Chris Evans aka Human Torch was the only good thing about the Fantastic Four movies and it seems like he’s also a nice guy.  A sick kid in UK is a big Human Torch fan and he made a drawing and wanted to give it to Chris Evans at the Captain America set.  Here’s the full story courtesy of Chris-EvansV.net:

“My little boy David loves watching the Fantastic Four films, he especially loves Chris Evans and spends a lot of time playing at being Johnny Storm. I have to play the baddie and he defeats me. He’s got his walls …

CGI film Despicable Me will be officially released on Dc. 14th. Yes, that`s something of a wait, but it sounds like it will be worth it. You can get it in several versions:  a DVD double-pack, 3-disc blu-ray/DVD combo/digital copy combo, or the 4-disc blu-ray in 3D/blu-ray/DVD/ digital copy pack.

All of the packages are loaded with special features, including director commentary, a section all about the voice talent {Steve Carell, Julie Andrews, Russell Brand, amomg others} and three “mini-movies” starring the unique potato-like Minion characters.  The packs with Blu-ray discs have even more goodies.  I`m intrigued by the Minion Dominion …

The saga of the creation of Facebook turns into a riveting thriller via director David Fincher. The Social Network contains a sharp screenplay by Aaron Sorkin with rapid-fire, smart dialogue, amazingly good acting, and stylish direction courtesy of David Fincher. Fincher tones down his MTV-style tricks of his Seven days while still adding gobs of style while Trent Reznor’s electronic score meshes perfectly to a post-modern film where revenge can be played out in cyberspace. I’m still not sold that facebook is such a great invention. I use facebook every day but sometimes wonder what our lives would be without it, …

It looks like a fun weekend for movie fans because there’s a movie for everybody: social commentary about Facebook, a remake vampire drama and a martial arts flick.  All three are getting positive reviews.  Let’s take a closer look at the movies opening this weekend.

Directed by David Fincher (Zodiac, Benjamin Button), The Social Network is about struggle and rise of Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg.  The movie is getting overwhelmingly positive reviews at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes.  East Bay Express commented “The Social Network is a bland title for such a thrilling, ballsy, intelligent movie.”  I’ll definitely watch this movie …

Yes, I mean the original 1976 version directed by Brian DePalma. I’ve never seen Carrie until now, I’ve only seen the famous poster of a bloodsoaked teenager on prom night. Based on the poster, I thought that Carrie is just another straight horror film. I was wrong, Carrie is entertaining in more ways than one. Sure, it’s creepy, but it also has a point, it has a message, and it delivers.

The premise is that a teenage girl raised by an overprotective mother came into realization that she wants to be normal. She is bullied in school, and eventually realizes that …

Halloween Horror Nights is back at Universal Studios and they’re going back to the classic horror icons for the mazes.  My favorite show, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Halloween Adventure, has a new twist and I actually enjoyed it more than last year’s.

Before we start with the review, here’s some advice so you can have a great experience at Universal Studios:

1)  Bring water and don’t forget to drink! I brought water to the park but I forgot to drink it because I was so focused on the mazes.  So after 2 hours, I was already dehydrated.  Make sure to drink …

Do you like the idea of Nazi Zombies in the snow? Then, you must check out Dead Snow. The storyline? Same as other horror flicks, a group of friends decide to camp in  middle of nowhere, they stay in a cabin surrounded by white snow, and Zombies.

This is a Norwegian flick, and the acting is pretty bad. But, bad acting is compensated by some funny moments and Nazi Zombies getting bashed by hammers, and chopped by saws. I like how there’s  nerd in the group who constantly talks about movies. This is just another Zombie movie, but it works because …
