Coming Attractions: Explaining the Unexplainable with The Expendables 2

Oh, good heavens. Why fight it? This thing looks insane, but nonetheless, Sylvester Stallone’s Social Security program just keeps happening.

The Black List 2011: Hollywood’s Best and Worst Unproduced Screenplays Revealed

Have you ever wondered how something you’re watching actually became a movie? You know, how you look at Adam Sandler up on the screen doing some sort of crazy man, goof shuffle, while wearing a dress, sitting on a donkey, and getting punched in the face by a ten year-old? Yes, well, someone, at some studio, decided this was a good idea, and then they told people, and more people, and look what just happened! Sandler was called, a director was hired, and voila…crap on a stick! Well, the annual Black List is an integral part for some of these movies. It’s the list of the most popular “unproduced” screenplays that could make it to theaters. Continue reading

The Hollywood Caller: M. Night Shyamalan To Destroy Movies Once Again

We thought this would never happen again, but we were wrong. Somehow Shyamalan was able to free himself from his underwater jail, and he will again make a movie. Drat! We really thought we’d stopped him this time. We lined his cell with critically acclaimed movie reels and hoped it would work like Kryptonite. No such luck. Oh, well, it will be awful!

Take a look at what’s coming soon. Continue reading
