Prince of Persia Trailer Splatters Browsers Everywhere
Nov 3rd
From the filmmakers who brought you a trilogy of movies based off of a ride at Disneyland comes a summer action flick based off a popular 80′s video game… Please contain your excitement as I will try my best to do so as well. Disney‘s big summer bash will be a feature live action version of the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (check the Bruckheimer-esque trailer below) with the lead character being played by a buff (CG enhanced?) Jake Gyllenhaal – often referred to as Donny Darko.
Am I cynical? Yeah probably, but I really can’t say that I’ve ever seen a More >
Feelin Kinda Homeless
Nov 2nd
So I’m back in Toronto now after a gorgeous week in Vancouver. I say gorgeous because in the entire week I was back in my own apartment, it only rained twice… Anyways, I’m kind of feeling homeless right now but not in like a sad puppy-dog at the shelter kind of way, nor in a gross dirty-begger kind of way. I’m feeling homeless because I just had a conversation with someone in the office where they asked me how my trip to “The West Coast,” went. I corrected him telling him I was actuall at “home,” then he proceeded to correct me More >
International Trailer for Avatar
Oct 29th
Morning all,
Before I drop this juicy new trailer from James Cameron’s Avatar, I want to make sure that if anyone out there plans on sharing this, they don’t use the word “Epic.” Personally, I can’t stand it when people use the word “Epic” to describe something. It’s simply retarded and that’s my gripe for this morning.
Anyways, have a look at the new international trailer from Avatar. It’s actually quite long and gives you a much better idea about the story and the style in which Cameron made this. A couple of notable faces are Giovanni Ribisi who, in my mind, automatically More >
Loving Castle’s Fan Appreciation
Oct 28th
Hey Kids!!!
Finally had an opportunity to check out the Halloween episode of Castle last night and laughed the left side of my ass off. Okay, maybe that was a little too graphic, but some of the lines that Nathan Fillion drops in this episode are simply grand. If you’re a Fillion/Firefly/Serenity fan then you’ll be able to sympathize with my joy when he pops out in his Halloween costume. Check the clip below and enjoy!
And now Nathan Fillion in a porno….
Don’t Do It Johnny 5!!!
Oct 27th
More terrible news in the world of remakes and lack of original ideas to come out of Hollywood. The latest victim? Short Circuit. If you remember back to when movies cost less than 10 bucks a pop and you thoroughly enjoyed them rather than criticized them, then you’ll remember a little flick called Short Circuit starring a Wall*E inspiring robot and that dude from Police Academy. A few terrible sequels later and the franchise was dead… Until now. Through some kind of zombie-like voodoo, Hollywood morons have decided to resurrect Johnny 5 for a brand new feature. Honestly, I’m not sure who More >
A-Team Finally looking like the A-Team
Oct 26th
Hey kids,
Just a quick one today. I’ve been offline for a couple of days and now that I’m back my inbox is flooded with mouthwatering news and pics from around the entertainment world. What’s in store for today? Well, I could talk about Astroboy‘s opening weekend flop. I guess I could also talk about the huge opening weekend Paranormal Activity had. And I suppose I could talk about some news to come out of the Arrested Development feature or the newly greenlit 4th Mad Max installment, but I won’t. Instead I’ll drop this gorgeous high-res image of the latest cast of the A-Team. More >
Got Midieval Last Night
Oct 23rd
Hey kids,
So as some of you know (all 3 of you who actually read this blog – thanks Mom) I was recently treated to an evening of chivalry and competition. Where do you go for such a well-rounded night of entertainment? Midieval Times!!!!!
The new work crew out in Toronto found out (okay I told them) that it has always been one of my childhood dreams to take part in one of the most ridiculous forms of dinner theater out there. We gathered together a group of 12 people, got a crazy discount and had a great evening. Normally I save More >
Spike And Kanye Ride The Wild Wave
Oct 22nd
Fresh off a huge opening weekend, Where the Wild Things Are director Spike Jonze reminds everyone that he’s not a commercial/studio filmmaker. I’m not saying the Where the Wild Things Are is a studio film (in fact, I haven’t even seen it yet ), but when you think Spike Jonze, the first thing that pops into your head should be his early work. He’s the creative genius behind some of the world’s greatest music videos and a couple of amazing features that can be considered a little “off.”
Well, released earlier this week, Spike went back to his roots and connected with hip More >
