I know, I know – you’re saying, ‘How on Earth could White Noise 2 be worse than the original? That one had Michael Keaton getting bodyslammed by ghosts!’ I would have agreed before today. White Noise 2, which won’t even be a real sequel to that awful, atrocious picture, may have a shot at being … Continue reading
The two hours I spent in the theater watching The Producers were the two most fun hours I have had in a movie theater this year. The adaptation of the Broadway musical version of Mel Brooks’ original movie pops, crackling energy from the screen even though it’s completely stagey. The story is simple – Max … Continue reading
This review refers to a cut of the film that may not be seen in theaters in wide release next January. It is the cut that is opening this weekend in selected cities. Terence Malick’s The New World is a sloppy, messy film that is dragged down by its own sense of profundity. It’s a … Continue reading
The version of Terence Malick’s The New World you will be seeing in theaters may not be the one I will be reviewing this week. And it may not be the one that Academy voters base their Oscar decisions on. It seems that Malick is still editing his picture, which will begin an Oscar-eligibility run … Continue reading

Fun With Dick and Jane reminds me of the 1982 film Pieces. No, Jim Carrey doesn’t go around cutting up women to create a composite girl (although if that had been the plot I would surely have liked the film better). Rather, the movie feels like it’s been cobbled together from all over the place … Continue reading
It’s a good day for the forces of reason. A Pennsylvania court held up what we all know – Intelligent Design is nonsense, and that the people who believe in it are the kinds of retards who would have declared fire came from the devil back in the day. I wish these people would shut … Continue reading
The website for Sony’s Ghost Rider movie, which has been shoved back to 2007, is open, and it contains a ten second clip that “reveals” the Ghost Rider himself. Here’s the thing – it’s the same ten second clip that got leaked to the internet over the summer, and at the time the studio was … Continue reading
