In addition to his work on this Christmas’ Charolette’s Web, Danny Elfman has been up to a few other projects lately…

By opting not to renew its global marketing alliance with McDonald’s as well as radically rethinking the types of food products that its characters will now be allowed to help promote, the Walt Disney Company is hoping that it will be able to avoid being sucked into the pending “Big Food” litigation. If you’re into [...]

Alec Baldwin finds out his stepdaughter works for an escort agency. After he sleeps with her. I was there. Unfortunately, the screenplay wasn’t. Jeff Goldblum = Good. Luke WIlson = The Usual. Movie = Bad. Learn more here.

Saw Hatchet at the Tribeca Film Festival last night. While its intentions of being an 80′s style slasher are good, the film fails on every level. A monumental waste of a premise that COULD have achieved what it set out to, if only not for how unfathomably sloppy the whole thing is thrown together. Shame [...]

As we approach the 29th anniversary of A New Hope, IESB.com has an interview with Rick McCallum from a recent appearance where he discusses the future of Star Wars. He hints at several future Star Wars projects… Check it out here.

(From StarWars.com) – Fans can look forward to a September filled with classic Star Wars nostalgia, led by the premiere of LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy video game and the long-awaited DVD release of the original theatrical incarnations of the classic Star Wars trilogy. UPDATE: Lego Star Wars 2: The Original Trilogy trailer:

This film is kind of a let down because it ends so abruptly that it seems like they simply cut off the last 20 minutes of the film. It has a beautiful look… great casting..menacing style and tone…shot by the cinematography of “Irreversible.” I am just upset because it so close to being great and [...]

It proves one thing: Just turn the camera on and you can be successful in today’s web video boom. Talent optional.

05:03:06: Cruise does New York as he kicks off the 2006 Summer Movie Season. Cybergosh and Burnt Leader were on the Red Carpet to catch all the action Wednesday night, bringing Cybergosh out of BergView retirement….

Holy cow… in 4 weeks, the sequel to Kingdom Hearts has sold 1 million units. Try to remember, that’s 1 million people paying $50 a pop. Amazing success story. Haven’t played it yet, because Chris won’t let me have my PS2 back, but some day, it will be glorious! In related news, started playing the [...]

The teaser for Casino Royale has just premiered, and I have to say, it looks awesome. Martin Campbell’s back in the saddle (his work on GoldenEye made that Bond premiere shine) and I didn’t realize that the story is a Bond origin story. Daniel Craig, yeah, he’s not as pretty as Brosnan, but he’s rugged [...]

(Reuters) – “Titanic” director James Cameron, warning that Hollywood is “in a fight for survival,” wants the movie industry to offer films in digital 3-D to counteract declining sales and rampant piracy.

The second trailer for Dead Man’s Chest shows off more Davey Jones and has Cybergosh Jonesin’ for July 7!!

Of all the films playing at this years Tribeca Film Festival, only one stood out. Only one called my name. All I needed was the title alone to know this was something worthy of getting me out of bed for the 11:15 am screening this past Saturday… Mee-Shee the Water Giant!

Jack Black is set to star in Michel Gondry’s eccentric comedy “Be Kind Rewind,” playing a junkyard worker whose brain is magnetized, destroying every tape in his friend’s video store and forcing the pair to remake the lost films.

Sally will drop nightshade into Dr. Finkelstein’s tea in 3-D come Halloween, when Walt Disney Pictures releases a digitally re-mastered version of “Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas.”

Today, the UGO hallowed halls will be graced by the power of Herman Li and Sam Totman of DRAGONFORCE. We’ll be conducting interviews, Guitar Hero battles and other video segments with them – I anxiously await their face-melting guitar solos. Get a taste of the action here:

For those, like me, not so enthused about X-Men: The Last Stand, this will either seal its fate or change your mind. It’s unfinished, I hope, but I’m very undecided about this film. So far, with Superman Returns getting bad reviews and this, this summer is looking shaky.

Mine should be arriving by Wednesday. When are you getting yours? Imagine if we all had one, with a different avatar? Amazing.
