Disney and WB Battle Over Flying Monkeys for New ‘Oz’ Movie
Disney’s upcoming movie, ‘Oz, the Great and Powerful’, boasts an A-list cast — Oscar nominees James Franco, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams plus Mila Kunis — and a storyline that will take audiences to the origin of the Wizard himself. But Warner Bros., who holds the rights to ‘The Wizard of Oz’ film, would like to put a stop to that film.

‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ Trailer Makes Honest Abe an Action Hero
‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ is a real movie. And this is not, despite its ridiculous premise, something made on the cheap that will go direct-to-DVD. This is a big summer movie from Fox, produced by Tim Burton, directed by that guy who directed ‘Wanted’ and starring some familiar faces. Based on the first trailer, it could either be awesome or completely stupid – so which is it?

Go ‘Back to the Future’ With Official Marty McFly Hoverboard
Twenty-three years ago, as ‘Back to the Future, Part II’ first hit theaters, kids everywhere got their first look at a toy from the future. It was the Mattel Hoverboard, the skateboard without wheels that uses futuristic technology to float inches above the ground. Rumors swirled in the ’80s and ’90s that the Hoverboard was real (rumors fueled by director Robert Zemeckis) but, alas, much to the d

Daniel Radcliffe Disses ‘Hugo,’ Says ‘Harry Potter’ Should’ve Scored Oscar Nod
Oh no you di’int, Daniel Radcliffe.
The former Harry Potter star, who’s out promoting his latest film, ‘The Woman in Black’, told Radio Times he was disappointed (“miffed” as the Brits would say) that the final film in the franchise – ‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2′ – wasn’t nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Especially “miffed” when you consider another certain Best

Perfectly Nice Set of Dr. Spock Tattoos Ruined by Woman’s Breasts
Remember that ‘Star Trek: The Original Series’ episode when the crew of the USS Enterprise is swapped into an evil parallel universe after an unexpected ion storm causes a malfunction? Yeah, neither do we. That’s a little too geeky, even for us. Apparently, th

Finally! The Osama bin Laden as a Zombie Movie The World Has Been Waiting For
After WWII it took filmmakers almost 20 years to find a schlocky way to exploit the death of Adolf Hitler (see: 1969′s ‘They Saved Hitler’s Brain‘). Osama bin Laden hasn’t been dead a full year yet but his terrorist-plotation film is already upon us. Enter “Osombie.”
