Though this film had me at “achingly romantic,” I cringe at the thought of someone rolling their eyes and overlooking this remarkable film at the fault of the advertisers who betrayed this film’s distinct uniqueness.

Based on the 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson, Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the last man living in New York City…

Realness is easy to take for granted. One thinks it’s just common sense, but what really makes something “real.”

Joining the Sex And The City: The Movie ensemble is Academy Award winner, Jennifer Hudson. The “American Idol” contestant is set to play Carrie Bradshaw’s assistant in this fan-ticipated flick. The film brings us back to the Big Apple, where Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda, and Samantha are still living it up; four years after we left them in the final episode that aired in 2004. Are they happy?

There are rumors of remakes and sequels floating around about all sorts of 80’s hits including The Goonies Animated and Ferris Bueller: Another Day Off; some even with merit, like Indiana Jones 4. The next victim is the 1987 teen vamp classic, The Lost Boys. Granted, the 80’s is arguable the best decade for teen and family flicks, so I can’t blame Hollywood for trying to recreate some of that magic.

Helena Bonham Carter is back as evil bad-ass Bellatrix in the sixth installment of the Harry Potter cash-cow series, ropeofsilicon.com reports. She is the first in the cast to confirm a return outside of the heroic trio; Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint.

Ben Affleck is currently in the negotiation phase of signing a contract with New Line for a part in He’s Just Not That Into You, a film based on the bestselling book by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo and originally inspired by a famous quote from the Sex and the City HBO series.

The greatest time period in cinematic history has to be the 80’s. Before you gag, let me just remind of you some of the classic 80’s movies that defined pop culture. The Breakfast Club, E.T., Die Hard, and of course, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off . . . and there’s talk of a sequel. Now, you’re allowed to gag. I don’t know how I feel about this. I am simultaneously appalled and guiltily excited about the possibility.

Eleven were injured Sunday night, at the set of Tom Cruise’s new film, Valkyrie, when they flew off a truck, Berlin police stated. According to a United Artist producer’s spokesman, the accident occurred when a side panel of the vehicle, which was made of wooden slates, burst open during a harsh turn near Potsdamer Platz in Berlin, causing the extras to fall out.

In observance of recently declared National Nanny Week, which begins Friday, August 17, stores such as Victoria’s Secret, Blockbuster, and Baskin Robbins will offer discounts and coupons for their services and products according to a press release distributed by The Weinstein Company. A fantastic marketing scheme, this week also just happens to be observed one week prior to the opening of the film The Nanny Diaries.

The Internet has been a buzz with rumors that the CW’s recently retired (or should I say euthanized) detective show, “Veronica Mars,” will be made into a movie. Following the shows abrupt end last May, fans and hopefuls longed, pleaded, and offered up their first born child for an on-screen resurrection. Take a look at any message board, and you’ll see what I mean. One man even proposed during a “Veronica Mars” commercial break.

Imagine living your life on the run, unable to remember what your real name is, and having the only person you ever loved (as far as you can remember . . .) shot dead because of your relationship with her? It must suck to be Jason Bourne.

When people fall in love with Shia LaBeouf, they just can’t get enough of him. Spielberg cast him in The Fourth Installment of the Indian Jones Adventure and he executively produced LaBeouf’s summer’s blockbuster Transformers. Apparently, he’s the next Tom Hanks. Now Disturbia director D.J. Caruso and star LaBeouf team up again for DreamWorks’ new thriller Eagle Eye.

Here, my friends, is the epitome of the Hollywood Blockbuster. Big, flashy, entertaining, and charming, this movie made me remember what it was like to see through the eyes of my 6-year-old self again. How the heck did they make a mere car turn into a friggin’ robot right before my eyes?!? Magic of course! [...]
