And the movie that was released was a disaster, which wasn’t great news after his last directorial … Continue reading
The spying game in our post-Cold War world seems to often be all about planting bugs in mosques and guys transporting old Russian nukes in the back of pick-up trucks across bumpy Syrian landscapes. So when Alexander Litvinenko started dying from radiation poisoning – and a rare kind, polonium poisoning at that – the world … Continue reading
— That Halle Berry’s got some nerve!

The Weinstein Company has signed novelist Michael Connelly (Echo Park, Blood Work) and novelist/filmmaker Terrill Lee Lankford (Earthquake Weather) to hash out the screenplay for … Continue reading
It’s December 2005 and I’m watching oily half-naked men swing swords around. No, I am not at Garth Franklin’s latest party – it’s the set of 300, Warner Bros’ adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel take on the Battle of Thermopylae, where 300 Spartans held off maybe a million or more Persians, saving Greece and … Continue reading
