 The year was 1997, the movie was Titanic. Made on a very high budget with two fresh, young leads and a director who had predominately given us some great Sci-fi, Titanic was hardly a sure thing when it was released. But unlike the historically epic-fail of a ship it was based on, Titanic went on to clean up at the Oscars and earn the highest gross of any movie (when not adjusted for in...

 Two weeks ago, I was cheering for Vikings. Needless to say, I was left with a taste in my mouth more bitter than year old milk. Yet, I'm still excited about the super that's actually going on as I write this post. Why? Well, I'll give you a hint. Its not because of the half-time show. I respect what the Who have given to music, but seriously, could we have somet...

 In 2002's Spider-Man, the Green Goblin gives this fantastic line:
But the one thing theylove more than a hero, is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. Inspite of everything you have done for them, eventually they will hateyou. Why bother?
No one would have guessed that this is exactly what would happen to the Spider-man Franchise. Despite bringing in millions of dollars, despite showing ...

 Generally speaking, this isn't new news. George Lucas has been talking about re-releasing the entire series in theatres and doing so in 3D since Revenge of the Sith came out. However, it wasn't until seeing Avatar and its magnificent use of 3D that he decided the technology and support is ready. After experiencing the immersion of 3D in Avatar, I can't help but think this has pot...

 For all my loyal devotees (of which I'm sure there are depressingly few), you probably first heard about Daybreakers in my post-summer movie preview. I was so in love with the trailer for the movie that I re-mentioned it when I talked about the Alice in Wonderland trailer. Truth be told, I like vampires...alot. I've been told on different occasions that I look vampiresque (made u...

 Remakes have been fairly common in hollywood for a while now. Truth be told, remakes go back a lot further than recent cinema (such as Scarface). It isn't till the past few years though that they have become downright hated by some people. I would say this is in large part due to the many crappy remakes we have had in recent year that add nothing to the original and if anything, ...

 If you are reading this and you're like what in the world is the Princess Bride, you disgust me just a little bit. But its okay because the nice thing about movies is you can always go out and watch them. You should probably do that. Heck, even if you have seen it you should go and watch it again. All refreshed on the Princess Bride? Good, you are almost ready to know...

 Merry Christmas and happy New Year everybody! Its pretty common for there to be a big movie release on Christmas day. What's crazy about 2009 is there were two big movies released just before 2009 ended. Avatar, the new James Cameron film opened a week before Christmas while Sherlock Holmes (starring the current king of cinema, Robert Downey Jr.) released on Christmas day itself....

 Despite the fact that this very morning I read the first Iron Man 2 trailer would arrive with Sherlock Holmes, it appears I was lied to. The very first Iron Man 2 trailer (undoubtedly the most anticipated movie of the coming year) has arrived. Surprise, surprise, it looks amazing. Heck, I'll go out on a limb and say it is going to be amazing. Sure, I've been fooled by seque...
