RISE OF THE FIERY FLATULENCE

In case it slipped your mind amidst all the upcoming summer hubbub, Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer is still on its way and 20th Century Fox wants to make sure you’re cognizant of that important fact. Which is good, because quite honestly, I actually did forget about it. So thanks to 20th Century … Continue reading

JURASSIC UNPARKED?

So it’s been a while since we’ve heard rumblings on a Jurassic Park IV. Well check your cup, because the water’s rippling again. The movie that time forget then remembered then forgot and remembered is being teased once more thanks to a recent interview with Laura Dern (who’s been rumored to return in the fourth … Continue reading

SINFUL TV

There’s a few folks out there who couldn’t give a dump or four about the Grindhouse revival that opens wide today. It’s been perceived as a roadblock to Rodriguez’ true calling of making Frank Miller movies revolving around a sinful metropolis. To that whinery it must be said, keep your pants on. Sin City 2 … Continue reading

ENTER: METAL MEN!

There have been a lot of misguided comic adaptations over the years, studios snatching up titles with a semblance of fan base and turning them into movies no one was necessarily dying to see. Some worked (Road to Perdition, American Splendor), most didn’t (Barb Wire, Steel, Tank Girl, Josie and the Pussycats and on and … Continue reading

HEART SHAPED JORDAN

Damn that Ebay! There’s always some bastard who sells their stuff without letting on to the fact that there’s some spectral apparition attached to it. And let me tell you, there’s nothing worse than slipping into Grampa Witherby’s vintage suit only to discover his ghost is using your junk as a speedbag.So goes the premise … Continue reading

HELP KWAPIS UNHELP YOU

Players are for the birds. Or so stands the basic contention behind the popular book He’s Just Not That Into You. Pffffft. Inspired by a man-behavior deconstruction episode of Sex and the City, He’s Just attempts to explain that fellas love the chase, but won’t commit unless the woman is what they really want. Which … Continue reading

AS IF ON CUE, CHUCK AND LARRY TRAILERIZE

Speaking of messing with Chuck and Larry (as Devin did here just yesterday), the trailer has arrived with intention of adding proof to the critical pudding. And it does. Kind of. It’s got Rob Schneider offensively portraying some ethnicity under gobs of crappy make-up and feels like another attempt at polished (yet baseline unfunny) Sandler … Continue reading

DISNEY’S LOSS IS DREAMWORKS GAIN

There’s a lot of railing that goes against Dreamworks Animation. In most cases, with its reliance on the pop culture Shrek formula and star power instead of character and story, deservedly so. The topic has been discussed to death on the boards and for those who champion Dreamworks and those who spit in their general … Continue reading
