‘Karate Kid’ Remake?

Published on: 30th September, 2007

This rumor from IGN Movies has everyone upset. I haven’t heard of a single person that likes this idea…
According to them, there is a Karate Kid remake in the works at Sony Pictures with Will Smith attached to produce. And because he’s producing, he’s considering casting his 9-year-old son Jaden Smith in the [...]

Published on: 30th September, 2007

Former professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and his PG family movie The Game Plan stepped in the ring this weekend and welcomed all challengers. Also opening this weekend was The Kingdom, an R-rated action thriller set in Saudi Arabia. Tensions ran high, people.
Well, the two films circled each other in the ring [...]

The Kingdom Review

Published on: 30th September, 2007

The Kingdom kicks ass, but ehhh… fails to take names. Where it could have explored a relevant topic in current foreigns relations, it squandered the opportunity by oversimplifying a complex issue.
For example, I know Chris Cooper plays an FBI bomb tech because it says it in giant bold letters on the back of his [...]

Uwe Bolls Ruins More Video Games

Published on: 28th September, 2007

Director/Producer Uwe Boll has basically become a punch line when talking about movies. Arguably one of the worst directors of all time, he continues to take potentially decent video game movies and directs them right into failure.
His last three movies (all video game adaptations) were House of the Dead, Alone in the Dark, and [...]

Good Luck Chuck Review

Published on: 27th September, 2007

The worst part about Good Luck Chuck is that it tries way too hard to be funny. Unfortunately in its infinite efforts, it manages not only zero laughs, but to annoy anyone who gave it a chance.
I was told I’ve been too harsh on this movie and that I should give it that chance. [...]
