Review: The Other Guys
Coming out of Comic-Con the most immediate release that had my anticipation raised from attending a panel for was The Other Guys.

Part of me thinks that experience having raised expectations somewhat damaged my ultimate enjoyment of the film and the same goes with the advertising that has probably given away too much. While I found the movie to be quite funny it wasn't the c...

The '24 Frames' Blog is reporting that Dimension Films is in talks with Fernley Phillips to write the remake of An American Werewolf in London. Phillips was the writer of 2007's The Number 23. Maybe it's this nostalgia that's prompting Dimension Films to develop a reboot of "An American Werewolf in London." The Weinstein Co. division bought remake rights to the 1981 classic, which starred Naughton as a U.S. tourist who believes he's being hunted by a werewolf, from Landis in June 2009. ...

Quentin Tarantino May Direct ‘The Shadow’
Pajiba is reporting that Quentin Tarantino is being rumored to direct and co-write The Shadow. However, the person that is now attached to the project is none other than Quentin Tarantino, who is also attached as co-writer.

Inception Holds Off Schmucks For Another Weekend Victory
Inception keeps on rolling showing some terrific legs based on its great word of mouth. The Christopher Nolan film has won its third consecutive weekend at the box office. This time it outdid expectations by topping the Steve Carell-Paul Rudd comedy Dinner for Schmucks. The other two new openers, Cats and Dogs 2 and Charlie St. Cloud, performed decently but were likely disappointments for their respective studios who had higher expectations. Pulling in another $27.5 million was good enough ...
