Weekend Forecast: Apollo 18, Shark Night 3D, and Helen Mirren Round Out Your Summer

Posted on September 1, 2011 by | Leave a comment

As you fire up the grill and wax philosophical about the meaning of Labor Day this long holiday weekend (i.e. it means no work on Monday!), take a moment to think about the underdogs struggling to do battle at the box office. Killer sharks , astronauts , even the mighty Helen Mirren — none of this week’s new releases may have the power to unseat the chick-lit segregation drama The Help , which could well sweep all comers under the rug with another #1 weekend showing. Bet you never envisioned the summer blockbuster season would end this way, did ya?

Die Hard 5 Gets Max Payne Director

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

20th Century Fox and star Bruce Willis have settled on a director for Die Hard 5 : John Moore ( Behind Enemy Lines, The Omen ), who most recently helmed the 2008 shooter pic Max Payne . The John McClane five-quel will film in Russia with a rumored $100 million budget, according to Deadline, which reports that Moore is currently in negotiations. The real question is, with the 56-year-old Willis still going strong in action hero mode 23 years after he first cracked wise in the inaugural Die Hard , will these film ever truly die, hard or otherwise?

Postcard from Venice: George Clooney, Plus Lightning. Which Is More Spectacular?

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Greetings from Venice, and from the 68th Venice Film Festival! I arrived here too late to catch the press screening of the festival’s opening film, George Clooney’s The Ides of March , which I’ve been looking forward to for months. That will have to wait until Toronto, next week. But I did happen to catch two spectacular visions my first night here: First a red-carpet sighting of George Clooney, cheered on by a noisy gang of delighted Italian fans, and a lightning storm over the lagoon, sans rain, unlike any I’ve ever seen.

Talkback: Is a Romancing the Stone TV Remake Your Worst Nightmare?

Posted on August 31, 2011 by | Leave a comment

I admit, I can tolerate remakes. Everything from Fame and Footloose to Dirty Dancing and that globetrotting version of Clue are fine by me, even if they’re terribly executed. I just don’t have to see some of them! But something about the news of NBC’ s planned TV series adaptation of Romancing the Stone just hurts. Romancing the Stone , of course, is the 1984 action/adventure romantic comedy starring Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas. Could you stand to watch a Romancing the Stone series?
