Spoiler Talk: Piranha 3D

Posted: 21 Aug 2010 01:15 PM PDT

Piranha 3D

This weekend saw quite a bit of movies released, none of which seemed particularly interesting, but one did pique my interest: Piranha 3D, a reimagining of the 1978 Roger Corman feature Piranha. While the original film was an attempt to hitch a ride on the success of Jaws, this new film is instead riding the wave of the recent 3D phenomenon.

Typically, when I find out a movie is in 3D, it actually makes me NOT want to go see it, as today's 3D is more for high-definition picture quality, whereas I grew up in a time where 3D meant a harpoon was coming right at your face and that's the 3D I want. Piranha 3D promised me this 'gotcha' 3D.

As far as the film's subject matter, I must admit I've been intrigued by those South America fish with a penchant for flesh ever since thrash metal giants Exodus sang about piranha on their 1985 debut album. Of course, I was probably compelled by the song's reference to them as "Loki's children," trapped in the depths of Hell brought up to one day waste mankind. But I was introduced to these deadly creatures nevertheless and the fascination began.

It helped a lot that Piranha 3D, directed by Alexandre Aja (The Hill Have Eyes remake), boasts a cast of Richard Dreyfess, Elisabeth Shue, and Christopher Lloyd, right there enough to get to me go see the film.

If you've seen Piranha 3D, then it's time for some SPOILER TALK. Continue reading for my SPOILER-filled thoughts on the movie, and feel free to leave your thoughts in the Comments section [...]

Massive ‘X-Men: First Class’ Updates; Set In The ’60s, Who Will Kevin Bacon Play?

Posted: 21 Aug 2010 07:46 AM PDT



For a while, X-Men and X2 director Bryan Singer was set to return to the cinematic superhero world he had created for X-Men: First Class. Eventually, he was forced to step down from the project due to some previous engagements, leaving the door open for Stardust and Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn to step in.

Though Singer may have moved out of the director's chair he did still stay on-board as a producer, and today he decided to share a multitude of details on X-Men: First Class, including many lingering questions fans have had. Questions answered include who exactly the villain that we've known Kevin Bacon was playing is (and the group he's part of), when the movie will be set, and whether or not James McAvoy's Professor X will be bald and in his wheelchair or not.

These are just a few of the details revealed just days before the film enters production, and you can read all about them and more by continuing on your quest to the bottom. [...]
