I have flown in and out of Newark International Airport many times, and I’m familiar with the sights from the monorail as you head into the heart of the airport – the Budweiser sign, the fleet of Hooters Air planes (yes, they’re real). But the day I visited the set of Paul Greengrass’ United 93 … Continue reading
If the Farrelly Brothers had a new film in the works and no one cared, would it make a dime? This is the philosophical question that must be answered as the guys who were once the Kings of Modern Movie Comedy have slowly slid off the radar. Their last few films have been worse and … Continue reading
Oh you doubters! Oh you haters! You didn’t believe me that Paul Walker delivers a perspective changing performance in Running Scared. In fact the box office receipts for Running Scared indicate you didn’t believe me that it was a damn good movie in the first place. But that’s OK. I don’t need your approval when … Continue reading
Holee shit. I don’t usually run set photos, but these pics snapped on the set of We Are Marshall need to be seen. The film is the true story of Marshall University’s football team, which got decimated in a plane crash.

Ever since he left the world of cinematography (where he was, without a doubt, one of the greats, especially in his work with the Coen Brothers on films like Miller’s Crossing and Blood Simple) for the director’s chair, reading Barry Sonnenfeld’s resume can give you a serious case of whiplash. He’s gone from the heights … Continue reading
Aeon Flux did not do well in theaters – it earned back less than half its budget in domestic release and the reviews were overwhelmingly negative. Hollywood generally has a way of dealing with a film that performs like this… they walk away and don’t talk about it much. But the DVD release of Aeon … Continue reading

True story: I got a press release telling me that Silent Hill is the most graffitied poster in New York City. That poster is everywhere in town, and the big mouthless expanse of Jodelle Ferland’s face does make a tempting target. But is there a graffiti database where they compare the vandalism done to different … Continue reading
