INTERVIEW: TIM ROBBINS (WAR OF THE WORLDS)
I have to admit that I was bummed that Tim Robbins was only giving a press conference at the War of the Worlds junket. I’ve long admired the guy and his politics, and I was hoping for a more intimate setting. But alas, I had to share him with 119 other journalists. That’s OK – … Continue reading
REVIEW: WAR OF THE WORLDS
Steven Spielberg is widely credited as having invented the summer blockbuster. His Jaws was the first film of its kind, a massive and unstoppable ticket-selling machine, just as single-minded as the shark itself. But the blockbusters that have come after have strayed from the Jaws blueprint – it’s easy to forget that Jaws isn’t a … Continue reading

TRAILER: TRANSPORTER 2
Jason Statham is back for more homoerotic action (come on, even the director thought the first one was pretty gay, and he’s French) in The Transporter 2, although this time he really seems to be more of a chauffeur. Retired from the parcel delivery business, ex-military operative Frank Martin has relocated to Miami where he … Continue reading
KOOOOOOONG!
Kong is seen. That’s the face of the big ape who is going to rule the end of the year in Peter Jackson’s remake of the classic film. Looks pretty good to me – I like his snaggly tooth, and he has a convincing beat up look about him. That sort of look comes from … Continue reading
A TRAILER FOR LADY VENGEANCE
The concluding chapter of Chan Park-Wook’s astonishing vengeance trilogy, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, is almost out in Korea, and the trailer is here. I don’t speak a word of Korean (except "jaji", which sounds like "Chachi," and apparently means "dick") but I do enjoy Karaoke in Koreatown and I also enjoy the imagery of the … Continue reading
GOYER IS NOT SO INVISIBLE
Here on our message board discussion of Batman Begins, many people are blaming all the stuff they don’t like in the film on David Goyer. There’s this impression, it seems, that Christopher Nolan was forced to use some Goyer screenplay and that the director valiantly worked to beat it into shape. From what I understand … Continue reading
LA FEMME SUPERMAN
The hottest girl ever named after an animal rights group, La Femme Nikita star Peta Wilson, is going to be appearing in Bryan Singer’s Superman Returns in an unknown role. The news broke like the wind on Peta’s own site, where the following cryptic blurb appeared: "Peta will be in the new Superman Returns which … Continue reading
