The final pieces of the Casino Royale puzzle have fallen into place. As many expected, the beautiful Eva Green has taken the role of Vesper Lynd. More surprising is the casting of Jeffrey Wright, and honest to Christ actor, as the CIA agent Felix Leiter. Wright won’t be the first black Leiter in the series … Continue reading
Warning! This article contains spoilers for Battlestar Galactica’s final few episodes of this season. Battlestar Galactica’s second season is ending on a big note – a two part story with a 90 minute finale.

I’m an unabashed fan of Darren Aronofsky. The guy’s brilliant, and his films so far have been great. The buzz I have been hearing on his next, The Fountain, makes me think he’ll be three for three (hey, Darren – how about inviting a fellow Brooklyn boy over to Protozoa to take a look at … Continue reading

I wonder where these things start – are they honest to God reflections of the thought processes of the people behind the … Continue reading
It’s not that I don’t like the screenplays of David Benioff. I do. It’s just that last week I reread The 25th Hour and it’s so good (and some of the short stories in When The Nines Roll Over are just fantastic). There aren’t enough good young novelists these days, if you ask me, and … Continue reading
Are Michael Winterbottom and Takashi Miike in some sort of international competition to see who can make the most movies? If so, I think Miike is definitely winning. Still, Winterbottom is giving him a run for his yen, with his take on Tristram Shandy just opening and the debut of his next film at the … Continue reading
Two actors who I like quite a bit seem to be committing serious career suicide – Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff are in talks to star in White Noise 2: Worse than the First. My legions of dedicated Browncoat readers will know that Nathan Fillion was the star of Serenity/Firefly, and he’s starring in the … Continue reading
