Apollo 18, what a truly awful movie.

I haven't seen Apollo 18, but I can imagine what they were thinking:

Exec 1: "Hey, They just did Moon with one actor, and that was pretty good, but lets do it again our way, but this time - with two people."
Exec 2: "Okay great, what kind of film will it be?"
Exec 1: "Ohh I don't know, how bout a horror movie? We can call it Blair Witch Moon."
Exec 2: "Excellent."

Yeah, about right. Also, as much as I've liked several found footage films, I think it's time for a moratorium.

So, do you think if John Lithgow just would've let Kevin Bacon dance, Kevin wouldn't have created Magneto as we know him?

Saw Haywire over the weekend. Lots of big stars in it and it mostly is Gina Carrano kicking ass which isn't bad...

The new Star Trek movie continues filming in L.A. this week, their locations will include the Budweiser Brewery, Sony Studios, Dodger Stadium, Long Beach City Hall, MCAS Tustin and the Vasquez Rocks. (per @goforlocation)

wtf, mate?

Probably for some celebratory arena. The last world series in star trek lore was over a century before this movie takes place.

Wow, they actually had a date for the final world series? Mark me... impressed?

Actually according to the Dodgers page, it looks like they used the parking lot at the stadium to set up the ice planet in the last movie, so it will probably be just a specially constructed outdoor set.

Man on a Ledge wasn't bad for some mindless fun. You have to suspend reason a lot but it has quite a bit of action.

I think it's clear that Holliday's drop was the flap of the butterfly's wings that caused the destruction of the Klingons, and unless Kirk, Spock, future Spock and Madea pull that ball off his nuts and into his glove, it will be disastrous.
