I think my review of Stoned, a film about Rolling Stones founder Brian Jones’ last days on Earth, could be summed up with the fact that White Rabbit plays over a drug trip scene. I thought the movie had suddenly switched gears into being a parody – how can you still score a drug scene … Continue reading
I’m seeing American Dreamz tonight, the new film from Paul Weitz. It’s got some less-than-stellar buzz, but I’m hoping that even if the movie is bad, it’s bad in an interesting way. And the basic plot synopsis tells me that it could be: On the morning of his re-election, the President (Dennis Quaid) decides to … Continue reading

The trade reports that the footage will feature more gore, more death, more nudity, more snakes and more death scenes. And they shot a scene where … Continue reading
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez have remained remarkably tight-lipped when it comes to announcing cast members for their horror hybrid Grind House, and until we hear some official word we’ll have to settle for rumors like this. Robert Rodriguez is currently shooting his segment Project Terror down in Austin, and it seems as though he’ll … Continue reading

I kind of feel bad for Gregg Henry. The character actor is incredible in Slither – his every line is hilarious, and his delivery is impeccable. He has a fit about Mr. Pibb that left me almost in tears. But I feel bad for him because he was part of a five person press conference … Continue reading
