Abomination: The Brown Fury

This picture of the Abomination from the Incredible Hulk toy line (via CHUD) has already been around the sites, but we’re throwing it up today anyway because we still can’t get over how crazy it looks. For those not familiar with the comic book version of the character, the Abomination is green because he was [...]

Mutant Fish To Leap Off Screen And Bite Your Face Off

That’s right, Dimension Films’ remake of the 1978 horror classic, Piranha, is going to be released in 3-D when it hits theaters July 24, 2009. Or, it could be 2010 knowing the way Weinsteins hold back releases. Hey, 2010? Isn’t that the year we make contact?
The new film is going to be directed by Alexandre [...]

Ellen Page Can Go To Hell

Yeah, Ellen Page is set to be the lead in Sam Raimi’s upcoming horror movie Drag Me to Hell. With a title like that, it would seem that Bruce Campbell would be the perfect lead, but we’re getting Page instead. I’m just thrilled to hell that Sam’s doing another horror flick after all those dang [...]

New Star Wars Movie In Theaters

George Lucas said there would never be another Star Wars feature film in theaters, but he’s suddenly reversed himself. Sort of. This new Star Wars “film” is actually a couple episodes of his upcoming Clone Wars animated TV series smushed together to form a “feature.” So, you can either watch this in one lump — [...]

Roy Scheider, R.I.P.

Just want to post a quick note in honor of the (now) late, great Roy Scheider, star of one of our favorite films of all time, Jaws. Roy passed away on Sunday, Feb. 10 at the UAMS Medical Center in Little Rock, Arkansas. No cause of death was released, but the actor had been suffering [...]

Diary Of The Dead Rides The Third Rail?

This seems a bit odd. The Weinstein Company have gone ahead and created a third distribution arm of their company called Third Rail Releasing, which is in addition to the regular Weinstein name as well as their genre-themed arm Dimension Films. Ok, that’s not so strange. What I found odd is that the first film [...]

The Two Sides of Woody Harrelson

Woody Harrelson’s two sides are usually nuts and nutzoid. He’s really kinda been out of the public eye lately hasn’t he? Sure, he was in that movie The Walker last December and had that brief bit in No Country for Old Men. And, actually, looking at his IMDB credits list, it appears he’s been working [...]

Quantum Of Solace Poster Sans Title

Is it a bit telling that they’re not putting the title on the first teaser poster for the next James Bond film, Quantum of Solace? Click the picture to embiggen.

Michael Cera Is Revolting

He sure is. Look at that picture. Seriously, it’ll be fun over the next year or two to see which Superbad star — Michael Cera, Jonah Hill or Christopher Mintz-Plasse — becomes a bigger comedy superstar. My personal guess is that it’ll be a three-way tie.
Michael Cera, however, has his next big project lined up, [...]

Who’s Older Than Clint Eastwood?

If you said Warner Bros. studios, you’d be right. Clint Eastwood, the legendary actor/director turns 77 this year, but Warner Bros. is celebrating it’s 85th year in the business. To celebrate, they’re re-issuing all new editions of several of their classic films, but they’ve also produced a five-hour documentary on their history called You Must [...]
