So, whos inSuper 8? Okay, theres Kyle Chandler. You know, the guy fromKing Kongand TVsFriday Night Lights. Theres Elle Fanning, fromSomewhere. And then theres someone who used to be in E.R. wholl have you asking Is that …? when you realise who it is beneath the long hair and unkempt beard. Good enough for you? The truth is,Super 8isnt a film populated by movie stars. As soon as they can....
Andy really liked the Captain America movie a lot. Hell, I even likedGreen Lanternfor what it was. Except every one of those movies came with a but, a not quite perfect performance. The result is a film with a look, feel, and pulse that is unique and refreshing. You dont feel studio meddling here. No one can deny that Robert Downey Jr. owned as Tony Stark. Chris Hemsworth similarly impressed as Thor....
Its a beautiful day out here Green said. Im down in South Carolina working on this HBO show me and Danny [McBride] are doing. Is thatEastbound And Down? Ad content continues below Fantastic! There have been some rumours that this will be the third and final season ofEastbound. Is that really the case? Because I really like the gig. And the other thing youve worked with Danny McBride on, of course, isYour Highness....
Michael Douglas and Demi Moore set the box office alight in the adaptation of Michael Crichtons Disclosure. But has any film of the 90s aged as badly as this one? Also in the 1990s, Michael Douglas was riding high. It must have been an easy project to greenlight. Hot author, hot book, hot actor. Nothing could go wrong. Ad content continues below And, in the eyes of Warner Bros, it didnt....
Driving in the slipstream of Pixars big-screen feature comes the inevitable Cars 2 tie-in. Movie tie-ins dont have the best track record, and neither does Pixars weakest franchise. To be fair to developer Avalanche Software, its recent form in this area is pretty good. As the opening moments ofCars 2shift into gear, hope emerges. This tactic of passable imitation is deployed throughout almost every aspect of the game. Racing is all about boost and drift, with every car handling more or less the same....
Hes a time traveler, warrior, hero, and many things besides. James lists the ten varied aspects of the Doctor… The Doctor is, without a doubt, one of the most complex characters on television. He is both comic and tragic, a king and a fool. The Traveller The Doctor is like a gap year student who never quite stopped travelling. InThe Five Doctors, the Fifth Doctor was given the opportunity to become the president of the Time Lords....
However, the hybrid genre of the sci-fi western is nothing new. The feel of the film is, at times, more Raymond Chandler than Zane Grey. The post-apocalyptic subgenre of sci-fi lends itself marvelously to the themes of the western. Michael CrichtonsWestworld(1973),though,is aforgotten classic. In a futuristic amusement park named Delos, there are three resort worlds, Romanworld, Medievalworld and Westworld. Well, that is, without consequences until the androids malfunction. One particularly badass gun-slinging robot is played by Yul Brynner....
A rather more aggressive take on the fitness videogame arrives for the Xbox 360s Kinect. There had been casual games that could have been classed as mildly energetic dance mat games, anyone? Mostly, however, console gaming was a pretty sedentary pastime. Then along came the Nintendo Wii and, more importantly,Wii Fit. Well, in theory. I did, however, pick upThe Fightfor PS Move and that was… an experience. Ad content continues below...
Mike Judge’s Office Space may have failed to make much of a dent at the box office. But it’s endured as one of the best comedies of recent times. And, has Gary Cole ever been better? However, when the hypnotherapist dies mid-session, Peter is left in a constant state of numb euphoria. However, when everything inevitably falls apart, Peters perfect life quickly crumbles. Office Spaces cast is uniformly perfect. Despite being unrelentingly self obsessed, his enforced carefree manner is genuinely appealing....
Is Middle Men, a film about the rise of adult websites, this decade’s Boogie Nights? I, too, was pleasantly surprised by what the film had to offer. Theres a hell of a lot going on, but its held together by strong performances. The film deals with the first guys to charge for pornography on the Internet. Hes hired to help the guys make their idea a fully legitimate business. Unfortunately for Jack, along with the new venture comes greed, crime and women....
Heres how it went… I was going through your past credits, and one of them was for effects work onEraser! Youre the only person whos asked me about that! When they had the big fight? It was Steve Williams. He was an animator, and yeah, we did the crocs. [laughs] That was really fun, actually! A lot of your early credits seem to have that sense of fun to them....
The films so spoiled by talent it can afford to kill off Donald Sutherland after five minutes. Ad content continues below The films refreshingly coarse. Was that always on paper? Was that something the studio always wanted when you came on? I mean, theres a character named Motherfucker Jones. Theres just not a hell of a lot you’re able to do. Its a really R-rated movie, especially in the language and the themes....
Here’s James' pick of his most evil moments… The world of television is replete with evil. But all of these figureheads of malignity pale in comparison to one fat animated child. I speak, of course, ofSouthParks Eric Theodore Cartman. Like the majority ofSouthParkviewers, I revel in Cartmans malevolence. Returning to Mogadishu, Cartman gains the respect of some of the local pirates, who join him. He then attempts to transform them into a stereotypical band of pirates....
