My Movie Diary (2000-2009)

I can’t remember why, I’ve slept since then, but, in January of 2000, I found myself sitting in front of a blank Word document. I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to do, and, now, 10 years later, I’m still working strong at it. I began keeping a sort of diary, listing the days and months and putting down the films I saw in the theater into it. I don’t remember why I only included movies I saw in the theater. I could have started just as an idea-giver on how many movies I actually saw each year (I also kept a running count each year). It began on January 7th, 2000, when I entered Bicentennial Man as my first film in this long and ever-growing endeavor.
In 2000, I saw 166 films in the theater. There were many a high (seeing Gladiator on May 5th and

Nic Cage Says 'Green Hornet' Exit Was 'A Disagreement About The Role, Not The Movie'

»
This past summer cinephiles, comic-book-geeks and Nic Cage fans alike were excited to hear the news that the Oscar winner was set to play a mobster in Seth Rogen’s movie version of “The Green Hornet.” It was an announcement that seemed to promise a return to the edgier, quirkier, over-the-top Cage that endeared himself to fans during the first decade of his career before movies like “The Family Man” and “National Treasure” came along. Oddly enough, that return to form would instead be marked by a different film — and Cage couldn’t be happier.
“It’s not more fun, but it’s kind of relieving,” Cage told MTV News of playing an over-the-top character in “Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans,” which has given the actor his best reviews in years and might just get some awards-season talk. “It’s relieving to get it out; you go through

Review: Old Dogs
25 November 2009 3:55 AM, PST
| WeAreMovieGeeks.com
| See recent WeAreMovieGeeks.com news
»
A turkey. Over stuffed. More sour than cranberry sauce. As flat as a thin layer of mashed potatoes. More painful than the post-turkey dinner walk to the couch. Take your pick of these Thanksgiving euphemisms that, each one of them, describes the new comedy Old Dogs, a film so void of successful humor, it could be eligible for Best Drama at next year’s Golden Globe awards if it were any good. It’s not. In fact, it’s downright infuriating to watch so much effort put into something so delusional of itself.
You can thank director Walt Becker, who didn’t do enough damage to John Travolta’s career when he put him in a biker gang with Tim Allen, William H. Macy, and Martin Lawrence, for much of Old Dogs’ failures. Becker’s come a ways since his days of dishing out R-rated fare like Van Wilder and the straight-to-video Buying The Cow.

Disney Won’t Not Celebrate Opposite Day

Ready to have some fun and a headache? If it actually was opposite day, this news story would read as follows:
Oren Aviv, who is not the studio production president at Disney, is terrible at coming up with fun story ideas for Disney to exploit. He didn't conceptualize National Treasure, a film I totally couldn't stand, and definitely did not see in theaters upwards of 4 times. The basic conceptual idea for Opposite Day -- a movie not about a day wherein someone has to do the opposite of their normal daily routine -- hasn't been popular in Hollywood's recent past, and definitely not in movies like Sliding Doors and The Family Man.
Disney will not employ Nancy Drew writer Tiffany Paulsen for the Opposite Day project. Paulsen is not also attached to a project that will not be a reboot of the Adventures in Babysitting franchise. That film will definitely not be called Further Adventures in Babysitting

[DVD Review] The Shooter Series, Volume One: Brett Ratner
17 September 2009 2:30 PM, PDT

»
Not long before Michael Bay poured acid down fanboy throats with his double whammy of escapist fertilizer, one name could be heard used with an equal amount of fervor: Brett Ratner. “The rat,” as he was affectionately dubbed by a cavalcade of enraged fanboys, had done a major disservice to the community in the form of X-Men: The Last Stand. Rumor of rushed rewrites and a hectic shooting schedule plagued the film and though Ratner’s entry opened with the biggest box-office take of the trilogy, The Last Stand was critically derided and universally cast out by most fanboys.
My own relationship with Ratner’s work skews on the side of shrewd criticism. I enjoyed Rush Hour 1 and 2, thought Red Dragon was effective if not particularly stellar and was one of the few people I know (aside from my Dad) who enjoyed Ratner’s oft-quoted critical and box office failure The Family Man.

Comic-Con 2009 - We speak to Don Cheadle for "Iron Man 2"

Don Cheadle takes over the role of Tony Stark’s best friend in “Iron Man 2,” a role previously held by his friend Terrence Howard in the first adaptation. We’ve seen footage of ‘Rhodey’ acquiring some heavy weaponry to add onto his own version of the “Iron Man” (“War Machine”) suit with guns blazing, and it looks absolutely fantastic.
Cheadle is certainly up to the task talentwise, the Kansas City-born actor has impressed with his dramatic performances in “Traffic,” “Crash” and “Hotel Rwanda” as well as roles in “Ocean’s 13” and “The Family Man.” An actor experienced in a wide array of genres who provided a lot of laughter to the roundtable.
Cheadle talks about the film and working with Robert Downey Jr. since Downey Jr. talked about the good rapport they both had while working on this project - “It’s great to be able to…especially in

Fear Itself Finally Headed to DVD

»
NBC's monumental failure Fear Itself is finally being released on DVD. It is a four-disc set that includes all 13 episodes, including five that were never aired, and four director’s cuts. Which is kind of lame. You think there would have been a few more episodes with footage too graphic for TV -- thus a few more "director's cuts" included in the box set. However, the good news is that it only costs around $30. Not bad for a new DVD TV Box Set.
The set will be available on September 15, 2009. Here are the episodes:
Stuart Gordon’s Eater
Breck Eisner’s The Sacrifice
Mary Harron’s Community
John Landis’ In Sickness and In Health
Brad Anderson’s Spooked
Ronny Yu’s The Family Man
Darren Lynn Bousman’s New Year’s Day
Larry Fessenden’s Skin and Bones

Remember "Fear Itself"? It was sort of like "Masters of Horror" but not really very entertaining. In any event the short-lived show will make its home video debut from Lionsgate in September and at the very least the box is amazing!

Lionsgate has announced that Fear Itself: The Complete First Season will finally be released on DVD on September 15th. I say finally because only 8 of the 13 episodes aired on NBC during the show's initial run. The boxed set will feature all 13 episodes (4 of which are "director's cuts") spread out through 4 discs. Each episode will sport a bonus featurette titled "Recipe Of Fear" with cast & crew interviews. Box art, as well as the complete press release is below:

NBC has announced that they are seeking $425,000 for a 30-second advertising spot on “ER”s April 2 series finale.
The medical drama, who is closing its doors after 15 seasons, is saying goodbye with a two-hour-long episode that features the show’s original stars, such as George Clooney, Noah Wyle, Julianna Margulies, Maura Tierney, Alex Kingston, Sherry Stringfield, Eriq La Salle, Anthony Edwards and other cast members.
La Salle also directed a recent episode of the show, entitled The Family Man, in addition to making an appearance as his former “ER” character, Dr. Peter Benton.
In previous seasons, “ER” asked $135,000 for an advertising spot and brings in a cumulative total of $2,878,000 per [...]
