nauseam. Period. Isn't there another mutant more fascinating than a pint-sized, PTSD suffering, angry, bitter, caustic, hairy berserk claw-wielding Canuck? Way back in the day in Byrne's Hellfire Club X-Men he was kick-ass, not to mention Miller's Wolverine series but I mean..c'mon. He's a one trick pony as of late.

New Teaser Poster for Bond's SOLACE - Feb 07, 2008 - 10:46pm
"Quantum of Solace" is the complete opposite of (ahem) "Octopussy" which to me sounds far better. So it sounds like the title of a physics textbook...eh. From what I hear they're going to inject a little humor into Craig's deliveries--BUT hopefully not as hammy or self-conscious as Moore's god-awful one liners in his later Bonds. Plus Gemma Arterton....Google Gemma Arterton in the Images category and you'll see why most Brits keep a stiff upper lip...well stiff something (ahem)...did I mention "Octupussy"?

Woo's RED CLIFF International Trailer Online - Feb 01, 2008 - 11:22pm
John Woo's directorial style is the most copied form in current movie history so saying he "sucks as a director" is one's privelege if not ill-observed. And to team up with Chow Yun Fat is like giving Picasso his favorite paintbrush. Woo's American studio ventures are, honestly, below par (thanks in part to all the knuckleheaded execs who dilutes his production). But going back to his HK roots will free him up. I'd have like to have seen an updated shoot-em up, with Yun-Fat wielding two 9mm, but this is something I'll end up watching in a theater for, nonetheless.

Luc Besson Adapting ADELE BLANC Comic - Jan 29, 2008 - 09:44am
Luc Besson has set "some" standards in the action film genre but he always manages to ham it up with a fascination on ingenues that border on creepy, really really bad rap music for a soundtrack and corny comedic elements.

BLUE HARVEST Wins in DVD Sales - Jan 25, 2008 - 02:09pm
I really didn't think FamGuy was a parody as so much as an homage with FamGuy humor thrown in. The best parody I've ever seen was the Robot Chicken's Star Wars special. The skit with Palpatine talking to Vader on the phone after the Death Star explosion floored me...

28 years old and his career was on the foothold to stardom. Man what a shame. It'll be somewhat sadly ironic watching Batman knowing of his fate.

BOND 22 Filming in Austria - Jan 21, 2008 - 10:18pm
Casino was a better movie than the Brosnan series (no fault of Brosnan but the hackneyed writers and producers) but it wasn't the best. The dialogue was still a little contrived and the chase scene in Venice over the top. Craig is a fine actor capable of the smooth and rough and tumble of the Connery vein (see Layer Cake). Let's see him loosen up and have fun with the character. But not TOO loose as to ham it up like Roger Moore did.

STAR WARS DARTH BANE: Rule of Two - Jan 18, 2008 - 10:34am
In the theme of the thread being discussed on this board I would have to say I also VENERATED the original trilogy (being the first in my class to see Star Wars on opening day in 1977) but was seriously let down by the prequels. I attribute the let down to the tremendous overblown HYPE leading up to "Phantom". But I also believe Lucas strayed away from his original film-making roots of the Flash Gordon cliffhanger serials and just got way to bogged down in presenting the Joseph Campbell mythos (which, yes, I know is the origin of SW). There are those who love the mythology of the Jedi but frankly I would rather fly an X-Wing into battle or get into a firefight against stormtroopers than learn about the angst of what being a jedi is all about. The extended universe provides the spectrum of themes to the varied SW geeks out there. I've enjoyed a lot of the books, got bogged down--they're light reading, great for a lunch break--and it provides a continuation outside of Lucas' recently stilted and dogmatic interpretation of the SW universe. Then again IMHO only here...

Danny McBride Gets LOST in Remake - Jan 16, 2008 - 05:02pm
That monkey boy Chaka was the JarJar Binks of the 70's for me. You just wanted to take a mallet and just smack him upside the head. But that block of shows w/ LotL, Sigmund the Sea Monster and the Shazam/Isis Power hour just screwed with my preteen perceptions preStarWars. And interspersed in the shows was that Hershey's Chocolate Bar commercial ("Hershey's is...the great American Chocolate baaar...") that contributed to my high cholesterol.

Trailer for Romero's DIARY OF THE DEAD - Jan 13, 2008 - 10:15pm
I agree zombies have been overdone but I'm looking forward to World War Z. The book itself was frightening and creepy without resorting to illustrative gore. The fright came from the realism of the approach. It's politics (like every-frigging-thing nowadays) has been debated but who the frig cares? It resurrected my recurring nightmares of zombies shuffling outside my family's house at night.

Two New Pics for INCREDIBLE HULK - Dec 28, 2007 - 09:31am
Does Norton say: " The first rule of being Hulk: Hulk no talk about Hulk. Second rule of being Hulk: Hulk NO NO talk about being Hulk..." Or does he walk down a lonely country road with a backpack thumbing for a ride he'll never get with sorrowful piano music playing during the closing? ...or did Stewie from Family Guy already play that bit out...?

Some New Pics for Alba's EYE - Dec 27, 2007 - 10:20am
Frankly I think I've had my fill of Japanese/Thai/Korean horror remakes involving creepy stringy long haired teenage girls or ashen eye-sunken kids floating by or popping up out of the woodworks. I saw the original Japanese/Thai version at the theater and I literally had deja vu seeing as how I saw the same formula over and over before...

Susco Wants Zombie Action in MONSTER ISLAND - Dec 06, 2007 - 04:39pm
I've been a zombiephile since I saw the original Dawn of the Dead on BETAMAX at a friend's house and my recurring nightmare are flesh-eating zombies. My question is why are zombies so damned scary? The creep factor of something undead coming at you? Is it the flesh-tearing and human beings eaten alive? Is it the claustrophobia of zombies enmasse and unrelenting? What is it about zombies that freaks us the hell out? I thought World War Z captured the apocalyptic hell more than any other book and it didn't have any graphic cannibalism. So what is it about zombies that scares the hell out of people?

Green screen or not what drives a good film is writing and directing. Most of the green screened movies I saw were lame relying on the ooh/aah factor to overshadow lame writing and lazy direction. Give me captivating plotlines and intriguing character development and intelligence in the dialogue in an otherwise unbelieveable world they create in cg.

Daniel Craig Updates on BOND 22 - Nov 26, 2007 - 01:23am
I agree with some elements of the thread here. I think Connery's appeal was he was able to play the cool of the high tech gadgets that was missing from Casino Royale. Craig could work that cool with the gadgets. Also I think SOME humor could be placed here but not the self-conscious hammy one liners mugged for laughs like in the Moore films. Something cynical that Craig can use as a throw away line. I blame the writers of the Brosnan movies for ruining Brosnan's chances of becoming more than natty pretty boy. Craig has the chance now to really give Bond the rough-hewn cool of an assassin.

THE SIMPSONS: Treehouse of Horror XVIII - Nov 06, 2007 - 04:05pm
The Simpsons were great for what it was back in the day; post-punk animation in the Tracey Ullman Show based in part from the Life in Hell strips from Groening as gauley states. But for what it is now considering Family Guy is ten times funnier and edgier (and having South Park do an homage to an unaired Family Guy episode says something) they should really retire the Simpsons. The Simpsons used to draw a "Can't believe they made fun of that" back in the 90's. Now it's "Oh that routine" again.

Romero Denies DIARY OF THE DEAD 2 - Nov 06, 2007 - 10:48am
I'm looking forward to this seeing as how Romero has creative control as an independent. Saw "Day of the Dead" on cable the other week and got creeped the hell out seeing HIS zombies. His take on apocalypse always had a social relevance which made flesh-munching ghouls even more frightening.

STAR TREK Teaser Hitting Soon? - Nov 02, 2007 - 12:54pm
My question is: What uniform are they going to wear in this movie? Are they going with the yellow/blue/red polyester long sleeves with pants tucked into boots? Or are they going to try and get some fusion between the "Enterprise" jumpsuit to the Classic ST two piece (Miniskirt for the female crewmates)? I think that would set the tone for my anticipation for this movie somewhat.

ROUGH WORK: Concept art, doodles, and sketchbook drawings by Frank Frazetta - Oct 31, 2007 - 01:27pm
Frazetta. Man, he's the reason why I became a graphic artist today. Ever since I saw that Molly Hatchet album cover with the axe wielding horseman I've been drawing and emulating his style on every stoner's folder and binder in high school back in the day. Even did a faux Frazetta airbrush on someone's motorcyle gas tank. This book ought to be required for every pre-teenboy.

Ever since I saw that Molly Hatchet album cover with the axe wielding horseman I've been drawing and emulating his style on every stoner's folder and binder in high school back in the day. Even did a faux Frazetta airbrush on someone's motorcyle gas tank. This book ought to be required for every pre-teenboy.
John Woo's KILLER To Be Remade - Oct 09, 2007 - 01:33am
Aw hell no! Hell no! What's with Hollywood that they gotta pillage classics? First they're remaking "Enter the Dragon" and now they're screwing The Killer--the epitomy of acton shoot em ups. What the freaking flying f*@!k?!?!?! This is bullsh*t. Plain and simple.

SERENITY Sequel on the Horizon? - Oct 05, 2007 - 03:59am
woodwraith: "But Walsh and Book both died in the 1st movie. How could they be alive again in the 2nd?" Prequel. Nevertheless pretty effing good news. I just hope Joss has full reign and it's not delegated to some upcoming schlock director/hack writer to spew just because it's a straight to DVD production.

Lucas Details Both STAR WARS Shows - Sep 21, 2007 - 02:00am
I'm enlightened to hear Lucas is taking this away from the Toys R Us market (although I have a bad feeling about that there's going to be toys up the yazoo anyways). And the fact that the whole Jedi mythology won't play a big part on the live action series. I thought "a New Hope" worked because of the sci-fi military focus. If he jettisons the Jar-Jars and the Ewoks and the pratt falling droids and the heavy-handed Joseph Campbell mythos and keeps it serious yet with that Han Solo tongue in cheek swashbucklery then it should appeal to a lot of those old schoolers who got turned off by the prequels. Then again... Stay on target, George. Stay on target.

THE ROAD Confirmed for the Big Screen - Sep 19, 2007 - 02:58pm
I don't know how they're going to convey McCarthy's minimalistic approach to apocalypse and hell on earth. This is Hollywood and the bigger the explosion the bigger the cha-ching. I just hope they don't ruin the starkness with convulated action sequences and crap...

Mr. White Confirmed for BOND 22 - Sep 11, 2007 - 01:04am
I'm actually looking forward to Bond's character development in this one considering he broke his cherry as a double 0 agent, got royally screwed by a woman he loved and he endured some some ball-busting torture that's got to change the a man's views on how to take revenge. Now's the time to get nasty--and even find some humor from it to distance himself.

Bourne Stunt Coord. Hired for BOND 22 - Sep 04, 2007 - 10:15am
I think that because Casino Royale was supposed to be Bond's first double O mission his mannerism and style is coarse and rough--not the suave and sophisticated Connery's Bond who's had more missions and vodka martinis under his belt. Maybe the shaky, jagged camera work is supposed to convey this Bond's diamond in the rough approach to fights and villains. It's more real when it's somewhat new. In any case I'm just glad they toned down the hammy self-conscious one liners.

Warner Bros Has SUPERMAN Cast in JLA Movie? - Aug 25, 2007 - 12:15am
Tom Welling and Ryan Reynolds aside, this movie is going to hinge more on pinpoint creative narrative writing that makes us care about the characters and their dynamics. The X-Men franchise was just all over the place and granted it's only two hours but never ever really captured the essence of the X-Men comics and why we cared. The JLA has got to be more engaging with already established icons. I'm just interested in who's gonna play Bats to flesh it out for me.

Warner Bros Takes on DRAGON Remake - Aug 10, 2007 - 03:01am
In the immortal words of Will Smith: Awww "hail" no! "Enter" is the Citizen Kane of martial arts and WHY would they need to remake it? It's such bullsh!t. It's gonna be real interesting to see who they pick for the lead. And I get a sick feeling it's not going to be an asian lead this time because a lead "asian" is not going to be marketable. This is EXACTLY what Bruce Lee fought against in Hollywood; cheapening the spiritual of the martial arts. F*cking sacks of...

Some Details on 1-18-08 & Poster - Jul 28, 2007 - 10:54pm
Anyone seen a Korean movie called "The Host"? It's S Korea's take on the giant monster rampaging through a city genre. It's a great movie not only for the monster but a great social commentary. It came out last year and flew underneath the radar except for the critics who dug it. Might be a good teaser when it comes out on DVD before this...

Schumacher Remaking Hong Kong NEWS - Jul 25, 2007 - 02:58am
American remakes of HK/Japanese/Korean films are either hit or miss; The Departed is an example of a remake done well whereas the rest are just Americanized for the sake of being "american". What I don't understand is why the wider American audience can't enjoy the original foreign movie as is? Why do we need an "americanized" version to enjoy its premise? Other countries enjoy our movies as is. Now I'm not disparaging American productions but just making an observation and asking a question.

Seth Rogen As The GREEN HORNET? - Jul 20, 2007 - 10:12am
Actually IF done right this might turn out to be somewhat entertaining and if Hanso said, if Apatow productions have a hand in it. A strightforward "noir" movie might end up being another "The Shadow" (Alec Baldwin) or "The Phantom" (Billy Zane) I.E. suck ass. BUT if handled deftly they can up the camp like they did on the tv series. I just wonder how they're going to deal with the race/manservant issue with Kato if it ends up being a comedy; it can actually be funny. They should get John Cho of "Harold & Kumar" to play him IF they go the comedic route on this one.

More Humor in BOND 22? - Jul 13, 2007 - 04:58pm
Oh for f*ck's sake. Tell me we're not going back to the hammy, self-conscious OBVIOUS contrived one-liner quips that became so embarassing with the later Moore films, agonizing with Dalton and hamstrung with Brosnan. It's the writers that truly screw up the Bond essence with tired old formulas and dialogue that's so contrived. I liked "Casino" because it lacked that self-conscious humor. Ugh. My two cents are not paying for a ticket if this is where the franchise is heading back towards.

New DARK KNIGHT Photos Emerge - Jul 12, 2007 - 06:17pm
SONYMAN--lol that Jacobson joke was pretty regional. Sort of like watching "Stripes" when Bill Murray says "We zip in, we pick 'em up, we zip right out again. We're not going to Moscow. It's Czechoslovakia, it's like going into Wisconsin. and Landis says: Well, I got the sh** kicked out of me in Wisconsin once. Forget it. As for Bats filming in Chicago, I couldn't be more happier. Although the el-train sequence in SpiderMan 2 WAS shot on Chicago's el-train line even though it was meant to be in NY. Anywho anyone who stalks movie sets to take photos to post online needs a new line of work.

Official 1-18-08 "Cloverfield" Trailer - Jul 09, 2007 - 06:12pm
This might be an Americanized version of a successful Korean film called 'Yonggary" which was a take on the giant sea creature attacks city theme. But I doubt it considering it just came out last year in Korea (but highly recommended if you get a chance to see it).

Is it true they're issuing a remastered DVD of the Jones' Flash Gordon movie to coincide with the series premiere? The only place I can get a dvd is on eBay and they're from like Portugal or some other country and pretty expensive.

Cuthbert Talks CAPTIVITY Experience - Jul 05, 2007 - 04:46pm
It's kind of funny to see the development of horror from implied torture through horror to the actual torture porn that is is now. Used to be you had the sex scene first and then the murder. Now it's torture leading to murder as the sex scene in these torture flicks. Sociologically I wonder what that says about the generation watching these movies now.

Zemeckis Tells CHRISTMAS CAROL - Jul 05, 2007 - 12:55pm
Now if they could remake "A Christmas Carol" and laden it with zombies, politically corrected recasting Will Smith as Scrooge, Shia LeBouf as a plucky Tiny Tim with a crutch that doubles as a shotgun and they fill the theater space with rap music and a MINIMUM of no less than 30 explosions and at least a "Aw HELL no!" and a final showdown with the Ghost of Christmas Future played by a retired wrestling superstar not dead by steroid rage I'm STILL not so there! I agree with Krasch, Alastair Sim is a classic by and large.

George you're the one film maker who gives me my one most frightening recurring nightmares since I was 12 and someone showed me "Dawn..." on their parent's VHS. You kinda took a left turn with "Land..." but I got faith in you to scare the living bejeezus and creep the motherf*cking hell out of me all over again.

Bale Updates On The JOKER - Jun 29, 2007 - 12:33pm
Actually funny to see the picture of Bale's Joker next to Sid Haig's Captain Spaulding picture and how effing creepy both seem to be at this moment in Mania.com. If Bale can reach the same creepiness as Haig then this Batman should be good. Joker's supposed to be murderous psychopathic clown, what can be more creepier?

Update:VALKYRIE Not Banned in Germany - Jun 28, 2007 - 05:59pm
I'll admit Cruise is a "psycho cultist" but how different is that than another actor with his/her own public agenda albeit political, spiritual or religious? Bottom line is he's a capable and great actor. Period. He delivers. That's where he should be judged upon. And if you subscribe to judging him based on tabloid sensationalism then you gotta ask yourself your true motives for being into movies...

OLDMAN To Quit Acting? - Jun 27, 2007 - 12:27pm
Oldman was always those actors whose presence always brought that extra notch up in a film's dynamics. Look at "Lost in Space", he was the ONLY one animatedly human enough who didn't feel like a CGI cutout. He'll be more selective in the future which can guarantee quality perfrormances for him.

The De Niro/Pacino team up had me going there...until you threw in the 50 Cent addition to the mix...there are other far more deserving actors who can bring this up a notch for that role...instead you get studio marketing gumps who throw in "Heeey we can 50 Cents in there...y'know, cash in on that urban demographics and let's throw in some of that hip-hop, rap music you know"... With two A-list talent I already foresee a b-list production

Kevin Smith Makes PORNO Offer - Jun 22, 2007 - 12:28pm
Kevin Smith is one glib and funny person. I had the pleasure of seeing him during his Q&A tour nationwide and he's QUICK with something truly funny and improvised when he's in the natural state of having a dialogue. Fanboys would come up to the mike and ask him ALL sorts of dumbass questions yet he took it seriously and provided some inteeligent, funny answers. I just wish he took that natural delivery and showed that in his movies instead of the over the top slapstick he seems to fall back to.

Aged INDY Picture Revealed - Jun 22, 2007 - 12:23pm
I think with everyone kvetching and acting like a bunch of old marms in a bridge club talking about what someone's wearing they're STILL going to shell out the $$$ to watch this on the big screen. I hope Spielberg will have more influence on this than Lucas considering Lucas' style of storytelling of late; the last Indy movie felt like one set-up after set-up for an Indy prat fall. And I just bet near the end you'll hear some choir inducing climax with lights shining behind some alien walking towards a sprawled Indy and son in the desert...

Fox Searches for New Elvira - Jun 15, 2007 - 12:48pm
There isn't such a thing as a new Elvira--the old Elvira was actually a "revamp" of Vampira from the 50's...only more cleavage. So in actuality the new Elvira is a new Vampira...with cleavage, did I forget to mention that? And Cassandra Peterson's best role was in "Pee Wee's Big Adventure" where she played the biker moll who wanted Pee Wee for an hour before he did his tecquila dance...

Star Wars 30th Anniversary Collection Vol. 3 Darth Maul - Jun 13, 2007 - 02:24pm
Why does it take the Extended Universe to provide the coolest of SW characters their spotlight when in the films they only get--pffft--5 minutes, 10 tops worth of exposure? They PIMPED the hell out of Maul leading up to SW1 but I blinked and the next thing I know he's mumbled three or four lines and then he's gone.

THE SOPRANOS: Made in America - Jun 11, 2007 - 08:37pm
The premise of the show was to show the day-in-the-life of a mobster, nothing more nothing less; if there would have been an all-out shoot out then this would have been more Hollywood than Chase's vision of the "doldrums" of a suburban family life that happens to have a mobster for a father. As for the ending, if Tony had either been shot or went into witness protection then that would have been some sort of "judgement" on his character--Chase's perspective has always been this is "just" Tony--monster and paternal screw-up and all. The ending was just an ending in the day-in-the-life-of. Nothing more and nothing less. As for the build up in the end, it says something about the mobster's life that it's never safe even in ordinary settings because of the choices they made. I dunno. That's just my own take.

In the end either someone in Tony's crew or Phil in a backstabbing fashion will hit Paulie. Tony will either get involved in a scrap, barely survive and take his family to live anonymously somewhere in Connecticut or he'll get iced--maybe in front of AJ which will shock him out of his depression and in a final shot he'll turn his face towards Satriale's with a determined look on his face. As the last episode I hope some threads get tied neatly but being what it is (Nuttin' for nuttin' as Paulie would say) there'll be some unanswered questions which make for great water cooler discussions.

First Look at Mach 5 from USA Today - May 31, 2007 - 08:38pm
Fracking A... The car is sweet. I'm glad they kept the "W" fuselage up front. And with the Wachowskis at the helm the action sequences should be above formulaic. Although I hope they didn't retain the dialogue English dubbing rhythm from the original cartoon: Speed you're not going to race and that's final haHA Pops you're crazy I'll race if I want to haHA Chim-chim says Speed is the best haHA No Speed is not going to race haHA

Woo to Helm NINJA GOLD - May 29, 2007 - 12:38pm
I think w/ John Woo his "style" has been oversaturated and is now part of the Hollywood blockbuster formula. When his movies w/ Chow Yun Fat came out, they were "innovative" in style in the Eighties. Frenetic, bloody and over-the-top with a different indie approach to gun battles. Now...meh...anything from HK that gets touched by Hollywood gets mass marketed, dumbed down and slapped with a hip hop soundtrack to attract the urban youth demographics. If Woo were to go indie and not be restricted by the schmucks in Hollywood I think he'd reinvent the million-bullets gun battles. Now I just glance at news about him, scan to see anything about a Chow Yun Fat reunion then move on.

Distant Horizons to Bring Back FU MANCHU - May 18, 2007 - 01:43am
#12--Actually CappyMorgan they are creating a Charlie Chan only with Lucy Liu as the granddaughter of Chan. Making Fu Manchu an anti-hero "kind of" sounds politically corrective but hell EVERY genre is being re-imagined: Battlestar Galactica, Dawn of the Dead...it's not a matter of "political correction" but a lack of original stories.

Iliff Set to Write/Direct POINT BREAK 2 - May 17, 2007 - 09:02pm
If you go this route how about "Roadhouse 2"? And have it set in the Ukraines or Russia? Jack Dalton in Tibet studying to be a monk gets recruited by the Russian mob to bounce an up and coming Russian night club, falls in love with a mobster's girlfriend, finds out the club is a front for sex slave operations and just kicks some aaa-iieee-ssss, blowing up all sorts of Russian tankards an dtrucks and whatnot....

CAVEMEN, CONNOR CHRONICLES Get Series Pickups - May 14, 2007 - 12:34pm
I lament the fact there's crap on tv except for Heroes and BG. And the fact good shows like Firefly and Arrested Development are cancelled from the get-go. That said I think the caveman series MIGHT have potential based on their website: http://www.cavemanscrib.com/ It takes awhile to load but it is funny as all hell. Click into the bedroom and change the caveman's clothes--it's smarmy humor but funny.

Lucas Plans Two More STAR WARS - May 09, 2007 - 08:17pm
If I see anything furry and cute or schleppy and slapsticky or remotely geared towards my 8 year old nephew on these shows I will personally put a Caterpillar work boot through the tv screen and bill Lucas for the repairs. As mellowdux states no ewoks, no Kashyyk, and I might add no Gungans, no cartoonlike tumbling droids, no aliens who look like current tv personalities, no kids, no beginning text crawls that read like the f*cking preamble to a trade agreement, no uberhype for a bad-ass character that only gets 3 lines and only gets 4 minutes worth of footage, and NO kids. I'm an OLD SCHOOL fan from waaay back in '77 and what Lucas did w/ the prequels ...("Wait a minute we're supposed to be smarter than that..." shhhhyeah), man, made me feel like I wasted 20+ years of my life following his crap.

Roth Signs on as HULK Villain - May 09, 2007 - 03:38pm
Norton and Roth are two great actors who can bring the sublime into their performances. Considering the Hulk is pretty much an in your face experience with "Hulk smash" theatrics, the manner the two go from zero to a manic sixty can bring some depth to the acting here.

Meyers Planning AUSTIN Sequel - May 07, 2007 - 04:30pm
Actually a Dr. Evil perspective would be better than an Austin Powers one; God knows the "Yeah baby YEAH!" got tired REAL quick for me when everyone started doing it. Though I don't know how much mileage the "zip it" routine between Myers and Seth Green will have after awhile too funny as they were. Either way it's a brainless fun way to spend an evening with a date.

Heroes: Five Years Gone - May 02, 2007 - 01:17pm
I actually liked the contrast between present day Hiro and the future Hiro--the future Hiro is battered and tired of being a hero which foreshadows the amount of fighting he had to do with the sword (which I would love to see more of). But the main character is present day Hiro who's naivete of wanting to be hero is now faced with the ultimate decision: do I kill for good? And the Sylar as Nathan twist made me laugh--in a good surprised way--and would have loved to have seen at least some of Sylar's and Peter's battle. I haven't watched "Heroes" for more than a couple of episodes but this one was a great way to catch up.

"Wolverine" begins casting - Apr 26, 2007 - 01:22am
Somehow the Wolverine of the movies captures only a percentile of the true nature of Wolverine in the comics. I remember when he was the underground wonderboy when Miller's Wolverine series first came out. Now he's a little too overexposed and--yeah I'm saying it--commercialized. Jackman's portrayal seems too restrained even when he's supposedly beserk. I hope they get darker into his nature.

Steve Niles guest blogs on Mania! - Apr 14, 2007 - 01:11pm
I saw panels from the comic book and it FINALLY showed the "zombies" (they ain't really dead) munching on some hapless living victims; which was my only complaint about 28 Days Later. Not that I wanted gratuitous cannibalism gore but that was missing from the movie and I felt the zombies were nothing more than a crazed angry mob who would just beat the hell out of you--now if they ate you there was a sense of sickening dread to the apocalypse.

Who’s your daddy? Where’s your shoes? - Apr 14, 2007 - 01:05pm
I for one don't think Imus should have been fired. Not because I defend what he says or the fact that the First Amendment is "being threatened". He should have been suspended and then came back and extended the discussion about race on his show which America sorely needs. And the notion that free speech is dead in America is bullsh*t. It's corporate America who fired him over $$$ but he's still able to talk freely in public and private; those who whine about how free speech is dead are only complaining because they don't have the arrogant posture of "superiority" to make fun of others like they used to anymore (and I mean that for every race). A couple of years ago there were some black DJs in New York that produced a song making fun of the tsunami victims in SE Asia basically using the word "ch*nk" and there was an uproar about it locally--the black DJ was suspended only while her producer and cohorts were fired. Where was Jakcson and Sharpton then? Where was Oprah? Why didn't it receive national airtime? Why didn't BET news cover it ONCE? So racism on the air exists in all forms. Morning shock jocks and bullying talk show idiots are contributing to the increasing rudeness and selfishness of Americans, I really believe that. Should we take them off the air? No. But more people have got to start thinking for themselves instead of letting radio and tv personalities do their thinking for them. Especially in terms of race.

Christina Ricci joins "Speed Racer" - Apr 13, 2007 - 02:59pm
My biggest fear is the characters of Spritle and Chim Chim will get played for corny kid laughs and Jar-Jar Binks the whole movie. But I have faith the W Brothers WON'T go Lucas on us and give us a thrill ride...I can also see Vince Vaughn as Racer X, to throw another casting loop into the mix...and Mania thanks again for the bevy of cheesecake beauties that has me scrambling to close the popup window when my manager trolls around the cubicles...

"Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters" - Apr 13, 2007 - 12:53am
I agree with the reviewer: this is best kept in short intervals...just about the same amount of time when the initial buzz from a bong hit off a wizard-hat ceramic water pipe lasts and lingers and its gone. I'll admit it's some funny sh*t--but after awhile A.D.D. settles in and I'm clicking on my remote seeing if Morgan Webb and her bodacious self is on G4....

Before I went to college I read this guy's books and man, did I ever get bent---but in a good way. I read "Sirens of Titan" waay before I read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy". Dude, thanks for the head-trip and hope where you're at, there's an automatic "electrocute poster" key on your laptop for boneheaded comments left on message boards...BZZZZZZZZZK....ACK! Sh*T!!!! Funny, dude, reeeeeal funny.

Ralph McQuarrie's paintings brought me over the edge into total Star Wars geekdom back in '77. I remember seeing paintings in a Starlog magazine way back then and thought the stormtrooper with the lightsaber was the sh*t. Then the movie came out and majordomo geekdom possesed me. Lucas owes a lot to McQuarrie for being the herbal seasoning to his vision back then.

Kevin Smith reveals his project: "Red State" - Apr 09, 2007 - 01:05pm
Had the pleasure of seeing Kevin Smith at the Honolulu Film Festival doing his Q&A road tour and frankly he's very articulate and way more funny than his schleppy comedies might portray him to be. This might be a good movie if he doesn't succumb to cheap laughs for the sake of sh*ts and giggles.

The Christmas and Great Pumpkin specials have become a family tradition for my family. I hated the Thanksgiving special though. The focus on Peppermint Patty became annoying considering her character was a real bitch throughout the show.
