I feel like I may have blown my joke load in the title of this piece – what else is there to say about Rambo’s quizzical look at a viper that probably wants to inject him with some venom? Moviesonline.ca has a couple of new pics from John Rambo, Sylvester Stallone’s attempt to restart his … Continue reading
The other night I visited a 7/11 in Burbank that had been made up as a Kwik-E-Mart. There are a handful of stores that have made the full change (all 7/11s sell Simpsons products, and you’re actually more likely to find a Buzz Cola at a non-Kwik-E-Mart), and they made that change weeks ago… and … Continue reading
Last night I underwent a rite of Los Angeles passage: I went to my first test screening. Many of the interweb writers out here make it a regular point to hit up these test screenings, and they have all sorts of connections and people on the inside who hook them up with date and location … Continue reading
Bob Odenkirk exudes comedic confidence, and with good reason. He spent time as a writer on Saturday Night Live before getting some screen time on the short lived Ben Stiller Show (and was the lead in what I think are the best character skits from that show – Charles Manson) then went on to become … Continue reading
I’ve written nice things about Steven Awalt and his site, SpielbergFilms.com, so I was a little shocked to see him getting not just uppity about me, but downright personally insulting. There’s a thread on his site’s message boards that links to Moriarty’s recent Indy IV Rumor Control article on Aint It Cool News; in that … Continue reading

That there are enough people who lack enough of a properly formed sense of humor to have turned … Continue reading
Casino Royale was one of the best James Bond movies in decades, almost universally loved by critics and audiences, and was the biggest money-maker in the franchise’s history. The film proved that a stripped down, serious and gritty Bond film could score bigger than any wacky superspy nonsense, and that Daniel Craig’s rough and tumble … Continue reading
I’ve been a little out of the loop for the last week, so this image of a Beowulf maquette has surely made the rounds, but since I still haven’t seen a ton of imagery from the new Bob Zemeckis motion captured film (footage from which I will be seeing next Wednesday), I thought this picture, … Continue reading
Anne Hathaway has been remarkable not just for her luscious, luscious rack but also the fact that unlike most other starlets in her age bracket she’s been free of scandal and controversy*. So that means she won’t be drawing from personal experience when playing a woman who has just gotten out of rehab in a … Continue reading
There’s no question whether there will be a sequel to Transformers; the real query is what it will be about*. If the guy who does the voice of Bumblebee (ie, delivers one line in the film) is right, the plot of the sequel is being set up in a special feature on the Transformers DVD … Continue reading
