First trailer of 'Funkytown'

29 December 2009 5:00 AM, PST | The Culture Post | See recent The Culture Post news »

A few days ago, the TV network V has released online the first trailer of Funkytown, a drama which was shot with a budget of Cdn$7.3 million and directed by Daniel Roby (La peau blanche).

First of all, Funkytown stars Patrick Huard, Paul Doucet, Raymond Bouchard, Sarah Mutch, Justin Chatwin, Geneviève Brouillette and François Létourneau.

The story takes place in the 1970s in Montreal (Quebec), which was the wealthiest city in Canada at the time. Obviously, during this time, North America was having a love affair with disco. Besides, the film is set around the Limelife Discotheque, which was the place in Montreal for those who wished to be noticed or to meet stars like Donna Summer for instance.

Finally, the film will be in theatres in Quebec on December 17, 2010.

Jaimie Alexander Tweets About Thor (Some More)

19 December 2009 6:55 AM, PST | Reelzchannel.com | See recent ReelzChannel news »

Actress Jaimie Alexander has been one of the most faithful insider "tweeters" when it comes to updating comic book movie fans about the latest comic-to-movie adaptation coming out of Marvel Studios. A month ago, she used her Twitter account to announce the start of her stunt training for director Kenneth Branagh's live-action production of Thor, based on the comic book character from Marvel Comics.

In recent Tweets, Alexander has commented on everything from how she "can't stop staring at" the arms of the movie's star, Chris Hemsworth, to the guilt she felt over "accidentally punching Fandral" (played by Stuart Townsend) in the stomach. In her latest Thor tweet, Alexander debunked a recent rumor about the actor said to be cast in the role of Balder the Brave, a mainstay of the Thor comic book series and one of the few remaining supporting characters yet to be cast.

The Morning Meme (Friday, December 18, 2009)

Info Meme

Bryan Singer, who directed the two good X-Men films, is coming back to direct X-Men: First Class, which is evidently an origin story about Professor Xavier’s first students. Obviously, all the original actors except Patrick Stewart are going to be way too old to play themselves in this, so I suppose we’re looking at an all-new cast of hot actors. Singer’s always had excellent taste in hot men. Beast, Cyclops, Iceman, and Angel are who need cast, according to Wikipedia. Ideas?

The cast of the U.S. version of Shameless is starting to take shape. We already knew William H. Macy was Frank, but now we find out Emily Rossum will pick up the Fiona role, Allison Janney (goddess) will play a role that sounds like Sheila, maybe, and Justin Chatwin will be Steve, originated by hunky James McAvoy. The cast is stellar, other than Chatwin, »

Dragonball: Evolution – Blu-Ray

30 August 2009 9:18 AM, PDT | The Scorecard Review | See recent Scorecard Review news »

Blu-Ray Review

Dragonball: Evolution

Directed by: James Wong

Cast: Justin Chatwin, Emmy Rossum, Jamie Chung and Chow Yun-Fat

Running Time: 1 hr 20 mins

Rating: PG

Plot: A young man (Chatwin) trained in super martial arts must stop an ancient evil force from ending the world.

Who’s It For? Tweenage boys and their complacent chaperones/parents. Fans of the series will likely be disappointed, especially those who watched “Dragonball Z” on TV like this guy.

Movie:

As far as adaptations that should never exist in the first place go, there have been worse. Like the best of the worst, Dragonball: Evolution was never really asked for by fans. In fact, the film is being rejected more than accepted by fans. And even more fans are too busy disregarding its entire existence to even reject it. But still, this is no super disaster like that Super Mario Bros. movie with Bob Hoskins »

SyFy "Spikes" Caprica – James Marsters Joins the Cast

19 August 2009 9:01 AM, PDT | TVovermind.com | See recent TVovermind.com news »

SyFy Channel has cast Buffy The Vampire Slayer alum James Masters (Spike) in a role that is sure to fit the actor like a glove.  Marsters role on Caprica will be as Barnabus Greele, a charismatic terrorist central to Caprica's over-arcing plot. Here are the details straight from SyFy.

New York, NY – August 19, 2009 – Fan favorite James Marsters has been cast in Syfy’s upcoming series Caprica as the dangerous terrorist leader Barnabus Greeley.  Driven by moralistic and yet carnal desires, this unpredictable villain is constantly torn by his conflicting motivations.

Humanity's storyline takes completely new twists with Caprica, which follows two rival families and their patriarchs – Daniel Graystone (Eric Stoltz) and Joseph Adama (Esai Morales) – as they compete and thrive in the vibrant realm of the 12 Colonies, a society recognizably close to our own.  This original, standalone series will feature the passion, intrigue, political backbiting, and family conflict in »

Blu-ray Review: Dragonball Evolution

30 July 2009 10:47 PM, PDT | BuzzFocus.com | See recent BuzzFocus.com news »

There are certain movies that only a die-hard fan can truly appreciate how utterly bad and painfully horrendous the movie really is. “Dragonball Evolution” is one of those movies. Admittedly, I’m a life-long Dragonball Z fanatic. I caught on to the original Japanese Anime back when you could only find them on bootleg in the comic book store. The series was awesome. Each movie was better than the one prior – with the occasional exception of movies like Bio-Broly of course. So, why ruin a good thing by transforming it into a live-action feature? Dragonball Evolution loosely follows the original Dragonball story arc, before Goku (Justin Chatwin) grew up, married Chi Chi and had a son named Gohan. The threat of King Piccolo has returned. Piccolo seeks to collect the seven scattered Dragonballs, which united can call forth the ancient dragon Shenron to grant one "perfect wish." When Goku’s »

Dragonball Evolution - DVD Review

25 July 2009 5:58 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »

The popular animated television show and manga is given the big screen treatment but it may be too late. The film feels very rushed and might.ve been better to have hit theaters in the heyday of Dragonball mania. Goku (Justin Chatwin) is a soon-to-be-eighteen-year-old kid who lives with his grandfather (Randall Duk Kim) who teaches him martial arts. His grandfather gives him a mystical object called a Dragonball before his eighteenth birthday. He.s supposed to be celebrating the big day with grandfather, but Chi-Chi (Jamie Chung) asks him to her party and since he.s enamored with her he skips grandpa.s party. It may have worked out for the best since the evil alien Piccolo (James Marsters) and »
