It was announced that British actor Henry Cavill has been cast as Kal-El/Clark Kent/Superman in the Superman re-boot movie due out next year. I’m not filled with dread over the decision, by any means, but it is a little sad to see America’s greatest hero being played by an Englishman. That’s like casting a Scotsman [...]
Kevin Smith is coming out with a new horror movie soon. It’s called “Red State.” What does that title make you think it’s about? You’re probably wrong!
Day 7 So I FINALLY saw Avatar in glorious 3D! Now…I’m sure the movie has been discussed to death so I’ll save that for another day. (Although when the lady Smurf turns out to be the chief’s daughter, I was like, “WOW this really IS ‘Blue Pocahontas in Space’”) But here’s what I do want [...]
Tim Babb’s March Blog Madness: Day 30 So according to this article, Will Smith has signed on to star in TWO sequels to Independence Day. I guess they’re going to shoot them back to back like Back to the Future, Matrix, and Pirates of the Caribbean did (has that strategy EVER produced movies that most [...]
Tim Babb’s March Blog Madness: Day 19 I got the impression that a few people thought my previous blog about Back to the Future indicated that I didn’t like the movie or that I thought the temporal paradox made the movie less enjoyable…far from it. The Back to the Future series is one of my [...]
Tim Babb’s March Blog Madness: Day 16 Back to the Future is a classic piece of 80′s cinema. The sequels aren’t bad either, despite what those hammer heads at the Now Playing Podcast say. But the sequels don’t actually exist, because there is a sequel that we never saw…because it would be too depressing…I’m talking [...]
Tim Babb’s March Blog Madness: Day 11 In 1984, the final Muppet movie to feature Jim Henson was released. It was called “The Muppets Take Manhattan.” The story follows everyone’s favorite felt family as they go from college to New York to try and sell their play, “Manhattan Melodies” on Broadway (It is never explained [...]
Tim Babb’s March Blog Madness: Day 8 First off…sorry folks this week’s episode is a ways off I am busy and a little sick and the former is making the latter worse. I swear it will be worth the wait. (I’m quite proud of Noah and Andy on this week’s show) But last night was [...]
Unlike Andy, I enjoy a good chick flick. This, however, looks like a horrible chick flick… Even the trailer is horrible! I know we complain a lot that the trailer “shows the whole movie,” but this one totally did. Step by step to what is assuredly the ending! It is obvious to anyone who has [...]
I have recently gone to the theater to see “Michael Jackson’s This Is It.” It was a great movie. Not in the way that Casablanca was a great movie, but in the way that it was a chance to spend a final 2 hours with MJ watching him do what he did best: sing and [...]
