Sacha Baron Cohen S Next Mockumentary Revealed

Sacha Baron Cohen’s Next Mockumentary Revealed? By Brendon Connelly/Aug. 3, 2009 3:00 pm EST There’s a potential lead on just what Sacha Baron Cohen’s next starring vehicle might be, though it does come from a rather dubious source I’m afraid. According to The Sun – the UK’s preeminent tabloid newspaper, and lynchpin of Rupert Murdoch’s terrorist operations in my homeland – the next picture from Cohen is to be another mockumentary (if indeed that’s what Bruno and Borat were, which I am not quite sure is the case at all)....

Santa Claus Steals The Smurfs Director

Santa Claus Steals The Smurfs’ Director By Brendon Connelly/Feb. 4, 2009 2:35 pm EST Last November, it was announced that L. Frank Baum’s The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus was to be adapted into a “CG based” feature, to be directed by Tom Tataranowicz, Rich Arons and Dick Sebast. The selling point was that Baum’s Santa was the hero of a huge, epic fantasy battle story, not just a chuckling, portly old codger that judged our kids and let his reindeer traipse all over our private property....

Sex And The City Movie Trailer

Sex And The City Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/Dec. 6, 2007 5:31 pm EST I’ve never watched an episode of Sex in the City, nor do I ever plan to, probably because I don’t fit into the targeted demographic (i.e. I’m a guy). But I’m sure some of our female readers (ie Ms. Thompson and friends) are very interested in the movie. For you few, here is the trailer for Sex and the City: The Movie....

For days I’ve sat in dark screening rooms filled with other movie critics. And let me tell you, for a group of people who should love movies, critics are some of the least responsive movie-watching audiences....

Toy Story 3 D

Toy Story 3-D? By Peter Sciretta/April 12, 2007 2:22 am EST 3D movies seem to be all the rage now-a-days. Rumor has it that Toy Story 3 might be in 3-D. That’s right, a Pixar movie in Disney Digital 3D. Pixar previously ran a 3D test on the original Toy Story, but were unhappy with the results they saw on the big IMAX screen. “The problem with that is, I think John Lasseter believes there has to be a reason for that....

We Own The Night Movie Trailer

We Own The Night Movie Trailer By Peter Sciretta/May 19, 2007 11:40 pm EST What if The Departed took-place in New York Cit, followed the inner workings of the Russian mob and instead involved two brothers? It would probably look a lot like We Own The Night. It probably helps that the film also stars our favorite foul-mouthed Boston cop Dignam. And that’s actually not an insult but a compliment. The Departed was the best movie of last year, and this looks like it could be close to that level (well, you never know from just a trailer)....

What If Critics Weren’t Allowed To See The End Of A Film? By Russ Fischer/June 16, 2009 12:15 pm EST Some reviewing critics were irritated when, last year, Paramount screened Iron Man for press without the post-credits scene featuring Samuel L. Jackson. But that was just a kicker, and the movie held together without it. In Japan, Toho is doing something a bit more extreme with screenings of the last film in the 20th Century Boys trilogy....

The big break is that Anthony Hopkins is in negotiations to play Odin, Thor’s old man and top-dog of the Norse, in Kenneth Branagh’s film about the four-colour god of Thunder....
