i don't like sequels when there's too much time between their productions. i say that once a year has passed after a movie is released that you have no right to make or even consider making a sequel. your window has passed.
Aww com'on... Starship Troopers 2 rulz! Steady Eddie Neumeier can do no wrong in my books. BTW, what are you doing watching Evening Star in the first place? Yikes!
PS. There's a straight to DVD Starship Troopers 3 on the way. It's called "Marauder" and Ed Neumeier is directing.

Really!? So you think about 95% of all sequels never should never even have been considered - much less produced? No Godfather, no T2, no Empire Strikes Back, no 28 Weeks Later, no Aliens? I mean the list goes on and on.

I'll be sharing these over the next several days before I depart,...

*Some Spoilers, Fair Warning*Perhaps a goofy co-incidence that Facebook filed with the SEC to launch its $5 Billion (with a B) initial public offering in the same week as this viral/web advertised film hit cinema screens. The dollar value for the filing is itself equal parts news-catcher, market-hubris and ultimately an underscore on where society, in the here and now,...

Ltd. announced that it will start applying film classifications to films in the hope of providing better guidance to its patrons and improving box office performance.

A new year of indie film has officially kicked off with the completion of Sundance 2012. Will it be the fest faves like Beasts of the Southern Wild or The Surrogate that make big waves over the next 12 months? Perhaps challenging critical darlings like Compliance and Room 237 will find a way to break through. Or will it...

Furthermore:
