I have heard good things about "Definitely, Maybe", but haven't seen it myself. Got a 72 on the Rotten Tomato score = good.

I think Snipes has done a poor job of picking projects, actually, so Murder at 1600 stands out in his oeuvre. :-)
FilmBuzz
:
Watching Murder at 1600 -- have to say it's the most cerebral film Westley Snipes has starred in, and it's not bad at all...
FilmBuzz
:
Not a storyline I want to see: "Red", a smalltown widower tries to get justice after three teen hoodlums kill his dog. Stars Brian Cox.
FilmBuzz
:
How much did it cost to make "The Dark Knight", you may have wondered? ComingSoon reports it had a $185 million price tag. Phew!
FilmBuzz
:
No surprise: Variety says "Star Wars: Clone Wars serves as quick fix for die-hard fans waiting for Cartoon Network series." Not very glowing
FilmBuzz

Btw, true confession: I never finished watching Pan's Labyrinth. It just got too weird for me and I eventually ran out of inerest.

@RobMcNealy
Certainly del Toro seems to think so. And they all have eyeballs in their palms, oddly enough.
FilmBuzz
:
Today's topic: Is Guillermo del Toro tapped out as a creative director? I was shocked how much Hellboy II *looked* like Pan's Labyrinth.

I agree that Bicentennial Man wasn't very good, but I'm tired of Robin Williams anyway. HP1? I liked it, actually.

maybe this will help them make an awesome movie...don't worry...i'm not holding my breath

Mummy III did splendidly in weekend international box office: $56.1 million at 6453 screenings in 49 markets. Too bad the movie's not good.
FilmBuzz
:
Of course, renewal of Dreamworks interest in 'Tusker' could be related to pending funding from India's Reliance ADA Group. Big, big bucks.
FilmBuzz
:
Liked Dreamworks "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"? They're resurrecting "Tusker", animation set in Indian, about an elephant.

:
Could be a graet film: Chris (Harry Potter) Columbus to direct feature about Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential run.

Happy 20th Birthday to RenderMan, one of the most important additions to animation in its history. From Pixar!

I don't want to stay up late, but there's a terrific Doris Day movie starting in 20 minutes, with Rock Hudson: "The Tunnel of Love". :-)

Early weekend buzz has Dark Knight in
#1

Sad news: Comedian and actor Bernie Mac died of Pneumonia at the young age of 50. He'll be missed.
FilmBuzz
:
Stoner comedy "Pineapple Express" opened well to $12.1 mil box office take on Wednesday. Not bad, boys, not bad.

New Adam Sandler movie "Bedtime Stories" opening Christmas Day stars Guy Pearce, Keri Russell, Courteney Cox, Aisha Tyler and Jonathan Pryce

@LeStew
Yeah, I think Brandon is better - and has more fun - in Journey to the Center of the Earth. Haven't seen all of that yet, tho...
FilmBuzz
:
Watching an oldie but goodie: "The Hunt for Red October". It's easily the best of Clancy's books too, for that matter.
FilmBuzz
:
Saw Mummy III and ya know what? It basically sucked, both technically and its weak storyline. Disappointing to say the least
FilmBuzz
:
Ealing Studios' "Dorian Gray" cast announced: Rebecca Hall, Ben Chaplin, Emilia Fox, and Max Irons (son of Jeremy Irons). I have high hopes
FilmBuzz
:
TV news: Toon Disney to relaunch in early 2009 as "Disney XD", focused on programming for boys 6-14. Guess kids watching cartoons is over?
FilmBuzz
:
Princess Pictures launches with rights to Wolves in Chic Clothing, My Legendary Girlfriend, Strapless and more. Films in $5-20 mil range
FilmBuzz
:
Apparently the tedious "District 13" wasn't enough, new Parkour heist drama coming from New Line, directed by Richie Smyth.
FilmBuzz
:
Columbia Pictures has acquired rights to teen novel series "Maximum Ride", and hired Don Payne (Fantastic 4: Silver Surfer) to write script
FilmBuzz
:
Columbia Pics signed Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless to write script for new treatment of "Flash Gordon". Hmmm....
FilmBuzz
:
George Lucas tells "The Sunday" (UK) that a fifth Indiana Jones movie is a definite possibility if - and only if - Harrison Ford is involved

DVDs may be overcome by computer downloading. seems to be the thing to do sometimes-or watch thru a site like NBC did a lot of pam

Congrats to Lionsgate Films: revenue up 50% over last year for Rambo and Eye DVD releases. DVDs are not going away any time soon....
FilmBuzz

This could be interesting: China Film Group planning $22mil biopic about Confucius, to be released in 2009: his 2560th birthday.
FilmBuzz

Proving a franchise can never die, Lethal Weapon 5 script circulating in Hollywood. No word whether Gibson and Glover are interested, tho.

Congrats to Warner Bros: The Dark Knight has surpassed Spiderman in ticket sales, now

- Stargate Continuum DVD will be good for fans of the series - but probably won't mean as much to those who haven't watched
FilmBuzz
:
Top DVD sellers for last week were "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay" and "Stargate: Continuum" in a tie. I wouldn't even rent em

Hot rumor: Hollywood bad boy Quentin Tarantino planning remake of "Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!" with Britney Spears (!!) in the title role.
