Shows you what I know which ain’t much. I could have sworn that this current 3D craze wasn’t going to last just as it didn’t during the early 1950′s. Back then Hollywood was convinced that 3D was going to save Hollywood. They still do today, just even MORE so. So that’s why Warner Bros has [...]

The movie is behind most of us by now, some more disappointed than others, but that hasn’t stopped the viral campaign. We suppose it could be as a lead-up-to the film’s home video release.

It should be absolutely no secret to anyone reading SA that we love the BBC detective series Luther, which stars Idris Elba. It’s the kind of series that we wish existed, and was grown right here, Stateside, on American TV (although Luther does air on BBC America, and BET did recently air a marathon of [...]

I didn’t care much for either film, but if you had to see one new movie opening this weekend, I’d recommend Seeking A Friend For The End Of The World over Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The former features Derek Luke in a supporting role; the latter has Anthony Mackie, also in a supporting role.  Neither [...]

I already said previously that I think the marketing for this flick has been a tad too much. You’d think the film was opening this weekend; nope – we still have almost a month to go, which means, another 3+ weeks of more photos, behind-the-scenes featurettes, clips, 7th, 8th, and 9th trailers, poster art, etc. [...]
