'Dirty Sexy Money' Returns with "The Facts"

17 July 2009 6:27 PM, PDT | From buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news

As ABC series Dirty Sexy Money returns to burn off its final four episodes Saturday nights at 10pm before it finally bids goodbye, "The Facts" seems to be a good episode to do so. On it, the Darlings are away for Thanksgiving, so Clark the chauffeur takes advantage and offers his version of events regarding the many Darling family rumors to a persistent, relentless, and sexy reporter. He sets the record straight as to all the family betrayal, possible criminal cover-ups, and even murder accusations.

His version of things include Patrick's (William Baldwin) subpoena to Tripp (Donald Sutherland) over his association with the lowlife Fantini brothers, Karen's (Natalie Zea) anger over the intrusion of Simon's (Blair Underwood) beautiful ex-wife, Ama (Gina Torres), and Juliet's (Samaire Armstrong) adventures with her lover, Kai. Meanwhile, Letitia (Jill Clayburgh) holds the Ferragamo fashion show at the Darling mansion while under house arrest, and one

'Astro Boy' Footage Preview: Behind The Scenes With Imagi Studios!

17 July 2009 5:26 AM, PDT | From MTV Splash Page | See recent MTV Splash Page news

MTV News recently had the chance to visit Imagi Studios where the finishing touches are being put on “Astro Boy,” set to hit theaters October 23.

Though the character isn’t quite as recognizable to Us audiences, “Astro Boy” is one of the most enduring Japanese pop icons, dating back to his 1952 debut in the manga by Osamu Tezuka. The film tells the story of a scientist, Tenma (Nicolas Cage) who replaces his lost son with a powerful robot (Freddie Highmore), who must then come to terms with his own identity as both a child and a hero.

Fans should be pleased to know that Imagi’s take on “Astro Boy” is incredibly faithful to the various incarnations of the character of the years, right down to the “butt machine guns”. Extensive work has also been done by the Imagi artists to create accurate 3D versions of the 2D drawings and

Circle of Iron Blu-ray Review

15 July 2009 3:33 AM, PDT | From TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news

Circle of Iron (1978) was initially conceived as a "dream project" by famed martial artist/actor Bruce Lee in conjunction with two of his students James Coburn (The Great Escape, Our Man Flint) and Sterling Silliphant (Oscar winner for screenplay on In The Heat of the Night) in the late 1960's. Due to disagreements over shooting choices and prejudices in the industry against Asians (especially with no leading man experience) helming a movie, the script was shelved. Once Bruce made a name for himself with titles such as Fists of Fury (1971) and Enter the Dragon (1973), Hollywood was much more accommodating. Ironically Lee was scheduled to meet for discussions about finally bringing the Silent Flute (as the script was titled) to fruition only one day after his untimely death in 1973. David Carradine, of the TV series Kung Fu (1972-75) in a role that Lee coincidentally was in contention for (according to Lee's wife,

Kristen Bell, the actress who fills the voice of the sassy friend, brings the matter into public attention when discussing with Sci Fi Wire about her animated character in 3-D animated movie "Astro Boy".

The actress, who confessed of having no idea about the manga until she worked on the project, moreover described her character, saying "She runs a little kind of like Peter Pan group of kids. She's pretty tough, pretty sassy."

Beside talking about her character, the "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" actress also shared on her experience recording the voice of Cora. "Sometimes when another character comes in and records and they like something they've done, you

The She-beast (DVD Review)

17 June 2009 9:25 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news

Note: This is our second review of this title. For another opinion, click here.

This DVD of The She-beast is movie gold. Why? Is it those Hammer-style, cheap production sensibilities? The fact that it is the second of a mere four features directed by the late, greatly-lamented Michael Reeves? The plot that combines lame satire of Eastern European communism, witchcraft and curses, Van Helsing's great great grandson and young love? The bad English overdubs? The Barbara Steele/Ian Ogilvy commentary track?

The answer is yes, yes, oh be still my beating heart Yes, To All Of The Above!!!

Brit Michael Reeves died at the tender age of 26. But before he left this mortal coil, he managed to make not only this hilariously entertaining clunker, but two undisputedly very good films. Not bad for a guy who only made four total movies. Even the forgettable Castle Of The Living Dead

Exclusive: Sobering Talk with Director Todd Phillips

3 June 2009 7:40 PM, PDT | From FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news

If there's one thing that I hate Todd Phillips for, it's delivering Old School to the world. Specifically, delivering that movie unto the unwashed masses of frat guys at my college who proceeded to quote the damned thing as if it were their job. We got it. Once it hits your lips, beer is pretty tasty, and no, I won't be calling you Frank the Tank. Your name is Hunter, for God's sake. If there's two things I hate Todd Phillips for, it's looking exactly like a young Donald Sutherland. I can't really explain that one, so just roll with me on it. Luckily, I got to confront my nemesis (read: interview the nice director man) in the luxurious Caesar's Palace (read: the luxurious Caesar's Palace) in beautiful Las Vegas to talk about his upcoming film The Hangover. And now, through the magic of technology, you can see and hear the entire conversation! It's

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Anthony Head on a Reboot without Joss Whedon

2 June 2009 12:16 PM, PDT | From TVSeriesFinale.com | See recent TVSeriesFinale news

Last week, news broke that a Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie is finally in the works. Unfortunately, it's not the ones that fans have been hoping for. Rather than reuniting TV castmates like Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, Alyson Hannigan, and James Marsters, the film would be a reboot of the original low-budget movie.

Back in 1992, Fox released the campy Buffy flick starring Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, and Luke Perry. The original script was written by a then-unknown writer named Joss Whedon. Fran Rubel Kuzui and her husband, Kaz, "discovered" the story for their Kuzui Enterprises. Ms. Kuzui directed the film while her husband put together the financing.

The movie wasn't a big success and Whedon has often lamented that the movie wasn't what he'd envisioned at all. Director Kuzui sought to make it into a "pop culture comedy about what people think about vampires." Whedon said, "I had written

They're Remaking 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' Without Joss Whedon!

26 May 2009 5:21 PM, PDT | From Fandango | See recent Fandango news

Those of you hardcore Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans will know that the character was not born on television as Sarah Michelle Gellar, but instead was a 1992 movie starring Kristy Swanson as a Clueless-type high school gal who learns how to slay vampires from Donald Sutherland, while wooing Luke Perry and running from the lead villain, as played by Pee-Wee Herman, er, Paul Reubens. Unfortunately I'm not kidding; the film also starred a young Hilary Swank, Ben Affleck and David Arquette. (Don't tell anyone, but I totally consider this flick to be a fantastic guilty pleasure.) The film itself, though, was written by Joss Whedon, who would later revive it as a pretty kickass television series that slowly built its own massive fanbase and spin-off show (Angel). Now, 17 years after the...

‘Buffy’ Reboot Without Whedon, Plus His Response

26 May 2009 5:20 PM, PDT | From newsinfilm.com | See recent newsinfilm news

Maybe I should just change the name of this site to NewsinRemakes because that’s where things seem to be headed.  Another high profile reboot was announced today.

Vertigo Entertainment is planning a reboot of the 1992 movie Buffy the Vampire Slayer.  The director of the original, Fran Rubel Kuzui, is developing an updated version along with her husband.  The reboot (not a sequel or prequel) isn’t set up at a studio yet, but producers are shopping the idea around town.  Curiously absent is writer and fan favorite Joss Whedon.

Buffy was Whedon’s first feature film script, which was sort of a campy, middling movie featuring Kristy Swanson, Donald Sutherland, Paul Reubens, and Luke Perry.  It’s also the first movie for Oscar winner Hilary Swank.  Whedon later used the characters to create a cult following with a “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” TV series (starring Sarah Michelle Gellar) that

“Nazis. I hate these guys.”: 15 WWII Movies Worth Watching Before You See Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds.

26 May 2009 4:10 PM, PDT | From FilmJunk | See recent FilmJunk news

Who knew that the Nazis -- one of the most brutal regimes in the history of brutal regimes -- would be responsible for such fun, mind-blowingly awesome entertainment? The second I see a dude in a grey German uniform and an eye patch enter the frame, I’m like ‘Whoa. That Nazi is going to provide me a great amount of entertainment this evening’. So, with Inglorious Bastards having recently premiered at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, I figured I'd put together a list of some awesome WW2 films as a resource for anyone wanting to beef up their WW2 film knowledge before checking out Tarantino's self-proclaimed 'masterpiece'. It's worth noting that I focused on older films -- pre-1980 for the most part -- and only the stories featuring Nazi's. It was tough to cut this down to 15 films, but I'm sure you all will be able to come up with

Hugh Hudson Takes Us Back with Revolution

26 May 2009 2:35 PM, PDT | From MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news

The director of the 1985 film talks about the new director's cut of the Al Pacino film

Sometimes, in the movie business, things just don't work out the way they should have, and one such instance would be the box-office and critical bomb Revolution. The film starred Al Pacino, right off the heels of Scarface, and also starred Donald Sutherland, Natassja Kinski and Joan Plowright in this epic tale set against the backdrop of the Revolutionary War. Director Hugh Hudson had come off such hits as Chariots of Fire and Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes also, so you would've thought this would be a massive hit... but it wasn't even close. The film, which cost an estimated $28 million to produce, took in less than $350,000 at the box office in 1985, and the overwhelming failure of the film apparently even cause Pacino himself to go on an acting hiatus,
