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

GOT GAME?

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

WIN TAKESHI KITANO!

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

ONE-SHEET BONANZA!

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

DELLAMORTE DOES B.O. – 8/24/07

Superbad keeps performing, so it looks to be a $100 million picture. Not so bad, eh? The problem with this is going to be the people who will run jokes into the ground. Don’t be McLovin’ it too much, all right? Save it for the stage, Romeo. THE LOSERS OF SUMMER Picking the ugliest mutts … Continue reading

GANG UP ON THIS NEW TRAILER

Jesus, we’ve been awash in some great trailers this week. Add another to the pile. The new American Gangster international trailer is online, and it…is…fuckin’ epic. Between the ace intro use of Bobby Womack’s “Across 110th Street” (Um….Jackie Brown, anybody?) to the operatic music and pacing of the latter half, this baby bangs. CLICK HERE … Continue reading

NO TRAILER FOR WEAK HEARTS

We’ve read the reviews for No Country for Old Men. We’ve seen some footage. We knew the Coens were making a comeback this year. But did you think they were gonna be this vicious about it? This just released red band trailer for No Country for Old Men is a thing of relentless beauty. There’s … Continue reading

WAKE ME WHEN THEY GREENLIGHT FALCON CREST

I’m confused. Variety‘s Michael Fleming writes in his article breaking the news of Betty Thomas as the new Dallas helmer that "this time they’re drilling for laughs". Pardon my ignorance, but weren’t they "drilling for laughs" when Robert Luketic was signed to direct? And was I napping or just not giving a shit when Bend … Continue reading

STEPHEN SOMMERS DID NOT BLOW JOE

I‘ll go ahead and agree with Nick that the Stephen Sommers of Deep Rising would be just the guy to deliver a fun G.I. Joe movie. And if he wants $10 million to do it even though his last two pictures (The Mummy Returns and Van Helsing) were exercises in eardrum abuse, you might as … Continue reading
