Robert Pattinson in ‘Remember Me’ Trailer
November 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Here’s some Robert Pattinson news that’s NOT related to “The Twilight Saga: New Moon.” No sparkling vampires in the trailer for “Remember Me,” in which Pattinson and Emilie de Ravin star as two lovers dealing with respective family tragedies.
Directed by Allen Coulter, the Summit Entertainment film also stars Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper, and is set for a March 12, 2010 release date. Remember Me in HD
Trailer for Disney’s A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey
September 26, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
There’s no doubt that Jim Carrey is a talented actor, and he has such a diverse list of movies on his IMDB page. Sometimes they work and sometimes not. My favorite is probably “The Truman Show,” but I’m not so big on the goofier ones like “Ace Ventura” and “Dumb & Dumber.” My son likes those, though.
Some of his recent movies, like “Yes Man” and “Fun with Dick and Jane,” were nice, but completely forgettable. In a way, it almost seems like he’s trying to find his footing again. We’ll see if he can do that with “A Christmas …read more
Is Warners jumping the gun with a Sherlock Holmes sequel?
September 22, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The release of “Sherlock Holmes” is still three months away (it hits theaters Dec. 25, 2009 – I know what our traditional family Christmas movie will be this year!), but a sequel is already in the works.
I guess they’re expecting gigantic box office numbers, and I hope they’re right. Footage of the film played well at Comic-Con, so maybe they’re banking on that.
In the new pic, Brad Pitt is in talks to star as Holmes’ nemesis Moriarty, and Warner Brothers is set to bring on Kieran and Michele Mulroney to pen the draft. They’re the writers behind …read more
Rage to premiere on mobile phones – wave of the future?
September 2, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Whatever happened to the good old days when we’d actually go to theaters and watch movies while munching on salty popcorn covered in buttery goodness?
Hopefully, we’ll never lose that movie-watching experience entirely, because it’s all part of the fun of movies. But new things keep being added, and now a movie is actually premiering on cell phones across the country.
Sally Potter’s new film "Rage" will hit iPhone and iPod devices beginning Sept. 21, with viewers screening one episode from the film each day for seven days.
"Rage" offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into a fictional New York fashion show …read more

July 26, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
With "Alice in Wonderland" heading into theaters March 5, 2010, director Tim Burton and Johnny Depp (the Mad Hatter) are stirring up some buzz.
The frequent collaborators appeared at Comic-Con’s First-Ever 3D Panel featuring Disney’s "A Christmas Carol" (Nov. 6, 2009), "Alice in Wonderland," and "Tron Legacy" (2011) on July 23, 2009 at the San Diego Convention Center.
"Alice" marks the seventh time that Depp has worked under the direction of Burton, and the sixth time for Helena Bonham Carter, who plays The Red Queen.

Ashton Kutcher in new sex comedy Spread
July 8, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Ashton Kutcher seems like he’d be a fun guy to hang out with. I wonder what life is like at home with Demi Moore. They must have a blast together. And between those two and Bruce Willis, they’re like the poster family for blended families.
Kutcher is starring in a new sex-romp comedy called "Spread," about a guy who goes through women like nobody’s business. Until he meets that certain woman (Margarita Levieva) who’s bound to change his perspective on things.
Directed by David Mackenzie, "Spread" also stars Anne Heche, Sebastian Stan, Sonia Rockwell and Maria Conchita Alonso. It’s rated …read more
Robert Downey, Jr. in Sherlock Holmes trailer
July 8, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Can’t wait to see Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law in "Sherlock Holmes," in theaters Dec. 25, 2009 (that’s a new date – it was originally Nov. 20).
Downey, Jr. plays the legendary detective, while Law stars as his trusted colleague, Watson, a doctor and war veteran. Rachel McAdams stars as Irene Adler, a woman who has a tempestuous relationship with Holmes. Mark Strong stars as their mysterious new adversary, Blackwood, and Kelly Reilly will play Watson’s love interest, Mary.
But mostly, It’s all about RDJ for me. Thanks to MTV for the trailer below. Looks awesome!
Transformers 3 gets a release date
March 16, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The third "Transformers" movie has a release date: July 1, 2011.
That will set the action flick up for a nice box office haul over the Fourth of July holiday, especially since there are no other release dates set for that weekend (though I’m sure that will change).
The second movie, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen," will explode into theaters on June 24, 2009. I’d say it’s the most anticipated summer blockbuster at the moment, followed by "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," in theaters July 17, 2009.

Film Gecko: 16 Movies I Can’t Wait to See in 2009
March 4, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
There are some fantastic movies coming up in 2009, and while you never know how a movie will fare until you actually see it, I’ve picked out 16 movies that I think will knock us out with their awesomeness. See if you agree, and add your own in the comments!
1. Watchmen (March 6). “Who watches the Watchmen?” That’s the question in this graphic-novel-turned-movie directed by Zach Snyder. Vigilantes, murders, superheroes, and lots of good and bad karma populate this movie, along with stars Billy Crudup, Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jackie Earle Haley.
