Film Junk’s Top 10 Movies of 2010

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

Despite all the talk about 2010 somehow being a bad year for movies, I think we all had a pretty difficult time narrowing down our favourite movies of the year to just ten. Clearly there is a lot more good stuff out there than anyone seems to remember… hopefully this will serve as a reminder [...]

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Directed by: Jon Turteltaub Written by: Matt Lopez, Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard Starring: Nicolas Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina The Sorcerer’s Apprentice might be the least amazing film about magicians I’ve ever seen — but, walking hand in hand with my expectations, it’s also one of the most honest.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn To be two films?

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Summit would really like this to go on as long as possible, wouldn’t they? A feature in variety states that the company are looking into the possibility of turning Breaking Dawn, the final book in the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer, into two movies. Warners are, of course, doing the same thing with the Harry [...]

WOLVERINE: On that whole leak controversy

Sunday, April 5th, 2009

AICN’s decision to put out a story informing the world that the Wolverine movie has been leaked has caused some controversy this past week, and understandably so, but some people seem to be missing the point.

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

JOHNNY DEPP TO PLAY MAD HATTER- CONFIRMED!

Friday, September 26th, 2008

As we reported months ago, Johnny Depp will indeed be donning a rather mad hat in Tim Burton’s forthcoming adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Ho Hum. I can see it now, Helena Bonham Carter will be announced next, along with Danny Elfman and a quirky visual style that will just be ker-azy. And stuff. Oh [...]
