Jesus, we’ve been awash in some great trailers this week. Add another to the pile. The new American Gangster international trailer is online, and it…is…fuckin’ epic. Between the ace intro use of Bobby Womack’s “Across 110th Street” (Um….Jackie Brown, anybody?) to the operatic music and pacing of the latter half, this baby bangs. CLICK HERE … Continue reading
We’ve read the reviews for No Country for Old Men. We’ve seen some footage. We knew the Coens were making a comeback this year. But did you think they were gonna be this vicious about it? This just released red band trailer for No Country for Old Men is a thing of relentless beauty. There’s … Continue reading
I’m confused. Variety‘s Michael Fleming writes in his article breaking the news of Betty Thomas as the new Dallas helmer that "this time they’re drilling for laughs". Pardon my ignorance, but weren’t they "drilling for laughs" when Robert Luketic was signed to direct? And was I napping or just not giving a shit when Bend … Continue reading

It didn’t happen to his Brokeback Mountain, and it didn’t happen to Paul Verhoeven’s Black Book, but now Lust, Caution, Ang Lee’s follow-up to his culturally significant homo opus has been tagged with the four characters that newspapers and Blockbuster love to use as excuse to pretend movies don’t exist: NC-17. It’s been a minute … Continue reading
We’ve been pretty tough on Rod Lurie lately. News of his Straw Dogs remake hasn’t done anything to endear the filmmaker to any of us here. The guy makes a comment about how he’s going to approach the film’s pivotal rape scene and he might as well be on the front page of US Weekly … Continue reading
What if Martin Scorsese wanted to shoot a Rolling Stones concert, but Mick Jagger balked at the idea of too many cameras whizzing about? What would Marty do? WHAT WOULD HE DO!?!?
