New pictures from the Vancouver shoot of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer have appeared online, and they’re of a super-powered wedding. The first pics from the wedding between Sue Storm and Reed Richards appeared on the internet a couple of weeks back and showed our heroes happy and celebrating. But this is a … Continue reading
George Clooney and the Coen Brothers can’t get enough of each other. They’re teaming for a third film (yes, third. Everybody remembers O Brother, Where Art Thou?, but Intolerable Cruelty seems to have dropped off the resumes of everyone involved), and this time George is playing a killer. The movie called Burn Before Reading, and … Continue reading
The internet can be really unfair to James Gunn. There are people out there who still really hate him for writing the Dawn of the Dead remake. When I interviewed him for Slither’s theatrical release earlier this year, he told me that he got death threats. That’s especially sad because the DOTD remake is a … Continue reading
When I saw the documentary Cocaine Cowboys a couple of months ago, I walked out the theater with the strong urge to play Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and do a couple of lines. I split the difference and watched Scarface. The film is an incredibly entertaining and astonishingly educational look at the world of … Continue reading

Someone has to draw the line somewhere. Someone needs to stand up and demand a change. Someone needs to lead the way. Someone has to stop running all these fucking inane Indiana Jones IV stories. Has there ever been as much bandwidth wasted on a movie that’s essentially theoretical? Every time anyone speaks to Harrison … Continue reading
A lot of you aren’t going to like hearing this, but getting excited about a Fraggle Rock movie will make you exceptionally suspect. If you have kids at least you can pretend that you’re excited that your kids will have a chance to get into something you liked when you were younger, but if you’re … Continue reading
Sanity reared its head in Hollywood today as Fox and Universal pulled out of the Xbox video game movie Halo after its budget rocketed to a rumored 200 million dollars. A representative for executive producer Peter Jackson made a carefully worded denial of that number: "The only budget the filmmakers every spoke about was $145 … Continue reading
I’m not going to waste much time here other than to tell you that these amazing pictures are available in much bigger form if you click on them. Some of these will make incredible wallpapers.
