Okay, wait what? Anton Yelchin has been cast in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek film as… Chekov? Let’s just get the nerdery out of the way here: Chekov (and his Davey Jones of the Monkees wig) didn’t join Star Trek until the show’s second season. Having him in a Star Trek film set prior to or … Continue reading →
It’s can’t be a good feeling to have an actress you admire (and have worked with before) up and opt out of a role you’ve written just for her. So I imagine all is not well with Kevin Smith today, considering that Rosario Dawson has stated that she will be too busy bathing in the … Continue reading →
The other day I got this email: A couple weeks ago it appeared silly and glaring that the chud dot com website is to the upcoming movie Superbad, what Fox is to the GOP. Couple weeks later these aspects have amplified. I don’t know what to say to that except that we really, really like … Continue reading →
Hey, it’s the first Tuesday of the month and that means it’s time for a brand new Love Train, that special installment of The Devin’s Advocate where I only drip positivity and sweetness. The idea here is that I am bringing a respite from the bile and hate that apparently clouds my every post (seriously, … Continue reading →

Jonathan, ie Danny Strong, hasn’t been burning up the Nielsens like How I Met Your Mother, but he did write a script that is being turned into a much-anticipated HBO TV movie.

IGN has learned that Cruise is considering a cameo in JJ Abrams’ upcoming Star Trek reboot/prequel/whatever as Captain Christopher Pike, the man in charge of the Enterprise before James T Kirk. IGN says that their scooper is trustworthy in … Continue reading →
Guess what ain’t a joke no more? It’s D-War, the perpetually-delayed, endlessly trailered monster flick out of Korea. Like Duke Nukem Forever and nude (and attractive) Olsen Twins, this flick has become a sort of internet urban legend. We never really thought it would be finished, much less released. And now it’s earned twenty freakin … Continue reading →
It’s just about time for another Resident Evil movie! I probably shouldn’t tell you how happy that makes me. Sony’s shambling, brain-hungry franchise heads into the high desert in just a couple weeks with Resident Evil: Extinction, which title doesn’t exactly fill me with hope. To help get you excited, Sony has created a little … Continue reading →
I was fine with The Kite Runner‘s poster conjuring up happy memories of Searching for Bobby Fischer; I am, however, disheartened by the Gump-ian sight of CG kites whisking about the frame in this boilerplate trailer for a movie I no longer want to see. This is the game. Though I will always give David … Continue reading →
