Disney introduces Disneynature, its first new label in sixty years, with a truly unique promotion. For every paid admission over the course of the first of its premiere film, EARTH, Disneynature will plant a tree. If, say, ten million tickets are sold, then ten million trees will be planted [that’s a lot of carbon dioxide […]

MOVIE REVIEW: I Love You, Man – Somewhere, Judd Apatow Is Envious!
The trailer for I Love You, Man is one of the funnier trailers to hit theaters in the last year. Some of its gags are funny enough to serve as the best bits of most comedies. In I Love You, Man, they are but a taste [I haven’t laughed so hard at a movie since […]

MOVIE REVIEW: Race to Witch Mountain, Good clean fun. Michelle’s Take.
I love Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, he has that “It” quality that makes me want to watch him no matter what he does. He’s moved away from the action role stereotype and has gone into the Disney Family movie. A move many muscle bound stars like Stalone, Vin Diesel and Arnold have tried and failed […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Race to Witch Mountain – Galaxies of Fun!
I have fond memories of the Witch Mountain movies of the seventies [though not so much for the TV version from 1995 – despite the presence of such cult icons as Vincent Schiavelli and Brad Dourif], so I approached this update/re-imagining with no little trepidation. Nostalgia can be a terrible thing. Race to Witch Mountain […]
MOVIE NEWS: Watchmen dominates BO, in other news the world is Round.
Who isn’t surprised by the fact that the Watchmen killed at the Box Office this weekend? Taking in $55 million clams. On the one hand I’m surprised it didn’t do better, but the other half of my brain is surprised it did so well, Watchmen always struck me as a very niche kind of thing […]
MOVIE REVIEWS: Holy Blueballs, Watchmen is brilliant but cold. Michelle’s Review
Watchmen has always been a weird project/phenomenon to me. I remember the first time I read the book when the first trade graphic novel came out. Even though I was an avid comic collector back in those days I somehow missed the single issue. And a lot of the folks that I hung around with […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Watchmen Is An Experience!
The world of Watchmen is one where an actual superman is the lone deterrent to nuclear war. Too bad he doesn’t care. The world of Watchmen is one where a retired superhero can become worth three times the net worth of the major automakers – combined – by selling a line of superhero-related items – […]
MOVIE NEWS: New Star Trek Trailer Now on Apple
This is one of those rare (sic) times when I want to complain about something. I’ve been part of the Paramount Star Trek Webmaster program for the last two years. The goal of the program is to provide a select group of webmasters exclusive access to all the news regarding the new Star Trek movie. […]
MOVIE REVIEW: Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li – Not The Worst Videogame Movie By Far
You think I’d learn. Every time I check out a movie based on a videogame, I’m let down – sometimes to an extreme [like with Max Payne, DOOM and the original Street Fighter movie]; sometimes by the tiniest of margins. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is one of the latter. Here’s a movie that […]
CONTEST: Watchmen Screening Announcement Coming!
Hey Everyone, I got tied up with Oscar stuff this weekend, so I didn’t get a chance to launch the Watchmen Screening Contest. Check out my twitter (http://www.twitter.com/eclipsemagazine) and facebook (don’t know how to send a Facebook URL) feed later today for the secret code to attend next Monday’s Washington, DC advanced screening. I’ll post […]
