When the original Rocky film was released over 30 years ago, who would have thought that anyone would still talking about it today, or that it would spawn five sequels? Well a guy named Stallone did, and because of his drive to never stop, (even in […] Continue Reading…

The three X-Men movies have made a bundle of loot worldwide, so obviously a studio like Fox is not going to let that cash cow just retire in the pastures. Instead of making another official X-Men movie, the idea was to just make a film focusing on the most popular character, […] Continue Reading…

Fatal Attraction made a big impact in the 80’s, and there have been multiple takes on it over the past decade. Hollywood loves a familiar formula, so it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that it will be re-invented every few years. The latest iteration […] Continue Reading…

I see a big future for Julie & Julia. I see TBS using it, ad nauseam, for “Dinner and a Movie.” I see lots of people (not all women) having a dinner-themed viewing party centered around the DVD. It does have this kind of appeal.
But I don’t see, other than money– see above– exactly why this movie was released. […] Continue Reading…
