Iran Slams the Door on Foreign Films

Iran’s newly installed president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and a committee of hardline Islamic clerics have opted to ban all foreign films from the Middle Eastern country, in an effort to resist “cultural invasion” from the west. Contrary to his predecessor Mohammad Khatami, Ahmadinejad has no use for an open cultural policy and pinned films as […]

King Kong Keeps Growing

Peter Jackson’s a pretty gutsy guy, I’ll give him that much. Despite being accused of unsafe working environments on his sets, and ditching King Kong score composer Howard Shore over creative differences just weeks before premiere time, he’s determined to give movie-goers as much hairy ape as they can manage.
When he signed on to […]

Chronicles of Narnia: Second Trailer Released

After just watching the second official trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, it’s taken me a moment to calm down enough to type this out. Regardless of the squabblings over the religious nature of C.S. Lewis’ books, and the conservative gold stars sticking all over the cover […]

Welcome to Film Gecko!

As you may have noticed, we have a shiny brand new name here. Gone is the Movie Weblog, a temporary title that stuck around longer than expected when we all got so focused on bringing you movie news that we were too distracted to think of name changes.

Goodfellas The Best Ever

Total Film has a lot of guts, I’ll give them that much. It’s not an enviable job to put together a list of the Top 100 movies of all time. The public is bound to disagree with you, in some cases loathing your opinions, and the selection process is more than likely going […]

Dreamworks Up for Bidding

There’s been a lot of back and forth regarding the possible take over of Dreamworks SKG by several other Hollywood studios. Formed in 1994 by the powerhouse trifecta of Stephen Spielberg, Jeffery Katzenberg and David Geffen, Dreamworks SKG is in on-again, off-again relationships with both Paramount Pictures and Universal Studios regarding possible takeover bids.

Jeunet’s Life of Pi

Haha! Oh goodness it hurts me. In one of those strange, coincidental moments where everything seems to coalesce into a giant ball of subconscious hooplah, two of my posts on different blogs have merged.
It turns out, according to MovieWeb.com, that Jean-Pierre Jeunet, who has crafted such successful films as Amelie and A Very […]

Box-office Breakdown: Oct. 21-23

I consider it a very sad day when a movie like Doom can yell and shoot its way to the top of the box-office. Today is a very sad day indeed. Considering, however, the films that opened opposite Doom, and the hangers-on from the last few weeks, its not as shocking as it could have […]

Harry Potter Too Intense

Or so ruled the British Board of Film Classifications, following a similar move by their US compatriots. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire has been 12A in Britain and PG-13 here in North America, meaning that kiddies wanting to see Harry in action at the Tri Wizard Tournament are going to have […]
