As a means of introduction, here’s an introduction: this is my new column. If you like it, I’ll keep doing it. If you don’t like it, I’ll probably keep doing it until I don’t like it. Thing is, I’m not sure if I like it right now, so maybe you’ll like it, but I’ll stop … Continue reading
Last spring, word went out about a Mike Myers project that would have the notorious ham playing an Indian self—help guru named Pitka who spouted all sorts of wackiness as advice. The character originated during the making of the second Austin Powers movie, and Myers has kept it on the backburner ever since, doing stage … Continue reading
There’s a lot of railing that goes against Dreamworks Animation. In most cases, with its reliance on the pop culture Shrek formula and star power instead of character and story, deservedly so.

The halls of the Internet, packed floor to ceiling like some barbaric bazaar, are humming with confirmations, speculations, and pissing contests regarding the Xbox 360 Elite. owever, that’s not at all interesting since that sort of stuff should have been flushed from your system last week.

Perez Hilton has scored the first photos of Johnny Depp in his Sweeney Todd costume (I guess all of those delayed production rumors last week were bull. I can’t believe the British tabloids let us down. Now the only things I can have faith in any more are the Executive Branch and Matthew McConaughey’s heterosexuality). … Continue reading
Dread Central is reporting that Paul WS Anderson, proud owner of the Anti-Life Equation As Applied to Movies, is leaving the long-gestating adaptation of Castlevania, a video game about killing Dracula with a whip. This comes as a big shock to me, because when I spoke to Jeremy Bolt, Paul’s producer and buddy, on the … Continue reading
Hot off his ’06-’07 Best Actor World Tour, Forest Whitaker has just booked what looks to be his fifth post-Last King of Scotland role in David Ayer’s The Night Watchman, in which the hardest-working-survivor-of-Battlefield Earth-in-show-business will star alongside Keanu Reeves. Though I was much more excited about this James Ellroy-scripted cop drama when Spike Lee … Continue reading
