Director Baz Luhrmann has created a grand opus filled with shiny costumes, modern music, magical camera tricks, and classic style of early Hollywood film-making to bring to life once again F. Scott Fitzgerald’s beloved and iconic novel ‘The Great Gatsby‘. The film is over-the-top, lavish, and a bit flawed. But that is how the title character is after all. The feel and tone of the film is entrancing, as the visuals take is to the early 20s in New York, where we become infatuated with Gatsby and his American dream.

read comments (0)Interview: ‘The Sandlot’: 20th Anniversary with David M. Evans and Patrick Renna!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on May 14th, 2013
Hi, Bryan Here….
Thinking about 20 years ago to when I was thirteen years old and going with my friends, who we all played little league together, to see ‘The Sandlot‘ on the big screen. A film that would inspire us, makes us laugh, cherish our friendship, and love the game. I remember seeing it a total of five times in the theater, with each time getting better and better. And twenty years later, ‘The Sandlot‘ still holds up as seeing it for the first time all over again. And I had the honor and privelige to discuss ‘The Sandlot‘ and other things with the director of the film David M. Evans and actor Patrick Renna, who played Hamilton ‘Ham’ Porter a.k.a The Great Hambino.
Arnold Schwarzenegger In Talks For The Next ‘Toxic Avenger’ Movie!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on May 13th, 2013
Hi, Bryan Here….
I never thought I’d write this sentence, but Arnold Schwarzenegger is currently in talks to star in the reboot of Troma’s ‘Toxic Avenger’ film. This project will be introduced to potential buys at Cannes this year of all places. I didn’t think Cannes would take any Troma film. But it looks like this re-imaging of ‘Toxic Avenger‘ will be a big budget project. Steve Pink is taking the reins of the film. Pink directed ‘Hot Tub Time Machine‘ and will direct the sequel. This is odd, but amazing news.

Hi, Bryan Here….
Since we all can’t stop talking about Jack Bauer and the old hit series ‘24‘, Fox has heard our cries and is looking to bring back the super-tense series ‘24‘ back to television for an all-new season. This time it will be a limited series, most likely meaning only several episodes. And yes, Kiefer Sutherland who plays Jack Bauer on the show is in talks to reprise his iconic role.
Andrew Garfield to Star in Martin Scorsese’s ‘Silence’!!
by Gumbercules9000 on May 9th, 2013
Misty Here…
Martin Scorsese is finally getting his two decade long wish to shoot Japanese novelist Shusaku Endo’s novel” Silence” next summer. The cherry on this sundae is that he got “The Amazing Spider-Man” himself, Andrew Garfield to play the leading role. Ken Watanabe (‘Inception‘ and ‘The Last Samurai‘) has also signed on to star in this project, which will most likely garner attention from international distributors at the Cannes market, a first for Scorsese. The religious topic of this book/movie is very important to him from his aspirations to priesthood to his screen adaptation of Nikos Kazantzakis “The Last Temptation of Christ”.

Adam Scott Might Take The Lead in ‘Hot Tub Time Machine 2′!!!
by Gumbercules9000 on May 8th, 2013
Emily D., Here….
If you are as big a fan of Adam Scott as I am, then I have great news for you. With such credits as NBC’s ‘Parks and Recreation‘ where Scott plays Ben Wyatt, Amy Poehler’s colleague and love interest, or as Will Ferrell’s “successful” yuppie brother Derek in the movie ‘Step Brothers‘, then you are going to want to see ‘Hot Tub Time Machine 2‘. If it is anything like the first one, then you are in for a real treat.
