In a rare show of confidence/hubris, Miramax (and Paramount Vantage) kicked off last night’s Los Angeles press screening of the Coen Brothers’ No Country for Old Men with a brand new theatrical trailer for Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood.

I have been considering writing an editorial imploring Joss Whedon to go back to TV. It’s where he belongs, and I don’t mean that in a snarky or mean way; the serialized nature of a television series allows him to play with thematic ideas and evolve characters in ways that cannot happen in a two … Continue reading
There’s a quickie 45 second clip from Beowulf that has popped up on Yahoo! Movies. It’s completely out of context, but if I had to guess it’s Beowulf telling a tall tale about his past – the opening line is ‘We swam for five days, neck and neck.’ While swimming Beowulf and his opponent (it’s … Continue reading
