NOTE: I might do a current movie release review now and then, hopefully at least once a month or two but I might review a movie if it’s been a month, otherwise, it’s going into the (Hy)Lights pile.…

Rating-F**K YOU!!!   Despite featuring the incredible acting talents of Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence, House at The end Of The Street is the clear cut definition of a dog shit horror film with horrendous acting and a dumb ass script. Why was this given a theatrical release…

I'm not sure how I missed that Universal was adapting Steven Grant's pulp comic '2 Guns' into a film, but I am excited. The film will be directed by Baltasar Kormakur ('Contraband') and stars…

The producing duo of Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks has proven twice in the past that they know how to create powerful WWII miniseries. Both…

Rating-(Low)Rental   Damn 20th Century Fox, can you possibly rip off Harry Potter any more? Speaking as someone who read the book, I will say the book is much, much better. Here they changed way too much, and not for the better. The basic plot is that one day Percy Jackson finds out that he is a demigod, he is being accused of stealing Zeus' fake ass lightning bolt and his mother his kidnapped by Hades. Now he must rescue his mom and find a way to clear his name.…

Grease up those chariot wheels, boys and girls, because we're getting a 'Ben-Hur' remake...sort of. MGM, the studio that has already slated for remake somewhere in the neighborhood of XXVI of its catalog titles, has begun planning a new…

Last fall, we learned that the long-gestating 'Y: The Last Man' movie was bumped up to a priority over at New Line. The latest draft of the script, which the studio was totally jazzed about, was penned by …

If you aren't familiar with Korean director Bong Joon-ho, correct this oversight at once. Seek out 'The Host,' 'Mother,' and/or 'Memories of a…

Rating-Matinee'     Now this movie might sound like the stupidest movie in the world when you hear its story: Abraham Lincoln basically grabs an axe and decides to go out and kill vampires. But believe me when I say that once you get past its stupid premise, the movie becomes so much fun.…

'The Great Gatsby' is one of my favorite novels, and I'm really trying to get excited for Baz Luhrmann's film version. The movie will star Leonardo DiCaprio as Gatsby, …

The biggest part of the magic of movies is its ability to transport us wherever it wants us to go as we willingly give up a couple of hours of our life to see worlds that none have experienced or seen before. 3-D is commonly used nowadays as a way to grab the audience and say that they can be that much closer to the…

When you think of the current lineup of actors who routinely make waves in action cinema, one name that will be understandably absent is Sean Penn. The award-winning thespian has, since his breakout role as…

Near the end of last year, it was announced that Warner Brothers was adapting the novel 'All You Need Is Kill' into a film. Tom Cruise was set to star with Doug Liman directing. Now we have our first glimpse of the movie via this,…

Remember that Lois Lowry book 'The Giver?' Sure you do, you probably had to read it in school. It's the story of a dystopian future in which the whole of human history, all…

For once, the actual author of the story set out to make his version of the story on film the definitive one! Not only that but Chbosky manages to convince anyone that his version of the story and its characters in this film should be the only version to be made. It's one of those rare films that…

For many years, over a decade in fact, there have been rumblings that the graphic novel 'Y: The Last Man' would be getting the big screen treatment. Yet somehow, nothing ever surfaced. Now it appears New Line, riding an enthusiastic…

Many of us were surprised when Gary Ross, the director of 'The Hunger Games,' opted not to return to helm …

Okay, I wasn’t ready dreading seeing this movie but the hype around it makes it seem like it was going to be the next book series that translates into a movie franchise that has success both critically and financially. Harry Potter & The Lord of the Rings was one of the few that first did that well into the 2000s, however, many have tried to follow them and some of them…

We've talked a lot about the live action remake of the 80s anime 'Akira,' and all the various headaches and disasters that befell that project. Well, if there was one other project that has faced just as many speed bumps and…

So I've finally gotten around to reading some of Marvel Season one and I got to say, it's an interesting update of the origins. I was privileged enough to read both of the Team books: FF and X-men. I'm also now reading the first of the second wave Ant-man. The art in both the team books is very well done for a graphic novel, nothing mind blowing alex ross level but nothing horrid Rob Liefeld level(though from the first few pages of Ant-man, I'm cautious as it appears to look very cartoon…
