2008-06-14 18:32:00 by Jessica Barnes in Cinematical
Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy , Deals , Warner Brothers , Scripts When it comes to fantasy, I'm all for putting the unexplainable in otherwise 'normal' situations -- I could go on and on about the work of Neil Gaiman for this very reason -- so you can probably understand why I'm already sold on WB's latest acquisition. Variety reports that...

2008-02-05 13:53:49 by Editor in SF Signal
February is a rather lean month for science fiction or fantasy movies, at least in terms of numbers, but not in terms of big names. Let's take a look, shall we? Jumper First up on the docket is Jumper , based on the novels by Stephen Gould. It's directed by Doug Liman, who, were relentlessly told, is the director of The Bourne Identity and Mr. &...

Before I get started today, a hearty huzzah and thanks to the Macon Film Guild for screening Todd Haynes' maddeningly entertaining "I'm Not There" (and to Camp Bacon for guiding me to the balcony for a better seat after a flat tire forced me to arrive as the opening credits were already rolling Though you could certainly complain that Haynes...

I swear, this happens every single year - I realize it's June, and that I have a week to procure buccaneer boots, or a new bodice. (Other girls need...

2007-12-06 21:31:00 by Bemis in Cinevistaramascope
Even with its newfangled three-dimensional gimmickry, Beowulf is a drag. A pair of wonderfully strange, kinky performances from Crispin Glover and Angelina Jolie aside, Robert Zemeckis' film is a leaden affair, bogged down by Zemeckis' misguided allegiance to motion capture.
