We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

PITT AND NORTON LIKE TO PLAY WITH EACH OTHER

The following is excessively juvenile even by my standards. Whether you took David Fincher’s Fight Club as satire or generational rallying cry (FYI, there’s only one correct reading, and if you’ve at any point slugged it out with your bare-chested buds in a suburban basement to… feel… something, you read poorly), there’s no denying that … Continue reading

ACTORS SCAPEGOATED FOR DESTRUCTION OF POMPEII

You could choose to believe that the forthcoming strike by the Screen Actors Guild is responsible for Roman Polanski backing out of the $100 million Pompeii, but that would require buying producer Robert Benmussa’s excuse that he just now discovered the June 30, 2008 work stoppage might prove problematic for the production’s August 2008 start … Continue reading

BURNING DOIN’ THE NEW-TRON DANCE

It was just a week ago that original Tron director Steven Lisberger returned from oblivion to helm a new futuristic sci-fi film called Soul Code about people downloading memories into other bodies.

While I loved Hudson in Dreamgirls (and, by the way, loved Dreamgirls in … Continue reading

ICH BIN EIN WATCHMEN CHARACTER

Shooting on Zack Snyder’s adaptation of Watchmen has quietly gotten under way in Vancouver, and a Watchmen fan site, Watchmencomicmovie.com, has scored some pics from the production. The photos were taken at Nat Bailey Stadium last week, where Snyder was filming a scene where Dr. Manhattan meets John F Kennedy. Visible in the pictures is … Continue reading

HEY, IT WORKED FOR ALIEN VS. PREDATOR 2, RIGHT?

Despite Sylvester Stallone’s surprisingly successful Rocky Balboa, it’s still a little too early to say he’s on a comeback. And part of problem, at least for me, is the Millennium Films-funded, almost buzz-less John Rambo, which just seems like a creaky throwback when placed next to the big-budget action extravaganzas and smaller-scale insane action movies … Continue reading
