Merrick here...
Early last month, Brett Ratner did an interview with MTV regarding BEVERLY HILLS COP 4.
A particular quote in the interview lead many to the logical conclusion that the new BHC project would have a considerably softer tone/rating than its predecessors.
When asked what is biggest challenge would be, Ratner seemed to indicate that his new film would be geared towards a very PG audience.

Brett Ratner is horny to make a movie centered around Activision's GUITAR HERO franchise.

The ever-humbling El Mayimbe over at Latino Review has the scoop regarding who looks to be directing the forever-in-development VOLTRON movie.
The guy's name is Max Makowski. Seems he made a splash with a movie called ONE LAST DANCE...

Sources for Bloody Disgusting are telling the site that Vadim Perelman, director of THE HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG and THE LIFE BEFORE HER EYES, is in "heavy" talks to direct the unwanted/unneeded POLTERGEIST remake.
You can find more details HERE.
I just can't wrap my brain around...
Fuck it. Never mind.

CNN has posted (and thoughtfully provided an accompanying embed for) a clip from Oliver Stone's "W. "
I know we've seen some behind-the-scenes stuff of Josh Brolin as "W", as well as some traielr material, but I believe (with a margin for error) this is our first substantive look at Brolin as Mis-ter Pres-i-dent.

When I saw the first trailer for this film a while back (HERE), I was surprised and impressed by...well...pretty much everything in it. Didn't expect much from a video game adaptation, and didn't expect much from hit/miss director John Moore.

Though Michael Bay didn't exactly go out of his way to placate the TransFans during the production of the first TRANSFORMERS, he did make one very wise concession: he brought back the inimitable Peter Cullen as the voice of Optimus Prime. Regardless of what Bay and his team did to the design of the character (I had no qualms with any of their alterations), it would've been wrong to hear anything but Cullen's baritone rumbling forth from the leader of the Autobots.

Hey everyone. Capone in Chicago here with a chance for you to ask James Bond (Daniel Craig) a question. I'm guessing that for most of you, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; it is for me too. In fact, I've got a whole series of events upcoming having to do with the latest James Bond epic QUANTUM OF SOLACE that I can't wait to experience and report back to you all.

Hey folks, Harry here... I don't know about you, but I'm an animation super junkie. I love classic Disney animation - and I'm insanely excited to be getting SLEEPING BEAUTY on Blu-Ray here shortly - but today I got the below press release announcing that we'll be getting PINNOCHIO, SNOW WHITE, FANTASIA, FANTASIA 2000 with DESTINO! and BEAUTY AND THE BEAST afterwards. Of course the bummer is that this announcement is their schedule of releases through 2010. But hey... at least we know the schedule! Here ya go...

It's really been sixteen years since Frank Henenlotter's diseased mind assailed us with BASKET CASE 3: THE PROGENY? How did he not rate an invite for the MASTERS OF HORROR series? Sure, the BASKET CASE sequels weren't quite up to the level of the first film, but BRAIN DAMAGE alone makes Henenlotter worthy of induction into the club. Maybe they knew he'd have Miike-like problems with the Showtime censors.

Hey, everyone. “Moriarty” here.
You know who’s a badass?
Quint. Quint is a gen-u-wine badass. That boy announced a column with a punishing publication standard, he started it, and he has stuck to it. Bad. Ass.
I am not a badass. I’m a distracted dad of two who is lucky he remembers where his computer is these days. Doesn’t mean I’m seeing less films... it’s finding the time to write about them inbetween other things that has become increasingly difficult.

"The big problem with this movie is David Hare's script."
That'd be a first. But if "dense" and "heady" qualifies as a "problem", then I think I know what our reviewer means. Hare's been making his name on "dense" and "heady" since PLENTY debuted at the Lyttleton Theatre in 1978. He's a brilliant dramatist.
