‘Crank’ Directors In Talks For ‘Ghost Rider’ Sequel
The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor are in talks to direct Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Nicolas Cage is also negotiating to reprise his role as 'Johnny Blaze'. Plot details weren't discussed, and it's still up in the air whether or not the characters from the first film will return. Shooting for the film is slated to begin this fall. I think the choice of Neveldine and Taylor as directors is a good one. Even though Crank was over the top, I still ...

He has already turned down an offer to direct the Planet of the Apes prequel so whether he will decide to take on Deadpool remains uncert...

New on DVD: Week of June 14
It's another solid week for movie releases. The Book of Eli will probably be one of the more popular choices of the week. The action/drama received mixed reviews amongst critics, but still did well at the box office. A couple of other films I recommend checking out are Youth In Revolt and Unthinkable. Both at the very least should be rented. Here is the full release schedule broken up by standard DVD and Blu-ray: (more…)...

First ‘Predators’ TV Spot
The first TV spot for the upcoming Predators has been posted on Youtube. The footage in clip is stuff we've seen from the previous trailer. What I found interesting was the TV spot says the film has not yet been rated. I would think with all the blood, gore, and violence this would surely get an 'R' rating. Predators is slated to release on July 9th. ...

New Details on Transformers 3
So far most of the discussion around Transformers 3 has been centered on the casting. However in a new interview Michael Bay has laid out some expectations for the upcoming film. Among them: The movie will be in 3D. It isn't specified if it will be filmed in 3D or converted in post. This will end Transformers as a trilogy. Shockwave is the lead villain. Features the space race between Russia and USA. Less sophomoric humor. Hopefully that means less humping dogs....

Karate Kid Stuns With Huge Opening
The two new openers were expected to finish one-two at the box office this weekend but opinion was split on which one would come out on top. It ended up being a knockout as The Karate Kid exceeded all expectations and The A-Team came in closer to the level pre-release tracking indicated it would. Both reboots were questioned along the way but seem to have pleased audiences despite mixed reviews. Industry expectations had The Karate Kid and The A-Team finishing with around $30 million each. ...

Review: The A-Team
Other than Iron Man 2 the summer season has been filled with a slew of disappointing releases. Another film that would seem to have the potential to fall into that category arrived this weekend with The A-Team. The first theatrical take on the popular 1980s television series brings together a group of Army Rangers that are framed for murder and theft and set out to clear their names. Surprisingly The A-Team ends up being one of the more fun films to release in what has been a relatively dull s...
