"Forget about Don Cheadle replacing Terence Howard as James Rhodes / War Machine in Iron Man II, which smells a lot like the “we’ll threaten to replace Tobey Maguire with Jake Gyllenhaal” tactic that Sony used for Spider-Man II –– Hollywood has been doing this for years. It was bad enough back in the days of television with Dick Sargent replacing Dick York in Bewitched, but now it’s becoming pretty commonplace for producers to replace actors in iconic roles. Although now it’s more common due to monetary concerns, which seems to be what has taken Howard out of the War Machine suit, it’s also common to see an actor ankle a role because they don’t like the source material, or the direction the character is taking. We’ve put together several different re-castings, which all happened for a variety of reasons: money, dissatisfaction with the script, test audience reactions, and actors just growing tired of playing the same character. Check them out after the break. "

"In many ways it is superior to Silence of the Lambs, in my opinion! Unfortunately, it is very underrated and unseen! "

"What’s the date? May 18th. The summer blockbuster season must be upon us. As an avid moviegoer from the age of 5, I have almost a biohoroscopic feel in my well worn behind that tells me I should be sitting in a movie theater seat, shoving popcorn and cherry coke into my face. Each year, that rush of anticipation and ultimate disappointment rushes through me like the sun rays telling my body to start perspiring like a pig. But, having just been the least useful partner in the birth of a child, I know that those trips to the multiplex will be fleeting this season. Already weeks into this, and I’ve yet to see Spiderman 3 and Shrek 3 – although I hear I’m not missing much.In my contemplative state I turn to the one summer, where that pang of excitment that comes every May first started. I’m talking about the summer of 1986. If summer means anything, it means action, and 1986 delivered more action frame by frame than any other summer before or since. Taken ... "

"Manhunter is only the second film I've seen by Michael Mann, the first was his biopic Ali, which even his die-hard fans admit is not one of his best works. I think that based on what I've seen, I'm not going to be one of his fans (which isn't going to stop me from seeing his other films, of course). I guess if you have a thing for this kind of "tough guy" movie (if you like Mann, you probably like Scorsese and vice versa), you'll love it, if not, it's a passable thriller. Based on the novel Red Dragon by Thomas Harris, which would later be filmed again by Brett Rattner, Manhunter stars the relativley unkown William L. Peterson as Will Graham, a retired FBI profiler who is called back into the fold when a new serial killer called The Tooth Fairy (Tom Noonan) is on the loose. Graham is in demand because of his unique talent to get inside the heads of those he profiles, but that comes at a great personal cost- he can't shake the evil feelings he gets, and spent some time in a menta ...
