Fresh off the presses of Variety, reports of a possible Judd Apatow adaption of a Muppets movie, but to be on the fair side its actually Jason Segel and director Nick Stoller, fresh off their finished movie Forgetting Sarah Marshal.

A new trailer up, and after watching the inside look or the 30 as they used to call it, before movies start. Talking about Speed Racer with interviews from the cast, all had this to say, that the movie is very family oriented. Well to me it looks dark, so I'd like to see if there is more to the blue screen glory from the trailer.If anything Lost fans should check it out for Matthew Fox.

Just when you thought it was safe to go to a movie theater and not see another super hero movie( with the exception of Batman) we get a trailer for the Hulk, so far it looks like the story is continuing from where Ang Lee left off though there are hints of a refresh of the story being told. But are 2 big monsters fighting it out what the audience need to make this movie good?

If you haven't heard already, I hate to be the bearer of sad tidings, but it has been reported that Patrick Swayze has terminal pancreatic cancer. It had been reported that he had as little as five weeks to live, but his doctors are saying the timeframe has been exaggerated. Still, pancreatic cancer sufferers generally do not survive more than five years after diagnosis. It's so sad! I was hoping

The last decade has seen something of a renaissance of craft; a grassroots resurgence of folk arts and archaic methodologies. One of the more fun branches of this movement is geek craft; works celebrating the artist's love of video and computer games, classic sci fi, role playing games, etc. My favorites are those based on classic NES games, like the above Punch-out! scarf by Beatboxtaun. 8-bit

Assassin!First we start the episode with Sayid and a flash forward, which sets us up to believe that he's one of the Oceanic 6. On top of that he's up to his assassin tricks and looking bad ass as ever!Can I point out something without going to much side tracked? Has anyone ever noticed that everyone on the island is really good at whatever their profession is, for expample. Sayid is the most

I know, I know, you've heard it a million times, but once again there are murmurings that an Arrested Development feature film is in the works. Granted, these murmurings are coming from actors, specifically Jason Bateman and Will Arnett in interviews with MTV, and not from producers or writers. More from the AD team is always a nice little dream to dream, even if that's all it ever is, but would

In honor of our fav. holiday a website posted what they thought were the top ten couples in video games, not everyone is included like Mario and Peach but they are just a obvious couple so thats why I think they went with a different route. You can check it out HEREA science museum in Washington is showing all the ins and outs of Darth Vadors helmet so if you live in that area check it out, if

Last year my goal was to watch 200 movies I had never seen before. I don't know if that sounds like a lot, but it was a lot for me. Sure, it averages to less than 17 movies a year...but you go try it, ok? Anyway, I achieved my goal, wrapping everything up in a pretty little bow by seeing my 200th movie on New Year's Eve. Now I'm attempting to make my top ten list for 2007. It's a little different

Roy Scheider1932-2008 Many may remember him for his role in the Punisher but I will remember him for David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch. But we should all remember him for his great roles in Jaws, and Jaws 2. He was a great actor and I'm gonna miss him more than Heath Ledger.

News came around that Darren Aronofsky was working on a new movie entitled the wrestler, I was honestly a little ticked because I have always wanted to do a movie based on the life of wrestling seen through a up and comer and then the down fall since the movie would take place in the 80's when there was drugs just flying around. Its a thing not a lot of people know about and has until recently

First off we are treated to a nice opening right off the back it reveals that they found the ship and that all the people on flight 815 were dead a 1-800 number is show which if you call so I've heard actually works :) (BTW the number is 1-888-548-0034) we start off with a new character played by Jeremy Davis who I remember from CQ but the rest of you will remember him from saving private ryan.

We start off right off the back from our new season with a flash forward, and I'll be honest I was way excited for this episode. I mean they made us wait what seemed like years, and the intro almost felt hookey with all the car stunts. But after that we find out who is leading this huge car chase, and after that I was hooked once again.We get a flash back of the island and exactly what happened

Well where do I start? I think the best place to start is the beginning, and the story started like like most great stories start, with a book. The story goes that a man named John Rambo comes back home from Vietnam, but instead of a heros welcome he realizes that the land he defended has changed and turn against him. A true life realization of men and women in America only thing is, this is a

Ok if you are new to this whole franchise of the game then let me give you a quick summary. What would it be like if you could pit Mario against Samus from Metroid? Who would win? Well I'm sure it was on a lot of kids minds as they were growing up, Nintendo was thinking of news ways to re-invent itself and decided to make a fighting game, and came up with that exact idea and called it Super

P.T. Andersons new movie? Bloody Disgusting reports that, according to a trusted source, There Will Be Blooddirector Paul Thomas Anderson is planning to make his next film a horror movie. Most likely a contemplative three-hour horror starring an ensemble cast (including Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly, and Luis Guzman) who realize their tragic interconnectedness through a series of local

So this is my first blog and I wasn't sure what to post about. But decided after playing Animal Crossing recently to post about my DS, now I would normally give huge praise but I can't because of a problem with the DS.The problem which is now becoming more common thanks to places like Kotaku that report this sort of thing and now you could add me to the list now so here's my evidence for the
