While searching on Yahoo! & Rotten Tomatoes, I saw that some of the reviews for Beverly Hills Chihuahua are out already and the big surprise is...
THEY'RE ALL POSITIVE.
What? After two of the worst trailers ever, you'd think this would just get as bad reviews as Disaster Movie or Meet The Spartans. But here are the four reviews that were put out for Beverly Hills Chihuahua on Rotten Tomatoes:
While it doesn't work particularly well on any of those levels, it…

The recent revelation that Sony Pictures is looking to shoot Spider-Man 4 and Spider-Man 5 at the same time didn't reveal whether Kirsten Dunst would rejoin director Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire for the films.
Now, Dunst has told MTV that she'll be back as Mary Jane Watson:
"I'm in," said the actress matter of factly. However, when pressed to make the announcement official, Dunst quickly changed her tone, and rather cryptically added, "I'm not saying anything, I know…

Once again, another great actor has been taking from us. Paul Newman, dead at 83, has had a number of great roles in his life and I say that it's best to look back at his 10 best roles.

1. COOL HAND LUKE

Just re-released on Special Edition DVD, the movie is without a doubt a classic. Who doesn't love the…

It is being reported today that LETHAL WEAPON 5 is a go, so long as Mel Gibson signs on. Gibson of course is currently off shooting EDGE OF DARKNESS. Shane Black, who gave man-birth to the franchise way back when, has penned a lengthy treatment for the movie that involves bringing in a couple of young NYPD cops. There's no word as to whether or not Danny Glover has signed on but I think it's safe to say he has since what the fuck else is he doing.

MGM has hired writer-director Steve Pink ("Accepted") to script a remake of the 1988 comedy "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" says The Hollywood Reporter.
Itself a remake of the 1964 film "Bedtime Story" with Marlon Brando and David Niven, the Frank Oz-directed 'Scoundrels' starred Steve Martin and Michael Caine as mirror-opposite conmen competing to scam money from a seemingly guileless American woman and banish each other from their South of France hunting…

Producer John Davis seems to think 20th Century Fox's Aliens vs. Predator is all washed up.
"I think we've logically done what we could've done with the two AvP movies. But I think there's something to go back to with Predator," Davis tells Collider.
If true, this, of course, eradicates those internal rumblings we had been getting within the halls of Fox about another AvP sequel. Hollywood is so fickle, it doesn't surprise us that the sequel…
