Hard Candy opens this weekend, and I think it lives up to much of the buzz as far as being one hell of a psychological thriller. It’s the kind of movie that can make you exhausted because your muscles were tensed up the whole running time. Earlier this week we ran my interview with director … Continue reading
The Notorious Bettie Page isn’t a bad film, I just don’t understand why it exists. It’s a biopic that focuses on a time of the subject’s life mostly devoid of interesting conflict and it’s an examination of sexual subgroup that seems to have no actual interest in that subgroup. Perhaps most strange of all is … Continue reading
Oh, transvestites! You teach us so much in the movies. You all have heavy emotional baggage, but you maintain such a carefree and fabulous façade that you get over it. This is what you teach us – to loosen up, and maybe enjoy a little Abba or something. Movies have taught me that any man … Continue reading
We were far from any ocean, but there we were, talking to a U-Boat commander. Jürgen Prochnow, star of Das Boot (and many other… fascinating films, like Wing Commander and House of the Dead), was dolled up in his beermeister outfit, chatting with the assembled web journalists on the set of Beerfest, the latest film … Continue reading

David Slade does not talk, he holds forth. The press at the New York junket for his directorial debut, Hard Candy, was almost superfluous, since I think Slade would have gone on to make this same points to a room that was empty except for some recording devices. I can tell you already that there … Continue reading
Hey, remember that editorial I wrote about how you can’t make a movie that will piss off the right wing anymore? If not, click here to read it, but save me your hate mail – I already got a ton of it. Or save it for this piece. Anyway, it looks like I might have … Continue reading
The second film in Don Coscarelli’s Bubba trilogy* is back from the dead, as supernatural forces seem to be coming together to make Bubba Nosferatu a reality. "The project has a life of its own," Coscarelli tells Sci Fi Wire. "People seem to want it. We just have to get it finished." The “we,” of … Continue reading
