Nice and early yesterday morning, the movie world welcomed the official release of the 52^nd Oscar nominations, but not everyone has been left to thank the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

As the nominations reflect the work of this past year’s films and filmmakers, Oscar buzz has certainly left a sour lump in the back of Buried Screenwriter Chris Sparling’s throat. Unfortunately for Sparling, [...]

A weekend or school holiday trip to the movies has long been a staple occurrence to the coming of age of millions of teenagers the world over. Catching a flick without Mummy or Daddy for the first time is a monumental right of passage: more-so if you’re daring enough to let them buy you a ticket to something they want you to see and then sneak into a [...]

Welcome to 2011… this year, the Gods of cinema have a gift they’re sure you’ll love, but nevertheless cannot exchange or refund! In the wake of franchise returns for Meet the Parents: Little Fockers, The Chronicles of Narnia: the Voyage of the Dawn Treader and Pirates of the Caribbean: [...]

With the series drawing nearer and nearer to a close, and with the [...]

With Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 opening this week and with “Potter-Mania” about to hit fever pitch again, I thought I would pose the big question…why Harry?

The Potter books have sold in excess of 400 million copies (I didn’t even know that many people could read) [...]

This week, WTF is doing a double take:  merely three days ago, I caught Michelle Rodriguez supporting Danny Trejo’s ex-federale-turned-political-assassin-turned-hyper-exploitation-style-revenge-ass-kicker in Robert Rodriguez’s Machete (review coming soon). Today, I learn that Rodriguez has signed on to support yet another ex-badass-in-Texas who is out to avenge his murdered family in Paul Schrader’s The Jesuit, which is also set to star Willem Dafoe, Paz Vega and Manolo Cardona.
