VIGGO AND HOFFMAN FIGHT FLESHEATERS? WHAT?
When he brought Frontiere(s) to the Toronto Fest, Hitman director Xavier Gens talked briefly about his next film, which would see a pair of men shipwrecked on an island of cannibals. Not a stretch for him at all, so no big surprise there. But Bloody Disgusting is reporting now that Philip Seymour Hoffman and Viggo … Continue reading

SEMI-PRO IS NO SEMI-TOUGH
"Suck my cock! I’ll murder your family!" God bless New Line for the red-band trailer tear they’ve been on of late. Even though most of the movies they’ve been advertising don’t look all that hot (e.g. Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay), at least they’re treating us like adults and giving us the R-rated … Continue reading
THE SPECIAL EDITION: COMING SOON
THE ASSASSINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD I wrote last month that the DVD release of The Assassination of Jesse James was getting the same shitty treatment it got with its theatrical release. With all the positive reviews and recommendations it received crap in the way of support by Warner Brothers. When … Continue reading
HARRY POTTER GOES TO MOGADISHU
That Daniel Radcliffe’s in such a hurry to grow up. First, there was his full-frontal showing in a London revival of Peter Shaffer’s Equus, and… well, until he commits a live sex act or eats one of those six-pound steaks in one sitting, I think he’s effectively shattered his boy wizard image for the time … Continue reading
JOHN LASSETER’S GROOMING A DISNEY DOG
UPDATE: Apologies for posting old news, but, like I said, I haven’t been keeping up on the development of American Dog, which has been rechristened Bolt. AICN ran some info on this project last week, and they posted a picture comparison between the Sanders version and the Lasseter-approved Chris Williams redo. They’re pretty drastic, and … Continue reading

JEREMY SMITH’S WORST 10 OF 2007
This is the part of the job I just hate… There are two schools of thought re: the compiling of a year’s "worst" movies: either you lambaste the ten most unspeakable atrocities, or you pick over the most profound disappointments. Generally, I’m sticking with the former (if only because it requires less thought), but before … Continue reading
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: BILL BRYAN
Bill Bryan’s Keep It Real is one of the funniest and best books of the year. It is utterly vicious in it’s humor and smart as hell in it’s satire of L.A. life, Hollywood, and the Reality Television industry. Not a page goes by where there’s not something incredibly offensive, and if you have a working … Continue reading
