I know that it doesn’t matter what I say up here, as you are all probably still going to click on this newly released trailer for Zoolander 2. I can point out that 14 years may have been too long to wait to make a sequel, or that the jokes – while pretty hysterical at times – are admittedly rather …

The Dark Tower is an epic work of fiction that took decades to realize. For a while there, it looked like that second part was also going to apply to its feature film adaptation. Stephen King’s fantasy book series is a daunting sprawling meta-story that incorporates characters and events from several of his other literary works, so it’s no wonder …

The internet was abuzz last night with what many thought was confirmation that Val Kilmer would reprise his role as Ice Man, baby! Yes, the steely and ‘almost as cocky as Tom Cruise’ character who was in the first Top Gun and who pulled more G’s than Ali ‘Aiit’ G will return! Awesome, right?

  If the news that the upcoming Furious 8 (or Fast 8 or, my personal old-school gamer preference, F8al Furious) is actually just the start of a new movie trilogy for producer/star Vin Diesel and his “familia” of crazy car stunt specialists, left you thinking that there are just too many of these damn movies, well then this latest nugget …

Talk about doing a double take. Memento, one of the best films of this century, has been optioned for a remake. Chances are you now already have an opinion about this and if you don’t… well, you’ve obviously never seen Memento. Last Updated: November 17, 2015
