Tom Cruise's innermost thoughts are known to no man, thanks to his religious intolerance of psychology, but what if someone were to get their hands on his secret set diary from Valkyrie? Why, Cruise's opinions on Nazis, the media and eyepatches would be laid bare! Check out the most entertaining diary since Anne Frank's at MoviesWithoutPity.com.
Man, there are a ton of sci-fi movies coming out next year, not to mention fantasy and horror. I just wrote up January through April, and it's already a pretty sizable list, including such biggies as Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li, the next Underworld and, of course, Watchmen. And I haven't even hit summer yet! Check out my list of this spring's genre movies at MoviesWithoutPity.com!
The Golden Globe nominees are out, and frankly, I'm a little disappointed. While the Globes are smart enough to have separate categories for comedic and dramatic performances in movies, they only gave one nomination to Dark Knight and no nominations to Iron Man, and those were two of the greatest movies I've ever seen. Why must superhero movies be treated like second-class citizens? The Globes' other oversights are equally unforgiveable, and you can read my lengthy list at MoviesWithoutPity.com.
The new X-Men Origins: Wolverine trailer is awesome! It's got everything I could possibly want! New mutants like the Blob and Deadpool! Logan all sideburned and angsty! An actual, trained actor playing Sabretooth! (Suck it, Tyler Mane!) That said, it's not perfect, but it's close! Go to MoviesWithoutPity.com and check out my five fave things about the trailer, and my five least fave.
I'm a little nervous about the bad reviews coming out for The Spirit. Of course, the trailers have made it look bad for a while, but I was willing to wait to see them all edited together before I made a judgment. I'm still going to see it, but I'm worried no one else will, because nobody knows who the Spirit is. (And now, thanks to this movie, they won't know who he really was, because this movie seems to take a lot of liberties.) I wrote a guide to the characters for Movies Without Pity -- check it out.
I don't know about you, but I really like Keanu Reeves. The Matrix, Speed, Thumbsucker, Point Break, Johnny Mnemonic, Bil & Ted, Freaked... Hell, I saw A Walk in the Clouds in the theater. But I can no longer like him, because he is not of this world. I used to think he was just a bit of a dunderhead, but now I know he's really an alien. The Day the Earth Stood Still has shown me the light, and now his super-secret set diary has revealed his plot to conquer the world and/or kill Kathy Bates. Check out his diary at MoviesWithoutPity.com.
Wondering what to get the movie buff in your life for the holidays? And by "movie buff in your life," I of course mean me? Then check out the Holiday Buyer's Guide I wrote for MoviesWithoutPity.com -- it's chock-full of awesome movie merchandise (mostly cool toys) that any movie fan would love to own. But mostly me. When you get to the end, check out the book guides I wrote, too!
Is anyone really that interested in seeing Punisher: War Zone? After being unable to make it through the last Punisher movie, this looks like, if not more of the same, exactly, then definitely more of the similar. More bloodshed is good, and Jigsaw as the bad guy is good, but why not mix it up with some of the Marvel superheroes, since they're all that separate the Punisher from every other revenge shoot-'em-up movie ever made? Check out my gallery of Punisher movie crossovers I'd like to see at MoviesWithoutPity.com!
I saw the new James Bond movie last night, and I loved it. I went in with low expectations -- thanks to a disappointed friend who saw it two weeks ago (while he was England, no less!) -- and was pleasantly surprised. The movie was the proverbial action-packed thrill ride, and made Casino Royale (which it is a DIRECT sequel to) look like a boring old card game movie. The director called it his "James Bond art film" but only if your art is death. Check out my review at MoviesWithoutPity.com!
I really have no idea how many people watch Primeval on BBC America. I probably wouldn't even know what it was if I hadn't seen a banner on the side of a city bus, and subsequently gotten in touch with someone at BBC America to get me some episodes on DVD, because I don't get the channel at home. But I'm glad I did, because it's a lot of fun, and probably has the biggest budget of any British television show, except maybe Doctor Who. The effects are pretty great, the actors aren't bad at all, and the stories are only mildly ridiculous. I reviewed the Volume 1 DVD set, with Series 1 and 2 on it, for TelevisionWithoutPity.com.
