For a while, it was uncertain whether Leonardo DiCaprio would live up to the potential suggested by What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. He transformed so completely into the mentally challenged Arnie, even much more lucrative roles as a young stowaway on the Titanic or an MTV version of Shakespeare seemed like average duties. Recent roles in … Continue reading

There is a toy line coming for Walter Hill’s 1979 cult classic The Warriors. I’m not just doing this news item as an opportunity to crack silly … Continue reading
Nicolas Cage has not done traditional press rounds in at least the five years I’ve been a journalist. He’s always pleasant on the red carpet, answering a question or two if he makes it to your spot on the line, but no roundtable interviews. Only for Sonny, the film he directed, did he do three … Continue reading

Plus, when the films are genre flicks like this featuring the muscular hotnesses of both Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds it’s hard to say no. Blade Trinity, aka … Continue reading
