V For Vendetta is the most dangerous film of 2006. If you’re an idiot or a fascist, that is. Remember that when people begin complaining about this film, and try to figure out which of the two categories they fit in. Or maybe they’ll fit in both! I cannot bring you a review of this … Continue reading
I’m an unabashed fan of 19th century New York City, and part of what I love about that time period is the unabashed corruption of the “machine” system of politics used by people like the infamous Boss Tweed. The levels of fraud, intimidation and actual violence used to guarantee continued incumbency for preferred candidates makes … Continue reading
My experience with Running Scared went something like this: first came skepticism. The film opens with a heavily stylized six minute gun battle, and while I thought there were some cool shots and excellent kills, it seemed pretty standard. Next came disbelief. I couldn’t believe that the things I was seeing on screen were happening … Continue reading
I’ve been talking up the new film Running Scared, and with good reason – it’s a pretty great, completely delirious action film that you’re going to love. One of the things that I’ve been noticing is that the movie hasn’t quite been sold right, and that’s a concern director Wayne Kramer had when I talked … Continue reading

While the internets have been abuzz with Batman 2 rumors – half of Hollywood has been fantasy cast in this film, which will have a bigger cast of characters than Crisis On Infinite Earth if you believe the niche sites who fuel this nonsense – Warner Bros has been very quiet. Which is weird – … Continue reading
Judd Apatow’s next film continues shaping up wonderfully, and the addition of Anne Hathaway to the cast only makes it better. The film is Knocked Up, and it promises to do for Seth Rogen what The 40 Year Old Virgin did for Steve Carrell – win him an Emmy for Outstanding Actor on a TV … Continue reading
Tom Cruise is eyeing new projects, now that Mission: Impossible: III is about to hit theaters and his demon spawn is secure inside Katie Holmes’ well-audited belly. The most interesting one is James Mangold’s remake of the classic western 3:10 to Yuma, which we just told you about yesterday. If Cruise did appear in the … Continue reading
One of the great things about Hollywood is that you can be arrested in drag while offering a cop sex for money and you’ll still possibly have a job in the morning. You can’t do that when you’re working at IBM. When I read that Lee Tamahori had been busted for just that offense (and … Continue reading
