Spy Next Door poster

If yesterday's trailer for Jackie Chan's family action comedy THE SPY NEXT DOOR didn't excite (or depress) you enough, here's the official poster for the flick. And if you're wondering how this one differs from THE PACIFIER, it's simple: this one has a housepig instead of a houseduck. And Billy Ray Cyrus. And more people getting whacked with frying pans. Plus Vin Diesel isn't Chinese. I don't think... Read More...

Spy Next Door trailer

Kung fu fans who grew up with Black Belt Theater and bootlegs of DRUNKEN MASTER 2 were probably hoping legendary martial actor Jackie Chan would give us another good POLICE STORY rather than his own version of THE PACIFIER. But here's the tiger-fisted icon tending to the kiddies in THE SPY NEXT DOOR. In the family comedy, Chan is a mild-mannered international operative babysitting his neighbor's children, only to find himself fending off villains using spy gadgets and household items after...

Jackie Chans Spy Next Door Trailer Online

A new Trailer for the latest Jackie Chan film has hit the net and I am without words. This looks so terrible. I liked this movie a lot more when they called it the Pacifier. I think I might not have minded this if it was Masi Oka in the role, but then I wouldn’t buy [...]

xXx3 Director

Vin Diesel is determined to keep rekindling the flame of his star-making days following the successful FAST AND FURIOUS, even if Rob Cohen still won't follow. Cohen, who left the project to direct MEDIEVAL, apparently gave his blessing to a new director, and it's not even Brett Ratner. Wonder if he was ever considered... Things will stay in house with Ericson Core taking over the project, after having worked with... Read More...

BYE BYE BIZNIZIRDIE

Sounds like another winner’s on the way from Pacifier-director Adam Shankman.  Specifically, he’s producing a remake of Bye Bye Birdie.  But it won’t be your grandma’s Bye Bye Birdie! (because they already made that in 1963 with Ann Margret). “Birdie” centers on Conrad Birdie, a popular singer whose character is based loosely on Elvis Presley. He’s [...]

Hairspray Director Lines Up 2 New Projects

Even though he has a horrific track record as the director of A Walk to Remember, The Pacifier and Cheaper By the Dozen 2, Adam Shankman earned a lifetime's worth of good will from me when he turned the bubbly, uproarious musical Hairspray into a worthy movie. So I'm excited about one half of the projects he's announced, a musical in which a pent-up man suddenly hears people's inner thoughts in song. As for the other, a story that didn't work ...

MR. CAT POOP

Den of Geek has put together an amazing list of movie titles that were re-titled for distribution in foreign markets.  I’m a little pissed they didn’t include The Pacifier, which was re-titled Gnome in the Phillipines.  Still waiting for an explanation on that one.  In any case, here is the Chinese portion of their list: [...]

Vin Diesel Returns To The World Of xXx

We'd heard previously that Vin Diesel was returning to his old franchises, most likely in an effort to wash movies like The Pacifier and this year's Babylon A.D.. We've already gotten our first look at the next Fast and the Furious flick, which features a return of Diesel. Now we're just looking forward to the return of the different kind of spy, xXx. Collider has the word on when we might expect the return of Vin Diesel as drafted ...
