Could Frank Martin, the titular "transporter" from the popular action series THE TRANSPORTER, be gay? I'd be lying if I said I didn't think the films were a little homoerotic but I didn't think Jason Statham's character was literally a homosexual. Turns out though that's exactly what Louis Leterrier, director of TRANSPORTER 2 and later THE INCREDIBLE HULK, had in mind. Leterrier said that he shot the second TRANSPORTER...

HBO hoped to have a huge hit on their hands when they launched the big-budget drama series "Rome" with a time slot directly after "The Sopranos." While the drama, co-produced with the BBC, had decent ratings and wound up with 11 Emmys in two years, it was also insanely expensive and "Rome" was canceled after two years. But that might not be the end of the show that HBO executives later claimed they prematurely...

I wasn't a huge fan of Tim Burton's remake of PLANET OF THE APES, and I think it's safe to say I wasn't the only one who shared that sentiment. It baffles me then, that 20th Century Fox is said to be interested in remaking CONQUEST OF THE PLANET OF THE APES, the story of Caesar, the first ape with speech who started the events that led to a world where monkeys ruled. Fox's Tom Rothman says:
We are very close at...

Ever since I heard Gambit's thick, cajun drawl in the original X-men animated series, he became and has since remained my favorite of all the heroic mutants. It's fitting then, that one of my favorite young actors working today--Taylor Kitsch--is portraying the explosive ladies man in the upcoming WOLVERINE. Kitsch plays badboy Tim Riggins on the critically acclaimed series "Friday Night Lights" which is perhaps my...

To say things have been slow round these parts lately would be a gross understatement. The other night I was considering posting a story about Jim Carrey sneezing but i figured a line had to be drawn somewhere. Hopefully with the holidays coming to a close, things will pick up this week and I won't have to post stories about Kelsey Grammer, Charles S. Dutton, Megan Mullaly, Debbie Allen and Bebe Neuwirth's casting as the...

Brian Goodman's trailer for WHAT DOESN'T KILL YOU hit the web today and you can check it out BELOW. In the movie Ethan Hawke and Mark Ruffalo star as childhood friends in South Boston who turn to crime, much to the detriment of their friendship and their personal lives. It is based on Goodman's life.
I don't know, I've never been to Boston, but I always figured people from there said stuff like "Fahk yew", like in GONE...

Plot: Frank Martin (Jason Statham) is back, and this time, he has to transport a mysterious Ukrainian girl named Valentina (Natalya Rudakova) from Marseille to Budapest. As an added incentive, Martin has an explosive bracelet locked to his wrist which will explode if he moves more than 75 feet from his signature Audi.
Review: I really liked the first TRANSPORTER film. It was a rock solid b- movie that showed Jason Statham had...

Plot: The life and death of Harvey Milk (Sean Penn), who, during the seventies, became the first openly gay man to hold public office, when he was elected as a city supervisor in San Francisco.
Review: MILK is a triumphant return to the mainstream for director Gus Van Sant. Having initially made his name in the realm of independent film, he hit the big time in the late nineties after directing GOOD WILL HUNTING. After following that...
