RYAN REYNOLDS IS ON CLOUD NINE

Here’s what I know after watching the trailer for the new Ryan Reynolds’ movie The Nines: It’s like The Number 23, but only thirty-nine percent as much. At no point is there a reference to a German girl being raped. So I’m going to have to subtract two stars up front… Hope Davis does creepy … Continue reading

THE SPIRIT IS IN THE MATERIAL WORLD

It certainly isn’t even close to being the most anticipated of the upcoming comic book movie adaptations, but Frank Miller’s The Spirit will be one of the more important ones when all is said and done, I think. Although flashier modern-day titles from X-Men to Blade have made lots of dough and spun off franchises, … Continue reading

TORT(URE) REFORM

These are dark days for America. We live in a time where “habeas corpus” has been thrown aside, and the government can now detain anyone, citizen or non-citizen, for any reason – or none at all – and that person can be held and interrogated with “enhanced techniques” indefinitely without any access to counsel or … Continue reading

BILLY BOB THORNTON IS A DICK

What with the raging success of the License to Wed uterus poster (and I think I’m serious about that; no one had that movie breaking $40 million), it looks like New Line has decided to turn Billy Bob Thornton into a cock. Or have they? I mean, what to do with the legs protruding from … Continue reading

COULD WE PUT THE NIGHT ON LAYAWAY?

The first, cut-for-Cannes preview we saw for James Gray’s crime flick, We Own the Night, seemed to be lifting heavily from the campaign for The Departed; the addition of the New York City skyline graphics in this final theatrical trailer clinches it. They might as well have dropped "Gimme Shelter" in there while they were … Continue reading

LOMBARDI’S SONG

Now that several years’ worth of bad press related to the very bad behavior of its athletes and coaches has reached a flashpoint with Michael Vick’s federal indictment on dogfighting charges, the NFL will turn once again to that paragon of professional virtue, Vince Lombardi, in order to clean up its inherently nasty image (I … Continue reading
