NIPPON AT CLINT’S HEELS

Cinematic veteran and personal idol Clint Eastwood has assembled a fairly decent cast (and Paul Walker) for his WWII tale Flags of Our Fathers, which follows those Easy Company soldiers made famous by the flag-raising photograph at the battle of Iwo Jima.  But that’s not enough war for the guy who went where eagles dare, … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 10.16.05

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading

THOR’S COMIC COLUMN: BRIAN AZZARELLO INTERVIEW

100 Bullets writer Brian Azzarello has a new series coming out.  It’s a Western.  It’s violent.  It’s bloody.  It’s dark.  And it’s been a long time coming. For reasons that I’ll never understand, it seemed at one point that the Western – the quintessential American genre – was dead.  Its conventions living on – only … Continue reading

DAVE’S UNDERGROUND

Got a few minutes for a zombie treat? Of course you do! In the short film Texas Fortune, a Southern drifter tracks the walking dead. But wait – there may be something other than altruistic motives behind his zombie hunting. Check it out for yourself RIGHT HERE. Slick, short and sweet, Texas Fortune was put … Continue reading

SHAUN OF THE IMPOSSIBLE

Wow, two stories about Shaun of the Dead star Simon Pegg in the same day?  It’s almost like when we seemed to have a new interview with those guys on the site every week for several months.  But if anyone deserves mainstream success, it’s anyone involved with that flick. And now Tom Cruise is getting … Continue reading

ALICIA WITT HEARTS AL PACINO

I’ve previously made assertions that the Spider-Man movies’ albatross (in regards to quality, not financial success, obviously) could’ve been prevented with the simple casting of pouty-lipped firetop Alicia Witt as Mary-Jane Watson (or, considering Dunst’s “transformation” consisted of red coloring and hair extensions, Jessica Biel).  But alas, we’ll have to accept Peter Parker’s lifelong fixation … Continue reading

ROMCOM, BRITISH STYLE

Gwyneth Paltrow so desperately wants to be British that her desire has infected family members, particularly kid brother Jake. But nepotism has its advantages, and now Jake gets to graduate from television to feature directing with The Good Night, a romantic comedy he wrote himself.  The movie stars Martin Freeman (The Office, Hitchhiker’s Guide to … Continue reading
