Warehouses provide the backdrop for many a great film scene, and they are a popular location choice for many films. Often used in action films, warehouses make great settings for fights, explosions, dodgy deals, torture scenes and much more. They make a great location to film a scene because they are large open spaces and unlike other locations have less need for extras, such as a supermarket or shopping center. So many films have famous scenes in warehouses, but here are just a few.
Reservoir Dogs is set almost entirely in an abandoned warehouse. The warehouse starts off as the safe pre-organized meeting place of a group of colorfully named criminals after a heist. However, the group discover that one of their party is an undercover cop and the location becomes much more sinister as violence ensues.
In the new flick Kick-Ass starring Aaron Johnson as Dave Lizewski (Kick Ass) and Nicholas Cage as Big Daddy, a warehouse is the setting for an amazing triumph of the goodies v the baddies. In the famous warehouse scene Big Daddy takes on the bad guys and sets fire to the warehouse. [Read more…]

Most memorable movie remakes of the decade
From 2000 to 2009, Hollywood attempted to remake a number of its classic movies. While some did well at the box office, others simply missed their mark. Movie remakes of classic films have truly become a trend in itself. As the trend continues, the demand for retrospective remakes is at an all time high. In fact, the previous decade was blanketed by movie remakes from a number of genres and styles. This was simply Hollywood’s attempt to recapture nostalgia, while countering the domination of Internet based video and movie sharing sites.

Sequels are natural results of hit movies. By the law of supply and demand, a sequel is supplied when there is obvious demand for it as evidenced by box-office gross and continued interest.
