Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale were in Pittsburgh to discuss the upcoming production of The Dark Knight Rises which shoots in the city through August 20th. Here is what Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale had to say: One production detail that leaked is that fake snow will fly Downtown to simulate winter in Gotham City, which was mentioned by Christopher Nolan. “When you’re making a large-scale action film that has to showcase the vitality and size of a large American city but also involves a certain amount of disruption to that city in order to make the action credible on screen” there needs to be a lot of cooperation from that city, Christopher Nolan said....

Ken Foree hates me, because I always bug him when I visit Comic Con. I love Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III, in which he beats Leatherface’s ass with a gas can. When I first came across him on the Con floor four years ago, I hadn’t yet made the connection that he was also Peter in Dawn of the Dead. He remembers me because I prod him every time I see him....

Before there was No Time To Die, there seemed to be no time to make the James Bond movie that director Danny Boyle wanted to make. While there is no doubt that the Cary Fukunaga-directed swansong of Daniel Craig in the role of Bond went out with a bang, the film had a pretty rocky time getting there thanks to the Covid pandemic, and before that the departure of Boyle as director during the earlier stages of pre-production....

The Good Jennifer Connelly proves once again that no matter what the material is she can rise above it. The Bad Another red herring horror movie that relies too much on fragmented moments and sharp sounds to create it’s atmosphere. Dark Water is one of those movies that gets a bit more credibility in some quarters because it was adapted from Koji Suzuki’s novel of the same name. Suzuki was also the writer behind The Ring and as we all know, both original movie versions of those films are quite respected....

Strange World, Disney’s latest animated feature, was released at the end of November with a poor box office performance. Some have compared it to the infamous Treasure Planet release. There are many reasons to interpret why the movie flopped, but most of them are related to aspects outside the movie’s concept. All in all, the film is one of many typical heartwarming stories about a family conflict that goes beyond their household, having to embark on an adventure that not only will put their skills to the test but will transform relationships forever....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness saw the return of some fan-favorite characters, and in the trailers, it looked like one of those returnees would be Chiwetel Ejiofor’s Baron Mordo. While the actor did appear in the movie, it was as an alternative universe’s version of Mordo, one who is Sorcerer Supreme and part of the Illuminati. This is a long way from the MCU’s version of the character, who was last seen in the post-credit scene of 2016’s Doctor Strange beginning a mission to rid the world of sorcerers....

In the 1990s, videogame characters were big business thanks to the launch of consoles such as the PlayStation that took games to a whole new level from the likes of the Sega Mega Drive and Super NES, and among the many colorful characters to come from the era one that still stands tall is Earthworm Jim.

We were recently invited to Hydraulx in Santa Monica, the visual effects company that the Brothers Strause have owned and run for several years, where I learned quite a great deal about Skyline. But first, we were invited into their posh screening room to take a look at some footage from the movie.

Lullaby is a unique kind of horror film, a genuinely scary but allegorically rich movie about parenting, faith, and mental illness. The movie meticulously mines rich minerals of horror out of folklore and ancient Hebrew stories in a way that’s seldom done, drawing on the mythology surrounding Lilith, the ‘first woman,’ to generate great unease. As a Jewish woman and her converted husband try to adjust to their new baby, they find themselves haunted by a demonic matriarch who was legendarily spurned by God at the beginning of time....
