The video game invasion of Pixels is easily Game Over. Review by Matt Cummings It's official: Adam Sandler is The Worst Well-Known Actor Alive. With a resume of infamy that includes the gross ( I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry ), the totally inappropriate ( That's My Boy ), and the plain boring ( Grown Ups 2 ), the SNL alum seems far away from the heady days of Happy Gilmore . His newest travesty Pixels is much like the rest: filled with promise but utterly devoid of results. When video game masters Brenner (Sandler), Chewie (Kevin James), and the socially awkward Ludlow (Josh Gad) compete in a local competition, they are bested by the showboat Eddie (Peter Dinklage). Fast-forward 30 years and the foursome are reunited when an alien force invades Earth after receiving a space capsule filled with transmissions of various 80's games that they dominated so well. Together with Chewie now as President of the United States, they are joined by Lt. Colonel V

The classic gets wet and spawns a remake. By Brandon Wolfe Because it was a popular thing that happened in the 1980s, it’s now time to brush the dust off of Gremlins for its inevitable reboot. Warner Bros. has hired Goosebumps screenwriter Carl Ellsworth to pen a remake of the 1984 horror-comedy classic about creatures that react poorly to light, water and midnight snacks. Chris Columbus, who wrote the script for the original, will produce the remake along with original producer Steven Spielberg. Notably absent from the report is the participation of original director Joe Dante, whose manic inventiveness was key to the offbeat charms of the original and (especially) its 1990 sequel. Without Dante’s involvement, a Gremlins remake somehow manages to find yet another way to feel entirely pointless. Discuss this story with fellow SJF fans on Facebook .

Fans waiting for a sequel to " Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief " may not have to wait that much longer. LA Times is reporting that Fox 2000, the 20th Century Fox label behind the adventure franchise, is putting a follow-up project to the 2010 young-adult film in active development and could shoot it as early as this summer, according to a person who has been briefed on the project's status but was not authorized to speak publicly about it. The movie would be subtitled " The Sea of Monsters " and derive from the second book in Rick Riordan's five-book series. The studio has hired Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski -- who wrote "Ed Wood" and "Agent Cody Banks" -- to write a script for the new film, which they are currently doing. But the person cautioned that the project is still very much at the development phase; the movie, for instance, does not yet have a director. Chris Columbus , who helmed the first ins

Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief Movie Review By: Sandwichjohn The Lightning Thief is loosely based on the book of the same title. It is the first book of the series by Rick Riordan. If this film does well, which it looks like it will, then we can expect more of the series to appear in the theaters. The film is directed by Chris Columbus who also directed the first two Harry Potter films. This has led to many comparisons by critics to the Harry Potter films with Harry Potter coming out on top. I did not draw these same comparisons. While both movies deal with magic and magical creatures, they are based on two entirely different magic worlds. Percy Jackson (Logan Lerman) is a pretty normal kid with academic issues until he is attacked by a Fury disguised as a substitute teacher while on a field trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He is saved by one of his teachers, Mr. Brunner (Pierce Brosnan), and his best friend, Grover (Brandon T. Jackson). He soon disco

Gremlins Sequel To Be In 3D? Gremlins I have very good information from a top source that tells me another Gremlins movie is coming to the silver screens and it will be in stereoscopic 3D! It is in the early stages with still lots of hurdles to pass, but it is being developed. This is not a 3D conversion of the original to be clear. The original GREMLINS was directed by THE HOLE's Joe Dante, with executive producer Steven Spielberg and writer Chris Columbus. Leave A Comment- Source- marketsaw
