Reasons to be Hopeful About "Man of Steel" (2013)

In response to all the negativity and captious rhetoric surrounding Zach Snyder’s newest Superman offering on some of the discussion boards, I proffer this brief list so that Superman and film fans alike may take heart.

- First of all, there is a Superman movie being made!!!

- Christopher Nolan is involved. This of course does not guarantee anything in regard to story or story-quality, but Nolan is a good filmmaker and his record stands for itself. And - - if nothing else - - Nolan’s clout with WB will ensure that the studio will not mangle the final cut of this film. Nolan is also a cerebral director by his nature, and his involvement in this film should indicate something about “Man of Steel” will bring with it an interesting and new take on Superman.

Podcast: Episode 33

writing the podcast post without having actually been there when it was recorded. As I was sadly in London on Thursday, I missed the podcast recording. Hosting duties passed over to Lewis, who is somehow more mature than Peter, and our very own Dan Lee did an admirable job of filling the extra space, particularly when it comes to imparting important knowledge about the Step Up series. He probably talked about games a bit as well, but it was the Step Up info that really drew my attention.

Brighton Rock

BRIGHTON ROCK. Running time: 111 minutes. NR (violence, profanity, sexual situations). At the Lincoln Plaza and the Angelika.

Graham Greene's guilt-and-gangsters tale "Brighton Rock" gets an even more melodramatic telling than in the 1947 film version courtesy of first-time director Rowan Joffe, whose histrionic adaptation screams "student film" with practically every frame.

Innocuous redo of a 1981 movie!

Cast: Ruseel Brand, Helen Mirane, Jennifer Garner, Greta Gerwig

Now, he faces his biggest challenge — choosing between an arranged marriage that will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the one thing money can’t buy, Naomi, the only woman he has ever loved. With Naomi’s inspiration and some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and finally learn what it means to become a man.

Madonna gets ready to cause a commotion in Venice

It seems strange to say, but Madonna may be struggling to find her voice. The singer's latest attempt to reinvent herself as a movie director has met with raised eyebrows and a certain amount of scepticism ahead of the world premier of her new film, W.E., at the Venice Film Festival.

We have been on this territory before. Her first foray into film-making was Filth and Wisdom, starring Gogol Bordello's lead singer, Eugene Hütz. The film premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2008 and received mixed reviews, commonly along the lines of "not as bad as we were expecting from the star of Swept Away".

China

bought $91.9-billion worth of U.S. goods last year, including boatloads of medical devices, precious metals and electrical equipment. But when it comes to America's most celebrated cultural export — Hollywood movies — crossing China's borders has proved more difficult than climbing the Great Wall.

After years of frustration with the Chinese government's severe limits on how many imported movies can play in its theaters, several prominent American film producers are cutting ambitious deals with Chinese firms that provide alternative routes into the country's exploding movie market.

Interview: Joshua Oppenheimer Talks Conan the Barbarian and Voltron Script | Shockya.com

Since his inception almost eight decades ago, the character of Conan the Barbarian has inspired countless different stories spanning across all manner of media, so it’s not really a surprise that the new Lionsgate big screen re-boot of the “Conan” film series would involve more than one writer. While Sean Hood polished up the production draft and worked with director Marcus Nispel, Joshua Oppenheimer, along with his writing partner Thomas Dean Donnelly, crafted the original framework of the story, and retains screenplay credit. Recently, ShockYa had a chance to speak to the screenwriter one-on-one, about the enduring appeal of the character of Conan, the absolute necessity of thick skin when working as a Hollywood screenwriter, and the state of one of his next big projects, the script for “Voltron.” The conversation is excerpted below:

But everything comes with a price, he has to take the drug frequently to remain in effect or else face the side effects and then you have others who are willing to risk more than anything to get their hands on the drug by any means whatsoever. Eddie realizing the threat he has dragged himself into and it is the same drug which is the only way out.

The real reason hypochondriacs drive doctors crazy

They're the butt of jokes on TV, but these patients have serious problems that our healthcare system can't handle Video

Hypochondriacs often provide comic relief in TV and film (see stubbornly bedridden Cameron at the beginning of "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" or Melman the anxious pill-popping giraffe in "Madagascar"). The doctor-patient relationship itself is also played for laughs: "Scrubs," for instance, featured a recurring character named Harvey Corman whom an irritated Dr. Cox greets in one episode with his incurable bite: "And what imaginary disease is ailing you this time, my friend?" For a physician, these sorts of patients are frustrating to deal with, but not because their problem is a joke.

Imagine my surprise when I turned on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 from Verizon to find access to not one, but two places to get movies and TV shows. Thanks to the 4G connectivity, you can even download the shows while you are on the go.

Reviews: LIMITLESS UK BluRay review

It's rare to see a film fumble its premise as badly as Neil Burger's Limitless. What starts as a slick, darkly ambiguous thriller with some wonderfully inventive visuals hits a tipping point once you realise Burger and his crew aren't interested in character development or getting their audience to think. This is Hollywood formula dressed up in a hastily-constructed moral dilemma that goes absolutely nowhere by the end, further hamstrung by the lack of a truly charismatic leading man and a pointless romantic subplot.

Wilmington on Movies: Rise of the Planet of the Apes

Rise of the Planet of the Apes , latest chapter in an old franchise, shows us a story we too easily forget, or maybe one that we never really knew: how it all began, how an imprisoned, persecuted and seemingly rag-tag army of CGI chimpanzees rose up, found their leader (our great hero Caesar), how they threw off their shackles, unlocked their cages, overcame their vicious keepers (including sneery Draco Malfoy, or Tom Felton himself), and then stormed through San Francisco, a unstoppable, swarming tide of apes unleashed. Yip!

UPDATE! The Batman: Crime Rising Fancast by Jazzywazzy!

So for those of you that have been reading my ongoing take on the Batman story, I decided to compile a fancast of who I would like to see play the characters in my story! Here we go! UPDATED with two different actor choices and an extra character!

I think that Bradley Cooper, known for his roles in The Hangover, The A-Team and Limitless would be a great fit for Bruce Wayne. He looks the part and he is a great actor. He is around the same age as Bale with an age difference of a year. I would be very happy if he was casted in the role if (sorry, when) Warner Bros reboot the franchise.

Movie Review: 'Apes' a first class prequel

'Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is first-class entertainment, packed with clever, unsettling and even inspired ideas. A well-crafted prequel to the long-running "Apes" series, it offers a few winks to fans of that cycle of films. Still, there's no background knowledge needed to appreciate this film's impressive accomplishments. It stands proudly on its own two feet, hardly ever dragging its knuckles.

Opposition to Natural Gas Fracking Heats Up

Public opposition to hydraulic fracturing is growing in the US and abroad as more people learn about the risks of the natural gas drilling process, known as "fracking."

New Jersey lawmakers have passed the nation's first statewide ban of the practice, which involves injecting water, sand and toxic chemicals deep underground to break up dense rock formations and release natural gas. There was strong bipartisan support for the ban - the state Senate voted 32-1 and the Assembly 56-11.

DVD Review: Source Code, Limitless, Soul Surfer, The Perfect Game and The Michael Palin Collection | Shockya.com

Science-fiction is often so terribly difficult to get right on screen because its makers get bogged down in minutiae, trying to craft expansive, futuristic and/or alien worlds, or over-explain the processes that differentiate and separate their plane of reality from that of the present day. “Source Code “, thankfully, is not one of those movies. It grooves, it pulses, it entertains — deftly balancing smarts with a streamlined aim to please.

Netflix vs. Redbox vs. the library: What's a film lover's best bet?

Having been a Netflix customer for almost ten years, I’ve enjoyed hundreds of DVDs starting out with their three-at-once rental plan, which was around $16 a month. Over the past couple of years, I’ve switched my plan a few times; once they started adding Blu-Ray discs into their catalog, I was all in. It seemed like a great plan to start renting as many Blu-Rays as I could (with an additional $2 fee added on for Blu-Ray access). It made renting some of the newer releases—without having to purchase them at retail stores for prices anywhere between $15-$30—much easier.

Source Code and the return of intelligent sci-fi to the multiplex

We celebrate the imminent DVD and Blu-ray release of Duncan Jones’ Source Code, a recent example of a film that marries intelligent sci-fi with big-screen spectacle...

Science fiction has been an important genre in filmmaking since its earliest days. Georges Méliès' A Trip To The Moon was one of the earliest and most pioneering, and marked the beginning of a long relationship between the genre of possibility and the moving image.

Paradiso perduto, Bradley Cooper:

Le riprese del nuovo film di Alex Proyas, che vedrà l’attore nelle vesti di Lucifero, inizieranno a gennaio 2012

Lucifero sta per arrivare sul grande schermo, le riprese di Paradiso perduto inizieranno a gennaio 2012. La data è stata resa nota dal protagonista del film Bradley Cooper (Una notte da leoni, Limitless), che vestirà i “diabolici” panni di Lucifero. L’attore, durante un’intervista rilasciata al sito Bleedingcool, ha dichiarato quanto segue: «Abbiamo fatto test in motion capture durante tutta questa settimana. É tutto pronto, i contratti sono firmati. Stiamo facendo i test delle attrezzature. Abbiamo filmato la scena in cui Lucifero atterra e parla ai suoi servitori. Alex Proyas (il regista del film, ndr) è magnifico, è tutto eccitante. Inizieremo le riprese a gennaio, non vedo l’ora. Ci stiamo lavorando da molto tempo. Ricordo che durante il tour promozionale di A-Team incontrai Ralph Fiennes e lui mi chiese cosa volevo fare, risposi: “C’è questo progetto, Paradiso Perduto. Voglio assolutamente interpretare il diavolo” e lui mi disse: “Allora lo farai”».

Trailer viral: le grand saut 2.0 | Slate

En mai 2011, une mystérieuse vidéo émanant des archives de l’Air Force américaine débarquait sur Internet. Datée des années 1960, en noir et blanc, elle montrait des scientifiques aux prises avec une créature extraterrestre. C’était en réalité la bande-annonce de Super 8, le nouveau film du wonderboy d’Hollywood J.J Abrams (Star Trek, Lost, Alias…), en salles ce mercredi 3 août. Une bande-annonce tellement elliptique qu’elle a rapidement alimenté toutes sortes de théories et de décryptages sur son sens occulte. On y reviendra. Le but, en tout cas, a été atteint: titiller l’imagination.

Robert De Niro & Bradley Cooper Eye Russell’s ‘Silver Linings Playbook’

‘Limitless’ co-stars Robert De Niro and Bradley Cooper could reunite for David O. Russell’s strange dramedy, ‘The Silver Linings Playbook’.

Scratch another potential Mark Wahlberg/David O. Russell reunion off the charts. It looks like the former won’t be re-teaming with his Fighter director on The Silver Linings Playbook , due to a scheduling conflict.

Geoff Cox’s guide to new DVD releases (03.08.11)

IT’S hardly a return to his glory days, but Robert De Niro offers one of his better recent performances in LIMITLESS (15: Momentum).

He plays a ruthless tycoon in a punchy and witty thriller about a struggling writer, Eddie Morra (Bradley Cooper), transformed by an illicit drug from a man crippled by self-doubt into a world-beater.
