your personal road map to what's going on in Hollywood
Forget James Cameron. My allegiance is to the real Avatar. The following is everything you’ll need to know about the Avatar world and characters, my concerns about what might go wrong, and my hopes as to what should happen.
Read ArticleEveryday it seems like there’s another Spider-Man casting rumor, and it usually has something to do with whatever film is hot at the moment and whatever young twentysomething male is corresponding to said film. What helps the situation is if the male in question is relatively unknown and possibly only been in small Disney films [...]
Read ArticleI don’t know how many people caught the tease of a Big Announcement coming in my SXSW 2010 post but I wanted to give you a sneak peek into what is happening behind the scenes at Truth On Cinema headquarters. As you can see from the image above, the site will be getting a face [...]
Read ArticleOver the course of 2 years, Truth On Cinema has generally narrowed its focus to delivering news/reviews/trailers of big blockbuster films (Transformers, Harry Potter, The Dark Knight) and comic book film adaptations (Iron Man, Batman, Spider Man), and although that is my heart and what I love and what I will continue to deliver to [...]
Read ArticleSo I’ve had a few days (almost two and a half weeks… I’ve been busy!) to mull over all the hurtful things I said about Hurt Locker.

I know what you’re thinking… “‘Survivor News’?!? Is the band who wrote the incredible song Eye of the Tiger getting back together and going on tour?” As far as I know, they’re not… but they could be. This news, however, is related to the television program, Survivor, not the band.
There’s something so awesome about gritty crime dramas that take place in or around Boston. I think it was when I first saw The Departed that I fell in love with those genre of films. The accents, the city, the community aspect of the people of Boston, I love it all! As we begin talking about the 2010 Fall Movie Season, I think we may have found the next great crime drama.
Not since August of 2008 have I published anything about the so-called “Facebook Movie” and to you, my reader, I apologize. Whether it was being too busy or not thinking you would be interested in it, I regret that I have not prepared you enough for this cinematic treat. Let’s forgive and forget and move on to a really fantastically creepy trailer about the creation of Facebook.
The Green Lantern is a comic book franchise that has been running under the radar for a while and today we have our first official look of Ryan Reynolds as Hal Jordan, The Green Lantern.
I know I am severely late to the game with this film and although I will plead innocent on the basis that zombies weren’t cool to me last year, it pains me that I just now got around to seeing this fantastic film.
For those that are in the dark about what is going on and what has been going on, let me try and catch you up with all of the craziness involving Marvel, Edward Norton as “The Hulk”, The Avengers film, and how they all relate to each other.
Two types of television programs are canceled after only one or two seasons: the brilliant and the utterly stupid. Certainly among the former is the great work of the incomparable Aaron Sorkin. Of his three forays into the small screen, only one made it past its second season, the critically acclaimed The West Wing. It is his other two series, though, that you probably missed: Sports Night and Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. (Aside: Aaron Sorkin is also the writer of several films including one of my all-time favorites A Few Good Men.)
For the record, I wanted to write my review the night I saw the film. But I didn’t want a two page rant about how much I hated M. Night Shyamalan. I don’t know if a week was enough time to get all of my anger out, but I figure that only a handful of people will see the movie in the next couple of weeks, so this review is rapidly becoming irrelevant.
It’s been over a decade since Woody and Buzz first captivated the world, entertaining our imaginations and filling the wallets of whichever lucky toy company got the rights to produce Buzz Lightyear action figures. Now, after a wait so long there wasn’t even significant talk of a trilogy until the movie was actually announced, we can all treat ourselves to Toy Story 3. And when I say treat, I mean it. If Toy Story was an ice cream sundae, Toy Story 3 would be the cherry on top.
In what has been an absolutely tiring merry-go-round of would-be actors vying for the starring role in Columbia Pictures’ franchise reboot of Spider-Man, we FINALLY get word of who will be shooting the spidey web at baddies….with teen angst.
