What the fuck is up with the Justice League movie? The rumors have been flying faster and more furious than Superman on his way to peek into Lois Lane’s house; since I liveblogged Christian Bale’s lack of enthusiasm for a Justice League movie while his Batman trilogy was still happening, more gossip has popped up … Continue reading
I’m tempted to start a regular column where I chronicle the press releases that most blow my mind, and if I did, a recent release about the DVD version of Blades of Glory would certainly earn a spot. Blades of Glory was an OK film – not a disaster, but not a movie I have … Continue reading
Every time I write something about how shitty anime is and how much I think the otaku should be forcibly sterilized (not that these people would ever get a chance to use their junk with a willing partner), somebody writes me a polite email explaining that I should really go see Grave of the Fireflies. … Continue reading
Rendezvous With Rama is one of the great classics of science fiction*; written by Arthur C Clarke and published in 1972, Rama is about a giant, cylindrical space ark that flies through our solar system in the 22nd century.

We’re four or five months away and don’t have a title for the movie yet, which is interpreted by some online as ‘kewl.’ To me it’s ‘kweer.’ The … Continue reading
Props to Latino Review, who called this one back in May: commercial director Joseph Kosinski has been tapped to direct the remake (or re-adaptation) of Logan’s Run, the film that Bryan Singer left to fail at Superman Returns. Kosinski is probably best known for the Gears of War commercial that uses Mad World on the … Continue reading
As a straight man who experienced puberty while Ronald Reagan was still president, the name Zac Efron fills me with a profound sense of ‘Who the fuck is that?’ Wikipedia tells me that Zac is in no way related to Nora (the spellings of the last names are different, but who knows how these Hollywood … Continue reading
The excitement we felt over the reteaming of Martin Scorsese and Robert DeNiro in The Winter of Frankie Machine may be evaporating.

Frankie Machine was going to be DeNiro and Scorsese … Continue reading
