In Loving Memory of Moviedrome

8 hours ago | t5m.com | See recent t5m.com news »

It will be no great shock to hear that living in London has both advantages and disadvantages. It is true that the cost of a 200 yd train journey may be the equivalent of a small flat in Hull, and rather like rats in New York it is said that you are never more than 100 metres away from a Premiership footballer or someone "in media", but the capital does have one thing in its favour: a vast range of unique cultural opportunities, among them some of the best independent cinemas in the country. It is true that many other cities, too, offer a wonderful alternative to the looming multiplex (Brighton, Oxford, Manchester, Bristol, to name just four that I have experienced myself) but merely by virtue of geographical and population size, London is unrivalled. At anything up to £15 they can be expensive, but for the chance to see a treasured classic on the big screen, »

Celebrity Biography: John Mayer

9 hours ago | PopStar | See recent PopStar news »

John Clayton Mayer, an American singer/songwriter/designer, was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut on October 16, 1977. He was one of three children born to Margaret and Richard Mayer. Margaret was a school teacher and Richard was a high school principal. Both parents are now retired, and they divorced in May of 2009. John grew up in nearby Fairfield with his older brother Carl and younger brother Ben. As a child, John recalls the aroma of home cooked meals, and listening to his dad play around on the piano. He had a brief encounter with the clarinet while in middle school, but it was the guitar that caught his attention, when he was thirteen years old. After watching the character Marty McFly from the film Back to the Future (1985) play Johnny B. Goode on his guitar, he became fascinated with the instrument. Upon telling his father about his new passion, Richard rented a guitar for his son. »

Exclusive Interview: Jon Harris

21 hours ago | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Though still only in his early forties Jon Harris has already had a long and impressive career in film.  Having worked as editor on such Brit classics as Layer Cake, Snatch and Starter for Ten and worldwide hits The Descent and Stardust, he is much in demand.  Indeed he most recently worked on the fervently anticipated Kick-Ass alongside Matthew Vaughn.  What would tempt such a man out of the editing suite?  The opportunity to direct The Descent: Part 2. Jon recently spoke to HeyUGuys to tell us more…

Hug: We’d like to start by congratulating you on your directorial debut Jon. The Descent: Part 2 had its World Premiere at Frightfest in Leicester Square and will be released in the UK on 4th December.  Your first feature film is a reality but does it seem real to you yet?

Jh: Thanks very much.  I’m not sure it does feel real at the moment. »

Lloyd Eyes Roger Rabbit Return

27 November 2009 8:16 AM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »

Christopher Lloyd is calling on filmmakers to push through a sequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit - because he'd love to reprise his villainous Judge Doom role.

The Back To The Future actor starred as the sadistic cartoon killer in the 1988 comedy classic, which mixed animation and live-action together for the big screen.

Recent rumours suggest director Robert Zemeckis has commissioned a script for a follow-up, and Lloyd has quickly expressed his interest in bringing his character back to life.

But the star is still waiting to be invited on board the project, he tells Digital Spy, "I haven't. I know Bob Zemeckis of course, we're sort of neighbours in California and I just saw him the other day.

"Some of the people that work for him, co-producers, have mentioned it but nobody's come to me to say, 'We're doing another one, we'd like you to be in it', yet. I would absolutely love to though, yes. No doubt about it." »

Christopher Lloyd goes 'Back To The Future'

26 November 2009 3:20 AM, PST | digitalspy | See recent digitalspy news »

Bank holidays in the UK wouldn't be complete without terrestrial TV showing one of the Back To The Future movies. While the next generation fall in love with Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) and his amazing hoverboard, old and new fans alike also eagerly tune in for the wonderful Doctor Emmett Brown. Digital Spy caught up with actor Christopher Lloyd ahead of the release of new Christmas movie Santa Buddies to chat about his experience on the time-travel movie, why the films are such an enduring success and if he'd ever bring back the Doc for one last journey. Was there ever any plans to make a fourth Back To The Future movie?

"I've never heard of one. There's certain talk that floats around about it, but I think when they finished number three they were done." Were you happy with how the story ended?

Planet 51

24 November 2009 7:25 AM, PST | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Planet 51

Directed by: Jorge Blanco, Javier Abad, Marcos Martinez

Cast: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Justin Long, Jessica Biel, Seann William Scott

Running Time: 1 hr 30 min

Rating: PG

Release Date: November 20, 2009

Plot: An American astronaut lands on an inhabited planet where the aliens resemble 1950’s Americans. Once he lands, he needs the help of Lem (Long) to hide from the alien army that wants to dissect his brain.

Who’S It For? Kids. Though there are a lot of jokes aimed at adults that will go right over most children’s heads.

Expectations: Not high, the premise seemed kind of like it hinges on one joke, based on the trailer.

Scorecard (0-10)

Actors:

Dwayne Johnson as Captain Charles T. Baker: The Rock continues his assault on children’s movies with this role as the handsome, charismatic, and slightly dim astronaut, Charles Baker. Johnson’s voice is a great fit for this vain, »

'Crysis' Mod Goes 'Back To The Future'

23 November 2009 8:24 AM, PST | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »

Despite requiring a nuclear submarine to run, "Crysis" has been very popular in the mod scene since its launch. The latest mod to impress adds the infamous "Back To the Future" DeLorean to the game, allowing you to crank it up to 88 miles per hour before blasting off into the past (or future).

Other games have added the DeLorean with similar success, but nothing quite matches the visual fidelity of the "Crysis" version, which is as close to the films as I think I could imagine. Take a look for yourself!

Check This Out: Back to the Future Crysis Video Game Mod

23 November 2009 4:00 AM, PST | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »

I'm not a huge video gamer, but I am a hardcore Back to the Future fanatic. So when I got sent this video of a mod to Electronic Arts' Crysis and Crysis Wars, I just knew I had to share it. The mod is extremely highly detailed, including sounds and visual effects, but it goes far beyond that -- it even allows players the functionality to time travel. Watch the entire video after the jump, especially the end. If you have the game, you can download the mod on crymod.com. »

Jason Lee Turns Director For Get Back

18 November 2009 11:56 PM, PST | EmpireOnline | See recent EmpireOnline news »

The cancellation of My Name is Earl doesn't seem to have slowed Jason Lee down. He's just finished filming Kevin Pollak's Columbus Circle, and his old mucker Kevin Smith's A Couple of Dicks (not to mention Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel). He's got a live-action skateboarding comedy series in the works for Adult Swim (the Cartoon Network's grown-up half). And he's set to make his directorial debut with Get Back.Get Back is a time travelling adventure about two music obsessives transported to the 1960s, where one of them gets into a love triangle with John Lennon and Yoko Ono. Matt Berenson, whose CV isn't the most impressive, it must be said (Daddy Day Care, Daddy Day Camp) is producing.It's not quite clear whether Lee will also star as one of the two timewarping musos, but we'd imagine that the probability is high.Lee's affable »

Planet 51 review (2/5) - Who do they think this is for?

18 November 2009 5:57 AM, PST | Movie Jungle | See recent Movie Jungle news »

Any good UFO story is going to involve a good conspiracy theory, where the characters and audience try to unearth questions about what’s “really going on here.” Sometimes we get answers, sometimes we don’t – and after seeing Planet 51 I’m left with questions myself. Mainly: who do they think this is for? I know who it is for: kids. It’s a cartoon after all, with a bunch of cute little aliens and likely a ton of promotional toys and other merchandise ready to hit the shelves. And it’s a relatively harmless little movie that may keep kids busy for an hour and a half. But will they like it? Will they get it? Planet 51 is set on a planet that very much resembles Earth in the 1950s. Lem (Justin Long) is an assistant curator at the planetarium, set in a town that resembles Mayberry »

It’S A Wonderful Life Blu-ray Review

17 November 2009 1:07 PM, PST | Collider.com | See recent Collider.com news »

It’s A Wonderful Life is a wonderful film.  Does that sound cliché? Well, too bad, because it has been voted the number one most inspiring film of all time by the American Film Institute (AFI).  Frank Capra’s film holds up to the hype, and that’s a very difficult thing to live up to after so many years and years of fanfare.  Broadcast every holiday season, this film is considered a “Christmas movie” though it’s not really about Christmas at all.  It was continually shown during the holiday season, as the rights had fallen into public domain, so TV stations ran it endlessly during the holidays without having to pay a royalty.  The aggressive broadcasts assaulted the public, happily creating several generations to take notice.  Though it may have always been regarded among only film buffs as a great film, television is responsible for it its rediscovery, »
