This is Jeff Bayer, and I don't update this site very often. If you'd like to listen to my current movie podcast you can find it at MovieBS.com.
What does Joss Whedon do with his free time? Make a sing-a-long short with Neil Patrick Harris and Nathan Fillion of course.
The Deets compiled a list of the Top Celebrity Appearances on Sesame Street. And I admit, I'm jealous I didn't do this before him. I love Muppets.
Mathieu Ratthe loves Stephen King's The Talisman. Steven Spielberg has held the rights to the novel for 25 years.
1 - Hellboy II: The Golden Army - $34,539,1152 - Hancock - $32,080,560 3 - Journey to the Center of the Earth - $21,018,141 4 - Wall-E - $18,793,588 5 - Wanted - $11,996,175
Hellboy is it's own world. That is a compliment and also the problem. Director Guillermo del Toro has envisioned a fantastic looking world, but it's just a vision.
If you can turn off your mind, and I know that is pretty easy for most of us, then you'll get a kick out of this 3D journey.
This ensemble piece works if you know Los Angeles. After all, it's very possible for a homeless kid, pot-smoking Realtor, young model and a number of perverts to cross paths in that town.
This Garden Party is all about marijuana, young sex, music and most importantly, Los Angeles. Writer/director Jason Freeland has crafted an intertwining tale of young people in L.A. looking to break through, escape, or just get laid.
I sat down for an interview with Freeland at the Hotel Monaco in Portland and spoke about the scene (Los Angeles and Hollywood) …
How did you get your start? I had made short films. We actually did a short film with James Gandolfini, he was going to be the star of Brown’s Requiem (Freeland's 1998 debut), but then the money fell out. I consider myself more of a director. If I wasn't pursuing directing, I don't know if I would pursue movie making. That's my passion. It's the ultimate challenge, putting everything together.
Finally. Quentin Tarantino's long-awaited war film is set to begin filming in October.
Chicago Tribune's RedEye clearly saw my poll for "Who's the last one standing in a fight?" and decided to one-up me...
1. Hancock - $66.0 million2. Wall-E - $33.4 million 3. Wanted - $20.6 million 4. Get Smart - $11.1 million 5. Kung Fu Panda - $7.5 million
We are a generation of list-makers. It's an obsession even Calvin Klein would have a difficult time masking the pungency of. The truth is we all believe our lists have more credibility than others. While there is no objective way to match the weight of our opinions versus those of others with more literary prominence, one thing is for certain: After the July 18 premiere of The Dark Knight, Heath Ledger will have inevitably (based on early critical acclaim) cemented his perch atop the list of the greatest cinematic super villains of all time. Despite this imminent reality, it would be fair to first tip our cap to those who line up right behind the late Australian actor. Though many A-listers have had their respectable catalogues all but erase any obvious
I wanted more unearthed footage. But if you are looking for a tribute to the man, you won't find anything better.
Will Smith, Fourth of July, superhero ... it all seems to add up to a great combination. But they only made half a film.
In what might be the greatest comedy of all-time (am I jumping ahead of myself?), Will Ferrell shall be the sidekick for Sasha Baron Cohen takes the lead as Sherlock Holmes. Ferrell will be his Watson in a comedy about the master detective. Etan Cohen (Tropic Thunder) is writing the screenplay and Judd Apatow will produce.
This is the second Sherlock film that is underway with Guy Ritchie attempting a more serious film.

"Wall*E" has got me thinking. Animated films are beyond kid flicks, with the ability to conjure emotions, have us reexamine our lives and weep for a drawing. All of these movies have the pedigree to enter the best of the best. And sure, Pixar's films could make up the whole list. There won't be any hybrids either, which means no "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" or "Space Jam." So, with that in mind, here are my Top 7 animated films of all-time ... until I see "Wall*E" on DVD, at which point I will then feel very comfortable adding it to the list.
7. Iron Giant (1999) Not many people saw this gigantic robot on the big-screen. A young boy befriends a giant, alien robot. The government is out to destroy
1. Wall-E - $62.5 million 2. Wanted - $51.1 million 3. Get Smart - $20.0 million 4. Kung Fu Panda - $11.7 million 5. The Incredible Hulk - $9.2 million
