Watching XXX: SotU it's no surprise that urban kids find the gang/prison life so appealing. It's the gangster that's the cool guy in film
FilmBuzz
:
Watching XXX: State of the Union. I have to say it's entertaining for a mindless action film, but the first one, with Diesel, was better.

AMC continues move into series: developing a new series based on the brilliant "The Conversation" (which was basis of "Enemy of The State")

I can't believe it's now Thursday afternoon and I *still* haven't gotten to the theater to see a movie. And I'm booked 6-10pm tonight. Tmrw?

Interesting point about R rated comedies. But, how do they do in the long run? Usually they start big and disappear fast.
FilmBuzz
:
Ticket sales analysis by Fandango suggests that comedies with an "R" rating actually do better in the box office than PG-13 or PG. Hmmm...
FilmBuzz
:
Warner Bros picked up rights to Whiting's "Tokyo Underworld: Fast Times and Hard Life of American Gangster in Japan". Frank Baldwin to adapt

Chuck Russell's sci-fi action film "Prodigy" announces signing Max Thieriot in the title role.
FilmBuzz

Next project for Barry Levinson is "Train", a noir film in the style of the terrific, gritty "L.A. Confidential". I have high hopes!

Tweeting from the command line? Well, sure!

(( warning: I am testing out some scripts to get the trivia questions online. Finally. Just ignore the dude behind the curtain, eh? ))
FilmBuzz
:
Gore Verbinski ("Pirates" director) lands at Universal, working on film adaptation of Bioshock, a hit video game. Can he get Depp involved?
FilmBuzz
:
Next potentially amusing comedy going into production? "The Spy Next Door". Just signed Jackie Chan to star, from Relativity Media.
FilmBuzz
:
Early buzz for PG-13 comedy "Battle Cry" is: does this mark the true death of PG-13 comedy as a genre? Ouch.
FilmBuzz
:
Good news with Morgan Freeman: He's doing well after surgery to reconnect nerves and repair damage to his left arm post auto-accident.
FilmBuzz
:
Ah, so I didn't get to a movie theater today after all. Tomorrow, maybe Hellboy II, maybe not...
FilmBuzz
:
The Dark Knight expected to break $500 mil at the box office today. Quite a record!
FilmBuzz
:
Dreamworks upcoming "Eagle Eye" to get IMAX trailer in prep of its IMAX opening on Sept 26. Nice to see IMAX with so many wins!
FilmBuzz
:
Don't know much about it, but the title's awesome: "Krod Mandoon and the Flaming Sword of Fire", a new series for Comedy Central.

saw "The Party" as oldest backseat young'un of 4 at the drive-in - one eye open, pretending to be asleep ;) thanks, Mom & Dad!
FilmBuzz
:
Classic Peter Sellers kitsch movie "The Party" due for remake (sigh) by Marco Garibaldi. Sellers stuff is better left pristine, imo, though
FilmBuzz
:
Grisham's non-fiction "Playing for Pizza" optioned, script being written and Adam Shankman set to direct.
FilmBuzz
:
Variety says Tarantino inspired Bishop movie "Hell Ride" is just as boring as the original biker films.
FilmBuzz
:
Great product placement: "Tiffany Case" pulls corpse's wallet, pulls out Playboy Club membership card. How... kitsch!
FilmBuzz
:
Movie starts out with Bond killing Ernst Blofeld. But we all know he's not *really* dead, that'd be too easy... :-)
FilmBuzz
:
Tomorrow going to sneak out and see Hellboy II. Anyone in Boulder up for joining me, prob mid-afternoon??

disposable DVDs have been on the radar screen for movie studios for many years. It's perfect, if you are anti-green, I suppose.

@FilmBuzz
have you seen these $4.99 DVD rentals? You rent, you watch, you throw away.
FilmBuzz
:
Coming this fall: Blockbuster NCR team up to install 10,000 DVD rental kiosks to compete with Redbox. $1/movie/night? Cheaper than VOD!
FilmBuzz

By the way, sorry everyone for the gaffe: Samuel Jackson was on the snake plane. Morgan Freeman was in Wanted and The Dark Knight.
FilmBuzz
:
Ironic: Long-time Hollywood icon Herbert Gold collapsed at reading of his new book "Still Alive!". He's fully recovered, fortunately.
FilmBuzz
:
Very impressive showing for Mummy 3: $61.2 million in 4,020 theaters *in 27 countries*. If not for Dark Knight, it'd be BIG news.

i would like to see the rocker - even just to see "dwight" in something new.
FilmBuzz

Time, Inc. opens film production house. I bet the first movie out of the team will be the tied to Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
FilmBuzz

Actor Morgan Freeman in hospital in Memphis after a bad car accident. Just hope there are no snakes in the clinic. No m'f'ing snakes.
