  • Joaquin Phoenix Mockumentary Complete
    So, Joaquin Phoenix has been a little…off lately. What with the hermit beard, the sunglasses 24/7, the quitting acting and the rapping. But, everyone hopes, it’s all in the name of good fun.

So, here’s Alexandre Aja (The Hills Have Eyes) taking the clunky glasses of 3D technology to a classic movie: Piranha. There’s a weird feeling...

  • Glimpse Of Thor, And Villain
    Here’s the first official look at Chris Hemsworth in costume as Marvel’s Thor: It’s way more rubber-suity than expected. I thought it would be fabric and metal, like something Weta would do, not like Batman. The design however, is very good. And it’ll probably be cool in motion. And we’ve yet to see the helmet. And Latino Review got their...

The new fashion is of course 3D, and 3D is accomodating to all genres. Torture, porn and crappy remakes are all welcome in the land of 3D. Anyway, Paramount Pictures is developing a third installment...
