A Christmas Story 2

A Christmas Story 2
Screen Junkies

With relatively little fanfare, A Christmas Story has spawned a sequel, with Ralphie this time eying a car instead or an air rifle, which has the elements of a disturbing trend of materialism by the little imp.

No, no no no no no no no no. Please tell me this is a joke, a bad dream, not happening.

This looks like a truly horrible film.

 

‘Fringe’ Observer Warning Teaser

‘Fringe’ Observer Warning Teaser
TV Line

Fringe‘s latest Observer-centric teaser comes with a haunting message for anyone planning to rise against the fedora’d future-dwellers: “Heed. Obey. Serve.” — else be subject to a full cerebral scan, or (gulp) worse.

Press PLAY below for a first look at the PSA of sorts from the Fox drama’s fifth and final season (bowing Sept. 28 at 9/8c), and then hit the comments with your snappy judgements!

 

‘Monsters Inc.’ in 3D

Movie Line

I’ll leave the jokes about how Monsters, Inc 3D has a new eye-popping look to Billy Crystal and, instead, ask if you remember where your head was at in November 2001 when this Pixar classic was released. If you lived in New York City and had a young child (as I did), you were probably extremely grateful  for Monsters, Inc. because, even if your kid was too young to grasp what had happened at Ground Zero, you were not.Sitting in the cool dark of a movie theater  with my four-year-old and watching this funny film was a brief, welcome respite from the daily barrage of news reports about…

‘Hansel and Gretel’

‘Hansel and Gretel’
Slash Film

Last year Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton starred as adult versions of Hansel and Gretel in a film called Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, directed by Tommy Wirkola (Dead Snow). The movie has been delayed a couple times, but is finally set to open in January, thanks to Jeremy Renner’s increased profile post-Avengers and Bourne.

The first trailer for the movie has been released, and it looks a little bit like Army of Darkness, and a little bit like the old Japanese action/comedy/splatterfest Versus, thanks to the fact that much of the action takes place in nondescript forests. And then,…

Bones Season 8 Promo

Bones Season 8 Promo
TV Fanatic

A new promo for the upcoming season premiere of Bones offers some new clips and clues as to what’s to come. Like the first Bones Season 8 promo, it also shows us plenty of blonde Brennan.

One of TV’s most beloved couples clearly has its work cut out for it in the wake of this latest obstacle, but something tells us they’ll be able to pick up the pieces. Love can conquer a great deal.

This show has come dangerously close to jumping the shark more than once and its longevity is something of a mixed bag as far as I’m concerned. Still, it is one of the better shows on TV and I’ll happily…

Two New Fringe Promo Trailers

Two New Fringe Promo Trailers

Fringe is the best show on TV right now. And yes, I’m still sad this is the last season.

I am really cautiously excited to see how they end it though. I’ve been disappointed too many times by the ending of great television (*cough* Battlestar Galactica *cough*).

Here are the promos.

 

Why Would You Mess With Liam Neeson Twice?

Why Would You Mess With Liam Neeson Twice?

The original film Taken is the story of a retired CIA agent traveling across Europe. He relies on his old skills to save his estranged daughter, who was kidnapped on a trip to Paris to be sold into prostitution.

Human trafficking is a real concern that many people have yet to come to grips with. I know when I saw the original Taken film it was an eye-opener for me and many of my friends. We are far removed from the grim realities. Taken is the first film that made a big hit with general audiences that includes the subject.

It’s always gratifying to see a man’s man in action. Bryan…

‘Branded’
Branded Movie

When a sweeping global conspiracy triggers a worldwide pandemic of consumer gluttony and insatiable materialism, one extraordinary man steps forward to fight fire with fire in Branded, a biting, mind-bending journey into a dystopian future. When a sweeping global conspiracy triggers a worldwide pandemic of consumer gluttony and insatiable materialism, one extraordinary man steps forward to fight fire with fire in Branded. biting, mind-bending journey into a dystopian future.

While in a way familiar, this actually seems like a really different concept. It could be really interesting.
