Ever since The Fountain first started screening on Wednesday morning I have been haunting the internet’s many chat rooms and message boards looking for one thing: barely legal girls to chat with on IM. And while I was at, I also kept an eye out for feedback about Darren Aronofsky’s wonderful film. I wanted to … Continue reading
Kevin Smith and film critics – it’s a carousel that never stops turning. The latest guy to get banned from any future screenings of Kevin Smith movies is Roger Moore – no, not the poofty Bond, but rather an Orlando writer. He did a whole piece about Kevin Smith’s latest DVD release, An Evening With … Continue reading
Pan’s Labyrinth is one of my three masterpieces of 2006, and it’s now playing in the UK – so if you have bad teeth and drink your beer warm, there’s a good chance you can see it in theaters this weekend. Us New Worlders will have to wait until the end of December, though. Bloody … Continue reading
Last night I considered watching Spider-Man 2 on Fox, but opted for Jason X instead*. If I had watched the movie, I would have seen that there were a number of Spider-Man 3 clips attached to the movie, including some footage of Venom that’s familiar to those who were at Comic Con this past summer. … Continue reading

Nooo! First New Line shafts Peter Jackson and now this! It’s a bad week to be a guy who … Continue reading
The first two questions in this one on one interview come from… a round table. I know, I know. The two things are completely the opposite. But here’s what happened: I flew to LA two weekends ago for the junket for The Fountain, and I was guaranteed a one on one with Darren Aronofsky. He’s … Continue reading
Read my review of The Fountain right here. Relive our many months of The Fountain coverage right here. The reviews are coming in for The Fountain, and it’s looking more and more like I’m in the minority. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I was hoping for more.

Rachel Weisz is gorgeous. Some movie stars don’t hold up when you meet them in real life, but Weisz is the real deal when it comes to beauty. But what makes Weisz one of the few actors worth actually talking to is the fact that she’s a damn brilliant actress who deserves every ounce of … Continue reading
The Fountain is unlike any other studio film you’ll see this year. For that matter, it’s unlike any American film you’ll see any time soon.
