SONY Pictures Gets High On BAD SEQUELS!

Road House 2 (yes, that Patrick Swayze bar movie), Hollow Man 2 (yep, the bad invisible man flick with The Bacon), and I Know What You Did 3 (this one's slightly more understandable, but still, a shitty franchise) are all in development at Sony Pictures. Clearly, the suits at Sony are wacked out on some sort of solution they huff.

MTV Visits TENACIOUS D Movie Set!

Yes, it's going to be a movie (Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny). Yes, Jack Black is producing and that means 110% of this flick will be Black being Black to the max.  An MTV bonehead correspondent visited with Kyle and Jack inbetween takes and came back with this quick promotional that, yes, includes a song. Thanks to Moviebox for the DRM-free MTV clip.

HARRY POTTER: GOBLET OF FIRE And THE ISLAND Sneak Reviews!

According to the sneaky geeks writing into Aintitcool over the weekend, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (opening in November) and Michael Bay's, The Island (opening in a few weeks), are decent flicks.  The geeks that wrote in seem to be both fans of both Harry Potter and Michael Bay flicks  respectively, so be wary, these could easily be studio plants (because we all know Michael Bay is an untalented ass). Read the "reviews" and watch the latest trailers for each film.

Steve Martin's SHOPGIRL & Indie JUNEBUG Trailers

Dig into the beginning of this fall's Indie-wonderland.  Shopgirl is an adaptation of Steve Martin's novella (that he adapted himself) that stars Claire Danes and Jason Swartzman and Martin. Junebug is the debut film from rookie Phil Morrison (being compared to Woody Allen and Wes Anderson) about a southern family that's, well, southern.  It costars the OC's Ben McKenzie.

Dtheatre Reviews WAR OF THE WORLDS!

H.G. Wells’s  science fiction classic The War of the Worlds was published in 1898, when England was getting a little uneasy about all the mischief Germany seemed to be up to over on the Continent.  In 1938, Orson Welles enacted a radio drama based on the book.  It ran as a mock news report detailing a Martian invasion of New Jersey. Once again, those Germans were making people nervous.  In 1953, Byron Haskin brought the book to film, adding the A-bomb and a lot of modernized scientific jargon to make us believe aliens could indeed invade, and there’d be nothing that could stop them. This time our fears were of the Soviet Union and communist ideology destroying our American dream.  Flash forward to the present and enter Steven Spielberg (the guy who used to make cool movies). Warning, this review is SPOILER-TASTIC. Review written by guest reviewer, Nat "The Grey."
