If you’re going to do a horror film, you couldn’t do much better than basing it in the dank and foggy streets of 18th century London. Or John Travolta’s aging underpants. Thankfully, director Larry Fessenden chose the former with his upcoming horror, I Sell the Dead. Still, if there’s one thing stock about any dark … Continue reading
Of all of the guys to play James Bond, Pierce Brosnan is the one who seems to have taken his post-Bond career the most seriously. He’s been happily tweaking the suave Bond image in films like The Matador (which he also produced), and now he’ll be doing even more damage as one of the stars … Continue reading
All those 20-something women with The Notebook listed as their favorite movie on MySpace may soon have a new top tearjerker. Rachel McAdams has signed on to The Return alongside Tim Robbins and Michael Pena, working under Illusionist director Neil Burger. Burger’s script, with Dirk Wittenborn, is nicely topical: three soldiers returning from the war … Continue reading
You suck for not having bought Viva Piñata. Fortunately, Rare is undeterred by your scorn, and has announced that it will produce more games in the franchise. I say "fortunately," because that draws attention back to last year’s release of the original. As of yet, Rare has offered no indication of what these additional game(s) … Continue reading
Matthew McConaughey is one of those guys who I like to see in films, but I just don’t want to see him act. Any time he tries any other take on a character other than being a charming Southern hippie-ish dude who loves ladies and a good drink, it seems to fail miserably. When he’s … Continue reading
M Night Shyamalan isn’t letting Lady in the Water take him down (“I’ve got shit to say!”) – he’s back in the game, and for the first time ever, he’s making an R-rated movie. The film is called The Happening, and it might be familiar to you, since he was selling the thing in Hollywood … Continue reading
Ever since the arrival of crack cocaine in urban communities, there has been a strong metaphorical link between cooking and drugs in the culture. Rappers these days go on and on (and on…) about how they “bake up pies and cakes” and spend their time “in the kitchen.” The unaware might be forgiven for listening … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
Casino is one of my favorite Martin Scorsese movies, and one of the reasons is because of the behind-the-scenes look into Vegas, baby, Vegas that the Academy Award winner gives us. Now, Scorsese is re-teaming with his Departed star Mark Wahlberg to give television audiences the same look – only this time, it’ll be about … Continue reading
The Orphanage headquarters in Los Angeles is on Sunset Boulevard. It seems sort of strange for one of the newer major players is the effects world to have such a pricey locale, but (as it should be no surprise) though they have an office in LA, most of their work is done in San Francisco, … Continue reading
