Dateline: Wednesday November 22, 2006

Ever notice how people say “Happy Turkey Day” even though everyone but the turkeys are happy? Well on the eve of that wonderful holiday, I’m gonna let you guys chew on that while you read today’s wonderful news!

Spidey! Back in Black!…and ummm Red.

In honor of the new spidey flick, Sony Pictures has released two new posters to lead them into the May 4 release of the film. I can already tell you that my ebay account is being used to find these posters to be hung on my wall.

Bruce Lee, Still Kickin’ It.

Director Rob Cohen’s new film Rage & Fury is in the works, and reportedly will feature a cameo by Bruce Lee. I’m sure some of you may know about that whole family curse thing, and that Bruce Lee is deceased. Cohen is not worried though, he and Digital Domain (one of the best digital effects companies in the biz) say no big deal, they will just create a digital Bruce Lee.

No Nerds Allowed!

First titled Revenge of the Nerds, then just Nerds, it looks like this remake is just not going to happen. I really wanted to see Efren Ramirez in another film not titled Napoleon Dynamite, oh and don’t worry, I had a big cup of sarcasm this morning.

July 18th, I Will Be Busy…

According to Movieweb.com, a release date for the new sequel to Batman Begins will be July 18. The Dark Knight will star Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Heath Ledger as The Joker. Where does he get those wonderful toys?

If you need movie reviews right now, though, here are some hot ones:

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny - by Cole Abaius
Casino Royale - by Chris Beaumont
Bobby - by Neil Miller

Until tomorrow…
