Once more into the celluloid informational highway! Yeah, just more film news. In this week’s “Mancini called it” story, it looks like Joss Whedon will be taking a larger role in the DC Cinematic Universe, and Zack Snyder a smaller one. The reshoots for Justice League are coming in at about $ 25 million dollars.…
I hate to jump on the comparative band-wagon, but Charlize Theron is indeed like the female James Bond in Atomic Blonde. Making these kind of comparisons can often, as in this case, over-simplify things a bit. But, if you are looking for a bad-ass spy film with a female lead, then I suppose it’s a…
Woody Harrelson – a great American screen actor – obviously has a bee in his bonnet about wishing he’d played Colonel Kurtz in Apocalypse Now. In The Duel (2016) he applied smatterings of cool water to his bald pate a la Brando as he portrayed The Preacher, a philosophical sociopath and the cult leader of…
It’s Comicon week! Huzzah! Let’s see if I can squeeze some news in this week! In this week’s “Memorial” story, the man who essentially created the zombie genre as we know it, has died. George Romero, director of such classics Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, and others,…

Now that we’re all partied out for congratulating ourselves here in ‘Murica, let’s see what’s been happening in film news. In this week’s “Unplanned plans” story, it’s never just one film anymore, it’s always milk it for more. Director Matt Reeves, who is helming The Batman, alluded to such a thing with this new incarnation…
If, like me, you’ve been already pissed about having Spider-man rebooted so quickly, resulting in too many films about him in a short span of years, then having yet another Spider-man film might make you a bit skeptical. However, the deal Sony made with Marvel to make this film has made ALL the difference, in…
As June comes to a close, we gots some more news for ya! In this week’s “I thought he retired?” story, the Oscar-nominated film Toni Erdmann is getting a U.S. remake already. And it’s going to star Jack Nicholson and Kristen Wiig. AND Lena Dunham and Jenni Konner are in talks to write it. They…
Music. It can enhance, accentuate, or transform. Writer/director Edgar Wright uses it to his advantage in Baby Driver. He’s made a film where music permeates every nook and cranny of his stylish, fun, and thoroughly entertaining new action/thriller. Baby is a getaway driver, but not exactly by choice. After he thinks he’s done, he discovers…
