William Hurt’s Name is Earl in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood

William Hurt’s Name is Earl in Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood

It appears as if William Hurt is now set to play one of the men who were present at the signing of one of the most important charters in British history. It is likely that is won’t make it into Ridley Scott’s new movie, though.

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Smashed My Expectations

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Smashed My Expectations

In the tradition of X-Men and Spider-Man, this version of The Incredible Hulk is a solid adaptation for the big screen that retains its comic book feel.

AMAA Says The Incredible Hulk is Smokin’, In the Wrong Kind of Way

AMAA Says The Incredible Hulk is Smokin’, In the Wrong Kind of Way

We are not kidding about this, unfortunately — the AMAA is claiming that there is too much smoking in The Incredible Hulk, and that it should be downgraded to an R rating. Personally, we want to know what they’re on…

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Flexes CGI Muscle in All the Right Ways

‘The Incredible Hulk’ Flexes CGI Muscle in All the Right Ways

After the emotionally draining experience that was Iron Man in early May, the fanboy inside of me was sure that there was no way that Marvel Studios could go two-for-two in the Summer of ‘08. Go figure, I was wrong.

Building a New Hulk: Inside The Incredible Hulk

After being in comic books, on television and in a feature film in 2003, the Hulk franchise is getting rebooted. Like the television series, this film finds Bruce Banner (Edward Norton) on the run, trying to discover a cure for the gamma radiation that turns him into the Hulk when he gets angry.

Incredible Hulk Behind the Scenes Featurette — Hulk is Hero!

Incredible Hulk Behind the Scenes Featurette — Hulk is Hero!

Why does it feel like The Incredible Hulk is the odd-man out when it comes to this year’s summer movie line-up? In my mind, it has something to do with the slow manner in which Universal Studios has marketed the film, waiting until only recently to release the first teaser trailer. Or at least, that [...]

Making Some Noise: A Q&A With Director Henry Bean

Making Some Noise: A Q&A With Director Henry Bean

Henry Bean’s latest film, Noise, about a man who tries to silence New York City by breaking into cars and disconnecting the alarms is based on a true story. It’s partly his own. I don’t just mean he wrote the script. I mean it’s based on his own life.

AFI Dallas 08: Noise

AFI Dallas 08: Noise

Al Gore has global warming. Rev. Jim Phelps has homosexuality. Uwe Boll has film critics. Everyone needs something to fight whether it matters to the rest of the world or not and director Henry Bean takes noise pollution to task in his sarcastic, clever, witty David and Goliath comedy Noise.

Sundance Preview: The Yellow Handkerchief

The Yellow Handkerchief seems like a very odd film, but I am a least interested.

Mr. Brooks

Mr. Brooks

We all have guilty pleasures. Chocolate. Hannity & Colmes. John Tesh music. Snorting blow off the buttocks of a Thai hooker. The one thing all those have in common though is their general acceptance by polite society. My own guilty pleasure is more embarrassing than these, and I rarely find myself able to talk about [...]

Mr. Brooks

I didn’t expect to like Mr. Brooks although I was originally intrigued by the idea of Robin Hood playing a serial killer.
