There are few movies as completely perfect as Groundhog Day. I remember seeing the film in theaters and being blown away by how dark it got and how that darkness made the ending not just palatable but flat out deserved – this is a lesson more movies could learn. And over the years it’s been … Continue reading →
There are some things we’re not meant to know, like what your mother’s O face looks like. But that doesn’t stop people from probing the depths of forbidden knowledge, even when no good can be gained from it. One of the things we should never know is what Bill Murray whispers to Scarlett Johanssen at … Continue reading →
Before you read too much into the Hollywood Foreign Press expanding their Best Picture (Drama) nominees from five to seven and still finding a way to snub the phenomenally deserving Into the Wild, it’s important to remember that the Golden Globes have always been about rewarding influence, not quality.

Though the premise – a … Continue reading →

There’s one thing wrong with this poster for Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay. It doesn’t have Rob Corddry anywhere in sight. I just now managed to get up enough testosterone (pilfered from the high school sports clinic around the corner) to watch the red band trailer Jeremy wrote about recently, and Corddry was … Continue reading →
Yesterday we saw the first five minutes of AVP-R (which someone tells me is actually a condensed version of the first ten minutes of the movie. Sneaky, Fox!), and today we have the opening credits of Sweeney Todd, Tim Burton’s adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim show about a murderous barber whose victims become meat pies … Continue reading →
A couple weeks back we got to witness a rare display of animal behavior. The Happy Madison film Strange Wilderness snuck up on Nick in leonine stealth mode then tore out his throat with the comedic promise of Kevin Heffernan, Jonah Hill, Steve Zahn, Jeff Garlin, Justin Long and a goddamn holy trinity of amazing: … Continue reading →
