Movie News

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

DAVID SLADE GOES NEVERWHERE

With one movie finished (Hard Candy) and another on the way, David Slade is already a very sought-after director; I’ve talked to a couple of people in the last few weeks who have mentioned his name as being on short lists for upcoming films, including one comic book adaptation that I alternately dread and get … Continue reading

ONE DAY YOU WILL BUY THIS ON DVD

The Indiana Jones web videos continue, with the latest one being a complete fluff piece on ‘Reuniting the Family.’ We get a couple of shots of Indy and friends today, but most of the video is made up of clips of the original trilogy while people yak on the soundtrack saying how fun it is … Continue reading

EAT HOT BLAZING DINO DEATH!

Three long years ago, Moriarty at AICN ran a review of a script for Jurassic Park IV. The script’s credentials were impeccable – it was by William Monahan and John Sayles (!*) – but its contents were a little on the odd side. You see, this time out the story wouldn’t take a group of … Continue reading

UNCERTAINTY HOUNDS GORDON-LEVITT

In 2001, Scott McGehee and David Siegel went from being two audaciously talented indie filmmakers to a couple of above-average stylists. We know this to be fact because no one throws down for The Deep End anymore unless they’re closing out the easy-to-make case for Tilda Swinton as a great actress. As for Suture, it’s … Continue reading

THE DARK KNIGHT LOVES CHI-TOWN

We should have seen this coming. I mean, really. It’s just that Wizard World Chicago, once the biggest comic book convention after San Diego, doesn’t seem to matter so much anymore, even if it is technically still second in line. But with The Dark Knight doing a bunch of location shooting in Chicago, it makes … Continue reading

GI JOKE?

If you own or loved the issue to the right, then you are a soulmate of mine [and probably someone who appreciated the Deadpool homage]. If issues #26 and #27, which revealed the origins of Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow and their Hard and Soft Masters and whatnot, are pivotal comic book experiences for you… We … Continue reading
