Well, here I am back in the saddle again. Fighting the battle for truth, justice and to keep you from spending hard earned money on movies that suck.

So my ever faithful movie companion Mom and I headed over to the Bangor Mall Cinemas to check out  Oz the Great and Powerful, a prequel of sorts to the 1939 classic The Wizard of Oz. James Franco pla

As 'Star Wars: Episode 7' speculation continues regarding the original 'Star Wars' cast's return, we take a time-out from that buzz to focus on another crucial character in the franchise's universe: Lando Calrissian. Will Han Solo's smooth operator of a friend also be appearing in the next trilogy?

Billy Dee Williams has spoken out about the possibility, and his comments just might surprise you! And yes, it's definitely more substantial than the last time Williams addressed the matter.

We’ve got plenty of reasons to look forward to the release of ‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’ – it’s loaded with big, badass stars (like Bruce Willis and Dwayne Johnson), tons of action, and plenty of explosions. But here’s the real reason we’re anticipating this action sequel so much – it stars the Adrianne Palicki as the sexiest Joe of them all, Lady Jaye.

The recent 'Amazing Spider-Man' and the upcoming 'Man of Steel' seem to get all the attention regarding studios' attempt to "reboot" franchises, but that's pretty much the same thing as what's going on with 'Oz the Great and Powerful.' If it succeeds at the box office, we may end up with a new version of 'The Wizard of Oz' at some point very soon, even though the producers have said that's not their goal.

Mila Kunis recently did a press tour to promote her new film Oz: The Great and Powerful when an interview with BBC Radio 1 took a bizarre but very funny turn.

A fanboy frenzy was set off late last week, when news of a possible 'Evil Dead 4' film came about, thanks to Sam Raimi's remark that he was planning on working on the script this summer with his brother, Ivan. Of course, everyone went nuts and immediately marked down a fourth 'Evil Dead' on their calendars. But now comes the part, predictably, where Raimi rains on our parade with a clarification.

However, all hope is not lost yet, fellow deadites.

'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes,' and the new approach to the 'PotA' films is decidedly different than the tact taken in the 1970's. There, each sequel was given a smaller and smaller budget and with fewer name talents. Not so with 'Dawn,' as it just added Gary Oldman to the cast.
