Ravishing beauty Jessica Biel and her sinewy sublimity were enough (well, almost) to rescue Blade Trinity and Stealth from the realm of the unwatchable — someone needs to give that gal the lead in an action flick pronto, because she’s better built for it than pretty much any femme fatale ever. But alas, this movie unfortunately … Continue reading
It’s quite possible that The Pink Panther has one of the most brilliant advertising campaigns of all time – the studio makes the film look like complete and utter shit so that when it’s finally released and the reviews come in, the consensus is “I certainly thought that would be worse.” Which isn’t to say … 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
If you’re looking for a film to make you believe in Harrison Ford once again, move along. Firewall isn’t it.

What’s interesting about the poster is that it posits the film as… a comedy. Find Me Guilty has been … Continue reading
Let’s get this out of the way upfront: I am not a fan of Ice Cube’s recent swing into family-friendly territory, I didn’t think Are We There Yet? was any good, and I don’t think the idea of remaking Cary Grant’s Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a rational one. But if you’re going … Continue reading
Longtime message board readers will know my position on gay marriage – yes. Not civil unions, not something “like” marriage, but marriage for all people. At least until Adam Sandler wanted in on it. Now I oppose gay marriage. Sandler and Kevin James, the *ahem* King of Queens, are starring in I Now Pronounce You … Continue reading
Let’s see… a big red cigar-chomping demon, open-faced bloodsuckers, murderous man-sized insects, various Lovecraftian beasts, whatever that freaky shit is in Pan’s Labyrinth… no doubt about it, happy horror helmer Guillermo del Toro digs his creatures. So his latest project Killing on Carnival Row sounds like his own personal paradise. According to the official synopsis, … Continue reading
