“Western Front” Remake to star Daniel Radcliffe
Not to poo-poo yet another remake, let alone a remake of a film that really doesn't need to be remade, the 1930 classic All Quiet on the Western Front will get the treatment. And the lead role? Expect to see Harry Potter Daniel Radcliffe take the lead spot as the young German infantryman cast... »
Restrepo – Jun. 25th
Again, always the last to know. sigh. Anyway, this looks interesting, can't wait to get a chance to see it. Probably won't be til it hits disc but looking forward to it just the same. Guess this means I'll have to add a new category as well! From IMDB: Sebastian Junger and Tim Hetherington's... »
Ken Watanabe Directs Film about the 442nd?
Well, its certainly a story worth telling, as the article points out. It'll be interesting to see a) if the rumors are true and b) how he approaches it. Ken Watanabe is usually to be found being tough and awesome in front of the camera in the likes of Batman Begins, Letters From Iwo... »
Red Dawn Reboot Causing a Stir
If you haven't heard by now, MGM is rebooting the 1984 Cold War classic, Red Dawn. Only this time the Soviet Red Menace(tm) is being replaced by the Chinese Red Menace(tm) much to the dismay of many. Just search for it, you'll see what I mean. I'll wait. If you recall the original Red... »

Saving Private Ryan Blu-Ray Available for Pre-Order!
Awesome news! Except that there are no concrete details as of yet, including extras or a firm release date... but its still totally excellent news!!! I'm hoping that Spielberg takes full advantage of the format. Lots of extras, maybe some new stuff. Dreaming of a 7.1 Master Audio soundtrack but its pretty unlikely. Link:... »
Rambo vs. The Monster? No! Thank God!
Thank God for small miracles. Personally I think Rambo should be left alone. I mean, I thought Rambo 4 was a fitting piece of closure for the character. To resurrect him now that he's gone home for good would seem to defeat the purpose. Am I wrong? But this, this would have been completely... »
