New Star Trek poster

Posted 17 years ago

It’s not often I can say I prefer “floating head” images, but this monochromatic, blobby vision of the Enterprise doesn’t seem like the best final impression to market the new STAR TREK movie. Isn’t Warp Speed supposed to produce all...

Scott is Unstoppable

Posted 17 years ago

It’s a movie about a runaway freight train loaded with combustible liquids and toxic chemicals. It’s being directed by the guy who made TOP GUN, THE LAST BOY SCOUT, TRUE ROMANCE and MAN ON FIRE. Is that something you might...

Maguire drives fast

Posted 17 years ago

Riding horseback and swishing through New York on a string of wrist-jizz hasn’t generated quite enough speed for Tobey Maguire, so he’s getting behind the wheel and stomping the gas. Maguire is going to THE LIMIT, a Columbia vehicle about...

Marvel gathers writers

Posted 17 years ago

Posted 17 years ago

Freida Pinto’s next

Posted 17 years ago

I’ll be a lot of you out there have been wondering what SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE’s unrealistically gorgeous starlet Freida Pinto would do next — perhaps dreading she’d get churned in the gears of the Hollywood machine. Not so — at least...

Diggs, Briem get Dead

Posted 17 years ago

Brandon Routh may have put away his Superman tights while Lex Luthor takes a break, but his new nemesis has a similar hairstyle (or lack of) and chews more than scenery. In DEAD OF NIGHT, Routh’s Dylan Dog will face...

Adventureland poster

Posted 17 years ago

I’ve heard positive word on the 80s-set coming-of-age comedy ADVENTURELAND, but also that it has more in common with movies like CADDYSHACK and FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH than director Greg Mottola’s last movie SUPERBAD. This new poster for the...
