"Look at these assholes." That’s the funniest line in The Darjeeling Limited, and it also marks the point where the film slowly begins to deflate. At this point in the film the three Whitman brothers who are taking a train trip across India come across another group of brothers taking their own trip, across a … Continue reading
To say that The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising is worse than the book on which it is based is faint praise, since I found the book to be a barely readable bore. The movie’s script, by the guy behind Trainspotting, believe it or not, at least has the kindness to include incidents; ie, stuff … Continue reading
The new Iron Man teaser poster just looks like a Transformers 2 poster. It’s like someone at Paramount is just recycling ideas – did the design guy really want to get home early and beat all the traffic on the highway? I would like to donate a concept to Paramount, for free: A black poster. … Continue reading
The first trailer for Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton’s adaptation of Kevin Smith’s favorite musical, is here, and it does its damnedest to hide the fact that it’s a musical. You only get a hint of singing, and that’s in a sequence that appears so highly stylized that many people might think it’s a dream or … Continue reading
There’s something automatically humbling about riding public transportation in Los Angeles. Your personhood and independence in this town is very closely tied to your vehicle ownership, which means you get a lot of weird looks from people in passing cars when you’re standing at the bus stop. There’s a PSA campaign on the Los Angeles … Continue reading

My copy of the Transformers DVD just came in the mail, and I’m excited to pop the film in and watch it again; the movie has really grown on me in the months since I’ve seen it. I’m curious how it will play on the small screen since the parts that have grown in my … Continue reading
Alan Tudyk tells Moviehole that there’s hope for another Serenity movie, and it’s all because of the sales of the film’s recent special edition DVD. “They had to put [the new DVD] out because they’ve been selling out of the other one and so Universal’s like ‘So, let’s do another one’. And now… there’s now … Continue reading
I don’t understand this movie 10,000 BC. How could there be a 10,000 BC when everybody knows the world was created some 6,000 years ago. Goddamn Roland Emmerich – first he brings us pinko global warming propaganda with The Day After Tomorrow and now he’s promoting evolution with 10,000 BC! He’s probably working on a … Continue reading
Yesterday I brought you the news that McG is talking to producers about helming Terminator 4. Now Quint at Aint It Cool News has heard another name talking to producers: Vin Diesel. Diesel just showed up in movie news as returning for Fast and the Furious 4, a move his ailing career needs. But a … Continue reading
