When you hear of a film that has Steven Spielberg attached to it, you can automatically expect greatness because the director consistently delivers.

Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg Return For More Indiana Jones!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
There are some things in the world that immediately give you a sense of comfort. A favorite book on a rainy afternoon, catching up with a childhood friend that makes up more than half of your memories, and Harrison Ford at the cineplex. We got another shot of comfort in 2008 with ‘Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull‘ and again this last year with ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘. Now, we have learned there will be another Indiana Jones movie in theaters the summer of 2019!
Steven Spielberg Returning To Warner Bros. With ‘Ready Player One’!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Steven Spielberg is ready to return to Warner Bros. and he’s coming back in a big way! While the director teamed with the production company, we were the beneficiaries of the fruits of that relationship with excellent films from the 1980’s including ‘The Goonies‘, ‘Gremlins‘, ‘The Color Purple‘ and the final pic the partnership produced ‘A.I. Artificial Intelligence‘ in 2001.
Steven Spielberg and Jennifer Lawrence Team Up For ‘It’s What I Do: A Photographer’s Life Of Love and War’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
There’s been a project called ‘It’s ‘What I Do: A Photographer’s Life Of Love and War‘, which is a memoir by Lynsey Addario that has Hollywood clamoring to buy the rights for the big screen. It now seems that Warner Bros. has the upper hand and set to strike a deal with a highly bankable and talented team.
Here’s The Latest on Steven Spielberg’s New Projects!!
Rebecca S., Here…
There has been a lot of speculation recently about Steven Spielberg’s upcoming projects. Two of them will be for DreamWorks, and people have been curious as to which film he will tackle first. DreamWorks answered that question by announcing release dates for his next two projects. First, there is an untitled cold war, spy thriller, which will hit theaters on Oct. 16, 2015. Then less than a year later, his adaptation of Roald Dahl’s children’s book The BFG (The Big Friendly Giant) will open on July 1, 2016.
Roald Dahl’s ‘The BFG’ Has Steven Spielberg Attached To Direct!!!
Hello, Jana here,
Roald Dahl is a fantastic author that doesn’t get nearly enough mainstream credit. Film-goers have enjoyed his stories for years and most of us grew up with at least one of them. Favorites like ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’, ‘The Witches‘, ‘Matilda‘ and ‘Fantastic Mr. Fox‘ are a few examples of Dahl’s work that has been given a big screen treatment. Now we can add to that list ‘The BFG‘.
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks Teaming Up Again!!!
Hello, Jana here,
I’m like any other film-lover and I have favorite directors that I will religiously watch anything they turn out. I love the films of Joss Whedon, Cameron Crowe, Quentin Tarantino and Steven Spielberg among others. Spielberg took a bite out of fame with one of my absolute favorite movies of all-time, ‘Jaws‘ in 1975. Yes, another thing I love is a pun, no matter how bad it can be. Spielberg has far too many epic films to count without devoting a whole article to the greatness that is Spielberg. Some of the highlights are ‘E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial‘, the ‘Indiana Jones‘ films, ‘Schindler’s List‘…and on and on and on.
Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg Are Prepping A ‘Goonies’ Sequel!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Water slides. Rich stuff. Booby traps. One Eyed Willie. Yes, folks. We are finally getting a ‘Goonies‘ sequel that we have all been wanting for 20 years. Director Richard Donner and producer Steven Spielberg have just announced they got the green light from Warner Bros. to go forward with a sequel to ‘The Goonies‘. They have a script already, which was written by Garth Jennings. Jennings wrote and directed ‘Son of Rambow‘ and the recent ‘Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy‘ film.
Steven Spielberg Developing Stanley Kubrick’s ‘Napoleon’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Spielberg is a very busy man these days. Not only is he the jury president for the upcoming 2013 Cannes Film Festival, but he working on ‘Robopocalypse‘, ‘Jurassic Park IV‘, another war series with Tom Hanks, ‘Under the Dome‘, ‘When Worlds Collide‘, amongst several other big projects. Perhaps the most interesting is that he is not developing the dream project of the late Stanley Kubrick, which is ‘Napoleon‘.

Streep + Hanks + Spielberg = ‘The Post’!
The first trailer and poster for the film ‘The Post‘ is standing straight up. It’s a big deal, because it has Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep in the lead roles with Steven Spielberg in the director’s chair. That’s a powerhouse right there. The film will release on December 22nd, just in time for the holidays, but really, they want to get it in for Oscar consideration. The film releases everywhere next year on January 12. In addition to Hanks and Streep, the film stars Alison Brie, Carrie Coon, David Cross, Bruce Greenwood, Tracy Letts, Bob Odenkirk, Sarah Paulson, Jesse Plemons, Matthew Rhys, Michael Stuhlbarg, Bradley Whitford, and Zach Woods.
Dynamic Duo Of Spielberg and Hanks Releasing ‘Bridge of Spies’ October 2015!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks are together again. The team that gave us ‘Saving Private Ryan‘, ‘Catch Me If You Can‘, and even the slightly less than stellar ‘The Terminal‘ are coming together for a dramatic thriller set during the Cold War.
Spielberg’s Apocalyptic film ‘Robopocalypse’ Has Been Put On Hold!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Here is a bit of unfortunate news. Spielberg has been working on his next directorial effort on the heels of his award winning film ‘Lincoln‘, which is an “end of the world’ type of scenario called ‘Robopocalypse‘. That film has been put on an indefinite hold, according to a source close to the project. The film would center on the destruction of the human race caused by a robot uprising. And the film was an adaptation of Daniel H. Wilson’s novel of the same name.
Check Out The Trailer for Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
So we just finished the little Q&A with Steven Spielberg and Joseph Gordon-Levitt through Google+ where they answered people’s questions about the upcoming film. And they also debuted the full trailer for the film, which looks AMAZING. It will win Oscars. The trailer is below and comes out November 9th, which is my birthday. Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln,” a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery. With the moral courage and fierce determination to succeed, his choices during this critical moment will change the fate of generations to come.
Check Out the Poster for Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
I smell and see Oscar nomination all over this film. Daniel Day-Lewis looks amazing as our 16th president. Steven Spielberg directs Daniel Day-Lewis in “Lincoln,” a revealing drama that focuses on the 16th President’s tumultuous final months in office. In a nation divided by war and the strong winds of change, Lincoln pursues a course of action designed to end the war, unite the country and abolish slavery.

Check Out Spielberg’s Trailer for ‘War Horse’!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
Here is a film from director Steven Spielberg that “follows a young man named Albert and his horse, Joey, and how their bond is broken when Joey is sold to the cavalry and sent to the trenches of World War One. Despite being too young to enlist, Albert heads to France to save his friend.” Don’t know too much about it other than that. We will see. This comes out late this year. Plus get a hilarious snap judgement from our own Sparky Shagwell.
More Casting News On Spielberg’s ‘Abraham Lincoln’ Film!!!
Hi Bryan Here….
David Strathairn is the latest actor to join Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln’ film. David Strathairn was in ‘Good Night, and Good Luck’ amongst tons of other films. He joins Daniel Day Lewis and Sally Field. Lewis will play Lincoln and Field will play Mary Todd Lincoln. Strathairn will play William Seward, Abraham Lincoln’s Secretary of State, an outspoken abolitionist and a core member of Lincoln’s wartime cabinet.

Spielberg’s Next Movie Will Be……
Steven Spielberg’s next project he will direct will be “ROBOPOCALYPSE” which is based on an upcoming novel written by Daniel H. Wilson. The book is set to hit shelves on June 7, 2011 which you can pre order by clicking HERE.

Click the link/picture below to pre-order the book. I’m looking forward to reading this.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’!
‘Jurassic World‘ burst onto the scene as a sequel/reboot hybrid film that made over $1.6 billion at the box office. Of course, there would be more, but at what cost? ‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom‘ takes place a year or so after the events of the first film where the island where the theme park and dinosaurs were on are ravaged by an exploding volcano. Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard team up again to save the dinosaurs, however they are misled by a maniacal businessman who has other plans for the dinosaurs, mostly being selling them at an auction to warlords across the country in hopes of turning these dinosaurs into military killing machines with freaking lasers attached to their heads for a profit. I’m not making this up.
4K UHD Review: ‘Ready Player One’!
THE FILM
One of the most anticipated movies of the year is finally upon us with Steven Spielberg’s return to the fantasy/sci-fi realm in ‘Ready Player One‘, which is based on the pop-culture fandom novel from 2011 of the same name by author Ernest Cline. The novel was a best-seller and was chock-full of the 1980s and 1990s references in the form of video games, movies, TV shows, and more. in fact, every page of the book was like reading a nostalgic diary of your past childhood favorite things. ‘Ready Player One‘ takes places a few decades into the future where a simulated and very realistic virtual reality game is the main form of entertainment where people put on goggles and can be anyone or anything they want.
Podcast: A Fun Discussion with Filmmaker John Landis!
John Landis is one of those filmmakers that comes along once in a lifetime. The director has made some of the most iconic and most memorable motion pictures to ever grace the big screen. With films like ‘Animal House‘, ‘An American Werewolf in London‘, ‘Three Amigos‘, ‘Spies Like Us‘, ‘Coming to America‘, ‘Trading Places‘, ‘Blues Brothers‘, ‘Michael Jackson’s Thriller‘, and more are some of the films that came from John Landis.
4K UHD Review: ‘Jurassic Park 25th Anniversary Collection’!
THE FILMS
Presented here in 4K UHD are the first 4 ‘Jurassic Park‘ films, including ‘Jurassic Park‘, ‘Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World‘, ‘Jurassic Park 3‘, and ‘Jurassic World‘, which came out only a couple of years ago. Back in 1993, Steven Spielberg gave us the world of dinosaurs in such a moving, emotional, and entertaining way, that his first film ‘Jurassic Park‘, became a milestone in filmmaking and paved the way for a ton of creative minds over the next few years. With a mix of practical effects and state-of-the-art CGI effects, Spielberg and his crew of filmmakers created dinosaurs all over again, which became a huge phenomenon.
Dan Moran’s ‘Ready Player One’ Review!
“Ready Player One” or “I, Spy: The Movie” is a delivery vehicle for people who need validation through nostalgia. The problem is that despite how hard it tries to milk enjoyment out of its constant nods to pop culture, it fails to say anything that’s worth remembering.
‘Animaniacs’ Reboot Comes to Hulu with Two Season Order!
That’s right. The hit TV show ‘Animaniacs‘ is getting the reboot treatment and will air exclusively over at Hulu. The streaming giant is so confident in its return, it has already booked a two season order for new episodes, which will premiere sometime in 2020. It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years since we last saw a fresh, new episode of ‘Animaniacs‘, but it’s true – that was the last time we saw one. The original run lasted from 1993-1998 and featured Wakko, Wakko, and Dot on their adventures, which also taught young kids a thing or two.
Film Review: ‘The Post’!
When you have names like Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks, and Meryl Streep coming together for a movie, you expect something out of this world. That’s not really the case with this talented trio in their new film called ‘The Post‘. Don’t get me wrong, ‘The Post‘ is a good film, but like Spielberg’s recent movies in ‘Lincoln‘ and ‘War Horse‘, there is something magical missing. While the performances are all very good and the movie looks visually pleasing at all times, the script and delivery is a bit on the nose with emotion or lack thereof. Still, this is an important movie to watch in our current political climate as I imagine the true story it was based on back in the early 1970s, which paved the way and kept our “freedom of press” in tact.
J.J. Abrams Returning to Write and Direct Star Wars: Ep. IX!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
A week or two ago, there was a disturbance in the force as Kathleen Kennedy, LucasFilm, and Disney fired their Star Wars IX director Colin Trevorrow. You can read about that HERE. Turns out, the studio execs couldn’t handle having a big creative force behind Star Wars. The search was on for another director. Were they gonna go with another indie filmmaker with good credentials or play it safe like they did when they replaced Miller and Lord with the capable Ron Howard?
Close Encounters of the Third Kind is coming to 4K UHD!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
I’m so excited that Steven Spielberg’s film catalogue is coming to 4K UHD. On September 19th, his famous alien film Close Encounters of the Third Kind will be released with a new 4K restoration in a 3-Disc edition with all-new bonus features. There is a collectible Limited Edition Giftset that will have illuminated packaging and actually play the 5-tone song that the aliens communicate to Earth. There is a big booklet included too along with all three versions of the film, being the theatrical cut, the Special Edition, and the Director’s Cut.
HBO Announces Documentary Lineup For The Second Half of 2017!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
HBO has confirmed a diverse array of timely and thought-provoking documentaries for the second half of 2017, including: Susan Lacy’s ‘Spielberg‘, an intimate portrait of the iconic film director; Alex Gibney and Blair Foster’s Rolling Stone Documentary that is currently untitled; and Sonja Sohn’s ‘Baltimore Rising‘, a compelling behind-the-scenes look at a city divided in the wake of the 2015 arrest of Freddie Gray and his subsequent death in police custody.
Are you Ready Player One?
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
The Ready Player One trailer is here, which is based off of Ernest Cline’s hit pop-culture sci-fi novel and is directed by Steven Spielberg. This book is filled with movie and 1980’s reference, so it’s perfect that Spielberg chose to take this on.
The ‘Five Came Back’ Trailer is Here with All of your Favorite Filmmakers!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
Netflix is fixing to release a new Documentary series called ‘Five Came Back‘, which will premiere on March 31st. This series will be narrated by Meryl Streep and will feature in depth interviews with filmmakers, including Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, Guillermo del Toro, Paul Greengrass, and Lawrence Kasdan and is based on the best selling book by Mark Harris ‘Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War’. Spielberg is one of the show’s producers.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Poltergeist III’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
The original ‘Poltergeist‘ film was a perfect mix of horror and comedy. It had the minds of Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper behind it and went on to financial and critical success. Of course, they made sequels to make more money, but we’ve often seen that more times than not, these sequels don’t embody the spirit of the original and can come off quite bad. The original film spawned two sequels and a TV Series along with the recent horrible remake. ‘Poltergeist II‘ had its share of great moments, due to the amazing visual effects work and the whole family coming back to reprise their roles, but that’s not the case with ‘Poltergeist III‘, which is no doubt, the worst film in the franchise.
Blu-ray Review: ‘Poltergeist II’ Collector’s Edition!
Hi everyone, Bryan here….
THE FILM
It’s hard to compete with the first ‘Poltergeist‘ film. You had Steven Spielberg and Tobe Hooper behind the scenes there with an excellent mix of straight out horror and comedy. You would be laughing at Craig T. Nelson sucking in his stomach in front of the mirror one minute, and scared to piss and back at the clown doll attacking little Robbie. It was simply perfect in every way. Some four years later, the studio decided to make a sequel since the first film did so well critically and financially, and it was called ‘Poltergeist II: The Other Side‘.

Oscar Isaac of ‘Ex Machina‘ and ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ fame has been recently announced to join Rylance on screen, although we don’t know the details of his character.
Film Review: ‘The BFG’!
Hi everyone, Bryan here…
I’m just thankful that Steven Spielberg is not doing awful period pieces like his last films, including ‘Lincoln‘, ‘War Horse‘, and ‘Bridge of Spies‘. Yes, those films won Oscars, but I’m willing to bet you’ve only seen the once and will never see them again. I’m thankful and excited that Spielberg has returned, at least for a few films into his magical world of sci-fi, which he excels at. This time around, Spielberg is tackling the children’s story of ‘The BFG‘ or ‘Big Friendly Giant’, by the great author Roald Dahl (‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory‘, ‘Matilda‘, ‘James and the Giant Peach‘, and ‘The Witches‘).
‘Jurassic World 2’ Has Found Their Director in J.A. Bayona!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
It was no surprise that off the back of the success of ‘Jurassic World‘, that a sequel would be an automatic given. Now that sequel has a director signed on for his chance to bring a little pre-historic terror to the world. J.A. Bayona (‘The Impossible‘) has had his name mentioned more than a few times since he bowed out of the running for ‘World War Z 2′ last year, but it’s now finalized.
The Search For A Younger Han Solo Has Come Down To A Short List Of Maybes!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Lucasfilm and Disney are making some big announcements today. One being that M and Steven Spielberg are back for another sequel to Indiana Jones, you can read about that here. The next being that they are closing in on their younger Han Solo for their solo film about the Star Wars hero. They haven’t landed on an actor, yet, but they have a short list of three actors that have made the finals in the selection process.
Should Leonardo DiCaprio Have Won An Oscar Before ‘The Revenant’?!
Hey guys, Jana here,
I am a Leonardo DiCaprio fan. I’ve never hidden it, but I am. I wasn’t in love with him and his boyish good looks like other girls my age were, I recognized him from ‘Growing Pains‘, after all. He didn’t begin his career as absolutely gorgeous, that developed over time. I had to learn to love his work for what it was. Saying that, Leo’s been overlooked for that naked, golden, guy many times before he finally won his first Oscar at last night’s award show.
Tye Sheridan Takes the Lead in ‘Ready Player One’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
Ernest Cline’s book ‘Ready Player One‘ is one of the hottest projects in Hollywood right now. It promises to be one of the best Sci-fi films in a long time. It might be because that Steven Spielberg is directing it or it might be that Ben Mendelsohn and Olivia Cooke have signed on to star in the film too.
Hillary Thomas’ Top 5 Films and Best TV Shows of 2015!!
Hillary T., Here…
As a writer for Boomstick Comics, we are charged with going to see a lot of movies. I thought that this past year, I saw quite a few. Apparently, with the opening of the Alamo Drafthouse in Richardson, the movies I saw this past year weren’t all new. There were some that were classic programming at a new venue. What can I say? James Wallace knows that I like (“Sixteen Candles”, “Aliens”, “Big Trouble In Little China”, “True Grit”, and “Conan” just to name a few), but I did see a “Few Good Movies.”
Enjoy the first trailer for ‘The BFG’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
‘The BFG‘ trailer has arrived and looks quite good. This is a Steven Spielberg project, based on the Roald Dahl book of the same name. The BFG stands for Big Friendly Giant if you were unaware. The trailer is a tiny bit scary and mysterious, but looks like a fun adventure. Mark Rylance (‘Bridge of Spies‘) plays the giant with Rebecca Hall, Bill Hader, Jemaine Clement and Ruby Barnhill starring in the film. I can’t wait for this one. ‘The BFG’ opens July 1st 2016. Enjoy.
Sean Astin Showed He’s A Film Fan At Wizard World Comicon!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
My visit to Wizard World’s Comicon in Tulsa, OK would not be complete without getting into the Sean Astin panel. There’s just something about the Rudy Hobbit I’ve always loved. He’s one of the first movie stars to take my breath away in ‘The Goonies‘ and he’s still going strong! Love this man! I don’t understand why Wizard World did not use the Grand Ballroom like they did last year, the Assembly Hall worked out well for some talent, but Astin deserved the big room! It was bursting beyond capacity while we waited for him to take the stage and he was funny, sincere and everyone’s best friend, just like we all expected him to be. He slipped in and out of character reciting lines as Samwise, giving Doug’s legendary lisp some good use from ‘50 First Dates‘, he was amazing to see and worth the price of admission on his own.
Film Review: ‘Bridge of Spies’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
The year 2015 gives us yet another Tom Hanks/Steven Spielberg movie called ‘Bridge of Spies‘ with an added bonus of the Coen Bros. serving as co-writers. Now with a cast and crew like this, I expect something that would live on forever and win all the awards come award season. That’s not really the case here though, as Spielberg’s recent directorial efforts have been lacking a bit. I’m not saying they’re bad, I’m just saying that ‘War Horse‘ and ‘Lincoln‘ were long, slow, dreary period pieces with no real momentum, despite some awards and critical acclaim.
‘Bridge of Spies’ Trailer Has Landed!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
‘Bridge of Spies‘ is a historical, biographical, drama-thriller film directed by Steven Spielberg and written by Matt Charman and Ethan Coen & Joel Coen. It’s about a Brooklyn lawyer, James B. Donovan (Tom Hanks) and his being thrust into the center of the Cold War when he’s given a mission to negotiate the release of Francis Gary Powers, a pilot whose U-2 spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union.
Wes Craven – 1939-2015!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
I really hate writing these, but one of my favorite directors of all time has just passed away. He wasn’t known for having the best camera shots like Kubrick, nor was he known to make big budget blockbusters like Steven Spielberg. No, he was known for scaring the absolute hell out of us over the years with his iconic horror movies. This man is known as Wes Craven.
‘Jurassic World’ Blu-ray Announced and Detailed!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
One of the biggest films even made, actually the 3rd highest grossing film ever ‘Jurassic World‘ is getting the Blu-ray treatment in 2D and 3D. Not only that, there will be an option for a limited edition Collectible Steel Packaging with tons of cool extras and the best video/audio presentations that Universal has to offer.

The Collected Works of Hayao Miyazaki Will Be Released by Disney!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Hayao Miyazaki is a Japanese film director, producer, screenwriter, animator, author and manga artist. His career has traveled five decades and he has attained international acclaim as a masterful storyteller and as a maker of anime feature films. The success of his films has invited comparisons with Walt Disney and American directors Steven Spielberg and Orson Welles.
Walden Media and Jim Henson Pictures Team Up For Christmas Flick!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Two great family film companies, Walden Media and Jim Henson Productions, are joining forces to produce, and develop an original story about a rather nasty subject, a pagan demon who punishes wicked children at Christmas. Did I mention he has horns and looks fifty shades of creepy? They’ve gone with the title ‘Happy Krampus!‘ so they’re going to make it a family-friendly project with a live-action production.
Celebrate your July 4th Holiday with these Films!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
In the midst of family and friend get-togethers, 37 pounds of BBQ spare ribs, ten gallons of creamy cool coleslaw, floating in a pool, and setting off fireworks, while listening to Neil Diamond’s ‘America’, I also like to enjoy “that one night game a year”, meaning I love to watch July 4th inspired films. I usually do a mini movie marathon of them with the usual food and beverages that go with each film. I’ve done this the past few years, with one year, taking a break to do an all John Carpenter/Kurt Russell marathon. That was a lot of fun. But, for those of you who want to enjoy a movie or three over the holiday weekend, but keep with the spirit of the 4th of July, here are a few suggestions to keep you patriotic.
Nick Zano To Co-Star In Fox’s Adaptation of ‘Minority Report’
Hey guys, Jana here,
Steven Spielberg’s ‘Minority Report‘ is a little more than 10 years old but the storyline is being expanded upon by Fox. The original film saw crime as a future event and were able to arrest the criminals responsible before they carried out the heinous crimes and the TV series is setting itself ten years after the end of Precrime in Washington, D.C. and one of the three Pre-Cogs is struggling to lead a normal life, but is always haunted by the never-ending visions of the future.
Film Review: ‘Jurassic World’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It’s been 14 years since we’ve stepped foot inside ‘Jurassic Park’ and got to witness all the wonder and terror of the magnificent creatures called dinosaurs. I think it’s pretty safe to say that the first film has been the best in the franchise so far with parts II and III falling behind in terms of overall enjoyment. However, this new reboot of the franchise comes a close second to the first film, as it seems like a 14 year sequel to part I and forgetting the last two films ever happened, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
‘Brave New World’ Going To Series For Syfy!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Syfy is digging their boots into their plans to re-invent themselves in the image of the channel’s origins by going back to offering quality sci-fi programming. More space opera, less sharks in tornadoes, hopefully they continue offering random former TV stars as sacrifice though, that’s entertaining as hell!
Film Review: ‘Raiders!: The Story of the Greatest Fan Film Ever Made’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
There are a lot of good movies out there. Hell, there are even some damn near perfect ones, but there are only a small handful of films that fall into the legendary category. These films that have become legend only come around once in a blue moon, but when they do, they tend to hit an emotional cord and stick around forever. I’m sure we can talk for days about what movies fall into this category, but there is one film in particular that definitely belongs here, and I’m willing to bet dollars to donuts that you’ve never even heard of it, nor seen it. Reason being, is that I’m talking about a home movie here. That’s right, a home movie.
‘Gremlins’ Will Undergo A Remake!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Up next for the remake film treatment is one of my childhood favorites, ‘Gremlins‘. I grew up loving Gremlins, they start out absolutely adorable, but just like any horror movie from the 80’s there’s a strict set of rules you have to follow to survive. Instead of not having sex, you can’t get the precious Mogwai wet or you will likely die. In a horror movie you don’t split away from your group, but in ‘Gremlins‘ you can’t feed them after midnight, or you will likely die. I wonder if there’s a parallel universe and movies are the Mogwai, if you get them wet, they replicate a bad copy of the original, I’d say that’s the cause for the remake-hell we are living through.
‘Minority Report’ Casts Meagan Good in TV Series!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Fox is moving forward with their drama pilot ‘Minority Report‘, as a sequel to the Steven Spielberg-directed movie from 2002. The pilot was written by Max Borenstein and directed by Mark Mylod.
Check Out the New Trailer for the ‘Poltergeist’ Remake!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
We have been reporting for a while that there will be a ‘Poltergeist‘ remake. Now the day has come where we have a full fledged trailer. Bottom line is that it looks clean, good, with some good scares. On the other hand though, I couldn’t see the “New Vision” (as the poster describes it) in the trailer. It looks literally the same as the original, but updated with mobile phones and newer technology. Don’t worry, the closet, the man-eating tree, and the clown doll show up still.
Top 10 List of War Movies B.A.S. (Before ‘American Sniper’)!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
In the world of film, there are specific genres that stand out for me and one of those is war movies. I love different titles for a variety of reasons, the story, or even an actor, in this category there is one primary theme that ties each film together – heroes. Their outstanding courage is what gives us that lump in our throats and a swell of patriotic pride that causes us to lift these characters, real or imagined, to elevated heights. It takes a special kind of person to be a hero, I know I couldn’t do it, but I am eternally grateful for the men and women that take up that mantle and defend the lives and freedoms I hold so dearly.
‘Minority Report’ Greenlit for TV Series!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
We’ve reported before that ‘Minority Report‘ was being shopped around as a TV series. You know, the 2002 Steven Spielberg futuristic film with Tom Cruise and Colin Farrell. Well now Fox has just given the greenlight to this big budget project. Max Borenstein (‘Godzilla‘) will be penning the pilot at least and Kevin Falls (‘The West Wing‘) will serve as show-runner.
Scarlett Johansson Will Star in Live Action ‘Ghost in the Shell’ Movie!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
We’ve been anticipating a live-action film of ‘Ghost in the Shell‘ (one of the finer anime movies ever made), for quite some time. Over the past year or so, we’ve been reporting that this project is indeed gaining steam. Today, it was announced that Scarlett Johansson (‘The Avengers‘) will star in the film.
2015 Disney Film Release Dates With Trailers!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
While the world is focusing on auld lang syne and bringing 2014 to a close, Disney is pointedly looking to the future or “To infinity and beyond!” as Buzz Lightyear would say. Walt Disney Studios has given us a wide list of release dates for 2015 including the first Star Wars since the mouse has taken ownership. It’s a big lineup and will, no doubt, bring in a wega-payday for the company. In the last year, three films, ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘, ‘Maleficent‘ and ‘Captain America Winter Soldier‘ brought in over $700 million world-wide on their own. It stands to reason they can expect the same from 2015. Let’s kick it off with some animation!
Film Review: ‘American Sniper’!!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
This production sure has had its ups and down. Actor Bradley Cooper was cast as real life Navy SEAL Chris Kyle who is one of the most decorated SEAL in US History with a confirmed 160 kills in the recent war as a sniper. He is responsible for saving many US soldier’s lives. Shortly after Cooper signed on to star, David O’Russell (‘Silver Linings Playbook‘ and ‘American Hustle‘) wanted to direct, which would have made sense, because Cooper and O’Russell worked together before. But he dropped out and and Steven Spielberg signed on to direct ‘American Sniper‘. But yet again, Spielberg dropped out, leaving this project in limbo.
Hold on to your butts! Here is the ‘Jurassic World’ Trailer!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here…
It’s here. The ‘Jurassic World‘ trailer looks excellent. Steven Spielberg returns to executive produce the long-awaited next installment of his groundbreaking Jurassic Park series, Jurassic World. Colin Trevorrow directs the epic action-adventure from a screenplay he wrote with Derek Connolly. Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley join the team as producers.
Scorsese and HBO Re-Team For Montezuma-Cortes Series!!!
Hey guys, Jana here,
Back in January there was talk of Steven Spielberg and Javier Bardem heading toward a script written by Steve Zaillian. Zaillian expertly took ‘Schindler’s List‘ from a novel and created a sweeping, gut-wrenching film that was lauded by critics and peers alike. The script in question was to showcase the murderous history of Cortes and Montezuma. Neither Bardem nor Spielberg were officially attached to the project and if it is still in progress, it’s doing so quietly.
Bryan Cranston’s Broadway Turn as LBJ Being Sent to HBO Films!!!
Hi everyone, Jana here,
When you take a multi-faceted actor like Bryan Cranston, his many hats show throughout his career. You’ve got the spineless, browbeaten dad, Hal from ‘Malcolm in the Middle‘, the absolutely brilliant, frightening, genius that is Walter White from ‘Breaking Bad‘. Then you turn-around and he’s in the ‘Rock of Ages‘ musical whaling out Pat Benatar’s ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot‘. He does some fantastic voice-over work for animated productions. Remember the 6-episode of the animated version to ‘Clerks‘? Chances are if you’ve seen that, you’ve heard Cranston’s voice ( you also understand Jay’s saying “we steal monkeys all the time!” in a later film), but I digress. PLUS!!! Don’t forget that he’s a bad boy with the roller skates! Remember that episode in Malcolm where he had a big skate scene? That was really him doing it! He’s a renaissance man. The real deal. So it shouldn’t be such a surprise that after Cranston wrapped with ‘Breaking Bad’ that he went straight to Broadway.
Here’s The New Trailer for ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’!
Hi everyone, Bryan Here….
So here is the fourth film of ‘The Transformers‘ franchise from Michael Bay, who has basically rebooted his own series. And yes, Steven Spielberg is still producing to make a few extra bucks. But don’t count on Shia LaBeouf running around screaming in this one. Instead, you’ll have Mark Wahlberg (who was in Bay’s ‘Pain and Gain‘) trying to save the day. Hopefully there is a scene of him rapping and dancing. Nicola Peltz, Stanley Tucci, T.J. Miller and Ken Watanabe also star. You can expect a lot of explosions and chaos, but not much else. The film opens up June 27th. Enjoy.
James Cameron’s Deepsea Challenger Documentary Has Release Date!!!
Hello, Jana here,
James Cameron has made absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that he’s deeply inquisitive about the deepest points of the ocean. Anyone that watched ‘Titanic‘ could tell that it was more than a story about a 2-day love. It was an undying love letter to the ocean that Cameron loves so deeply.
‘The Goonies’ Sequel Is Finally Happening!!
Hello, Jana here,
I could begin this with ‘Hey, you guys!’, or ‘Goonies never say die!’ but that has been done. Seriously, if the joke is that easy, everyone is going to come up with it, and who needs another news piece spouting the same tag line? Turns out the paparazzi pick up more than just bad angled pictures. Director Richard Donner was signing autographs near the cameramen and one of them picked up the scoop that Donner’s next film is going to be a sequel to a favorite movie for millions of people – ‘The Goonies‘!! We’ve all been through the rumors that it was in the works and that a script was being or had been written, just to find out that it was making no real progress.
Film Review: ‘The Grand Budapest Hotel’!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
There are so many filmmakers out there that have given us amazing and iconic movies. From Steven Spielberg to Stanley Kubrick and from John Hughes to Danny Boyle, we have laughed, cried, and felt every perk on the emotion scale while watching movies through the years. However, some of our favorite filmmakers have lost their creative eye and ability to make quality films, while their movies earlier in their career won Oscars and pushed these directors to super stardom, but later in their career, their films have us questioning their talent while their films are met with very negative reviews across the board. It’s truly a sad day when this happens, and unfortunately it happens more often then I’d like to admit.
‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ Has A New Trailer!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We all knew that director Michael Bay was rebooting his own franchise ‘Transformers‘, and now we finally have a trailer for that reboot, which is called ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction‘. This Transformers film will continue with this fourth entry from director Michael Bay and executive producer Steven Spielberg. Mark Wahlberg and Jack Reynor will star. Not sure why the reboot, well I know why. “It’s all about the money, boys.” This fourth installment will be out on June 27th, 2014. Enjoy the trailer below.
The Director’s Bracket Championship!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
After 17 weeks, we have finally arrived with a the championship match and a winner for out infamous Director’s bracket. Back 17 weeks ago, we took a couple of days to come up with 64 of the best directors, and put them in a NCAA-style tournament bracket to see who would emerge as the best director of all time. We separated them into four categories, which were: modern filmmakers, dead filmmakers, genre filmmakers, and foreign filmmakers. Some fights ensued over the course of these 17 weeks, but we have all healed, and have picked a winner, which was a 3-2 decision. You can click the link below to see the bracket in its entirety. The final four were Steven Spielberg, John Hughes, John Carpenter, and Danny Boyle.

Disney Whips Up The Rights to ‘Indiana Jones’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Disney. Why did it have to be Disney? I kid. Well, it was only a matter of time before Disney got their mouse mittens on the ‘Indiana Jones‘ franchise. So let’s go down the list shall we? Disney now has Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and now Indiana Jones. Soon Disney will have everything, including all of the Ernest movies. Paramount sold the rights to the franchise to Disney today, which includes marketing and distribution deals. Recently, Disney bought LucasFilm, which means they have ‘Star Wars‘ now, but not ‘Indiana Jones‘.
‘Director’s Bracket Final Four’!!
Hi, Bryan Here…
Here we are with the FINAL FOUR picks of our infamous ‘Director’ Bracket’. Over the past thirteen weeks, we have set up a NCAA tournament style bracket with filmmakers, instead of basketball players. It’s been a rough thirteen weeks, narrowing down 64 directors. Well now, we have the final four, and it was tough. Friendships were lost, fights ensued, and blood was shed, but at least we got the picks, right? The match ups were between Stanley Kubrick and John Hughes, John Carpenter and Mel Brooks, David Fincher and Steven Spielberg, and Ridley Scott and Danny Boyle. Enjoy the show….

Fernando M., Here…
Last year, we saw two films tackle the darkest of moments in American History. Quentin Tarantino’s “Django Unchained” gave us a “what if?” historical satire that was a hit with critics and audiences alike. Steven Spielberg chimed in too with the also acclaimed, though incredibly white washed, “Lincoln,” which depicted the legislative maneuvering that underwent to abolish slavery.
Bill Murray Joins New Secret Cameron Crowe Movie With All-Star Cast!!!
Jana B., Here…
Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Danny McBride, Rachel McAdams, Alec Baldwin, Cameron Crowe and Bill Murray? If I asked you a week ago what these people had in common, some of you researcher types would probably find some connection besides, the new Cameron Crowe film that’s been announced. However, I’m focusing on the Crowe movie.

Jana B., Here….
Warner Bros. has picked up the rights to Wilson, the just-released biography of the 28th president by A. Scott Berg for Leonardo DiCaprio to produce and star. DiCaprio will produce the adaptation with Appian Way’s Jennifer Davisson Killoran and DiCaprio is of course attached to star as Woodrow Wilson. The book, which hit shelves last week, has received generally positive reviews for its intimate portrait of Wilson, who was elected president in 1912, guided the nation through World War I and suffered a stroke in office while stumping across America for the peace treaty and the League of Nations.

“They’re Here.” ‘Poltergeist’ is Getting Remade!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We’ve been hearing about a ‘Poltergeist‘ project for a while now. Seems like this undertaking has gained some steam and has some heavy hitters behind it now, which will be a reboot of the 1982 film, but also a sequel. Gil Kenan is on board to direct, which his big claim to fame was directing the 3D CG animated film ‘Monster House‘, which was followed by ‘City of Ember‘. But get this, Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Roy Lee from ‘The Evil Dead‘ films will produce this ‘Poltergeist‘ reboot.
This is What We Know About the XBOX ONE!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Microsoft unleashed a bit of info earlier today at their XBOX conference. Much like Sony did with their Playstation announcement a couple of months ago. Both companies decided to hold their own conference before the large E3 (Electronics Convention) conference which is coming up in a few weeks. Much like the PS4 event, some info was given, some was not. but rest assured, there are definitely some cool aspects to the new XBOX which is being called the XBOX ONE.
Hollywood Is Now Remaking ‘Gremlins’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
This was eventually going to happen as this project reboot has been trying get off the ground for a number of years. Well, the day has finally come to jump start this ‘Gremlins‘ project with the help of a little production company in Hollywood known as Warner Bros. Some executives have wanted to make a direct sequel where others have wanted to completely reboot the series from scratch. It looks like the latter won out.
Kathleen Kennedy Leaves ‘Jurassic Park 4’ for ‘Star Wars’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Producer Kathleen Kennedy has left the ‘Jurassic Park 4‘ production to work on the new ‘Star Wars‘ films with J.J. Abrams. Kennedy has been a producer for a very long time and has produced almost all of Steven Spielberg’s films amongst others. Movie Mogul Frank Marshall tweeted today, @LeDoctor: Ms. Kennedy has moved onto ‘Star Wars‘ and will not be producing ‘Jurassic Park 4‘. She’s traded raptors for TIE fighters.
Warner Bros. Is Trying to Reboot ‘Gremlins’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Warner Bros. is currently negotiating with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment to remake ‘Gremlins‘. Over the past several years, studios have tried to get a reboot green lit, but nothing has ever panned out, mostly due to financials and the rights to the film. Plus, we hear that Spielberg might not want to let it go without his named attached to the project. So what makes this time different from the rest of the past negotiations?
‘Schindler’s List’ Blu-Ray Announced and Detailed!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We finally get another Spielberg film out on blu-ray. This time it’s the movie he won the Oscar for, ‘Schindler’s List‘. It doesn’t look like there are tons of extras as I would have hoped for. I would just love a commentary by Spielberg on this, but we know Spielberg doesn’t do commentaries. But below is the full press release, which you can find out what all will be on the disc. Looking forward to seeing this in HD.
‘Argo’, ‘Django Unchained’, and HBO’s ‘Girls’ Win Big At Golden Globes!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
The Golden Globes were last night and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler killed it. They were amazing. Even former president Bill Clinton showed up to talk about Spielberg’s ‘Lincoln‘. Even though I really liked the film ‘Argo‘, I was shocked when it won best film and director for Ben Affleck. I was happy to see ‘Django Unchained‘ win for best supporting actor for Christoph Waltz and screenplay for Tarantino. If this is any pre-cursor to the Oscars, I’d be completely let down if ‘Argo‘ takes it all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great film, but not the best film of the year. I expect it to and want it to win the best adapted screenplay. Just my opinion. Below are the full results from last night’s show.
The Oscar Nominations Are In!!!
Hi, Bryan Here…..
Earlier this morning, Seth MacFarlane and Emma Stone announced the Oscar nominations, which MacFarlane came across as pretty funny. I’m excited for him to host the Oscars this year. And, his film ‘Ted‘ actually got nominated. How cool is that? Below is the full list of Oscar nominations. Let us know what you think. We will be posting a separate article soon on Oscar snubs, because believe me, there are many. And don’t forget, we will be doing our annual LIVE OSCAR COMMENTARY, which will mark the 6th time we have done it. It promises tons of laughs.
Christopher Nolan Might Have Just Found His Next Project with ‘Interstellar’!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
Well, I guess Spielberg won’t be directing ‘Interstellar‘ now. Since Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy his behind him now, it seems he has found his next film. The movie in question is a mega sci-fi epic titled ‘Interstellar‘, which we hear he is in talks to direct and produce. The story centers on a group of explorers who travel through a wormhole to other times and dimensions. At one point, Steven Spielberg was attached to direct, but now it is unknown if he will take on a producer credit only.
Here Are the Nominations for the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
The nominations came in this morning and needless to say, I went into a fit of rage. I mean I was so mad, I almost wrote a letter. After going through the list of nominees, while some of the noms were well deserved, many were not, especially in the FILM categories. There needs to be a serious uprooting process at the Golden Globes where everyone involved in voting needs to be replaced by others who know what they’re doing.

Mark Wahlberg Joins ‘Transfromers 4’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
We have been hearing tons of rumors today about Michael Bay casting Mark Wahlberg as the leading man in the next ‘Transformers’ film. Well, I guess it is official as of now. Bay announced the news this evening on his website. We have also reporter before that Bay wants to reboot his own series, instead of making a direct sequel.
Film Review: ‘Lincoln’
FedMex Here….
Steven Spielberg is one of the most respected directors of our time. Naturally, when it was announced that he would be directing a biographical film of Abraham Lincoln, we were all pretty excited. This excitement was further elevated when we discovered that Daniel Day-Lewis would be cast as Lincoln himself. To add to all those big names, throw in “you really like me” Sally Field, notoriously cranky Tommy Lee Jones (as Thaddeus Stevens), and super talented dreamboat Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and I mean, how could this possibly go wrong?
The CW Is Developing A ‘Buffy’ Like Super-Natural Series Called ‘Embrace’!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
CW is planning a big projet called ‘Embrace’, based on Jessica Shirvington’s recent book. CW has teamed with Amblin Television, Steven Spielberg’s company to adapt the drama series. ‘Embrace’ is looking to start for the network’s next season of shows and they are hoping it will draw as big of a fan base as ‘Twilight’ and ‘Buffy’.
‘E.T.’ Will Return To The Big Screen!!!
Hi, Bryan Here….
That’s right, folks. ‘E.T.’ will be on the big screen again, thanks to Turner Classic Movies and Fathom Events. Screening will take place October 3rd at 7:00pm at select theaters across the country. This marks the 30th anniversary of the film and most likely is geared to promote the new blu-ray coming out as well. This was one of the first films I saw in the theater and it just blew my mind. It was one of the first times my Dad and I bonded over a film. Needless to say it holds a special place in my heart. Not only will you get a newly remastered version of the film, but also a journey of the making of ‘E.T.’. And yes, folks, this is this original film, not the version with the extra scenes or the CGI’d walkie-talkie replacements. Spielberg acknowledged his fuck-up long ago and apologized. The same can’t be said for Lucas. I’m super excited about this and hope all of you can make it and take your kids to see this on the big screen. Official press release below.
Amazon Will Make Comic Book 'The Boys' into a TV Series from Seth Rogen!
