In a world of movie trailers, there was one voice that could save us all… Don LaFontaine. Yesterday, Don LaFontaine, 68, passed away leaving millions of movie goers without a guide. The name might not strike you, but you know the voice a hundred times over. He’s that voice. The voice of movie trailers everywhere. […]

Now this is disappointing. I love a good sci-fi flick featuring a sleek futuristic landscape. So “Babylon A.D.” made an appealing attraction for me up until this evening. After reading how the director, Kassovitz, hates his own movie so much I was a bit concerned. Then I saw this: Yes, that’s right. 0% approval rating. […]

After delaying production of “Transformers 2” for days due to his drunk driving mishap, Shia LaBeouf is back on the set and showing off his damage. Michael Bay told us he’d be writing the hand injury into the story and it appears he did just that. Looks like he even went beyond that with a […]

After being unwilling to pay Tom Cruise his fee of $20 million to star in “Edwin A. Salt”, Columbia Pictures dropped the Top Gun from its spy thriller.
