Studio Won’t Preview G.I. Joe for Critics

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Action, Adaptation, Adventure, New Releases

When it comes to summer blockbusters, most people already have in mind what they plan on seeing…long before the movie even comes out. So when it comes to critical reviews, does anyone even care?

Despite mixed reviews for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the sequel went on to make a killing in its first weekend. But Paramount isn’t willing to take that risk again.

Pineapple Express Meets Disinterest at Comic-Con

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Adventure, Comedy, Box Office, Rumors, Upcoming Releases

While it never appears to be a good sign when at least a third of an audience leaves prior to one’s panel at Comic-Con, I am definitely rooting for Pineapple Express when it hits theaters in a couple weeks!

As depressing as that can be for anyone at such a hyped event, I would venture to say that Judd Apatow‘s latest project failed to meet success at the event due to misplacement. I mean, promoting a stoner movie to die-hard comic book fans? These are audiences who went crazy last year over The Dark Knight and The Incredible Hulk, and this year with Watchmen—not exactly the type whose favorite movies include Dazed and Confused or Dude, Where’s My Car?.

Spider-Man 3 Sneak Peek

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Columbia Pictures, Action, Adaptation, Sequels, Upcoming Releases, Theatrical Reviews

The screening of Spider-Man 3 went off this weekend without a hitch, and that can only mean one thing. Early reviews are in…does the third installment to the superhero melodrama compare to the first two flicks? Spidey fans, even comic book purists, probably won’t be disappointed when the new film comes to theatres this spring. The cast reunites to reprise former roles, with Tobey Maguire in the lead as Spider-Man/Peter Parker, Kirsten Dunst as Mary Jane, and all the old faces from the past two Spidey flicks coming together again. Topher Grace and Bryce Dallas Howard have joined the cast this time around, further expanding the Spider-Man family. Looking for a Spidey flick filled with cool special effects, a compelling plot, panoramic scenes, intense villains? Spider-Man 3 offers all of that…and more. The movie won’t make it to the U. S. until May 1, 2007, but some have already enjoyed a private screening of the film, so fans can get an early taste of all the Venom-ous action.
