We’ve been salivating for another fried gold slice from the masterminds behind Shaun of the Dead, arguably the best balance of horror and comedy since American Werewolf in London. Can they reach similar heights with the tired buddy-cop formula? Probably!

With the blessed box office of Passion of the Christ and, peripherally, Narnia, everyone (besides most of our government and about 70% of the country) wants to be in the Jesus business. That now also includes New Line and endlessly adorable young Whale Rider star Keisha Castle-Hughes, who’ll portray the Virgin Mary in that studio’s … Continue reading
Once he sheathes his adamantium claws, Hugh Jackman can still use his leather X-gloves to grip the shifter for an upcoming project called Drive.
