'Psych' Season 7: 'Clue' is 100th episode, featuring Garrett Morris

24 May 2012 8:29 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Dule Hill on WhoSay

The "Psych" team is hard at work on Season 7 and star Dule Hill has recently tweeted some goodies about the 100th episode that we are personally very, very excited for. Dule tweets:

Oh yeah, Garrett Morris on the set of @Psych_USA episode #100Clues ...That's what I'm talking about!! [In reference to the above picture]Uhh...can you say Psych episode 4 homework? #NowWatching...wait for iiiiiitttt.....CLUEDing ding ding ding!!!! #ThereItIs Rt @moviefan90: @DuleHill I'm assuming by the #100Clues title that it's the 100th episode?

"Clue" is one of our all-time favorite movies and the "Psych" guys were teasing a "Clue" episode for Season 6. It didn't get coordinated, but we are over the moon to get confirmation it's coming in Season 7. Who do you hope as a guest star for the most? Tim Curry is obviously a big one, but since he has to reprise his role as the "American Duos" judge, »

'Men in Black 3': Pros And Cons

23 May 2012 9:50 AM, PDT | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

This weekend, "Men in Black 3" finds Will Smith donning the Ray Bans once again for another intergalactic adventure as Agent J. In the threequel, J must travel back to the year 1969 to prevent the assassination of his partner, Agent K. With the Apollo 11 mission looming in the background, J works alongside a much younger -- but still surly -- K (Josh Brolin) to ensure that the timeline remains unchanged. It's been ten years since we last saw the Mib, and that cinematic outing was poorly received. Despite the new installment's well-documented script problems can the new flick follow suit? Let's find out in this week's Pro-Con. (Mild Spoilers Follow) Pro: It's better than "Men in Black II" The second movie was one of the most unnecessary, forgettable and humorless viewing experiences ever. This is a much more harmless attempt at a sequel. Con: That's not saying much Number three isn't awful, »

DVD Review: Earth 2 – The Complete Series

19 May 2012 2:40 PM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »

Earth 2: The Complete Series

Stars: Deborah Farentino, Joey Zimmerman, Tim Curry, Virginia Madsen, Terry O’Quinn, Joey Zimmerman, Clancy Brown, Jessica Steen, Rebecca Gayheart, Antonio Sabàto, Jr. | Created by Michael Duggan, Carol Flint, Mark Levin, Billy Ray

Debuting to huge fanfare back in 1994, Earth 2 was, at the time, event TV on both sides of the pond. Produced by Steven Spielberg under his Amblin Entertainment banner, the pilot was originally released on VHS by Universal before the series debuted later the same year on Sky TV to huge critical and fan praise. Sadly the fanfare and furore surrounding the series and it’s big name producer didn’t translate to ratings and the show was cancelled after only one season of 22 episodes. Some 18 years later the series is set to make its UK DVD debut courtesy of Mediumrare Entertainment…

Men in Black 3 Review

18 May 2012 5:22 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Back when it was released, Men in Black was something quite exciting. It may not have broken any new ground, but it was clever, funny, and well made, and it cemented Will Smith’s position as a real movie star. It’s been 15 years since then, and in that time, aliens have become the baddies in more or less every other action movie, supporting player Rip Torn has experience a tragic, although comically surreal fall from grace, and Will Smith has gone from the Fresh Prince of Hollywood to pushy showbiz parent.

At some point between then and now, there was also a mediocre sequel that felt a lot like a remake. Which, incidentally is where we come into Men in Black 3.

The film may open with a sequence set in a giant space prison (more on that in a second), but as soon as we’re back on Earth, »

Best Movie Ever?: "Clue"

16 May 2012 11:26 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »

In the short history of "Best Movie Ever?", I've covered enough cinematic treasure to render Leonard Maltin catatonic and super-gay for yeeeears. From Nine to Five and Working Girl to Clueless and Mean Girls, we've reexamined a lot of staggering celluloid and, more importantly, women in blazers. Today, I offer up a movie that I can hardly judge as a mere admirer. It's my favorite movie, it's probably your favorite movie, and when we add up its five most unbelievable elements, we'll be so high on glamorous (and Inconceivably Silly) goodness that we'll strike each other with candlesticks, lead pipes, and Colleen Camp's triumphant bazooms. Can you dig it? It's the zany whodunit Clue, darlings, and it's what makes Western civilization good.

Now, full disclosure: I've already written one magnum opus about Clue, and it's pretty comprehensive. But I wrote that for (gasp!) a largely straight audience, and now »

Scary or Die Review

10 May 2012 9:25 PM, PDT | MoreHorror | See recent MoreHorror news »

By Jason Lees, MoreHorror.com

You ever get a song stuck in your head that just won’t go away? There’s no way to get rid of it except to listen to it again. That used to be tough, but now it’s pretty easy to find any song and exorcize that demon.

The same is true for movies, at least for me. I’ll get a movie stuck in my head and have to go watch it again to be free. That’s usually not such a bad thing, but sometimes it takes more time than I have. I remember as a kid getting DeNiro’s ‘… you talking to me…’ stuck in my skull and having to watch Taxi Driver over and over again. That probably explains more about me than I really want to share.

It was like that when I watched Scary Or Die. I loaded »

Does Your Kid Have a Birthday Coming Up? Have Him Stalked by an Evil Clown!

9 May 2012 11:06 AM, PDT | DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news »

You know, living Switzerland is looking better and better these days. Especially since the country is home to the man who has concocted a way to answer the timeless question, "What do you get for someone who's got everything?"

According to The Austrian Times, if you're in the Swiss city of Lucerne, for a fee actor Dominic Deville (pictured below) will dress up as one of the most evil looking clowns on the planet and then contact his child "victims" to tell them he is watching them.

His evil clown service unfolds further as he teases his targets with texts, phone calls, and booby-trapped letters, warning them that at some point during their birthday party, he will throw a cake in their face. Mr. Deville's look appears to be based on the monster clown played by Tim Curry in the 1990 TV adaptation of the Stephen King novel It. In fact »

Star Trek: The Cage Retrospective Review

9 May 2012 10:46 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

A play-by-play review of all Star Trek Original Series episodes. We start with The Cage, the unaired first pilot for the show that was completed in early 1965, though never broadcast on television fully until 1988.

Written by Gene Roddenberry

Directed by Robert Butler

The theme is all… different.

That’s the first thing you notice. It’s different.

And not in a good way.

This was made well before the series, and while it is still recognizable, it is also very different. The bridge is different:

And that’s just the first shot.

This is not what we would call advanced science fiction. In fact, Voyager watchers will understand what I mean when I say I expect Captain Proton to chase Satan’s Robot and Chaotica across the bridge any second, especially when they are having trouble telling the difference between a “meteroroid” and a radio wave to the point where Spock, »

Jane Jensen Hints at a New Gabriel Knight Game

7 May 2012 1:45 PM, PDT | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

By Jeffrey Matulef

Gabriel Knight creator Jane Jensen recently suggested in an interview with Polygon that her long dormant globe-trotting archaeological mystery series may resurface sometime soon.

The Gabriel Knight series spanned three titles from 1993's Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Father to 1999's Gabriel Knight: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned. Recently, Jensen founded her new Kickstarter-based company, Pinkerton Road. Jensen describes the studio's first game, Moebius, as a "metaphysical adventure in the vain of Dante's Equation, Gray Matter, and Gabriel Knight." In a more recent Kickstarter update she promises a second project funded by a publisher and describes this "mystery game x" as "a third-person adventure game" and "a dark mystery of the kind you would normally associate with me." "You will be excited," she adds.

Jensen admits that while she's "mentally moved on" from Gabriel Knight, she would like to revisit the rogueish detective/novelist »

Birthday shoutouts go to James Franco (above), who is 34, Tim Curry is 66, Ashley Judd is 44, Kate Hudson is 33.

The James Clayton Column: playing cards movie pitches

19 April 2012 1:54 AM, PDT | Den of Geek | See recent Den of Geek news »

With Battleship taking its cue from a board game, James dreams up a few movie pitches inspired by a humble deck of playing cards…

What’s more surprising than the fact that a board game - namely Battleship - got made into a feature-length blockbuster movie is the fact that people are surprised that a board game got made into a movie. Is it really so jawdroppingly hard to believe? We’re talking about the movie industry here, where the weird go pro and where ‘sensible’ gets nuked in the name of showbiz.

In 1985, Tim Curry fronted a Cluedo film (Clue), so Battleship’s board-game-to-big-screen trajectory isn’t anything new. It isn’t really astounding that Hasbro - the Transformers toymakers masterminding multimedia success - got the naval strategy guessing game and pushed it through the dream factory. From humble roots as a pencil-and-paper pastime to star-studded, special effects-heavy sci-fi-action popcorn flick, »

The Devil’s Carnival (2012)

16 April 2012 9:20 PM, PDT | Planet Fury | See recent Planet Fury news »

Written by: Terrance Zdunich

Directed by: Darren Lynn Bousman

Featuring: Emilie Autumn, Sean Patrick Flanery, Bill Moseley, Ogre, Alexa Vega, Dayton Callie, Briana Evigan, Jessica Lowden, Terrance Zdunich, Paul Sorvino, Marc Senter

For the diehard fans of Repo! The Genetic Opera, when whispers began over a year ago that Darren Lynn Bousman (director of Mother’s Day, 11-11-11 and several of the Saw films) and Terrance Zdunich (Repo!, The Molting comic book) were teaming up once more for another musical endeavor, the project couldn’t debut fast enough. Promotional images promised a whimsical goth-tinged carnival spearheaded by Lucifer himself, and early glimpses of soundtrack bites included performances from iconic genre staples like Emilie Autumn, Ogre (Skinny Puppy) and Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch). The project was not a studio endeavor; rather, it was filmed in about seven days, produced almost exclusively by Zdunich and Bousman themselves, with help »

Wrath Of The Titans IMAX Review

1 April 2012 4:27 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

If ravenous teenagers trying to kill each other and plasticine pirates haven’t already lured you into your local cinema this weekend, then there’s a chance that a certain sword and sandals sequel also has your consideration. Obviously, I’m talking about Wrath Of The Titans and if it is on your radar at all, and it should be because it’s a solid chunk of popcorn entertainment, then you may want to check out your nearest IMAX cinema to see it in all it’s 3D glory.

You can read a more in-depth review here http://whatculture.com/film/wrath-of-the-titans-review.php as I’m going to focus the majority of my attention on the IMAX experience (though, I do feel that Mark’s 3.5 stars are slightly generous and perhaps it’s only the IMAX experience that elevates the film to those lofty heights…just… »

Can We Talk About The Ridiculous Song At The End Of Legend?

28 March 2012 12:10 PM, PDT | BestWeekEver | See recent BestWeekEver news »

I watched the Tom Cruise 80s fantasy movie Legend this week for the first time since reaching the age of being cognizant-of-things, and while I fully braced myself for its ridiculousness, hoooo-leyyy crap it did not disappoint. I vaguely recalled the film being a bizarre entrant in the wave of “80s fantasy films for kids but kind-of not really for kids,” and remembered Tim Curry as Basically Satan, but my memory ended there. You’d think it goes without saying, but the film is Loaded with awesomely nonsensical aspects: The whole film is about 20 minutes long, Tom Cruise plays a ‘kid’ but looks the same as he does now, the film opens with like 9 paragraphs of slow-scrolling text that sets up about 7 different absurd rules about the world of the film (evil can’t touch earth as long as these two unicorns are around, but also there’s no light »

Listen To The New Beck Song "Looking For A Sign" From 'Jeff Who Lives At Home' Plus More Music Film News

21 March 2012 8:41 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Where would we be without music in our favorite films? While some may rely mostly on score, the needle drop of a pop tune can be quite satisfying when paired with a memorable scene. There could be a few opportunities for this type of moment on the way thanks to some exciting music news that also concerns the film world.

While we’d still love to get our hands on the score by “Jeff Who Lives At Home” and “Cyrus” composer Michael Andrews, we’ll definitely settle for a new track from Beck from the former film. The Duplass’ latest film has helped give Beck fans a pretty stellar new track in “Looking For A Sign” that falls right between Mutations and Sea Change-era Beck, which is certainly a good thing. The mostly acoustic-driven track is also a step away from the work he did as Sex Bob-Omb on the »

Disney Considering The Muppets' Return to TV

13 March 2012 7:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

 

After last November's crowd-pleasing, critically acclaimed, and Oscar-winning film The Muppets, Walt Disney Studios has not lost sight of Jim Henson's famous creations. There have been several reports of a sequel being put into production without the involvement of Muppets star/co-writer Jason Segel. The Muppets will also appear as part of a shipwide adventure game/scavenger hunt ("The Case of the Stolen Show") on Disney's newest cruise ship, the "Disney Fantasy." But the biggest news of late is that Disney is trying to reinvigorate the Muppets on the medium where they started, TV.

In an announcement introducing other Disney television series in the works (including a preschool reboot of "Winnie-The-Pooh" and a new cartoon series "Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja" featuring the voices of Tim Curry, Ben Schwartz and Jon Oliver), one of Disney's foreign TV executives hinted at a future on TV for the Muppets. “We would »

Review: The Three Musketeers

12 March 2012 10:08 AM, PDT | Comicmix.com | See recent Comicmix news »

Like most Americans, I learned about Alexander DumasThree Musketeers from their countless adaptations on screen and in print. For me, it was probably Sheldon Mayer’s Three Mouseketeers reprints along with the rallying cry of “One for all, and all for one” shouted by just about every cartoon, sitcom and prime time drama at one point or another. Sure, there was the delightful two film adaptation made by Ilya Salkind that was instrumental in their approach to Superman the Movie and my kids grew up adoring the somewhat boiled down, tongue-slightly-in-cheek version from Disney with a great cast (Oliver Platt, Kiefer Sutherland, Tim Curry, etc.). It wasn’t until last year that I actually read the book in its entirety and it was a revelation.

Billed as a modern retelling, The Three Musketeers  from Summit Entertainment, was therefore eagerly awaited. It had »

The Muppets could return to TV after movie success

Senior Disney executive says company considering all options for the show after film wins best song Oscar

The Muppets could once again be lighting the lights and playing the music on television following the global success of their big-screen return.

A senior Disney executive said the company was considering all options for the show, which originally ran between 1976 and 1981.

Disney has announced a sequel for the film, which won the best song Oscar and by the end of last week had taken $158m (£132m) worldwide.

"I am looking at that as we speak, it's a really fun one to work on," said marketing chief and channels manager for Disney in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Tricia Wilber.

Disney also on Tuesday announced plans for a new original animated series, Randy Cunningham: Ninth Grade Ninja, which is being co-produced by Boulder Media in Ireland and Titmouse Inc in Los Angeles. »

Top Five Environmentally Friendly Animated Flicks

2 March 2012 1:58 PM, PST | MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news »

Not all moviegoers want their movies dripping with heavy-handed moral messages, but when they’re presented as part of the colorful, warm fuzzy goodness of an animated film, somehow said message or moral is easier to swallow. The latest entrant into the animated movie with a message canon is “The Lorax,” Dr. Seuss’ classic story about a young boy who must save endangered trees in hopes of winning a girl's heart.

In celebration of the cute, fluffy friend of trees The Lorax (voiced by Danny DeVito), here are the top five animated movies with an environmental message.

5. "Happy Feet"

Although the plot of this Oscar-winner for Best Animated Feature Film revolves around Mumble the penguin (Elijah Wood) learning to dance to the beat of his own drum, literally, the third act reveals a glaringly obvious message about over fishing in the Arctic and general ocean pollution. The animated penguins are »
