new movies

Thanks to social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook, actors and creative types are free to spill the beans on projects that normally would be announced via the trades and press releases. Jay Baruchel just hopped aboard that bandwagon with a series of recent tweets revealing his plans for 'Goon 2,' a sequel (obviously) to this past winter's disarmingly funny and sweet hockey comedy starring

Though the film has already begun shooting, it seems that the casting of 'Thor: The Dark World' wasn't finished, and the film has added two new players: Richard Brake and Clive Russell.

It's expected that box office numbers go up on Sunday afternoon. By that point, the estimates tend to be pretty accurate and if there is a difference come Monday morning, it's negligible. Not so today. Three new releases are nearly deadlocked as I write this and we won't know until sometime tomorrow who will actually be one top. We shall update accordingly.

This was a rough week at the box office, guys, If we had an decency whatsoever, we'd call it a day and simply not report just how poorly every movie did these past three days, but alas: the world must keep spinning. Summer is over, the Fall is upon us and we've entered the weakest part of the year for both new releases and box office grosses. Let's just get this over with, shall we?

Cowabunga, dude! The mega-popular ’80s franchise ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ is ready to make a big return to movie theaters in advance of their upcoming 30th anniversary. Paramount, Nickelodeon and producer Michael Bay are teaming up to bring back the “Heroes in a Half-Shell” with an all new reboot of the classic series.

‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ is a real movie.  And this is not, despite its ridiculous premise, something made on the cheap that will go direct-to-DVD. This is a big summer movie from Fox, produced by Tim Burton, directed by that guy who directed ‘Wanted’ and starring some familiar faces.  Based on the first trailer, it could either be awesome or completely stupid – so which is it?

Screen Gems ‘The Vow’ proved women do go to the movies, as the chick flick romance earned $41.7 million in its box office debut, making it the most popular movie in cineplexes this weekend. The Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds thriller ‘Safe House’ bowed in second place with $39.3 million, and ‘Journey ...

Three new movies — and one that’s not so new, but has been revamped in 3D — will be vying for your entertainment dollars in theaters this weekend.

This weekend’s new films include a timely tale of revenge against a greedy rich guy, and the latest in a movie franchise beloved by users of, shall we say, “recreational herbs.”

The comic book blockbuster ‘The Avengers’ doesn’t drop until May of 2012, but Entertainment Weekly just whet the appetite of fans of the superhero team with a gallery of photos featuring Chris Evans as Captain America, Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Mark Ruffalo as Bruce Banner, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye.

The trailer for ‘J. Edgar,’ Clint Eastwood’s upcoming biopic of FBI founder J. Edgar Hoover, has just been released.
