Some casting worth reading. Variety is reporting that British actor Matthew Goode, seen in Match Point, The Lookout, A Single Man, Watchmen as Ozymandias, is now in talks to star in Stoker, the first English-language film from South Korean filmmaker Chan-wook Park (Mr. Vengeance, Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, Thirst).

Minuit � Paris

Imagine, if you will, being able to slip in and out of two time periods as easily as Charlie Sheen flits from vag to vag. This is the very unexpected gift bestowed upon Gil Pender (Owen Wilson), the protagonist in Woody Allen’s umpteenth feel good comedy, Midnight in Paris. Time travel is nothing new in [...]

Blu-ray Review: ?Teen Wolf? Doesn?t Age Well

I came to a startling conclusion will watching the 1985 cult classic Teen Wolf on Blu-ray this week. Not that Scott Howard’s friend in the movie is actually named “Boof,” and not “Booth” as I originally thought for over 25 years, but that Teen Wolf stinks. While fans can argue the film’s impact on pop [...]

RYAN: To no one's surprise, The Hangover Part II tops the Box.

CAROLINE: That's the understatement of the year. But holy Hell! I can't believe how sad that is.

RYAN: Well it's nice for Warner Bros. and the movie biz but I certainly hope it won't inspire a third installment, and by third, I mean the exact same movie again but in a different city.

CAROLINE: Well it does make Bradley Cooper a bigger star. Though it's really an ensemble piece.

RYAN: Right, Zach Galifianakis has to get some cred. And maybe that lil monkey will get his own spin-off.

CAROLINE: [laughs] Nothing would surprise me.

RYAN: Kung Fu Panda 2 did alright and beat out Pirates 4 but I'm sure it's not as big as the studio had hoped for.

CAROLINE: Animated movies seem to stick around though and grow over the weeks so it'll be fine. And Pirates has done really well... especially worldwide.

RYAN: Yeah it's already made, like, half a billion dollars worldwide... something like $470 million. So Disney's doing their happy dance.

CAROLINE: Thor is still up in there too. It's gonna be an intense summer with all the blockbusters lined up.

RYAN: And we get the X-Men prequel this weekend.
