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

THE HALAL HAVE EYES

Ryan Rotten at Shock Til You Drop has gotten the big scoop on what Tobe Hooper’s next film will be – and it sounds like the guy might be making a movie worth seeing (which is quite the opposite from his utterly craptastic Masters of Horror episodes). The film is called Training Camp, and here’s … Continue reading

THE BORED OF SHANNARA

I have a confession to make. When I was like 11, I couldn’t get through The Lord of the Rings series of books and instead read Terry Brooks’ ‘Shannara’ series and felt the better for it. It’s Tolkien for people who don’t care what Frodo mixed with fatherberries on meal #19 of the day. Nothing … Continue reading

FIVE TORTUROUS NIGHTS AT THE MOVIES

The state of the world today is upsetting enough, so what’s the point in paying $10 to heighten one’s misery? What’s the upside in spending ninety minutes to watch a group of nubile ingénues get sliced up in gorily inventive ways when one need only listen to a few minutes of conservative talk radio to … Continue reading

I love running into all the fun people I have met on set visits or at junkets and having a chance to shoot … Continue reading

INDIE FILM CATCHES MCPHEEVER

After having lost American Idol, Clay Aiken style (I lost, but I’m loved!), Katherine McPhee is doing what any Southern California resident aspires to – acting. Of course, other less fortunate and less attractive Southern Californians have to work tables at The Peach Pit and struggle and sleep with unattractive people in their quest for … Continue reading

POQUITO LEAGUE

The first time I was introduced to Clifton Collins Jr. was through the abomination of Mindhunters, which is too bad. Man, that crap was terrible and man if I didn’t think Clifton was the worst of the lot. I’ve been reassured I can lay all that hate at the feet of Renny Harlin, because Clifton … Continue reading
