Noah Wyle is battling aliens
I just recently watched as the brilliant actor Noah Wyle wrapped his 15-year turn as John Carter on “ER.” It struck me that you really like that character. It was kind of sad to see the last episode, but in the same time I was tired of the whole concept. But still, Dr. Carter (Noah [...]

Ryan Reynolds jumps at indie project
Ryan Reynolds is by my standards highly underrated as an actor. Sure, he has done some bad career choices but haven’t we all… But when he’s good – he’s extraordinary. He can do funny and romantic (“Van Wilder“, “Just Friends” and “Waiting“). At the same time he can be extremely scary, intense and cool (“The [...]
Grisham makes movie deal for The Testament
When I first read about this I was a bit surprised because I thought all Grisham novels went straight to movie adaptation… Not being sarcastic or anything, I like his books and have nothing but good things to say about his work but… How many times have we seen, in the opening credits, “Based on [...]

The move came after Amy Pascal (Columbia Pictures) [...]

Friday the 13th II
I was over at Movieweb and they had just posted an interview with producers Brad Fuller and Andrew Form about their entire slate of upcoming projects. The biggest news to come out of the article was the fact that “Friday the 13th II” will take place in the snow. There’s something magical about Jason Voorhees… [...]

Wes Craven talks about Scream 4
One of my all time favourites, the “Scream” trilogy is creating a lot of buzz lately. Dark Horizons reports that director Wes Craven reveals his involvement in the apparent resurrection of the “Scream” film franchise is not yet set in stone.
