Oscar Nom's Highlight Genre Filmmaking

Default

The nominations are in, monster fans. The Oscar’s are, and always have been, all about prestige. Normally, genre films and filmmakers are marginalized or, even more often, ignored. But as the industry continues its decades long shift towards making science fiction, fantasy, and other genres at ever bigger and more advanced levels, what was once… [Continue Reading]

7 Films Vie For VFX Oscar

Default

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the seven films currently in contention for the Best Visual Effects at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards. They are:

GI Joe Lacks Blockbuster Punch

Default

Unfortunately, GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra was not a good movie. After watching the horrendous trailers over and over again I had very little hope going into the theatre to begin with, and director Stephen Sommers (The Mummy, Van Helsing) didn’t deviate from his usual crappy-effects laden, bad story style we’ve come to expect from him. The Paramount release debut… [Continue Reading]

How the script even got approval from J.K…. [Continue Reading]

Four New Harry Potter Character Banners

Default

I’ve lost count of the number of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince posters to date, but I assure you there are no complaints on my end. If we begin to see any character-esque banners for Twilight or New Moon however, I cannot guarantee the safety of those around me. Now onto business. Cinematical has… [Continue Reading]

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Split at a Cliffhanger

Default

In another exclusive report from Empire Magazine, we have word from Daniel Radcliffe and franchise producer David Heyman, that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will indeed be split into two, and “at a very tense cliffhanger” at that! From Empire’s Interview (SPOILER ALERT!!): “We’ve played around with a couple of places,” said Heyman, “and… [Continue Reading]

Default

Character posters continue to be the craze for Hollywood’s big budget films. And Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince will be no exception. We have six new posters for the sixth entry into the franchise. The folks over at Latino Review pointed us in the direction of MSN, and we’ve compiled them below for your… [Continue Reading]
