I don’t know that I can ever truly forgive Nicolas Cage. I remember when this Coppola Clansman was so into his art and craft that he ate a live cockroach for a very, very shitty horror film. Then he began taking roles in obnoxious action films halfway through the 90s. At first I assumed The … Continue reading
The first Fantastic Four movie, which ended up being way more fun than I ever expected, especially after suffering through as much of Taxi as I could tolerate, was originally slotted for a July 4th release date to take advantage of its title’s numericality (not an actual word). But Marvel’s first family flinched in the face … Continue reading
I sort of felt bad for Verbinski at this junket. The man took a short time away from the back-to-back productions of Pirates 2 and 3, which I keep hearing is totally chaotic (they don’t really have a script for 3 apparently), to promote The Weather Man here in L.A. a couple of months ago. … Continue reading

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
I miss saying something was “Something else on acid!” It was, for a time, perhaps the most overused descriptor in America, and it made me feel all warm and cuddly. Did anyone take the time this summer to say “Grizzly Man is like Grizzly Adams – on acid!”? I doubt it, and that’s too bad. … Continue reading

Eli Roth was hailed by some as Horror’s Savior for Cabin Fever, which I personally thought was a victim of hype, a schizophrenic kitchen sink collection of influences. Roth obviously has plenty of skill with the camera and possesses a keen grasp of horror film history and atmosphere, but I wanted to see him focus … Continue reading
Kilmer: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Four Seasons. [Motions to RDJ as he enters the room] Robert Downey, Jr. If there was something that you liked in the film, I wrote it. And if you were just marking time, Robert wrote it. Shane did nothing. Downey: The soundtrack? Boy, it pisses me off when … Continue reading
