E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial   Blu-Ray Review By: MattInRC Make sure to follow MattInRC on Twitter for all his updates and reviews. The instant classic  E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial  arrives in a stunning Blu-ray release that's a must-have catalog release. There are few films in the pantheon of great ones that supplant  E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial .  Growing up when the film was released in 1982, I honestly ignored it as I took to the theaters to watch Blade Runner, the re-run of  Empire Strikes Back,  and played with my Star Wars figures.  To me,  E.T.  seemed neither deep enough nor dark enough for my tastes.  It wasn't until its recent release onto Blu-ray that I learned what all the fuss was about; and while I take nothing away from  Blade Runner  and its remarkable achievements, I can see why so many people revere  E.T.   The reasons are hard to pin down, but I think it offers that sp...

While the success of The Avengers was certainly a firework under the rear ends of Warner Bros. and their plans to bring their DC Comics characters to the cinema, it hasn't been the smoothest process getting Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman and the rest teamed up for a Justice League film . But now, thanks to a legal victory over Krypton’s favourite son and some much-needed momentum, it appears Warners is ready to go head-to-head with Marvel, looking to get the League onto screens in 2015 , the same year as The Avengers 2 . Gangster Squad scriptwriter Will Beall has been plugging away since at least June and several possible directors, including Ben Affleck and the Wachowskis, have been thrown up in rumor stories. As regards the legal aspect, Warners scored a victory over the heirs of Superman's co-creator Joe Schuster yesterday, without which the studio would not have been able to make films, TV shows or comics featuring key elements of the characters mythos be...

Christophe Gans' 2006 adaptation of game studio Konami's Silent Hill was a rare thing: a video-game-to-feature-film crossover that actually worked. Naturally, hopes for its sequel, Silent Hill: Revelations 3D , centre around it pulling off the same trick. Make sure to check back next week on the site. We have a HUGE giveaway from the film coming up. Directed by Michael J. Bassett (Solomon Kane, Deathwatch), it brings back old hands from the first film ( Deborah Kara Unger, Sean Bean ) as well as introducing newcomers such as the lead, Adelaide Clemens , who plays Heather Mason, the protagonist from Silent Hill 3 who is used by the baddie of the piece, Claudia Wolf ( Carrie-Anne Moss ), in an attempt to bring about the rebirth of "God".

Shailene Woodley , who just booked the coveted role of Mary Jane in the Spider-Man sequel, is closing in on a deal to star in Divergent , Summit/Lionsgate’s adaptation of Veronica Roth’s YA novel. But the Mary Jane role is proving to be only a very small part in Amazing Spider-Man 2 but blossoms into an integral lead for the planned third movie as the studio seeks to build to the classic " Death of Gwen Stacy " story. Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher are producing, as is Pouya Shahbazian. Neil Burger is directing. The Divergent novel, published in May 2011 by Katherine Tegen Books, is set in a future society that is divided into factions based on human traits. Woodley will star as a 16-year old who leaves her group to join a rival faction and falls in love with a young man. Although she had been acting for years, Woodley caught the attention of most in Hollywood when she co-starred opposite George Clooney in Alexander Payne’s awards darling The Descendants. The rol...

The creators of The CW's Arrow have said time and time again that their number-one focus is to tell the story of Oliver Queen—but that doesn't mean they can't tell it with a big pile of DC cameos along the way. With the show a ratings hit, the producers seem to have loosened up about potentially seeing some Justice League members down the line. But how would Batman and Superman work in the world of Arrow ? Basically, they wouldn't be as "fantastical" as they've been portrayed in comics, cartoons and The CW's recent Smallville. Instead, producer Marc Guggenheim says they'd find a way to reimagine those characters and themes in this parallel universe: "You'll still hear about characters from those worlds and from those cities. We're imagining a DC universe without super-powered characters but that doesn't mean that in our parallel universe that there isn't a Metropolis or a Gotham City. There are references to places l...

WATERMAN ENTERTAINMENT CONTINUES TO BUILD STRONG LIBRARY WITH ‘ HEATHCLIFF ’ Mischievous Cat Latest to Join Family Friendly Slate Including “Mr. Ed” and “ The Brave Little Toaster”11 Family-based production outfit Waterman Entertainment has secured the feature rights to the iconic comic strip character HEATHCLIFF , it was announced today by the company’s Head of Development, Cooper Waterman.

The first film doesn't open til this Friday and they are already talking about developing a sequel to the film.  A deal is coming together will turn bestselling author James Patterson’s crime novel Double Cross into a 2nd movie starring Tyler Perry as the famous Washington DC crimefighter/psychologist. Perry’s first turn as Alex Cross opens this Friday from QED. Summit Entertainment is distributing in the U.S. It’s Perry’s first lead role that he didn’t produce or direct or write – and his reviews so far have been rather good. Certainly a lot better than I expected from the star of the crossdressing Madea movies. Although the critics have been harsh on helmer Rob Cohen and the film as a whole. QED International’s Bill Block put together Alex Cross at a cost of only $25M (lowered to $23M with Louisiana tax subsidies). He chased down the book rights from Patterson for under $1 million, then hired Marc Moss and Kerry Williamson to pen the screenplay with Patterson. After ...

Moviehole is reporting that Twilight may continue after Breaking Dawn . Chortle they did when Bloody Disgusting reported a few months back that Lionsgate/Summit would be rebooting the still-fresh “Twilight” saga, and making it happen as soon as this latest and last installment (“ The Twilight Saga : Breaking Dawn Part 2 ″) had been shipped to theaters. Silly, in fact, that they did laugh. But no doubt the cheeky coughs came from those who aren’t aware how Hollywood works these days – when it’s all about the brand, or in this case a cash-cow franchise, one doesn’t do like Sly Stallone at the start of “Cliffhanger” and let go, nope, they hang onto it with dear life. Why put down a perfectly good stable star horse when it’s still winning all the races for you? When I was informed an hour or so back that “They’re already onto the [Breaking Dawn] follow-up”, I wasn’t surprised, but naturally intrigued. Details are skim but apparently Bloody Disgusting’s earlier sources that some...

Moonrise Kingdom Blu-Ray Review By: MattInRC Make sure to follow MattInRC on twitter for all his reviews. Moonrise Kingdom is uniquely quirky, impressively captivating, and one of best the films of the year as it arrives for its Blu-ray release. To those outside of the indie movie clique, it might look as though the work of Wes Anderson represents no more than series of boring conversations about...well...nothing at all. Locked in a perpetual episode of Seinfeld, in which his characters essentially do nothing, Anderson's work is quintessential eye candy: extreme closeups and other unique camera angles mix with inventive storytelling that's deeply-layered and sometimes even bordering on self-parody. But it's his commitment to those quirky characters that also rules the days. His newest work, Moonrise Kingdom , is Anderson at his best, wrapping an intelligent script around a rich visual experience that plays very well on Blu-ray. The Movie - 5/5 The ...
