While I continue to impatiently wait for a Half-Life movie to get made, Microsoft’s kazillion-selling videogame Halo is still rolling toward theaters. The movie, a joint production between Fox and Universal that will probably cost more than I make in a year, even has a vague (but not surprising) release date already slotted: Halo will … Continue reading
When Mr. Beaks really likes something, I pay attention. He really liked the script for Margaret, Kenneth Lonergan’s insanely long awaited follow up to You Can Count on Me (has it really been five years since that film threatened to make a star out of Mark Ruffalo? It really feels like that guy is treading … Continue reading
One of the things that is so comforting about movies is that violence and explosions solve everything. In cinema there is no problem that cannot be overcome by the judicious application of explosives. Imagine what the indie world could accomplish if those arty farty filmmakers could just embrace this concept. Tell me that The Sea … Continue reading

The Baxter is a really sweet little movie. It has a premise so great you have to wonder why it hasn’t been done before: In every romantic comedy, one of the two leads will be about to commit to/marry someone when the other lead will burst in and win the day. So what happens to the … Continue reading

The Flash area of the web site for the new Tim Burton stop-motion film, The Corpse Bride, is up and running, and it’s pretty damn cool. It’s got all kinds of downloads and clips and stuff, and there are … Continue reading

I really wish Terry Gilliam’s The Brothers Grimm was worse. Because then at least it would be a bad movie, and bad movies from great directors can often be as interesting, if not moreso, than good movies by bad directors. I would certainly rather spend time talking about the worst Kubrick film rather than the … Continue reading
