It looks like G.I. Joe: Retaliation won't be hitting theaters this year. According to Deadline, the movie, which was originally slated to debut on June 29, has instead been delayed until March 29, 2013. Why the nine-month bump? Official sources claim it's so that Paramount can add a third-dimension to the film. "We’re going to do a conscientious 3D job because we’ve seen how it can better box office internationally,” an… Read More
A brief glance through Judd Apatow's IMDB page reveals that Apatow has never really made a sequel or a follow-up to any of his movies or TV shows. You could, however, argue that most of his movies occur in the same Apatowian universe. With… Read more →

Mr. North has voiced everything from Transformers video games to the The Avengers TV show, as well as appearing in shows like ABC’s Pretty Little Liars. The guy’s got range.

In case you live in a wonderful, fictional world where your fond childhood memories are sacrosanct to the money-grubbing capitalist maniacs in charge of greenlighting Hollywood films, you may not have heard that Sony Pictures has crafted a remake of the 1990 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Total Recall. Unfortunately, if you're reading this, you actually live in our reality, and all that stuff we just wrote is totally a thing. Sorry you had… Read More
For the last few years Brendan Fraser has spent his time doing more kid-friendly fare with movies like Journey to the Center of the Earth and Furry Vengeance. It's been awhile since he's done anything a little more adult-oriented, like… Read more →
Dubbed Dragon Age: Dawn of the Seeker, the upcoming Blu-ray and DVD release tells the story of Cassandra, a young warrior who is thrust into a conflict that turns out to be far more complex and far-reaching than it initially seems. Here, have a look at the flick's official plot synopsis: In a land where battles are fought with swords and magic, a young heroine rises to glory as Templars, mages, and dragons clash. Cassandra, a brash and… Read More
I think it's important to frame Men in Black 3 in the right context before we start talking about it. This is a sequel that nobody really asked for or necessarily wanted. It's coming 10 years after its most recent predecessor, the exceedingly lousy Men in Black 2. Will Smith doesn't look like he's aged a day, but he's no longer the comedic loudmouth that made his Agent J so memorable in the first movie. Tommy Lee… Read More
When you first heard that Universal Studios was planning on making a movie out of the classic board game Battleship, what was your immediate reaction? Bewilderment? Confusion? Cruel laughter? That was pretty much the feeling that everyone had, and yet the studio pressed on, hiring Liam Neeson, Rihanna and Taylor Kitsch in leading roles and dropping an astronomical amount of money on special effects, presumably in the hopes that movie goers… Read More
It would be an understatement to say that the original MacGruber was a box office failure. The film, which was based on a Saturday Night Live sketch lampooning 80s mainstay MacGyver, was filmed for only $10 million, yet it couldn't even manage to reclaim its paltry budget. By comparison, The Avengers made twenty times that amount in its first two days of release. Then again, films based on SNL skits have always been hit or miss. For every… Read More
Odds are solid that none of you actually saw 2010′s Tekken, a live-action adaptation of the long-running Namco Bandai fighting game series that, while not the worst video game to film adaptation in history, was certainly not what anyone would consider "a good movie." I had to watch the flick for review, and rest assured, you didn't miss much. It perverted the game's storyline, added an unnecessarily cliche… Read More
Since the entertainment industry's fight against file sharing began around the turn of the century, the line has been that downloading music or movies for free is "stealing," and that file-sharers are "thieves." Trade groups like the Motion Picture Association of American (MPAA) and Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) have pushed lawmakers and the public on their side using such a strategy. And the… Read More
Despite his cocksure swagger and undeniable appeal to unrealistically attractive women, the cinematic James Bond is 50 years old. The spy first hit theaters in 1962 in the classic Dr. No, where he was portrayed by Sean Connery — a role which would propel the Scottish actor into legendary status. In the five decades since, he has been reinterpreted by five other men: Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel… Read More
