Under Sam Raimi the Spiderman Trilogy grossed 2.5 billion worldwide. Raimi and Tobey Maguire decided to walk away from Spiderman 4 due to disagreements with the script and the direction Sony wanted to with the franchise. Apparently, there’s not too much reason for Sony Films Entertainment to think rebooting the series without its director and star will curb those numbers and their potential profits. Will fans care?
One thing is sure when it comes to cinema: Moviegoers hate the sight of humanity.
“Who is Dolph Lundgen?” she asked.
“He wrote, directed and is starring in this massacre of a film we are about to watch.”
Black Dynamite is a genius exercise in the reclamation of blaxploitation films. Written by and starring Michael Jai White the film is hilarious, juvenile, deliberate and ridiculously watchable.
Bad Blake is a drunk outgrown by the country western music industry that proffered his early rise to limited stardom. He is a broken down man driving a broken down truck from gig to gig in the deep southwest.
The Book of Eli stars Denzel Washington and is the next in a long line of Hollywood’s recent craze of post-apocalyptic films and one I was truly rooting for. From the previews and trailers this was a film that had all the makings of one of 2010’s best. Sadly, it fell somewhat short.
The Lovely Bones is a movie about murder and loss for stupid people.
Susie Salmon, a young high school freshman in 1973 is murdered at the hands of the creepy guy living down the block. As a result, she is left to wander the “in-between” a neutered and boisterously colorful landscape which apparently lies between heaven and earth.
What is there to say? Sherlock Holmes has gone swashbuckling and pit fighting. In this 2009 revisit to the iconic detective, Sherlock Holmes becomes a treat for the masses. There is action and mystery galore. Kind of.
America’s love affair with James Cameron’s big budget movies seems to be alive and thriving as his latest Avatar won best picture at the Golden Globes. The film made enormous strides in the visual effects arena created a CG world that looked all too real. For many a viewer and internet meme, however, the story was anything but original or innovative. It hasn’t really hurt the film’s box office numbers as Avatar is the 2nd top grossing December film of all time.
In response to Rush Limbaugh’s accusation that President Obama was using the Haiti Earthquake crisis to acquire future campaign information, Mogul film critic Roger Ebert slammed Limbaugh stating:
“You should be horse-whipped for the insult you have paid to the highest office of our nation.
Having followed President Obama’s suggestion and donated money to the Red Cross for relief in Haiti, I was offended to hear you suggest the President might be a thief capable of stealing money intended for the earthquake victims.”
Besides having one of the freest shows across the radio broadcasting market (which explains the wide listener-ship of Limbaugh’s show) the radio show host has made a living off of feeding the potential paranoia of his listeners. That Limbaugh would make such a claim is not surprising. That Ebert would slam his so forcefully over it, however, shows the political modality and fervor of Ebert.
