FilmBuzz : Variety: Seesawing from the gleefully stupid to the desperately stupid, “Step Brothers” has made one too many trips to the well.

FilmBuzz : What most characterized the history of The X Files? The lawsuits between Fox, Chris Carter and David Duchovny. Finally, they're all done.

FilmBuzz : According to the news at Comic-Con, primary filming for X-Men: Wolverine just wrapped, yes, starring Hugh Jackman.

FilmBuzz : A bit of confusion, now the industry buzz is that Tim Burton's working on Alice in Wonderland, NOT Alice Down Under. Cast: Mia Wasikowska

FilmBuzz : Gonzo journalist Evan Wright, author of "Generation Kill" signed to write "Cocaine Cowboys" for Paramount.


FilmBuzz : Go see "Journey to the Center of the Earth" in 3D then think about this: George Lucas wants to repurpose all six Star Wars movies into 3D.

FilmBuzz : Curious whether film production companies are buying online ads for their movies? Check out the ads at http://www.filmbuzznews.com/

FilmBuzz : Columbia Pictures has hired Walt Becker to direct "Stealing Time", a pretty cool sounding time travel action thriller.

FilmBuzz : Watching The Naked City (1948) and realizing how brilliantly the voice-over narration adds to the tension and wry sarcastic tone of the film

FilmBuzz : Hancock director Peter Berg has a new project in his sights: Hercules. Hmmm.... could be just the right guy for that project.

FilmBuzz : Breaking news at Comic-Con San Diego: A sequel to the successful "300". Written by Frank Miller. Nice!

FilmBuzz : Too bad, Chris Carter. New X-Files film receives reviews that "not much better than an average episode of the venerable series"

FilmBuzz : Cheerleader possessed by demon, feeds off boys in Minnesota town. Best friend must stop her, go after Satan-worshiping band: Jennifer's Body

FilmBuzz : @Sweetnote I can imagine that they'll have an educational campaign to teach you how to interact with Rocky Horror on TV screen... yech

Sweetnote : @FilmBuzz Please say it isn't so! Oh My Gosh! When are the studios EVER gonna learn? You're right VERY depressing news! Rocky!! Rocky!!!

FilmBuzz : Okay, so was Moses in The Ten Commandments REALLY Charlton Heston's best role on screen??

FilmBuzz : @desertsdontsnow don't tell me you liked the Omega Man! :-)

desertsdontsnow : @FilmBuzz Haha! Man I could never work up the courage to the the 2001 version of a Charlton Heston classic. I knew there was no contest.

FilmBuzz : Tried watching "Planet of the Apes" remake from 2001 with Wahlberg, Giomatti and Roth, but 20 minutes in it was clear it just sucks. Yech.

bowlerinaz : @FilmBuzz true...I just think I might of been guilty of overlooking some of its flaws because of the awesome performance of Heath Ledger

FilmBuzz : @bowlerinaz Yes, that aspect of The Dark Knight was a bit manipulative of us audience members. An interesting - and annoying - storyline

FilmBuzz : Very interesting choice of next project: Tim Burton's working on Alice Down Under.

FilmBuzz : @bowlerinaz I actually felt myself dozing off a tiny bit a coupe of times later in the movie. It's really pretty long too. :-)

bowlerinaz : @FilmBuzz I saw it with someone who got up and left 45 mins into it...but i am in the majority of those who loved it

FilmBuzz : @MarkEckenrode It wasn't rated R? That shocks me. Says a lot about our society - as does the popularity of the film given its theme.

FilmBuzz : By the way, @mariosundar , I bet that there are a lot more people who didn't like The Dark Knight. We're in a bubble here in Twitterville.


FilmBuzz : @MarkEckenrode sure, but I think it's different in that you see The Godfather expecting it to be violent/aggressive. But a batman film?

FilmBuzz : Came out of the theater reeling (pun not intended) and rady to just go hide in a cave or something.

MarkEckenrode : @FilmBuzz like Godfather wasn't? Just sayin.

FilmBuzz : I remember walking out of "Enter the Dragon" being conscious that I was in a different frame of mind than normal. Same with The Dark Knight.

FilmBuzz : I liked how they played with the story arc, the production was brilliantly done, but it felt like too much, oozing into a horror film.

FilmBuzz : So, dare I say it for the flim now at #1 on IMDB? I didn't like The Dark Knight. Too depressing, too intense, too aggressive.

FilmBuzz : Congrats New Orleans: 14 productions shot there in 2007 and so far 13 have been made 10 more scouting for locations in the Big Easy in '08

MarilynM : @FilmBuzz - i'm laughing just reading that pitch line re Accidentes... :)

FilmBuzz : Ah, earlier I mentioned Ben Lyons as replacement for "At The Movies". Turns out he's E! Entertainment critic. Psst Disney, wrong demographic

FilmBuzz : Sacha Baron Cohen as an ambulance-chasing personal injury lawyer? Fox Atomic just bought rights to it. Working title: Accidentes.

FilmBuzz : Want to join me to see The Dark Knight today? 3:25 showing @ Boulder Century. Meet in front at 3:15. Msg me so I know to expect you!

FilmBuzz : @a2armory yeah, I think I agree with that. What are you thinking of, however, in particular?

a2armory : @FilmBuzz Zemekis always cops out in the end, very few of his films hold up in my opinion

efrain : @FilmBuzz fan i am of Contact and Jodie Foster

lynnterry : @FilmBuzz Love Jodie Foster. One of my old faves is Somersby. Excellent movie.

FilmBuzz : Watching Jodie Foster in the splendid, smart sci-fi film "Contact". Any other fans?

FilmBuzz : Hopefully I will be able to get to see Dark Knight tomorrow afternoon. Finally.

FilmBuzz : Ken Follett's fascinating "Pillars of the Earth" set for a miniseries. If they do it right... :-)

WendyM : @FilmBuzz - Ben Lyons is on E! very young

FilmBuzz : New hosts for "At The Movies" announced: Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz. The latter is pretty good (works on AMC) but Lyons? No clue.

FilmBuzz : Bronx-set "City Island" started shooting today in NYC, with Alan Arkin, Andy Garcia, Emily Mortimer and Julianna Margulies starring.

themantisofdoom : @FilmBuzz Oh no! One of my absolute favorite working actors. :(
