I have fear in my heart when I see a People Magazine quote on anything that isn’t People Magazine. I can’t trust the opinion of a critic who shares page space with weekly articles about how Lindsay’s teats are doing. It scares me almost as much as when Larry King offers his endorsement. Or Tom … Continue reading
I never played Flatout. I thought it was a French game, pronounced "Flatooo". Actually, I was knee deep in Need for Speed Underground and Burnout incarnations to give another racing game the time of day. Then I heard about the "Ragdoll Olympic" aspect to the game and was immediately thrilled to play the sequel. Of … Continue reading

Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
The poster for Martin Scorsese’s new movie, The Departed is here, and while I sort of like it (and sort of don’t like it), one thing I notice is that Scorsese’s name is in tiny print. It’s even smaller than his name on the Gangs of New York poster, which I thought was pretty durn … Continue reading
Last night Francis Ford Coppola came to the Los Angeles DGA to flog the new 2 disc Apocalyse Now: The Complete Dossier DVD (a really great DVD set, but not one that can claim to be complete.

Nicolas Winding Refn isn’t a household name, and probably never will be. You don’t find mainstream fame by making uncompromising crime films that are both phsyically and emotionally brutal. His movies Bleeder and Fear X (with John Turturro, co-written by Hubert Selby Jr) got some attention outside his native Denmark and surrounding Europe. Ironically, it’s … Continue reading
While we all wait patiently for Rattan Gentleman, Neil Labute’s The Wicker Man will just have to do. As everyone knows, this is a remake of the Pagan cult classic starring Edward Woodward (TV’s The Equalizer) and Christopher Lee (TV’s Count Dooku) with Nicolas Cage and Ellen Burstyn playing hero and villain, respectively. It’s an … Continue reading
