Those of us whose formative childhood memories include snake pits and being chased by giant stone spheres have been awaiting the release of Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull with a mixture of anticipation and dread. Would the new movie make us feel like the excited 10-year-olds we were back when we first met Indy? Or would George Lucas exercise his awesome talent for sodomizing his own

Well, we can officially scratch those rumors that suggested Emma Watson was not going to reprise the role of Hermione in the final two Harry Potter films, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. According to a press release, Jeff Robinov, President of Production for Warner Bros. Pictures, made the announcement today. He says, "It would be inconceivable to

I decided to begin this review with a quote from the 10 year old (maybe 8 or 9) kid who walked behind me as we exited the theater. When his father asked him what he thought about the movie, the boy responded with, "I don't get what the big deal was." Although I kept walking, I wanted to turn around and tell him that if a film like Spider Man 3 came out when I was ten, I would've talked about it

If you expected Mel Gibson to stick firmly behind the camera following his well-known and drunken tirade, guess again. Looks like the statute of limitations has worn off our collective distaste for the actor, and he's planning to celebrate by mounting a sequel to the 1994 flick Maverick. Word is that James Garner is interested in coming back -- but nothing on the participation of Jodie Foster has

In a pop culture landscape as hungrily cannibalistic as today's, cinematic nostalgia and homage has lost much of its once enticing luster. The indulgent fun of referencing and rehashing the past has worn so thin that even VH1's gaggle of third-rate Best Week Ever and I Love the [Insert Decade] talking heads seem barely capable of mustering enthusiasm for the latest derogatory smack-down on their

The final installment for Steven Soderbergh's Ocean's series, Ocean's Thirteen, is coming out this summer -- June 8th to be exact. Last August, Erik shared that this would be the end of the director's Ocean dalliances, and that this sequel was only being made to appease George Clooney. Obviously, this doesn't mean that someone else couldn't again revive the series, but for now it's the end. Of

After seeing and loving Rocky Balboa, it's a lot harder for me to roll my eyes over the prospect of another Rambo film. That Sylvester Stallone looks ridiculous in these photos really can't be argued, however. We posted a fairly positive script review a while back that bodes well, and it's got a decent cast, but ... man. Seeing the 60 year-old Stallone in a mullet and a low-cut blouse, it's just

I have a very clear memory of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's "arrival" in pop culture. Although I'd never read the original comic by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, it was some time in 1987 that I caught the animated series, and while I thought it was tongue-in-cheek amusing enough, I figured I was just a few years too old to get well and truly "geeked out" by the animated amphibians'
