Reel Movie Reviews: Never Back Down

reel-reviews-logo43.jpg Never Back Down is more than an inspirational saying. It's the title of a new, Mixed Martial Arts movie.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Let's see what a nationwide panel of film critics have to say about Never Back Down, which opens on March 14, 2008...

- The 1980s are alive but not very well in "Never Back Down," a "Karate Kid" clone with a young actor who is the spitting image of "Top Gun"-era Tom Cruise. -- Naperville Sun

- Never Back Down is a compulsory guilty pleasure. Think: Save the Last Dance meets Fight Club meets 8 Mile meets YouTube. -- Buzzine Magazine

Just for Kicks

- A modest surprise: better acted than needed, better made than expected. -- Village Voice

- The Karate Kid joins the Fight Club and kicks butt! -- NewsBlaze

Stranger Than Fiction Updates

In 2006, Will Ferrel was able to show off some of his more serious acting skills as the lead in Stranger Than Fiction.

While not as funny as Will Ferrel's crazy movies (check out some of the newly added Semi-Pro quotes!), we're big fans of the movie Stranger Than Fiction here at Reel Movie News so we decided to update the movie on our site.

We added quotes, pictures, a trailer, cast info, and the soundtrack to our site. Here's a sample of some of the new pictures we added.

Bryan Singer Readies Superman Returns Follow-Up

Bryan Singer is busy at work on the new script for the next Superman movie. It sounds as though the scribe will both write and direct the film.

"I'm just getting back with writers after the strike. We're just in the development phase. I'm starting to develop a sequel…with the intention of directing it," Singer said.

Regarding the negative reaction to the the focus on the drama instead of the action in Superman Returns, Singer said:

"The first one was a romantic film and a nostalgic film… And now that the characters are established, there's really an opportunity to up the threat levels."

Little Miss Sunshine Updated

Little Miss Sunshine became one of most well-known independent films after Fox Searchlight Pictures bought its distribution rights and made sure we all saw this wonderful movie.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Questions and Answers

As we get closer and closer to the May release date of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, questions about the film are buzzing.

And Entertainment Weekly is doing its best to answer a few of them. In a recent feature, the magazine responds to a few rumors, such as...

Are the Crystal Skulls alien artifacts?
Like the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Sankara Stones in Temple of Doom, the skulls (there's likely more than one, despite the singular in the title) are the supernatural MacGuffins â€" the powerful thingies that everybody's chasing. (Some think the Ark will turn up again too.)

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull Still Shot

From what little the filmmakers have spilled, the skulls sound otherworldly in origin, while fan speculation has it that those who covet them believe they grant psychic powers.
