Get ready to rumble, the God of Thunder has been chosen. Nikki Finke broke the news earlier today that actor Chris Hemsworth will be playing Thor in the upcoming movie adaptation of the Marvel Comics title. Presumably, Hemsworth will also be signed on to be a part of The Avengers when Marvel combines its greatest heroes into one team. If the five minutes we’ve gotten to see of Hemsworth recently... 

Taken from the same titled novel by Cormac McCarthy, the movie The Road starring Viggo Mortensen looks promising. As the story goes, it is a post-apocalyptic world where a father and son try to travel away from the impending winter of the north to a southern coast. Already a story of survival, he and his son aim to stay alive while traveling the road, never knowing where bands of now savage people... 

If Pixar’s newest release, Up, had nothing else going for it, you’d have to admit the movie is absolutely gorgeous. Fortunately, we know Pixar refuses to put something together that gets by on looks alone, so the movie is bound to be entertaining and full of delightful characters, as well as being absolutely gorgeous. Pixar has released another clip from the movie, titled “Tepui Landing,” and... 

I have absolutely no trouble believing Monica Bellucci as any kind of magician. The actress has entranced me just about every time I’ve seen her on screen, so there has to be some sort of magic at work there. Now the actress has signed on to play a sorceress in The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, where she will take on the part of Nicolas Cage’s long-lost love, Veronica, reports Empire Online. I love... 

Well, this is interesting. When J.J. Abrams said he was always more of a Star Wars fan, it appears he meant it. Somewhere in his Star Trek adaptation is a hidden R2-D2 – an easter egg I missed completely (in my defense, I was busy looking for the Tribble, which I also didn’t see). Now the studio behind the movie is challenging you to find Abrams’ R2-D2 cameo, with a prize from the movie up...

”If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again.” Those words definitely define Terry Gilliam’s approach to projects he feels passionate about. Despite an epic failure the last time Gilliam attempted to tell his story, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote, the director is trying again, teaming up with producer Jeremy Thomas to bring his dream to reality. If you’re not already aware of what happened... 

I’ve said for a while now that I’ve always been more of a G.I. Joe fan then I was a Transformers fan; the Joes just appealed to me more as a kid. Unfortunately, it looks like the giant transforming robots may be getting the upper hand when it comes to movie adaptations, so what’s a fan of G.I. Joe to do? Relive the olden days, with G.I. Joe on DVD. Shout! Factory is releasing Season 1.1 of the... 

I still hold Chicago largely responsible for the resurgence of movie musicals in recent years. Unfortunately, the movie didn’t win me over enough to catch it in theaters (I regretted that the second I watched it on DVD) and most of the subsequent sing-alongs haven’t been all that fantastic, or at least not aimed at my demographic. Now Rob Marshall, the director behind Chicago, is bringing another... 

I’ve been a fan of Sam Raimi since his Evil Dead flicks. The fact that he was given the opportunity to go mainstream with movies like the Spider-Man pictures was great, but you always got a sense of Raimi’s own style at work there, particularly in Spider-Man 2, with the doctors attempting to remove Dr. Octopus’s mechanical arms. I’ve always wondered if he’d return to his horror roots, and...
