Consider this Hollywood Reporter synopsis for the film Dean Spanley: Set in Edwardian England, where upper lips are always stiff and men from the Colonies are not entirely to be trusted, "Spanley" reveals just how deep an Englishman’s love for his dog can go. Would that be balls deep? I’m trying to imagine someone writing … Continue reading
When it was announced that John Hillcoat was directing the adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s post-apocalyptic novel The Road, I thought it would look a lot like The Proposition Part II. I was more correct than I could have imagined; while stalking the American Film Market here in Los Angeles, Ryan Rotten of Shock Til You … Continue reading
Heath Ledger is getting his future ducks in a row; just the other day it was reported that he, along with Sean Penn, was in talks for the next Terence Malick film (Tree of Life) and now word comes that he’s going to star in the next Terry Gilliam movie.

And now… the downside of work stoppages. Were it not for the stupid charity of Sony’s Amy Pascal, we might’ve been done with Nora Ephron as a director seven years ago.

No, Patrick Marber has not been commissioned to make another vicious mess of male/female relationships (though that’d be fine by me so long as he issues a written apology for Notes on a Scandal). Matter of fact, he has nothing to do with Duplicity, a Universal Pictures drama that will re-team the attractively antagonistic pair … Continue reading
Why is there so much bad wolf art out there? I mean, can you walk through a flea market these days without some asshole ex-biker in moccasins trying to sell you a hand-stiched rug of a wolf dry humping a Sasquatch? I may be insensitive, but my last trip to Helen Georgia [faux German Alpine … Continue reading
As this site’s lone Broken Lizard apologist [though are you an apologist if you’re right and they’re wrong?], I find it my duty to paint this news with a nice positive brush despite the fact that it seems to represent a departure for the group of lunatics behind the decent Puddle Cruiser, magnificent Super Troopers, … Continue reading
