You walk into a bar. The tall bit of gorgeous that’s bored with her friends looks at you, decides that you look more like her worn-out running shoes than a guy she wants dripping sweat on her for eight minutes, and turns away. What do you do? If you’ve read The Game by Neil Strauss, … Continue reading
Sorry suckers, this isn’t a contest. But who doesn’t want a scarred, sardonic master filmmaker to adorn their living room? I’d take one. Even the pre-motorcycle wreck version of Kitano, just because he looked so damn nice. Instead, this is to do with the Venice Film Festival — you know, it’s one of the famous … Continue reading
Warner’s sent over two new one-sheets today. One for a film you’d all better see (The Assassination of Jesse James) and one for a film that, well, if you want to see it, go ahead. And I had to add a third that I’d seen floating around for a week or two, and since it’s … Continue reading
It didn’t happen to his Brokeback Mountain, and it didn’t happen to Paul Verhoeven’s Black Book, but now Lust, Caution, Ang Lee’s follow-up to his culturally significant homo opus has been tagged with the four characters that newspapers and Blockbuster love to use as excuse to pretend movies don’t exist: NC-17. It’s been a minute … Continue reading
We’ve been pretty tough on Rod Lurie lately. News of his Straw Dogs remake hasn’t done anything to endear the filmmaker to any of us here. The guy makes a comment about how he’s going to approach the film’s pivotal rape scene and he might as well be on the front page of US Weekly … Continue reading
Now that he’s moved on from giant shark pictures to landlocked action, Jan de Bont is casting some smart muscle. He’s just added Jason Isaacs to the cast of Stopping Power, the film in which John Cusack plays a father forced to cooperate with a kidnapper when an RV with his daughter onboard is hijacked … Continue reading
This slipped through the cracks yesterday, but news about the (possibly) upcoming adaptation of Irvine Welsh’s Trainspotting sequel Porno is, today at least, more an excuse for me to publicly express my extreme disappointment with Sunshine than anything else. We never ran a proper review (Comic Con sorta got in the way) but I’ve toyed … Continue reading
The full program lineup for the 2007 Toronto Film Festival has been released, and, as expected, it’s pretty wonderful. From high-profile obvious hits like No Country For Old Men and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (this is the Western’s year, I’m telling you now) to fun presentations like Ellyn Burstyn … Continue reading
I’ll keep this short, since Paul W. S. Anderson’s Death Race (nee Death Race 3000) is quickly becoming one of my most reviled movies of the year, and it’s not even shot yet. I know that’s bad. You know that’s bad. But how can I help myself? But look, when you take the very gorgeous … Continue reading
