I’m 34 years old and I had trouble getting out of bed this morning. Which is really pathetic when you realize that a man twice my age, Ridley Scott, has the energy to add yet another project to his slate, which seems to be constantly growing. Scott has told the Washington Post that he wants … Continue reading
UPDATE: Variety is reporting that Olga Kurylenko, the hot Ukranian chick from Hitman, has been cast as the female lead (i.e. love interest) in Bond 22. I don’t know how I feel about Daniel Craig getting Timothy Olyphant’s sloppy seconds, but I do know how I feel about Olga, and you’ll thank me right now … Continue reading
Ahhh, here are the games! Sorta. Finally we have some titles worth… well, at least worth a rent. Harvey Birdman is on the top of my list this week, if only because of how strong Phoenix Wright is. Plus, we’ve got at least one forgotten classic and one possible new one on the downloadable front. … Continue reading
Bully hit the PS2 at the wrong time. When everyone’s eyes were focused on the next generation of consoles, Rockstar’s game came and went in October 2006 without much of an impression. Not even screenshots of boys kissing boys could inspire their usual level of controversy, and while the game did well, a whole lot … Continue reading
Perhaps that official Indy 4 comic book cover was more revealing than I initially thought. For anyone who’s been following the copious online coverage of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, it should come as no surprise that the casting of Shia LaBeouf might serve a purpose other than pandering to a … Continue reading
In order to take a break from writing about movies I don’t actually want to see, I thought I’d share the scant new details about a little flick that could turn out to be a 2008 highlight. I’ve covered Mammoth briefly before, and the brevity has been due only to creator Lukas Moodysson’s reticent nature. … Continue reading
I saw Zodiac for the first time almost a year ago, at the beginning of February 2007. The film stuck with me, even as a cavalcade of bona fide masterpieces were released into theaters, and I always knew it would make my top ten list at the end of the year. But it wasn’t until … Continue reading
UPDATED! Writer Roberto Orci categorically denies the plot details that Aint It Cool ran. Skip to the end for his statement. It had to happen. The details of Star Trek XI are leaking out, no matter how secretive JJ Abrams is being while he films the movie. And something else that was inevitable: everything we … Continue reading
Real news about movies you (should) care about has been thin since before the holidays. So for some, the prospect of sitting through long, rather poorly produced ‘news reports’ in different languages to continue the Cloverfield monster tease might seem like a good way to kill part of an hour. More power to them; I’m … Continue reading
My head is spinning. I feel disoriented and confused. I’m alone here, and I’m frightened. I wish someone could just hold me. I don’t know how to cope with this: semi-official news on the Justice League movie. Barrie Osborne, producer on the film, has confirmed that such a movie is happening -which is sort of … Continue reading
