Ben Affleck might be heading back to Boston for the Battle of BUNKER HILL
Ben Affleck 2.0 sure does love his hometown of Boston. Ever since upgrading himself from so-so actor to award winning director, Affleck has shown quite the affinity for the Massachusetts state capital, with Gone Baby Gone and The Town both being set there. And though Argo was set in Tehran, that’s sort of like Boston, just with less small arms fire and an …

Conspiracy Theory Tuesday – Signs
I liked Signs back in 2002. To me, that was the movie that first started showing chinks in the M Night Shampoo formula, but it was still a solid film overall. That doesn’t mean that it wasn’t without some stupid moments, but thanks to a pre-crazy Mel Gibson and Joaquin Phoenix as the film leads, at least the lunacy was …
Tom Cruise may be up for Guy Ritchie's THE MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E
One of my all time favourite directors, Guy Ritchie, has been far too quiet as of late.

Looks like being quiet and under the radar may have all been some solid practice for the director though, as he’ll be stepping up to …
Hugh Jackman will take SIX YEARS to figure his life out
Poor Hugh Jackman. The guy just can’t get a break. First he had his brain rewired while molten metal got pumped into his bones (not cool), then he got locked up just for being a hungry French dude and was then even forced to sing about it, and now it turns out that his whole married life was just one …
You're going to need every bullet for this first trailer for THE COLONY
Sitcom/Daytime soapie actor -> Small movie cast member -> Big movie co-star -> Big movie leading man -> Big movie cameo -> Straight to DVD leading man -> CSI spinoff. This is the unofficial actor’s lifecycle, the tail end of which Laurence Fishburne currently finds himself on. But it looks like he’s trying to claw his way back into relevancy, one …
David Goyer is planning a jail break and some revenge for a new COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
Revenge! It’s an underrated part of life, and oh so sweet when pulled off correctly. As Kervyn will most likely find out when he discovers that I filled his car with clowns. It’s most likely all thanks to cinema that we’ve got a mad-on for a spot of vengeance for anything that gives us a hard time in life. We’ve …
