Not too long ago we ran a story revealing the first image of the new
Hulk from the upcoming INCREDIBLE HULK
reboot. We now have an even better JPEG revealing a cleaned up image of the Hulk that we thought you’d enjoy. Just by looking I can tell you that I’m liking this version of the Hulk much better already. The veins pulsating in the arms, the more human proportions of the body—the vastly improved haircut… It seems that this time around the filmmakers have actually consulted the comic book to see how the Hulk should be done.
Check him out inside, and let us know if they're getting it right this time!
The first teaser ad for NBC’s KNIGHT RIDER reboot has been
released. The ad doesn’t reveal too much beyond the fact that the 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR that was rumored to be the new
KITT, will in fact be the new KITT. The series will premiere with a TV movie pilot, which (if it doesn’t bomb too badly) will expand into a regular series.
Check out the trailer inside and let us know what you think about the new K.I.T.T.!
THE UNIT made a so-so return from the limbo of the WGA strike this week, offering up a forgettable episode, (which I in fact forgot to watch for the better part of a week.) Jonas was the lone soldier in the field, stationed in London where he and an old friend from British Intellegence were tracking a Russian arms dealer suspected of selling enriched uranium to potential terrorists. Every time Jonas and his partner were about to get the drop on the dealer, the Russian managed to slip away.
“Am I Orson Welles? Obviously not. But 50 years from now, who knows how, as a person, I'll have grown? I've already changed, from being a 26-year-old kid to a 38-year-old guy -- I'm not a man yet, really. But as I get older, who knows how my experiences and my knowledge, this past 12 years making movies, how that's all going to affect the movies that I make? I know that the life I lived from 16 to 26 allowed me to make a movie like RUSH HOUR, so now let's see...”
As of December 25, 2007, THERE WILL BE BLOOD, the latest film by writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson (BOOGIE NIGHTS), and starring acting juggernaut Daniel Day Lewis, has scored a mind-blowing 100 percent on
MetaCritic! Now granted, only six reviews have been factored into BLOOD’s perfect score; however those reviews are coming from pretty big-name publications like NEWSWEEK, PREMIERE, VARIETY, and a small periodical you may have heard of, THE NEW YORKER.
By now you’ve probably seen the trailers of THE BUCKET LIST on TV: rich white guy with terminal cancer gets put into a hospital room with a smart working class black guy with terminal cancer. The two bond and go on a series of final adventures together. It sounds a little hokey, but with (I think) a single glaring exception, director Rob Reiner pulls off this combo tear-jerker comedy. Of course, he couldn’t have done it without Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
