Time was, when John Cusack announced that he was doing a movie with Jan de Bont, our reaction would have been predictable. RomCom hero joins high-budget hack! Will Womb Raider unite the sexes in box office bliss? Alas, those days are gone, and friendly (read: business) overtures have whittled the spears with which we once … Continue reading
It makes sense that just as I was engaging in a mini-discussion of I Spit On Your Grave on our message board, the trailer would pop up for Elisha Cuthbert’s second porn movie, Captivity. Torture porn, that is. Her first being the trashy and embarrassing/entertaining House of Wax remake. And while I can argue that … Continue reading

(He played David in Shaun of the Dead, you forgetful stoners.) And before you complain that there’s no HD version of the trailer, might want to watch it first…those are … Continue reading
See what I get for not checking daily on Joanna Cassidy’s website? A number of sites (1, 2) are reporting on Blade Runner reshoots, based on a post at said location. Specifically: Joanna has just finished re-shooting her scenes from the original BLADE RUNNER movie. Joanna is wearing her original outfit (which she kept over … Continue reading
Context makes all the difference in the world.
