Rise of the Planet of the Apes – Review – The Apes Are Back
How do you make a movie like Rise of the Planet of the Apes interesting when we already know so much about it? Going in we know that it was Earth all along, that Caesar started the rebellion, and that humans become second to apes. Rise of the Planet of the Apes instead tells us [...]
Franco Could Have Been BREAKING DAWN
Actor James Franco is reported to be a Twihard. I’m not making this stuff up. BoomTron reported on an earlier connection between the star of Rise of the Planet of the Apes and the Twilight Saga. Now that connection is revealed to be a more intimate one. Comic Con just recently saw a reveal of [...]
James Franco wanted in on Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Twilight Breaking Dawn?
Actor James Franco wanted to be in Twilight Breaking Dawn with Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart? Is it a joke? Is it a stunt? Not really.

Your Highness – movie review
With a great cast, some awesome special effects, and a trailer that promised some good laughs, Your Highness had all the early hallmarks of an instant classic. The story follows the fortunes of Prince Thadeous (Danny McBride), a bumbling, fumbling, and fornicating joke of a Prince, on his journey to manhood. His brother, the dashing, [...]
Natalie Portman and Zooey Deschanel – Your Highness Red Band Trailer
It looks like Natalie Portman lost her undies one more time in the latest ‘red band’ trailer for the medieval comedy, Your Highness. The original trailer treated viewers to Portman’s barely-covered butt as she stripped down for a swim, but you had to be quick to see it because it was yanked off the web [...]

The Green Hornet – movie review
I have been very excited to see The Green Hornet. I love Seth Rogen, and I love superheroes. I loved every second of the movie–was not at all disappointed. I love how the character of The Green Hornet even came to be in the movie. Britt and Kato got really drunk and decided to steal [...]
James Franco Helming Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying and Cormac McCarthy’s Blood Meridian?
James Franco apparently thinks sitting still is a bad thing because 2011 looks like it’s going to be one busy year for him. In addition to co-hosting the Academy Awards in February with a star from Love and Other Drugs (and brushing up on his acceptance speech for 127 Hours), he’s also getting ready to [...]

Anne Hathaway and James Franco Hosting Oscars
Anne Hathaway and James Franco are the next two actors to get the official co-hosting nod from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Hathaway may also be on the ballots for her turn in Love and Other Drugs as a Parkinson’s-addled hottie. For that matter, Franco may be, too. His film 127 Hours [...]
127 Hours – movie review – New Orleans Film Festival
Danny Boyle’s latest movie is based on a true story (chronicled in the memoir Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston), and it would be a disservice to the story and the film for me not to be open about all of it. So if you are looking to watch this movie [...]
