JUSTICE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY SPOILERS
This is the first I heard of it, but apparently there’s 14 pages of the Justice League of America script floating around out there. Problem is, they’re fake. At least that’s what Patrick Sauriol, the guy who helped invent this ridiculous job I have, hears from his sources deep inside Annie Sprinkle. Or at least … Continue reading

HOPKINS CHINS UP AS HITCH
Alfred Hitchcock was a big ‘ol sumbitch, so he’s got personality enough for more than one film about him. Right?

Factor in a smattering of lame dialogue and a complete lack of Jerry Goldsmith-ian cues, and I’m not sure I care about this movie anymore. Compare the above (which … Continue reading
PADDY STALKS STILES
High-profile remake news always gets punters wondering why ‘they never remake bad movies’. But the remake of a bad or middling movie just isn’t worth the column inches, which is why Cry Of The Owl, featuring Paddy Considine as a guy who separates from his wife, moves to the suburbs and begins syping on Julia … Continue reading
IMHOTAP THAT ASS!
Ah, it’s nice to see Jet Li is enjoying his retirement from martial arts films. Technically, I guess The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor is more of a "Rob Cohen product" than a "martial arts film"; it’s surely less physically taxing than, say, Fist of Legend, Hero or Fearless. It’s just dispiriting to watch … Continue reading
I AM THEATRICAL
There will be a clearer, sharper theatrical trailer for I Am Legend posted shortly (and we’ll link that here, too), but for those of you who can’t wait to see the vampires/cannibals/bitey things in action… would you settle for a dog running on a treadmill??? We do get a few glimpses of the bloodsucking beasties … Continue reading
