Albert Brooks films are like little treats. They come along every four or five years, and even when they’re not great, they’re worth seeing. If only more people would see them – I feel like Defending Your Life is the last Brooks film that was seen by anything approaching a wide audience. And I fear … 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
Abel Ferrara’s early 90s crime flick King of New York is a great, nasty little slice that not only features Christopher Walken at his finest (“I never killed anybody who didn’t deserve it”) but also early appearances by a number of now-familiar faces: David Caruso, Laurence (then Larry) Fishburne, Harold Perrineau, Steve Buscemi, Giancarlo Esposito, … Continue reading
I’m going to base this conjecture solely on his previous film Brotherhood of the Wolf, but I’m gonna go ahead and assume that Christophe Gans’ first venture in the videogame-to-film genre will fare better than the similar efforts of Paul WS Anderson and Dr. Uwe Boll. Honestly, that’s a guess, though. Because Bloodrayne was fuckin’ … Continue reading

Imagine a project that gave the greatest horror filmmakers some money and one hour to do whatever they wanted? Wouldn’t that be the coolest thing ever? If you’re saying to yourself, ‘We have that, Devin, and it’s called Masters of Horror, airing on Showtime,’ you’d be wrong. It turns out that even Showtime’s series has … Continue reading
The biggest pro of 16 Blocks is its simple concept – a old cop (Bruce Willis equipped with one world class poon broom) must take a wiseass perp (Mos Def, happy to have survived Hitchhiker’s) 16 blocks to NYPD’s 1st Precinct at 100 Centre Street. And of course along the way all kinds of madness … Continue reading
A Scanner Darkly could be a very cool film, and is almost certainly exactly what Richard Linklater needs post-Bad News Bears. The only problem with the movie is that it seems like it’s never coming out. The release date keeps getting pushed back further and further – now the film is scheduled to hit July … Continue reading
Lead interweb geek Harry Knowles has dug up the latest on the casting for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. The titular web-slinger’s other love interest, Gwen Stacy (part of one of the more popular and important story arcs in Spider-Man’s history), is apparently in with the adorable Bryce Dallas Howard now signed for the role. Here’s … Continue reading
Last week I headed over to Newark International Airport to see the last day of principal photography of Paul Greengrass’ 9/11 film, Flight 93. It was a great opportunity to finally meet Paul, with whom I spent a number of hours on the phone in 2005. Paul’s one of the friendliest, most gregarious people of … Continue reading
