Jack the Giant Slayer takes the tale of Jack and the Beanstalk and plays some very cool variations on it. It’s big, loud and flashy – but with a huge dollop of heart. It has nothing more profound to say than ‘have fun at the movies!’ If you check it out, you will.

Pixar’s Planes Casts Dane Cook as Lead!
Dane Cook will voice Dusty, the little plane with high hopes in Disney’s Planes. Dusty’s dream is to be a high-flying air racer – a dream complicated by his fear of heights. Planes soars into theaters on August 9th, 2013.
First Look: First Photo From The Amazing Spider-Man 2!
Sony/Columbia Pictures has released the first photo from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 – and it looks like a cover image from the comic book series.
Oz Clip: Touchy, Touchy
The man from Kansas has these sisters arguing. One has a fiery temper… literally! OZ the Great and Powerful 3D premieres on March 8th and I am (in keeping with the fire theme) stoked to see it!
The 85th Academy Awards – Aftermath!
Well, that was different. Seth MacFarlane brought some attitude to the Oscars® but was only intermittently successful. None of the alleged frontrunners dominated – other than the Best Picture award, Argo only nabbed two technical awards. For those counting, the most awards any film got was four, by Life of Pi (Director, three technical awards) […]
Full Oscar Winners!
Overall, I would say I’m pleased by this year’s winners – except Jennifer Lawrence. Show was horrible. Some pleasant surprises. Life of Pi was a strong movie (until the ending ruins it), so can’t say I’m really upset by Lee winning – just shocked. Liked seeing Django Unchained get some love. I think most of […]
Sparkly Vamps Dominate (?) 2013 Golden Raspberry Awards!
The 33rd Annual Golden Raspberry Awards were given out last night and – to no one’s surprise – the sparkly vampire saga dominated (if that’s the right word), taking all but three of the ten categories. I have to wonder what it’ll be like next year now that The Razzies won’t have the Twilight series […]
Sheldon’s If I Picked The Oscars® for 2013
Tomorrow night, the Academy Awards® will be handed out for the 85th time. Despite doomsayers, 2012 was a very good year for film – from blockbusters to the tiniest indies. I don’t like predicting Oscar® recipients and I’m not that good at figuring out what the Academy will honor (despite being in demographic of the […]
Catching Fire: Propaganda Posters From The Hunger Games Sequel!
It makes a weird kind of sense for the first character-centric art from The Hunger Games: Catching Fire to be propaganda posters celebrating the winners of the 74th Hunger Games. Poster #2 follows the jump.
Michelle’s Oscar Predictions!
For some reason I’m just not into this year’s Oscar race. But then I rarely am. Overall I think this year’s choices are miles better than last year, but out of all the really strong films last year the Academy could not have come up with a more predictable, bland selection of films. Not that […]
Michelle’s Bookcase! FilmCraft: Producing By Geoffrey Macnab & Sharon Swart
Contrary to popular belief, I do no how to read and sometimes I like to read. Sometimes I don’t just watch movies. I like learning how they are made or discover books that I think may become movies some day. So every couple of weeks I will give you a couple of books that film […]
