The idea of a movie revolving around the making of Psycho is certainly an intriguing one, made better by the fantastic cast that was involved, with a wonderful looking Anthony Hopkins in the guise of the Master of Suspense. That is not exactly what I got, but what I liked about this movie, is how [...]
On March 12, Fox Home Entertainment is releasing both the film, Hitchcock, starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren, along with a classic collection of Alfred Hitchcock’s films, which are being released onto Blu-ray in a 3-disc set. This collection includes Notorious, Rebecca, and Spellbound. Hitchcock was met with some criticism regarding the film’s plotting and style [...]
Among the people that I would offhand list as my favorite directors, Alfred Hitchcock would be one of them. The movie I regard as my favorite horror movie (let alone a favorite movie of mine in general) is Psycho. The idea of a movie revolving around the making of Psycho is certainly an intriguing one, [...]
Liz, Brenna and Salim review this fascinating behind-the-scenes story of Hitch and the making of Psycho. Starring Liz Manashil, Salim Lemelle and Brenna Smith. Directed by Cooper Griggs. Synopsis: Alfred Hitchcock is the world’s most famous director. But when he chooses the controversial Psycho as his next movie, no one will support it. Risking everything, he and [...]
Coming this fall, the third highest-grossing movie of all time and the #1 movie in the world, “Marvel’s The Avengers” assembles as you’ve never seen it before on Blu-ray 3D, Blu-ray, DVD, Digital and On-Demand platforms on September 25, 2012. In anticipation of this release, Marvel is also launching an all-new App in July – “The [...]
After seeing The Avengers twice, it seems like the entire concept of combining the Iron Man, Thor, and the Captain America franchises along with all of their supporting characters into one massive movie seems like a kick-ass idea with no chance of failure. But back in the late nineties that concept represented some pretty audacious [...]
As a non-comic book reader, my history and knowledge about The Avengers and its characters isn’t that great and often consists of only one viewing of each of their individual movies. On the way to the theater my husband was quizzing me about the other movies so he could make sure I understood what had happened [...]
I love it when a plan comes together. In one of the most ambitious film proposals in recent memory, The Avengers has finally arrived and paid off greatly. Setting itself up back in 2008 with Iron Man and adding on layers through the other four Marvel Comic films that have come since, the massive gamble [...]
We Bought a Zoo is a movie made to make you feel good. There is no other way around that. It features nice performances, a nice score, stakes that are enough to keep you involved, but never to really put you in a tense place, and an overall sweetness that is enough to make your [...]
Well…I have to admit, as the month of May approaches I’m getting more and more excited about this Avengers project, and rightfully so with the exclusive Marvel footage leaked online today showing a very scrumptious Scarlett Johansson kicking a$$ like only the Black Widow can. It’s nothing more than a quick one minute and six [...]
Over the holiday season, audiences everywhere had a chance to see the latest film from writer/director Cameron Crowe, We Bought A Zoo, starring Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansson. It was an incredibly sweet story, almost too sweet (review HERE), but one that was certainly a fitting film for families to go out and see together. [...]

While there are plenty of other things to eventually write about concerning Disney’s D23 Expo, which took place at the Anaheim Convention Center this past weekend, one of the most anticipated moments was easily the debut of basically anything related to the upcoming Avengers film. As many keeping track of this sort of news know, [...]
The Island was a bit of a surprise, because I wasn’t really expecting it when it arrived. I’m not complaining, mind you. The Island is a futuristic science fiction film directed by Michael Bay. Yes, that Michael Bay. The guy that directed Bad Boys, Transformers, The Rock, etc. I missed it in theaters upon release. [...]
Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson star in The Island, Michael Bay’s take on a dystopian future. The inhabitants of the island think that they live on it due to the rest of the planet being uninhabitable. It’s much more than that. The Island marked Michael Bay’s first project that was not produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. [...]
Although Gregg Senko kind of reported on all things Hall H yesterday, I have a slew of photos from every panel that I wanted to share with all our readers. First up, is the surprise event of the night, maybe even a lifetime, depending upon who you are talking to. As we were beginning to [...]
In 2008, Iron Man was released to an audience that wasn’t very familiar with the character and with a lead actor that had a history of personal demons that never allowed him to achieve the success his talent deserved. It turned out to be an explosive combination that raked in over $535 million worldwide. By [...]

This action adventure boasts a terrific cast including Don Cheadle, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mickey Rourke, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell and Samuel L. Jackson. It is directed by [...]
