Yesterday, the entire Indiana Jones franchise hit Blu-ray for the first time. Today it's being reported that 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' star …

Chills. I got chills watching this first trailer for Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln.' Daniel Day-Lewis' celebrated ability to disappear completely into his characters appears alive and well, and his words hit with the measured power…

Steven Soderbergh is a phenomenal director. In addition to crafting some truly outstanding films with impressive casts, the guy managed to make a movie about male strippers interesting. It didn't take long after the…

Let's face it, Superman is in a horrible place in today's society. He might be the original superhero and the classic example of what superheroes can be but like Captain America's deal in The Avengers, things have changed in the seventy or seventy-five years that have past us by as a…

Steven Spielberg never seems to slow down, gotta love that about the guy. He is currently hard at work on, among other things, his historical drama based on the life of President Abraham Lincoln. The film, 'Lincoln,' will star Daniel…

Chris Hemsworth ('Thor') may not have seen his greatest challenge in the Chitauri. …

A male stripper movie starring Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer and a bunch of other beefcakes taking their clothes off for all the ladies to see! Is that the movie that you'll get by the end of the night? Well... no. While there is a fair share of man ass in this sausage…

Back in May, it was reported that 'Contagion' scribe …

With all of the strikes that the film has against it from its very conception, it still manages to surprise the most cynical man of romantic films. It has Channing Tatum in it, who is clearly not the best actor working in Hollywood. The marketing campaign for this film is marketing it like a Nicholas Sparks movie when it's not actually based on a novel by Nicholas Sparks. It's "inspired or based on true events" even though the various details between the real life story and the film's…

I'm back this week for Episode 40 of the Podcast: http://playeraffinity.com/podcast.html. This week I join Steven and Simon for the following discussions:



- I get a chance to brag about getting the Les Mis casting right about Samantha Barks.

- Talk about the latest trailers: The Bourne Legacy, The Amazing Spider-man, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter and Iron Sky.

- The possibilty that Arnold…

Wow, big day for sequel news. First Michael Bay makes his 'Trans4mers' commitment and now …

This movie is exactly what you expect out of classic David Fincher but without that extra bit of magic that truly makes it a classic David Fincher film. With almost every one of his films, Fincher manages to draw a fascinating parallel between the film and the modern world and that always gives his films more weight than the average filmmaker. He accentuated the lethal dangers of modern crime and how it negatively affects our way of life in Seven. He made us question the validity of…

     After waiting for what feels like forever, at long last the BBC hit show continues. This adaptation of Sherlock was everything that is missing from the Guy Richie films : Sherlock is portrayed more as the puzzle addict, rather cold and dry detective with major sociopatic tendencies. I know that the RDJ version incorporated these aspects as well, but they…

DISCLAIMER: I would like to say that due to my unfortunate location and inability to see so many of the other big movies that came out this year due to time or place, these are the movies that I've seen this year and that I've enjoyed the most and were released this year.

10. Super 8. Despite the ending being a bit of a whimper, I must admit that this movie was such a great thrill ride of a mystery that pays a beautiful tribute to the classic Spielberg films…

First off, I'm not really familiar with the Tintin comics.  This was the first time I've been exposed to the story from this character, despite having seen the original drawings of Tintin and his dog Snowy.  And if we are to go by the old saying of "make a good first impression," then for a lot of people, this is probably the best introduction to the character I could imagine.…

Not long ago, a photo surfaced of Daniel Day-Lewis in his 'Lincoln' makeup eating in a cafe in the town where Steven…

For years, practically since the credits rolled on 'Jurassic Park 3,' the question of whether there would be a fourth film in the franchise has been rumbling like...well, the approaching footsteps of a Tyrannosaurus Rex. But…

Who would have thought that adapting a 60s spy television series to film would be so difficult? With movies being churned out based on everything from children's books to board games, you'd think a movie based on the once popular TV series…
