Paramount has officially unveiled four of the Autobots to the world at a GM event in Hollywood last night. You’ve already seen the Camaro – aka Bumblebee – before, but the other cars have only been seen in spy photos on the web. I actually saw all of these cars while visiting the set of … Continue reading
Tough news for all people living outside of the United States – not only are you not Americans, and thus probably targets for regime change at any moment (we’re looking at you, Tony Blair, you pussy!), but you’re also not getting Grindhouse. At least if you’re in a non-English speaking territory, and in that case, … Continue reading
We’re less than a week away from the 79th annual Academy Awards, the awards ceremony most likely to make me get angrier and angrier over the course of four hours. Last year I actually got to my feet and yelled obscenities at my television when Crash got the Best Picture Oscar. This year looks like … Continue reading
Hey look, the Saturn Awards have been around as long as me. The Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror films has announced the nominations for the 33rd Annual Saturn Awards, the show that recognizes great talent and achievement in some often marginalized genres.

Aint It Cool News has links to all the contestants on YouTube, and while some – like Emmanuel, Prisoner of Frankenstein – are cute or interesting, only one is brilliant. That’s Cong of the Dead, and while … Continue reading
The whole Snakes on a Plane fiasco proved something that should have been obvious long ago (at least as long ago as Shock Treatment, the awful sequel to Rocky Horror Picture Show) – you can’t create a cult film. The marketing campaign can’t tout your movie as a cult film. A cult movie has to … Continue reading
Fresh off his feel-good epic abortion documentary, Lake of Fire*, Tony Kaye is seating himself in the director’s chair for Blackwater Transit, a crime film starring Bruce Willis and Samuel L Jackson that will shoot in New Orleans. You might remember Kaye as the director of American History X, which he disowned after Ed Norton … Continue reading
The ad campaign for this year’s Oscars has been about famous movie quotes. There’s not a day goes by where I don’t see a cab with “FRODO!” on the roof.
