BOURNE SPOTTED IN UK

The coming of The Bourne Ultimatum has felt like it’s being patterned after the maneuvering of its title character. The movie has been lingering in the periphery with casting news here, a poster there and a couple non-descript official images. You know it’s out there, but the question’s been when we’ll see anything substantial on … Continue reading

FULL 28 WEEKS TRAILER

If you’ve been paying attention to the runup to The Hills Have Eyes 2, you’ve seen the rough clips from 28 Weeks Later. The US military is hanging out in the UK and cleaning up the mess that Cillian survived. Of course, nobody’s perfect, so masticated flesh once again hits the fan. The full trailer … Continue reading

KINNEARING THE DEAD

Greg Kinnear’s had a pretty solid run at the movies since his he was yakking it up against a backdrop of floating spoons on E!’s Talk Soup back in the day. I only mention that because it’s hard to remember the guy having done anything but acting in decently-picked projects (I’m ignoring you, Bad News … Continue reading

YOU REMEMBER CORBIN BERNSEN?

Corbin Bernsen. Man of baldness. Man of the TV guest star. Man of the bit part in way too many terrible Sci-Fi movies. Funny what happens when your LA Law star fades. Still, Corbin isn’t giving up on the business that gave up on him (which it really didn’t- the guy is more TV prolific … Continue reading

LI. CHAN. ANGARANO.

Jet Li has a mean glare, but for a guy who made a name for himself as a legend of hyperspeed fisticuffs, he’s got some portraits that are pure sissy. Every time I see Li allowing enemies to hurl themselves upon his carbide fists of doom, I imagine what he does after the fact. By … Continue reading

ADAMA LIKES THE CRYSTAL

With all his recent identification with Battlestar Galactica, it’s easy to lose sight of the fact that while Edward James Olmos has been an accomplished actor, he’s also ably handled the identity of producer/director/activist. His contributions to Battlestar Galactica will no doubt continue (thanks to the full 4th season pickup by Sci-Fi), but Olmos isn’t … Continue reading

NATHAN HALE WAS HUNG. IN ALL THE WRONG WAYS.

Spy stories are a Hollywood staple- and why not? The profession is filled with crazy stories, mystery and speculation that allows for all kinds of murderous, action-ous and diabolical-ous plotting. What hasn’t been seen a lot in contemporary big screen spying are stories about how the sneaks rolled in the old, old school.Enter the biography … Continue reading
