Andrew Wright did not love it : Bound and at least three-quarters of the original Matrix aside, the Wachowski brothers have shown a distressing tendency to take should-be-surefire geek concepts and boil the fun right out of them . The Wachowski-produced Ninja Assassin (directed by their V for Vendetta cohort James McTeigue) continues this trend, sadly. Read the whole thing HERE . [ Subscribe to the...

Here is a film that by most standards for quality is not a "good" film. This brings me to the classic defense for someone who is ashamed of a movie they like. You know the line, you have probably used it yourself on occasion. That line is: "It's not a good movie, but it is fun." To me, this has been revealed as more of a cinematic short hand to say that the movie has no hopes of...

When The Matrix was released in 1999, its revolutionary use of “bullet-time” photography made the franchise the target of a long list of imitators and satirists — a phenomenon that continues even now, 10 years later. But for Trevor Boyd and Steve Ilett, recreating a scene from the film was less an act of imitation [...]

Read part one of our interview over here. By his own admission, James McTeigue seems to be fast-becoming Hollywood's go-to guy for revenge stories. After beginning his career as an assistant director for the Wachowski brothers, he made his directorial debut with the graphic novel adaptation V for Vendetta , and is now set to release Ninja Assassin , about a martial arts master squaring off against...

Happy Thanksgiving to our friends in the U.S.! There are three major movies in wide release for this long weekend, including The Wachowski Brothers' Ninja Assassin , Wes Anderson's stop motion flick Fantastic Mr. Fox , and the Disney comedy Old Dogs starring John Travolta and Robin Williams.

We sat down recently with director James McTeigue to talk about his new film, “Ninja Assassin,” based on a screenplay by Matthew Sand and J.

All the news coming out of the Superman camp the past few months seem to have concerned one of two things: 1) the legal issues involving the heirs of the character's creators, Jerry Siegel and Joe Schuster; 2) and whether Warner Bros had any sense of the sort of direction in which they hoped to go with another film, assuming they could get another film off the ground (the official studio word was...

Ninja Assassin introduces the ancient Japanese martial art of ninjitsu into modern-day America with a violent new twist, and the stars and filmmakers talked with us about what sets the new movie apart from previous martial-arts epics. For one thing, it comes from the Matrix movies' Wachowski brothers, who produced it with Joel Silver. For another, it was co-written by Babylon 5 creator J. Michael...

If there's a single theme that runs through all of the movies that the Wachowski brothers are involved with, it's a constant inability to stage action scenes and drive a plot forward at the same time. Even as a fan of the first two Matrix films and yes, Speed Racer , it's impossible to ignore the fact that for some reason they just can't synthesize storytelling with set pieces. Thankfully, they seem...

Advance word on James McTeigue's Ninja Assassin hasn't been too hot, but perhaps this newly released red band trailer can change your mind. Not surprisingly, it's blood drenched and features more gore than in previous trailers---and we also see far more extensive use of CG this time around. We've previously reported on footage of Rain training for the film, but with this trailer it's hard to see any...
