J.R.R. TOLKIEN, C.S. LEWIS To Fight DRAGONS

If you didn't already know it; Tolkien, Lewis, and Charles Williams (War in Heaven, Descent into Hell, others) all attended Oxford at the same time and were friends.  The fantasy novel, "Here, There Be Dragons" takes this fact and runs with it, having the three friends traveling to mythical places as young kids who later reunite in college. David Goyer and others will produce the flick.Read more

JACKASS 2 Kicks Box Office, Jet Li's Ass

Jackass dropped its "Number Two" over the weekend (sorry).  The fellas performed extremely well, earning  a shocking $28m over an otherwise quiet weekend in movie theaters across America.

New BOBBY, DiCaprio's BLOOD DIAMOND Trailers

Emilio Estevez used to be kinda cool. Ok, almost kinda cool. In the eighties. He's directed before, too. Bad movies.  Bad shitty movies. But it sounds (and looks) like he might finally shot a good one. Dig the trailer to "Bobby" and to Leo DiCaprio's next, "Blood Diamond."
