Into the breach goes Warner Bros, sending their mega-expensive adaptation of the beloved children’s book The Polar Express against the juggernaut that is Pixar’s The Incredibles. Of course this isn’t a blind shot – they do happen to have Tom Hanks in the film, in something like five roles. And he has reteamed with director … Continue reading

I’m sure there’s a percentage of the population who’s thrilled that the WWE is stretching from “sports entertainment” (i.e., burly sweaty men engaging in homoerotic fake-violence).

After a great week of submissions we’ve slowed to a stop. I haven’t received anything new for some time. Oh sure, I’ve gotten the emails saying "Sorry for the delay, I’m still working on it. Have it to you soon." That’s all good, I’ve got about 10 columns left to run before the barrel runs … Continue reading
Zombies are hot right now, which is kind of gross because you would think that a warmer environment would only speed their decay. Which is sort of a good metaphor for all the zombie movies we’re getting, as I will bet you dollars to donuts that once the current zombie craze ends we’re seeing our … Continue reading
