I’ve rhapsodized at length about the virtues of Dr. Uwe Boll* and he never lets me down on one particular trait: Tenacity. Fresh from corralling a crew featuring other Teutonic wonders Ralf Moeller and Til Schweiger on Farcry, the good doctor has acquired the rights to yet another video game. This time out, however, he … Continue reading →
A few weeks ago on my way out of a matinee of Superbad (Seriously, I do not get the hype for this film. Spots of funny, but it aint a gamechanger.), my wife and I were approached by some marketing research peeps to watch some “previews of upcoming films” and share our Joe-average opinions. While … Continue reading →
The idea of Al Pacino playing surrealist legend Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí y Domènech makes sense, though I don’t know if the artist ever hulked around intensely in between explosive bursts of dialogue. I love Al to death but sometimes it seems like instead of traditional casting sessions the producers just rolled for wandering … Continue reading →
My rule of thumb with graphic novels is that damn near everyone short of my mother has to recommend a specific title before I start buying up back issues. This way, I get to experience grand stuff like Sandman and Hellboy while avoiding a heap of crap I would absolutely waste my time reading if … Continue reading →

The question is: How does the hero of this film, an undercover New York policeman, … Continue reading →
Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four | Day FiveDay Six | Day Seven | Day Eight I realized something today. I know that I’ve just walked into a really French film when (a) I’m the only one with a smart phone or ipod in the room and (b) the median … Continue reading →
How can a poster so well represent the movie it’s for and yet suck so badly? Oh, right…that would mean the movie’s a mess, too. I didn’t want to believe it given the oddly interesting and diverse cast paired with Richard Kelly at the helm, but the word on this flick has been nothing short … Continue reading →
George A. Romero’s Diary of the Dead (Fetal Page) has found a home at the Weinstein Company with theatrical distribution in the mix but based on the numbers of the deal [up to around two and a half million greenbacks] I can’t imagine the film being unleashed on 2,500 screens with a massive push. It … Continue reading →
