The Hotness Has Left the Building

At least Shia LaBeouf took the blame himself for the problems with Transformers 2. But Megan Fox wasn't shy about comparing Michael Bay to Hitler and Napoleon, then the crew came out complaining about Fox being hard to work with... and now she's out.
That's right, Fox is out of Transformer's 3. But let's face it, aside from looking hot and being someone to save on a regular basis, she served …
Can Chesty Jake Reverse the Curse?

With a little over a week before Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time hits theaters, the question remains: will we finally get a decent video game adaption on the big screen?
The only thing I get out of the trailer is that it looks like a quintessential summer film: plenty of effects, probably short on plot and characters. Still, it will probably have a decent opening weekend then fade fast. …
Looks Like Someone Brought a Machete to a Race War

In news that unbelievable yet sadly true, it seems after Robert Rodriguez introduced the Machete trailer on Cinco de Mayo, and added in an extra Arizona message, some (unhinged? over-reactive?) people are scared that Machete may spark a race war.
Now, just to be clear, Machete is another homage to the grind-house movies of the 70s. In this case, Danny Trejo (Machete) goes on a revenge / …
Shia LaBeouf Wants You to Know He is a Very Sorry Actor
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/17/10 at 07:43 AM CT
Hot on the heels of admitting that he "wasn't impressed" with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen , and apologizing for his performance and promising to bring back the heart to the third in the series, he felt bad enough to also apologize for Indiana Jones 4.
Saying he dropped the ball in the 4th entry, he felt he tarnished the legacy of the film series. “The actor’s job is to make it …

Voltage Pictures, the financier behind the critically-acclaimed Oscar winner The Hurt Locker, is taking the copyright fight to the next level. Over 50,000 people who illegally downloaded the film are being sued, with more likely to follow.
Although lawsuits have been brought up in the past, they've been for films like Uwe Boll's Far Cry or Uncross the Stars - Nothing on the level of Hurt …
Human Centipede: This... Just Got Real

I always say there's no limit to human depravity. I say to myself "What can I find that will shock and or disgust me today?"
Have I become so desensitized and jaded that I am beyond help? Are there limits even for me? If you look at my movies I own list (it's long, but alphabetical!) you'll see my tastes are all over the map, but certain films - Ichi the Killer, Cannibal Holocaust, Salo, …

Hollywood Video Shuttered for Good - What's Next?
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/11/10 at 10:02 AM CT
The age of brick and mortar video stores edges closer to an end as Hollywood Video announced that all its locations will be closed - including all Movie Gallery stores.
I remember the days of local video stores, renting VHS tapes, mostly bad and or cheesy horror films, or the latest releases. Of course mom and pop stores were cut out of business by places like Hollywood Video and Blockbuster. …
Super 8 Now More Than a Motel
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/05/10 at 09:50 PM CT
Looks like J.J. Abrams - the man behind Lost, the New Star Trek and Fringe, has created another monster.
The Super 8 trailer, which will run before Iron Man 2, is another hand-held trailer, albeit of an old-school version, which fueled speculation to a Cloverfield sequel / prequel. But Abrams himself has debunked rumors that it is related to Cloverfield in any way after Internet speculation …
Clash & Dragon Sequels Already Planned
Chris Kavan - wrote on 05/01/10 at 01:16 PM CT
Looks like the 3D phenomenon has given the green light to Clash of the Titans and How to Train Your Dragon.
With both movies earning right around the $400 million mark, it wasn't that tough of a decision. While Dragon wasn't such a surprise, I'm interested to see where Titans is going to go next. There is no shortage of mythology to tackle - there are plenty of monsters and men to choose from …
