The Redemption of 24?
When the new TV-movie 24: Redemption begins, television super-hero Jack Bauer is in Africa, helping out at a school for orphans and trying to avoid a subpoena that would summon him back to the States. However, this being 24, it isn’t long before a perfect storm of evil warlord
Happy Thanksgiving and News Around the Net!
The folks over at aintitcoolnews have posted something very cool — a slightly tweaked version of the new Star Trek trailer. It’s basically the exact same trailer, with one big glorious change made to the very last shot. This isn’t a fan-made hoax, this is a real
How to edit a movie, starring The Incredible Hulk
In the weeks before Marvel’s The Incredible Hulk opened this summer, there were a lot of stories on-line and in various entertainment magazines about a dispute over the editing of the film between Marvel and star Edward Norton (who played Bruce Banner). As the tale was told, N
Spend a Threevening with Kevin Smith & Robot Chicken!
I’ve seen some very funny movies in the theatres lately, but let me tell you about the two best pieces of entertainment that I’ve seen this week: Sold Out: A Threevening With Kevin Smith — Back in 2002, film-maker Kevin Smith (Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, etc…

Once Upon a Time in Appaloosa
I am not very well-versed in Westerns, but I do know that I usually enjoy them when I see them. When I heard that Ed Harris was directing the new Western, Appaloosa (only his second time directing, the first being the phenomenal Pollock), I was interested. The terrific cast —
What Just Happened?
Having recently read the book What Just Happened? by Hollywood producer Art Linson, I was naturally intrigued to find out that a movie based on the book was about to be released to theatres. (Albeit rather under the radar, as no one I know of has heard of the film.) Well, the film W
Dubya and his Daddy
Despite some terrific trailers that had me excited, most of the reviews I’ve read of Oliver Stone’s W. were decidedly mediocre. Nevertheless, I was very curious, so I decided that I needed to see the film for myself. And I’m glad I did — I found the movie
