SHOOTER GETS A SHOT

It’s not that I’m particularly apathetic, but my only real emotional response to the end of Brokeback Mountain was “Damn, his daughter is seriously cute”. We’ll be seeing more of adorable actress Kate Mara soon — having survived the Urban Legends “franchise”, she makes the move to more ballistic fare with Shooter, Paramount’s adaptation of … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 4.12.06

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards.

SINGLETON’S TENDER TOUCH

JOINING THE RANKS OF RAMBO

Looks like it’s getting a little crowded in Rambo’s neighborhood, and he can’t be too happy about that.

But … Continue reading

Time once again to warm up the region-free DVD player and check the pre-order page at your favorite import reseller — the Weinsteins are apparently still searching for their own Crouching Tiger-sized hit, and the process they’re using to discover it is to acquire domestic rights to every Asian film that crosses their field of vision. … Continue reading

THIS LIZARD AIN’T BROKE

Even though the Dukes of Hazzard movie was a considerably painful viewing experience (Jessica Simpson’s upstanding bosom and outstanding buttocks notwithstanding), it was apparently lucrative enough to provide director Jay Chandrasekhar with more opportunities. The Dukes’ solid box office performance secured a Warner Bros. deal for the de facto leader of comedy quintet Broken Lizard, … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN

Bring Out Your Dead! It’s the Ghoulish Finale of “Marvel Zombies” By Jeb D. Writer Robert Kirkman made his name in the indie comic world by exploring the depths to be found in stories of superheroes (Invincible) and zombies (Walking Dead). In the wake of the initial successes of these titles, Marvel signed him up, … Continue reading
