Kristin Davis Joins Journey 2 The Mysterious Island

Kristin Davis Joins ‘Journey 2: The Mysterious Island’ By Russ Fischer/Oct. 22, 2010 5:37 pm EST I wonder if Kristin Davis is realizing that it’s a good time to do something that is very explicitly not like Sex and the City. She’s got a couple of projects brewing. One is a single-camera TV series based on the Gretchen Rubin memoir The Happiness Project, which she’ll star in and co-exec produce with Kristin Newman....

Movie Trailer Howl

Movie Trailer: Howl By Russ Fischer/July 14, 2010 2:00 pm EST On the day that a McSweeney’s parody/recontextualizing of some of Allen Gisnberg’s most famous lines made a little ripple on the internet, it is appropriate that a trailer arrives for Howl, the film that chronicles the creation of the poem Howl and the obscenity trial that eventually followed its publication. James Franco stars as Ginsberg, and just as the film wasn’t widely praised at Sundance (David and Peter didn’t love it) the trailer is only modestly interesting....

Movie Trailer: The Hindi Remake Of ‘Pusher’ By Russ Fischer/Aug. 28, 2010 12:36 pm EST Earlier this week while perusing the IMDB listing for Nicolas Winding Refn, I noticed that he’s credited as writer on a Pusher film with a release date of 2010. The third and final Pusher film, I Am the Angel of Death, was released in 2005. Confused, I checked out some info on the film… turns out it’s a UK-based, Hindi remake of Refn’s original Pusher....

New Photo: Lindsay Lohan In Machete By Russ Fischer/July 19, 2010 11:09 am EST But now there’s a photo of Lohan in costume and it’s looks just about how I always imagined the Blues Brothers’ fantasies about their old headmistress might look. If they had such things. Which, of course, being degenerates, they did. Check it in full after the break. To reiterate some basic details, Robert Rodriguez wrote the Machete script and co-directed the movie with his longtime editor Ethan Maniquis....

Philip Seymour Hoffman Offered Key Role In ‘The Hunger Games: Catching Fire’ By Angie Han/June 12, 2012 6:30 am EST Though most of the early casting rumors for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire have focused on handsome fan favorite Finnick Odair, the very first bit of reliable casting news involves a different character altogether — and, at least in my view, a much more exciting name than any we’ve heard so far for Finnick....

However, with my childhood favorites, it is almost always a depressing experience. Times change, renovations happen, and the locations barely look like they did in the movies. Scouting New York visited Rye Playland, an 82-year old waterfront amusement park which was the location of the famous Zoltar machine from the Tom Hanks movie Big....
