Chronicle Director to Helm Shadow of Colossus Video Game Film
23 May 2012 5:40 PM, PDT | WorstPreviews.com | See recent Worst Previews news »
Back in 2009, Sony Pictures announced that it was developing a big screen version of "Shadow of Colossus" video game and has hired McG (Terminator Salvation) to direct from a script by Justin Marks (Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li). Now comes word that the studio is no longer going with McG and has signed Josh Trank to direct the film. Trank is the man behind "Chronicle" and has been rumored to reboot the "Fantastic Four" franchise and direct the "Spider-Man" spin-off "Venom." The game centers on the character Wander, who along with his horse Agro travels across a Western-style landscape to defeat enemies known as Collosi, with Wander's larger aim to save the girl Mono. It was released back in 2005 and quickly became a huge hit as well as a critical favorite. »
'This Means War' Alternate Ending Opens Fire in This Exclusive Clip From the Blu-ray
23 May 2012 | Movies.com | See recent Movies.com news »
When This Means War, about best friend spys (Chris Pine and Tom Hardy) who bring their gift for subterfuge into the dating world when they both fall for the same romantically-challenged gal (Reese Witherspoon), hit theaters, director McG (Terminator: Salvation, Charlie's Angels) revealed in an interview that at one time they had considered releasing two versions of the film in theaters, each with a different relationship hook up at the end. Obviously that never happened, but those alternate endings were indeed filmed, and now that the film has hit Blu-ray and DVD, you can see what could have been. More to the point, you can see what could have been right now. Well, part of it at least. Fox has given us a clip from one of three alternate endings for the film to share with you...

This Means War – Blu-ray review
23 May 2012 5:20 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »
Blu-ray Review
Directed by: McG
Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Tom Hardy, Chris Pine, Chelsea Handler
Running Time: 1 hr 37 min
Rating: PG-13
Due Out: May 22, 2012
Plot: A pair of CIA agents/best friends (Hardy and Pine) go to great lengths to try to win the affection of the same woman (Witherspoon).
Who’S It For? Unless you think Chris Pine and Tom Hardy are the two most attractive men on the planet, consider yourself Reese Witherspoon’s biggest fan, or love the comedic stylings of Chelsea Handler, you should steer clear of this one. Heck, I don’t think it would be worth it even if one of those does describe you.
Movie:
With poorly edited action, few laughs, and the presence of Chelsea Handler, this is a terrible film. It feels much longer than its mercifully short running time to the point where I feared I’d be »

O how the birds chirp
The sun blisters off of my skin
The wind whistles by me
Putting its fingers through my hair
The rainbow shines upon my face
But it’s not from the rain
But from the DVD Aisle
Yes, it’s Tuesday and I running out of creative ways to introduce this article. To someone out there, this could be a pretty good week for DVDs but I’ll rate it a ‘meh’. It’s a meh week this week with the release of McG’s This Means War, which was actually enjoyable, Red Tails, which sucked so much ass, and The Secret World of Arrietty, which was critically acclaimed.

Breaking News: Supernatural and The Vampire Diaries Renewed!
3 May 2012 1:20 PM, PDT | ScifiMafia | See recent ScifiMafia news »
And about time, too! We had a pretty good indication that Supernatural would be renewed for an eighth(!) season when they announced last month that new showrunner Jeremy Carver would be taking over those duties from Sera Gamble, who has chosen to concentrate on other projects. Still, we kept waiting, and waiting…
Similarly, The Vampire Diaries has consistently scored well in the ratings for The CW, so again we were fairly confident, but still we were waiting to hear confirmation of a fourth season. Today is the day!
According to TVLine, the confirmation is an especially a good thing as Supernatural is set to end the current season with a giant cliffhanger. Which should also come as no surprise. And we have hope that something else good may come with that renewal, as Misha Collins has reportedly advised that he’d love to come back next season… Yes Please.
