This editorial includes spoilers for Lars and the Real Girl, a movie that sucks ass. The story about Ryan Gosling is that he’s this intense young actor who doesn’t take part in the usual Hollywood bullshit. He’s for real, man, and he takes his work very seriously. He even grew a beard and got fat … Continue reading
My Sundance housemate Frosty from Collider sat down with screenwriter Christopher Hampton recently and got the scoop on a movie that could be Frank Darabont’s follow-up to Fahrenheit 451: Tokyo Rose. Darabont, a well-known writer in his own right, is working with Hampton because he’s looking to be able to make more movies. Thus spake … Continue reading
Even with news slower than Britney Spears’ head-dropped child, I managed to miss a little nugget of info that the handsome Garth Franklin at Dark Horizons grabbed last week. Thanks to the folks at Cinematical I’ve seen it today: Hitman director Xavier Gens apparently told Le Film Francais that he might be directing the new … Continue reading
Weeks and weeks ago I told you that Gavin Hood wanted Natalie Portman to appear in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. That obviously wasn’t going to happen – let’s be serious for a moment, her career isn’t in quite that much trouble yet* – but that bit of director-based fantasy casting gives you a clue what Hood … Continue reading
Don’t get too excited about this one yet because he’s got another seventeen movies to make first, but Guillermo del Toro has talked up a potential version of Frankenstein to MTV. In short, he’d still love to do it, he thinks he’s got a take on the material that’s both different and suited to a … Continue reading
The Lego version of Indy’s new nemesis not good enough for you? Then how about Cate Blanchett striking an authoritative pose in her Indy 4 costume, shot by justly famous photographer Annie Leibovitz? The new issue of Vanity Fair features a five-page article on the new flick and three new images, the most notable of … Continue reading
No, it’s not funny, but it is great. I love this image, which captures a certain simple and diabolical essence, at least of the original Funny Games, and hopefully of the remake as well. I’ve actually been wondering if this is even a fully legit image because it’s far more elegant than we’re used to … Continue reading

The Savages has been getting very nice notices at festivals, which is both expected since stars Philip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney are critical darlings and actors who are as reliable as it gets and also a surprise because so many stories about dysfunctional families and dealing with life’s inevitabilities tend to border on maudlin … Continue reading
Jeremy’s List – Devin’s List – Russ’s List – Nick’s List Note: If it counted, the Final Cut of Blade Runner (released theatrically in 2007) would be my #1. That’s cheating though isn’t it? 2007 was a splendid year for movies, a surprising turn of event due to the incredible amount of disappointing summer movies, … Continue reading
