I’ve been lagging on the whole Blu-ray vs. HD-DVD battle for some time now being that I gave up my early tech adopting ways some time ago. In fact, HDTV itself has been a big disappointment to me until recently when Direct TV just launched a new satellite that’ll carry a buttload of new channels … Continue reading
I have an affinity for political talk radio, both right and left, and while you have to put up with a lot of bloviating, you sometimes happen upon a remarkable story that doesn’t get a lot of attention elsewhere and makes it all worthwhile. A few months ago, an ex-Navy SEAL named Marcus Luttrell started … Continue reading
I’ve never been the biggest horror fan, but I’ve actually missed the genre on the bigscreen in recent years. Well, the meat and potatoes portion of it, anyway. I’m talking about regular people in a remote location beset upon by irrational killing machines with no real motivation. Keep your elaborate ghost stories, torture pics, and … Continue reading
If I was a betting man, I would lay my money down on a Justice League movie hitting theaters in 2009. IESB has heard from their sources that Warner Bros is looking to get the film underway by early next year; I can confirm that from my own sources: this is a hot property at … Continue reading
Every time I hear something new about Cloverfield or 1-18-08 or whatever, I am more and more drawn to the belief that the emperor has no clothes. We’re four or five months away and don’t have a title for the movie yet, which is interpreted by some online as ‘kewl.’ To me it’s ‘kweer.’ The … Continue reading

Kosinski is probably best known for the Gears of War commercial that uses Mad World on the … Continue reading

Ulrich Mühe, Martina Gedeck, Sebastian Koch While watching the 2007 Academy Awards, I figured that Pan’s Labyrinth was a lock for only one award – Best Foreign Film. I was crossing my fingers for all the others, but figured no one would beat Pan’s for … Continue reading
The Crop: Passengers The Production Company: Davis Entertainment? The Director: None The Writer: Jon Spaihts The Actors: Nada The Logline: "A guy wakes up on a space ship that’s on a 120-year mission 90 years early, and apparently is the only one on the ship.

3:10 To Yuma has it all. Leather. Guns. Shootouts. Bale. Crowe. Harvey Fierstein. I mean, seriously…this looks to be a nice night out at the movies. It’s directed by James Mangold, features two worthy leads (One and a half, if you’re of the same mind as Dev, it seems), and supposedly has a rather fearsome … Continue reading
