I never do this. I hate it when there’s one picture from a movie that gets out on the web and it shows diddly shit and everyone gets psyched about it. "Oooh, Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne!" ie, Christian Bale in a suit. Hate it. But here I am doing it! That’s just because the … Continue reading
Luke Wilson, brother of the Butterscotch Stallion, is in talks to star in the new Ivan Reitman movie, Super Ex. It’s about a guy who breaks up with his girlfriend only to find out that she’s a superhero, and she uses her powers against him. It’s part of the next wave of superhero films, which … Continue reading
You can’t keep a good shark down. While there was a Jaws DVD that hit shelves a couple of years ago, this is the film’s 30th anniversary, which is as good a time as any for a double dip! The good news is that the new Jaws disc seems actually worth buying. But maybe you … Continue reading
Hello, everyone! After a bit of a hiatus, this sucker’s back. I’ve gotten a few more submissions (to those who haven’t heard from me, I apologize. You will soon enough.), so thankfully it seems that the ship will stay afloat for at least a little while longer. So keep ’em coming, folks. This is your … Continue reading
Here’s a baby I’ve been anticipating for quite some time. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride is the follow up to his (and I can’t NOT mention Henry Selick) first stop-motion masterpiece, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Oddly enough, the film is loosely based on a 19th century Russian folktale which is supposedly built on the historical fact … Continue reading
The Saddest Movie Ever Made: The Swimmer It‘s back! For the triumphant second edition of this column — currently on track for a blistering quarterly publication schedule — I’ve picked a movie that couldn’t be more different from the subjects of the first installment. From Japanese cyberpunk we’re going straight to sixties suburban malaise, courtesy … Continue reading
Fantastic Four, when your trailers are pretty much the bottom rung of trailerdom, you’ve got yourself a bit of a problem. Even the inclusion of the TRUE human torch, Jessica Alba (you know, ’cause she’s hot), may not be enough to salvage this one. This new trailer starts off alright, but about a third in, … Continue reading
Casting for the remake of Wes Craven’s classic The Hills Have Eyes has pretty much finished, and director Alexadre Aja (the fine hand behind High Tension, a movie I guess only I liked) has gotten himself some pretty good people. In the interest of it being 2 AM by me and I am sleepy, here … Continue reading
Tom Hanks’ Playtone and Universal Pictures have bought the life rights to Mark Felt and his family. You may recall that Felt was the stunningly disappointing person behind the Deep Throat monicker, the guy whose inside info led to the breaking of the Watergate scandal and the fall of the Nixon Administration. Hanks and friends have bought … Continue reading
Who do you look for as a director when you’re remaking the family classic Swiss Family Robinson? If you’re Disney you go right for the dude who directed T3 and U-571, Jonathan Mostow. It seems like a weird choice to me, but then again no one thought that Scorsese had a women’s film in him … Continue reading
