Jack Reacher is a Ghost

Jack Reacher is a Ghost

Well look at me getting right on top of the news. We’ve got a clip from the upcoming Jack Reacher film. It’s good stuff. This film is going to be awesome. I hope I’m not getting my hopes up too high for it.

 

Star Trek Into Darkness Poster

Still months away from its debut, and we’re learning more and more about Star Trek Into Darkness. Last week, Paramount released the official synopsis for the film, and now we have the first official teaser poster as well. Although we’ve been told that Into Darkness won’t be a rehash of The Dark Knight, the influence of the dark Batman franchise seems strong in the new poster.

Batman influence? Seriously? This is more than influence, this is a rip-off and it’s really annoying to me. What is happening to my beloved Star Trek franchise?

‘Fringe’ Finale Gets a Title
Matt Webb Mitovich - TV Line

The cast and producers of Fox’s Fringe gathered at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel in Vancouver on Saturday night to celebrate the Warner Bros. TV series’ 100th — and final — episode. And now we have a title for that ultimate hour.

“It is called ‘An Enemy of Fate,’” series boss J.H. Wyman shared with TVLine on the red carpet.

...

“It’s definitely the biggest season finale we’ve ever had,” Wyman promised. “It’s the most expensive…. It’s massive, really big. I wanted to go out like, ‘Wow, how did they do that?’”

Fringe begins it’s final run on December 7. This gives me a mixture of…

How ‘Thor’ Should have Ended

How ‘Thor’ Should have Ended

I know this has been online for a while, but I don’t always keep up with the “How it Should Have Ended” videos like I should — I mean really, I should keep up with them because I don’t think I’ve seen one yet that wasn’t hysterical. It’s espeically hysterical on movies that had you scratching your head already, like Thor did for me.

 

Five Clips from Upcoming Les Misérables

Five Clips from Upcoming Les Misérables

We’re in the home stretch for the Les Mis promotion campaign now. Here are five recently released clips from the upcoming film — the biggest taste we have had so far.

I don’t know if a full on music production is going to be my thing or not, but my wife is a big fan and she’s super excited to see it in theater this Christmas. And I’m certainly looking forward to seeing it as well in any event.

Enjoy the teaser:

 

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter — Review

3.5 of 5 stars
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

You thought you knew him. America’s 16th President. The Great Emancipator. Writer of the Gettysburg Address. Wearer of top hat and chin curtain beard. But as he declares in opening lines of this “However history remembers me, if it remembers me at all, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth.”

The rest of the truth is this — Honest Abe was a vampire hunter, driven to action by his mother’s death at the hands (or should I say teeth) of the undead. Bet you didn’t learn that in history class.

And before we go any further, I may as well make an introduction: Abraham Van Helsing, meet…

‘Revenge of the Sith’ as Great Work of Art

‘Revenge of the Sith’ as Great Work of Art
Bleeding Cool

Yes, the long finale of Revenge of the Sith has more inherent artistic value, emotional power, and global impact than anything by the artists you name. It’s because the art world has flat-lined and become an echo chamber of received opinion and toxic over-praise. It’s like the emperor’s new clothes—people are too intimidated to admit what they secretly think or what they might think with their blinders off.

Uh, what?!?

Lucas called this fierce fight [at the climax of Sith] between Anakin Skywalker and his Jedi master Obi-Wan Kenobi “the turning point of the whole series.” Fire…
