Call me crazy, but I’m starting to warm up to the once-infuriating Let Me In, the American remake of Swedish director Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 gemstone Let the Right One In, a creepy yet elegant meditation on a 12-year-old female vampire, Eli (changed to Abby for the remake), and her new socially inept boy pal, Oskar (now Owen). Similar to the frustration that [...]
20th Century Fox announced Tuesday that James Cameron’s mega-blockbuster Avatar will be released on Blu-ray on Earth Day, April 22, 2010, and in an effort to provide the highest possible audio and video quality, the Blu-ray will not come equipped with any special features, trailers or even animated menus.

Films like Ponyo are a nostalgic treat. It’s an odd feeling to experience but it was a joyous occasion to not have to sit through another over-polished DreamWorks or Pixar production. There is no doubt that both companies have achieved a mammoth amount of success and critical hit after critical hit (specifically Pixar ). They [...]

Indeed. The title? The Human Centipede, [...]
Now, according to Gandalf himself, Ian McKellen, we can count on the two-film production to begin in June.
/Film stumbled upon the first poster for the film at ShoWest, and I enjoy the simplicity of it, which captures all of the spirit of the novels in a nutshell.
While this is surely just a cash-in on the Twilight craze, the film is definitely helped by the fact that Heckerling is a pretty darn great director.
If I’m ever fortunate enough to scratch off a big-dough lottery ticket and I’m awarded an endless pool of money, here’s one thing I’ll do: Fund any damn movie that Paul Thomas Anderson ever wants to make. Not because it’d mean that there’d be that many fewer weekends polluted by another Robert Pattinson film, but for [...]
What’s that? A sequel to Kick-Ass? Already?
Yes.
While promoting the premiere of Kick-Ass at the SXSW Film Festival, its leads, Aaron Johnson and Chris Mintz-Plasse, said that story creators Mark Millar and John Romita Jr. have begun work on the second volume of the graphic novel.
