I talked to my friend Regis Philbin a while back, and he said that he didn’t love the experience of voicing a cartoon in “Shrek the Third”, but liked being a part of a big movie. Well, according to IMDB, Regis will reprise his role as Mabel the ugly stepsister in the highly anticipated “Shrek […]
Traditionally, the Oscars have featured performances from all of the Best Original Song nominees. Last year, they were all combined into one musical number. And this year? No performances at all!. The academy has decided to just have the songs playing during brief clips of the films that the songs are from. Ridiculous, just ridiculous. […]
The 2010 Kids Choice Awards nominations are out. Here the movie categories: Favorite Movie: “Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel; “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, “The Twilight Saga: New Moon”, “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”. Cleary “Wolverine” is the shocker here. There are at least 10 other 2009 films I would have had as a nominee before […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! A new “Toy Story 3” trailer is out and is on the site. In the trailer, you meet a few new characters, and Ken and Barbie meet each other for the first time. They immediately show signs of love for each other. It’s also been announced that Barbie will take-on two new […]
Sony Pictures has announced that “Spiderman 4” will be in 3D. The release date is set for July 3, 2012. No big surprise here. I can’t imagine any major fantasy/action film not coming-out in 3-D from now on. Of course, the reported $80-million dollar budget for the movie will have to be raised. Sony can’t […]
Bad news for independent studio Imagi Animation, which is closing its doors due to financial problems. Imagi began in 2000, and produced both “TMNT” in 2007 and “Astro Boy” last year. “Astro Boy” was a bit of a flop at the box office which, apparently, led to the end of the studio. Imagi was in […]
As usual, movie studio used the Super Bowl to plug upcoming films. Trailers for “The Last Airbender”, “Wolfman”, Robin Hood”, Alice in Wonderland”, “Shutter Island”, “Prince of Persia” and “The Craizes” were seen during the broadcast on CBS (I think that was everybody). And there were other movie-related commericals for the new Harry Potter attraction […]
Let’s talk Oscar nominations… I’m glad “Up” got both Best Picture and Animated Feature nominations. Biggest surprise: “The Blind Side” getting a Best Picture nom. I thought “Fantastic Mr. Fox” (which is nominated for Best Animated Feature) or “Julie & Julia” had a better shot at it than “Blind”, but I’m still happy. “The Princess […]
The Oscar nominations are coming out Tuesday, and I’m hoping that “Up” will get a Best Picture nomination. Sandra Bullock and Meryl Streep will definitely pick-up Best Actress nominations. And there’s a slight chance that “Julie & Julia” or even “The Blind Side” could get a Best Picture nod. “Avatar” will probably get a Best […]
With Sandra Bullock winning the SAG Award Saturday night she takes a slight lead over Meryl Streep as the favorite to win the Best Actress Oscar. Or does she? Each of them won Golden Globes (Bullock in the Comedy category, Streep in the Drama) and they tied for the Critics Choice Award. Streep has dominated […]
