LEAK LETTERS #61
Please send letters. David Writes: Re Dr. Strange Review FYI Your sites content seems to be rapidly descending from, sarcastic, funny & hip to pointlessly bitter & resentful. What’s up with that? If feels like you seem to think that everything everyone puts out across most media seems so creatively boring and lame, that one … Continue reading
ICH BIN EIN WATCHMEN CHARACTER
Shooting on Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen has quietly gotten under way in Vancouver, and a Watchmen fan site, Watchmencomicmovie.com, has scored some pics from the production. The photos were taken at Nat Bailey Stadium last week, where Snyder was filming a scene where Dr. Manhattan meets John F Kennedy. Visible in the pictures is … Continue reading
REVIEW: EASTERN PROMISES (JEREMY’S TAKE)
The twisted team of David Cronenberg and Viggo Mortensen prove persuasive enough to distract from screenwriter Steven Knight’s parade of contrivance and convention in the Russian mob melodrama, Eastern Promises. Though far from Cronenberg’s best, the director is certainly more comfortable within the confines of the prestige picture than he was a decade ago with … Continue reading
HEY, IT WORKED FOR ALIEN VS. PREDATOR 2, RIGHT?
Despite Sylvester Stallone’s surprisingly successful Rocky Balboa, it’s still a little too early to say he’s on a comeback.

REPULSORS SET TO TRAILER
It’s late and I’m exhausted, so let’s make this quick: the Iron Man trailer is online a day early, and it can be seen in Quicktime. It’s more or less a re-edited version of the Comic Con footage… but that stuff was totally kick-ass, after all. Click here to watch the trailer (while it lasts).
DOES GUS VAN SANT GOT MILK?
It looks like Bryan Singer has not only lost the race to make a Harvey Milk biopic, he’s lost it HARD: Gus Van Sant has lined up Sean Penn to play the gay martyr and possibly Matt Damon to play his Twinkie engorged killer. Maybe. Van Sant is looking at starting production in San Francisco … Continue reading
