This is a travelogue. There is nothing newsworthy – or probably all that interesting – contained within. This piece stems only from my fascination and envy of Paul Theroux. For the pictures I took on this trip, click here. For something about movies, click anywhere else on the left side menu. We stood there in … Continue reading
I have found Film Ick to be one of the less reliable sources on the internet – they report just about any information they get, so be suitably wary of the following information (although much of it is based on old news and solid conjecture): The blog is reporting that Neil Gaiman will start shooting … Continue reading
When I spoke to Once’s star Glen Hansard and director John Carney, I didn’t bring up the Oscar issue. I mean, the movie had enough of an uphill battle in just being seen this summer – a tiny Irish folkish indie up against a season packed with threepeats and other juggernauts? I also wasn’t clear … Continue reading
The Entity is one of the greatest movies ever made, and I’m not brooking any lip in response. If you think it isn’t the greatest movie ever made, I ask you this: How many other movies feature not only Barbara Hershey being graphically raped by an invisible ghost, but also let you see the effects … Continue reading

Mr. Brooks is a trainwreck, but not in the ‘I cannot turn away as this fast-moving train slams into another fast-moving train’ way. It’s more like ‘I have come upon the bloody, fiery wreckage of a wrecked train, and I can just make out some of the mechanical and body parts in this mess, and … Continue reading
The other day my brother said to me, ‘Everything you write in The Devin’s Advocate is about something you hate.’ I don’t agree with that sentiment*, but I see where he’s coming from. Like all brilliant, creative people I crave feedback, so I tend to write things that are geared to get a reaction. Plus … Continue reading
IMAX, the neck cramp inducing, motion sickness causing fad method of projection available at 280 screens across America, is looming large in the mind of The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan, who is shooting four action scenes for the movie using the big ass format. One of the scenes will be the introduction of the … Continue reading
Knocked Up opens this Friday, and it’s one of the best and funniest movies you’re going to see this year (I gave it a 10 out of 10 in my review right here). Part of what makes the film work so wonderfully is star Seth Rogen as a schlub who accidentally impregnates a woman way … Continue reading
