Studios get to recut film because they paid to make them. They own the film. Fans don't own the film, as much as they would like to think they do.

a lot of that happens when there's only a certain window of time you can get a lead actor. I've also heard movies starting to take advantage of expiring tax credits. To a lot of producers and studio executives, a script is just a treatment with dialogue, and not to be taken seriously.

World War Z always should have been a cable mini-series or, at the very least, an Altman-esque style horror movie, not another star driven apocalypse movie.

If you believe that they took a lot of stuff from H.P. Lovecraft's "At the Mountains of Madness", then the "why" is in line with the notion that the Engineers created mankind as a lark and that all our achievements and supposed superiority is nothing but the product of a joke, and, as such, could be wiped out for no…

I had an epiphany while watching Sucker Punch: Emily Browning in a little school girl outfit for 2 hours isn't enough for me to like a movie. I wouldn't have guessed that beforehand.

I always thought the "why" was deliberately left unanswered. Isn't that why the two survivors go out into the universe to try and find the answer to? I was more puzzled as to why David poisoned Charlie's drink and infected him. Maybe I missed it, but it seemed like a pretty random thing to do and all it did, story…

I was never a fan of this character, but this just looks awful. DC really has no idea what it's doing in Hollywood, do they? Once they lose Chris Nolan they're screwed.

I'm not one given to reading sci-fi, but Bradbury was always an exception. His movies were less about "science" and the speculative nature of the genre, than about how the future affected humans. Flesh and blood humans who had problems like us. That also extended to his vast wealth of stories and books that had…

I vacillate between Alien and Aliens. Right now, I'm on the Aliens bandwagon. I just saw it again recently and marvelled at how good it was and how Cameron went his own way and just got about everything right, even down to the subverting of the macho action hero. It just all worked, and still does. I've tried Alien 3…

#6: Well, they put Marion Cotillard's line right after that scene, so it's a good assumption, esp. if she plays Talia as has been speculated.

Gonna have to go cold turkey on anymore spoilers. Knowing a signature moment is that Bruce Wayne has to climb out of a pit like he wasn't able to as a child is enough for me until July.

Chris Nolan's movies aren't anywhere similar to Hitchcock (or Kubrick, as I've often also heard). He's more like Michael Mann. He essentially co-opts Mann's urban noir style that was used so effectively in "Heat". Even listen to the "Mombasa" track on "Inception" soundtrack: It's practically a rewrite of a track from…

Reeves was pretty good in that small movie that Sam Raimi made, "The Gift", where he played Hilary Swank's abusive redneck husband. He should play more villains.

I know Ford's come around in recent years, but it was pretty common knowledge he hated working on "Blade Runner" and disliked Scott's laborious working method. Though I imagine with how his career has been going the past 10+ years, Ford would like to be in a Blade Runner sequel, though he'd probably like it to be more…

His mother was killed by a vampire and an older man teaches him how to hunt them down? So it's "Blade" but with Abraham Lincoln? Got it. Whatever.

Seriously.

You missed a chance to bash Godfather 3 again?

I was looking forward to this movie until they released those 7 minute long clips and you got a better feel for the acting and dialogue. Not terribly impressed afterwards.

I work in Hollywood, and team up ideas like this float around the development offices all the time. Problem with this kind of mash up, and I'm pretty sure it's occurred to some screenwriter out there, is that general audiences don't know who Tesla or Lovecraft are, and combining them just doubles the work the PR…

Yeah, when they revealed that Ryan Reynolds was going to play Hal Jordan as a cocky, smirking guy who learns the true meaning of heroism (and didn't they throw in some daddy issue, too?), I knew it was going to be a bust. It just seemed like everyone got together in a story meeting and decided take what worked in Iron…
