by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Feb. 06 2009, 02:35 PM

This week was chockful of so many movie announcements that the Weekly Ketchup could have been a top 20 instead of a top 10, but these jewels of the week include new movies for acclaimed directors Martin Scorsese and Terry Gilliam, sequels for Sex and the City and Bloodsport and a movie based on the Candy Land board game.

This week, after spending some time in Utah hitting the slopes and pretending to care about independent filmmaking, Hollywood got right back in the groove, doing what they do best: greenlighting prequels, sequels, remakes and reboots. Of this week's top 10 stories, only three movies don't fit into one of those categories.

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Dec. 19 2008, 05:13 PM

As if we need further reminders of how the world's current situation resembles the Great Depression, this week, four of of the ten top headlines have their origins in the era between 1900 and World War II, and the remake trend moves forward a bit to now focus on two superhero-ish movies from the mid 1990s.

Weekly Ketchup: Tom Cruise to return as Tropic Thunder's Les Grossman (36 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Dec. 12 2008, 06:03 PM

This week sees a surprising lack of the remakes we've gotten used to seeing in the Weekly Ketchup, with the shelving of one horror remake balancing out a movie that is only a remake in as much as it tackles a subject mostly only adapted in Japanese movies most of us haven't seen. Sequels, however, are quite alive and kicking, as always.

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Saturday, Nov. 22 2008, 10:20 AM

This week saw lots of high profile movies getting news attention, so in this Ketchup, you'll see lots of stories having to cover multiple movies, so I can cheat my way into only having ten stories; there was just a lot more going on this week than just ten things!

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Nov. 14 2008, 05:57 PM

Weekly Ketchup: Catherine Zeta-Jones sings in Cleo (18 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Oct. 24 2008, 04:44 PM

This week's Weekly Ketchup features new roles for Javier Bardem, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta-Jones in a diverse batch that hits most of the obligatory marks. Videogame? Check. Comic book superhero? Check. Remake? Check. Ashton Kutcher? Sigh...

Weekly Ketchup: Johnny Depp to play Tonto in The Lone Ranger (46 comments)

by Greg Dean Schmitz on Friday, Sep. 26 2008, 05:12 PM

The villain in this summer's The Incredible Hulk was the Abomination, and that sums up a lot of what is going on in this week's Ketchup. There's one great bit of casting news to start us off, but from there, and a couple of possibly interesting projects, but for the most part, get ready for lots of sequels and remakes.
