A first behind the scenes clip from The Boogeyman 2 has popped up on the Ghost House Pictures website, but it doesn’t answer the question of why the hell they are making a sequel to the shitty 2005 Boogeyman, which starred Emily Deschanel before she was rescued from career hell by Bones. It does answer … Continue reading
I don’t want to be needlessly cruel to Neil LaBute, a favorite filmmaker of mine, but a recently discovered YouTube video of only the best parts of his 2006 remake of The Wicker Man is the kind of thing that will have tears streaming down your face. Click here to watch the video. For the … Continue reading
The Consumer Electronics Show is happening right now, and IGN Staff (his mother had real foresight to name him that) is on the scene. He visited the Sony booth, and came back with a description of a big Spider-Man 3 fight scene that is playing there. Here’s a taste of what IGN Staff saw (this … Continue reading
We’ve learned to live with films with similar concepts coming out at the same time – giant asteroid movies, volcano movies, homosexual writers visiting killers in jail movies. Now we may have to start learning to live with movies with similar names coming out at the same time. This December it was The Good German … Continue reading

If you hadn’t read the news elsewhere, you could simply see "Tim Burton" and know the film stars Johnny Depp and Helena “Thanks for … Continue reading

Mitchell and his cast took some real risks, including engaging in actual sex on screen, but never took the movie into boring art film territory. The sex in … Continue reading
Thanks to the internet I have seen a video of a man getting fucked to death by a horse. Now that’s an opening sentence. And it’s true*. The now infamous Mr. Hands incident – in which Kenneth Pinyan, known online as Mr. Hands, sustained lethal internal injuries while being fucked by a horse – has … Continue reading
With James Cameron’s pathological tendency to say “I’m going to do this” and then make wet documentaries for going on the past decade, I’ve taken the Indiana Jones stance on about everything he’s said: I’ll believe it when my ass is firmly parked in the theater seat. Incredulity aside, when you hear James Cameron talk … Continue reading
I hope more movie studios take a page from Fox Atomic’s playbook and send out pictures of people who have been massively destroyed as elements of their marketing campaigns. For instance, I think more people would have gone to see Miss Potter if Coming Soon had run an image of Renee Zellwegger wearing her own … Continue reading
Shannon Hall, my wonderful producer from the late, lamented (for the time being?) Filter on G4, sent along a link to an exclusive that the nerd channel is crowing about – they have the first look at the design of the monster from Outlander, the movie where an alien comes to Earth and beats the … Continue reading
