Starting to get some buzz about “Daybreakers” – yes, another vampire movie! Well, that’s fine with me. I love vampire movies.
This one stars Ethan Hawke as Edward Dalton, a researcher in the year 2019 investigating an unknown plague that’s transformed the world’s population into vampires. As the human population nears extinction, vampires must capture and farm every remaining human, or find a blood substitute before time runs out. 
However, a covert group of vampires makes a remarkable discovery, one which has the power to save the human race.
“Daybreakers” hits theaters on Jan. 8, 2010 and also stars Willem Dafoe, …read more

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

Dakota Fanning stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres show to plug “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” as well as show a new clip. That Ellen is such a prankster, though; she pulled a little vampire switch on Dakota (who’s totally grown up now!). “New Moon” hits theaters this Friday, Nov. 20, 2009.

“Ninja Assassin” has been getting a lot of buzz lately. It premiered at the Austin Fantastic Fest in September, and Vancouver International Film Festival in October. It opens wide in theaters on Nov. 25, 2009.
I’m thinking it must have some pretty good stunts, and it’s written by one of my favorite screenwriters, J. Michael Straczynski (“Babylon 5”), which makes it ripe for a TV series!
It also looks like the kind of movie that’s going to make me want to go home and do a couple of sit-ups – until the feeling quickly passes.
“Ninja Assassin” tells the …read more

Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson) is an average high school student and comic book nerd who one day decides to don a suit and mask and become a superhero, even though he has no powers, no training, and no meaningful reason to be a superhero.
So goes the plot of “Kick-Ass,” the high-octane movie from director Matthew Vaughn. But even though Kick-Ass (Dave’s new superhero name) has no powers, he inspires a subculture of copy cats, is hunted by assorted violent and unpleasant characters, and meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes, including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë …read more

Any movie coming out Nov. 20 is probably going to take a hit at the box office. I say that because people will either be flocking to see “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” or they’ll be avoiding the theater altogether because of all those “New Moon” fans.
But I hope non-“Twilight” fans will get out to see “The Blind Side.” It’s a thoughtful, inspiring movie based on the real-life book by Michael Lewis titled “The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game.”
It’s about a homeless, oversized, uneducated teenager named Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron) who’s taken in by a wealthy woman …read more

Warner Bros. Pictures has released a teaser trailer for director Louis Leterrier’s “Clash of the Titans,” opening in theaters March 26, 2010. As I read that description below, all I can think is how much fun it must be for the guys working on this movie, both in front of the camera and behind the scenes. It looks like a blast!
If you know your mythology, you’re ahead of the game on this one. Sam Worthington plays Perseus; born of a god but raised as a man, he’s helpless to save his family from Hades (Ralph Fiennes), a vengeful god …read more

The combination of Robert Downey, Jr., Jude Law, and Rachel McAdams in the ultimate buddy movie set in Old World Europe is very enticing. It’s got everything, including plenty of action, romance and swashbuckling. Not to mention RDJ without a shirt. That’s what I call a movie.
“Sherlock Holmes” opens in theaters Dec. 25, 2009, and follows the adventures of the famed detective (Downey, Jr.) and his partner John Watson (Law).
Sherlock Holmes 101: He’s a fictional character of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, created by British author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Holmes is a brilliant London-based …read more

Right before “Bruno” was released in theaters, the scene with LaToya Jackson was deleted out of respect for the death of Michael Jackson.
But, of course, it’s included in the special features on the DVD and Blu-ray, hitting shelves Nov. 17, 2009 from Universal Home Entertainment.
The movie stars Sacha Baron Cohen as an Austrian TV host searching for fame and fortune in America. During the process, he pranks any and everyone who crosses his path.
Really, though, you’ve gotta believe that celebrities can see him coming a mile away. It’s not like Cohen hasn’t been on TV and …read more

Here’s a new featurette for The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” in theaters Nov. 20, 2009 (check out our Twilight Groupie blog!). For those who haven’t read the books by Stephenie Meyer, it tells a little more about the mysterious Volturi.
They’re the oldest coven in the “Twilight” universe, and they’re the closest thing the vampires have to royalty. They also enforce the law and keep things in order. A few more bites:

Aro (Michael Sheen) is the most dangerous and deadly vampire.
Marcus (Christopher Heyerdahl) can sniff out treason.
Caius (Jamie Campbell Bower) is perpetually angry.
Aro, Marcus and Caius are in charge, with Jane …read more
