  Filed under: Action & Adventure, Trailer Trash, Movie MarketingI cannot remember the last time I was so excited for an action flick as I am for Clive Owen's new gun-crazy movie Shoot 'Em Up, which relies on the premise: "Violence is one of the most fun things to watch."

  Filed under: Comedy, Drama, New Releases, MGM, The Weinstein Co., InterviewsThe immensely popular 2002 novel The Nanny Diaries had two writers, so it's only fitting that the movie version has two directors.

  Filed under: Comedy, Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, MGM, Remakes and SequelsWell over a year ago I covered a Bloody-Disgusting report that said Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti might be playing Colonel Parker in Don Coscarelli's Bubba Ho-tep sequel. And then I pretty much forgot about the whole thing. But those non-stop movie freaks over at Rotten

I've been told by a couple of people who've read The Nanny Diaries and seen the film that the latter is a pale, scrubbed imitation of the book -- to which I reply, 'when was that ever not the case?' I've never read The Nanny Diaries, but I enjoyed the

  Filed under: Comedy, Drama, Thrillers, Box Office, Tom CruiseI'm sure Jerry Seinfeld and the other people involved with his latest film had hoped it would BEE number one (oh God, that joke was a cry for help, please call my parents), but the top spot went to Ridley Scott's American Gangster. Seinfeld and company still can't complain too much about

  Filed under: Comedy, New Releases, Warner Brothers, Theatrical Reviews, Family FilmsWhether or not you're going to enjoy Fred Claus pretty much boils down to one easy question: Do you like Vince Vaughn?

  Filed under: Action, Celebrities and Controversy, Movie MarketingWe see guns and violence everywhere. It's on the television, on the big screen, in the papers, in the books.

  Filed under: Action, Casting, DealsI am, by no means, a big fan of medieval themes, although a movie here and there, or an occasional trip to a Renaissance Faire is fun. But man, Ironclad is sounding awesome. Variety reports that the film is the first project for the newly formed Mythic International Entertainment, and will be directed by Jonathan
