Responding to reports of a nascent boycott against the upcoming movie version of his beloved 1985 sci-fi novel Ender’s Game because of his stated opposition to same-sex marriage, author Orson Scott Card has released a statement exclusively to EW.

...

Ender’s Game is set more than a century in the future and has nothing to do with political issues that did not exist when the book was written in 1984.

With the recent Supreme Court ruling, the gay marriage issue becomes moot. The Full Faith and Credit clause of the Constitution will, sooner or later, give legal force in every state to…

 A lot of reordered stuff, and some new scenes we haven’t yet seen. A lot of boom and bang, a lot of monsters, and a lot of high stakes. Also, GLaDOS is still present! Does that mean that her voice will be just like that in the final film? It’s still kind of strange to me that such a menacing computer voice from one universe will be a neutral (presumably) computer voice in this one.

Well in any event, in just a few days, we’ll get a chance to see for ourselves whether this film is any good, because Pacific Rim comes out on July 12.

Well, it looks like they’re doing that thing where shaky camera and quick cuts takes the place of good choreography. But this is just one short sequence so maybe I’m wrong… I sure do prefer it when I can follow the action and I’m not confused by the editing and the shakiness. As it is, everything is moving so fast, both the speed and the cuts, that I can’t even tell what they’re jumping over. But, at least the music sounds interesting, right?

Obviously, we’ve already had a look at parts of this scene in the various trailers and teasers that have come out, this is obviously a bit more of a…

Fast And Furious 6 is probably going to be Vin Diesel’s most successful film this year, but that’s not keeping him from staring in another one as well this year. Riddick is a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick and I’m told that my film knowledge and education is sadly lacking in that I have not seen the first film, so I promise to remedy the situation.

I have to say the concept looks right down my alley, even if it looks like the execution is more about action than story.

Here’s the synopsis, followed by the TV Spot.

The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched…

So, according to a search, I have not yet posted anything about this upcoming film. I’m starting to look forward to it so I need to rectify that. In two weeks, Jeff Bridges — a dead guy — will be rounding up some up some dead, bloodthirsty, and evil spirits who refuse to move into the afterlife. I know, right?

It sounds like a crazy concept, and I was all prepared to congratulate the filmmakers on an original concept. But the Wikipedia entry seems to indicate that the film is based on a comic book so, never mind. Regardless of that though, it does look like a fun, and somewhat more…

Well, I can’t say that someone is holding a gun to my head and forcing me to post this trailer, but I wish that were the case, then I would feel better about the fact that I’m posting something this silly. But, you know, I feel like I should let you guys know about this film.

This looks so silly that I’m not sure I have any desire whatsoever to see this film. I never saw the first film for the same reason. I just went back and watched the trailer for the first film and I certainly remember why I didn’t see it. I feel the same way about this one. Still, if any of you crazy people are…

Lily Collins, actor in the upcoming fantasy flick The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, gives us a sneak peak at the upcoming fantasy drama. I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, this looks like the missing link between Buffy, and Twilight. Frankly, I’d kind of rather see the Sara Michelle Gellar (holy cow, can you believe Buffy is 36 years old now? Has a slayer ever lived that long?), and the Buffy scooby gang back together with high, world ending stakes on the big screen (Dear Mr. Whedon, where do I send my money to make this happen?), but I love fantasy so I’ll take what I can… Read The Rest

I’m finally getting the idea that Pacific Rim might be about people and not machines crashing it out. So much of the marketing material, trailers, promos and the like were geared toward big machines and mighty monsters crashing around, and there was no discernable evidence of a plot. More recently, the marketing has been shifting to focus on people and that makes me much happier. I didn’t want another mindless Transformers robot thing with different trappings.

Don’t get me wrong, the large scope, the machines, the crashing around is all still present, but that added human element to the…

Skepticism. That’s the one word that describes my state of mind in relationship to this film. It feels like they are trying to go for the same sort of charm as many of the Pixar films, and it certainly looks from here like it’s going to be a fail on that level.

I will be happy to be surprised and find out that it is good, but I’m not holding my breath. Also consider that these same filmmakers have put out Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda, so this film’s greatness is not guaranteed in my estimatinon. On the other hand, this is also the team that put out Shrek and Shrek 2, two pretty great…
