I finally decided to venture out of doors with my broken leg, almost a month into my recovery, and saw Superman with my brother on the IMAX 3D. It was the sole redeeming point: the 3D scenes took some time to get used to, but they were an interesting gimmick that made you forget how mediocre the mo...

This can be made official: Superman Returns will not reach $350M as some have predicted. Heck at this point, even $200M looks like it would be a struggle. After opening softly to $21M on Wednesday and dropping to $11M on Thursday, its Friday gross was a scant $16.2M, which would indicate it is head...

Hopkins and Foster for Silence Of The Lambs.

Good list to start. Do you really think Clint would win a second Best Director Oscar in three years, and third overall? When was the last time a director won two in such a short amount of time (especially his second and third), out of curiosity? Last year's race left a bitter taste in my mouth, and...

I'm currently reading Tony Judt's Postwar: History of Europe Since 1945 . Great so far. Okri! That makes two of us, it is a rather fascinating book. I recently bought some books on ancient history (Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire ; Holland's Rubicon: The Last Days of the Roman Republi...

It will be interesting to note that should X-Men: The Last Stand open to at least $70M (which is highly likely), it will be the first time an actor with a sizable supporting role has appeared in consecutive $70M openers. The man? Sir Ian McKellen, who has quietly amassed a long list of blockbusters...

2) even if it could be done, Howard and Goldsman are the least people on the planet to pull it off; Too true Tee. I've smelled it since it was announced, and I knew nothing good could come of it. Granted, the book is hardly spectacular (a cliffhanger every chapter, but nothing above pulp fiction), ...

I just saw Goodfellas for the first time, and I enjoyed the raw energy that rudeboy mentions. The freeze-shots, quick closeups and the great labyrinthine entrance that Henry and Karen make through the kitchen in one shot are outstanding. The contemporary soundtrack was also great. Joe Pesci's perfo...

United 93 Josh Tyler, cinemablend.com 2006-04-20 18:57:51 When it happened, for those of us watching it on TV from our living rooms and offices, the events of September 11th seemed almost like some Hollywood disaster movie. When the World Trade Center fell, many might not have been surprised to see...

Great news for us 24 addicts. Doesn't necessarily mean Jack will be alive for all three years, but Kiefer's hit the jackpot. Bless that man.
