I’ve decided to compose a list of SOME of the movie remakes that either in production, or scheduled to go into production shortly below. Please keep in mind that I chose to completely omit any recent or past remakes such as Halloween or The Taking of Pelham 123. Some of these remakes may be considered [...]

It’s been revealed that I complain quite a lot about various things on this website, so I thought I would post something that’s actually pretty awesome. Philips has announced a 21:9 widescreen television – for those who watch only Cinemascope (2.35:1), and have created a great website that features an inspiring faux-bullet time movie to [...]

Upon first glance it seems harmless enough: mail away a coupon to the address provided and a balding, near-naked man who [...]

I was at home the other day, doing what most people do when they get a moment of free time – reading Archie comics, when I came across a couple of advertising jems I thought I’d share. You know how Archie is concerned about tooth decay and maintaining proper oral health, right? Oh yes, it’s [...]
