When I was growing up, the letter column was always my favorite part of a comic book – I would often skip right to the end to read what the creators had to say for themselves. Now it’s my turn. Of course those columns would appear monthly, while who even remembers the last time I … Continue reading
Let’s start the rumor mill: was the American remake of The Eye, directed by David Moreau and Xavier Palud in their first American work, too good or smart or moody or without sufficient cheap jump scares for Lionsgate? Whatever the reason behind it, the studio has called in filmmaking giant Patrick ‘Dracula 2000‘ Lussier to … Continue reading
It looks like Wolverine, which is shooting in Sydney, Australia starting in December, is getting a new script. Fox has brought in Skip Woods to retool David Benioff’s take on the film, and sources tell IGN that this is ‘more than a polish.’ Apparently Fox liked Woods’ script for Hitman so much (they certainly couldn’t … Continue reading
I liked the first National Treasure. Not enough to ever see it again or buy the DVD or anything, but enough to give it a passing grade of 7/10 in my review. I found the movie to be charmingly old fashioned at its core, but I wonder how much charm the sequel to the surprise … Continue reading
You know you’re a lazy motherfucker when you can’t even get around to completing your own ego-stroking series of pictures from your latest foreign trip. And forget about the travelogue! Well, friends, my promise to you is that I will complete this ego stroke. Today I bring you the first half of my pictures from … Continue reading
I knew that queer-ass Sweep the Leg, Johnny video was going to have some sort of effect on the world at large, like a YouTube-spawned version of Grant Morrison’s theories of pop magick. Sure enough, there’s word that a remake of The Karate Kid is in the works, and since they’ve already done the story … Continue reading
From my review of Jackass Number Two: During the end credits of Jackass Number Two Bam Margera, who cries a couple of times in this film, says, “I hope there’s no Jackass 3.” I understand where he’s coming from – this movie has upped the ante so much that I think the only way a … Continue reading
Writing about the Justice League of America movie has already proven to be a war of attrition, and it’s not getting any easier. On the heels of the announcement that Jessica Biel was in talks to play Wonder Woman in the film, EW.com reports that the actress has passed on the role. We all thought … Continue reading
I have, on occasion, written about how much I hate nostalgia. People who engage in constant stroking of their nostalgia nerves strike me as feeble at best, blazingly immature at worst, and most likely massively unhappy with their lives today. With that in mind I must come to you with a confession: minutes ago I … Continue reading
In this day and age it’s unusual to find a really arresting opening credit sequence. It’s even more unusual to find one as powerful and information-packed as the opening of The Kingdom. The new film from Peter Berg, which I loved, opens tomorrow, but you can head over to Yahoo! and see the first four … Continue reading
