I hated The Village and considered Lady in the Water 2005’s best comedy, and yet I’m still interested in M. Night Shyamalan’s latest, The Happening (fka The Green Effect), if only because it’ll be his first R-rated feature. Maybe he’s been restrained by his need to be all things to too many people. It’s feasible. … Continue reading →
I have found Film Ick to be one of the less reliable sources on the internet – they report just about any information they get, so be suitably wary of the following information (although much of it is based on old news and solid conjecture): The blog is reporting that Neil Gaiman will start shooting … Continue reading →
Josh Phillips is a firecracker, and not in the fiery redheaded redneck whore manner. Well, he is a redheaded redneck whore, but he’s just the kind of wild card a movie like 11 Colonels ATTACK! needs. As Compost Larry, he’s a mixture of human oddity, sideshow freak, ripped and sexy nutcase, and somewhat inspiring folk … Continue reading →
When I spoke to Once’s star Glen Hansard and director John Carney, I didn’t bring up the Oscar issue. I mean, the movie had enough of an uphill battle in just being seen this summer – a tiny Irish folkish indie up against a season packed with threepeats and other juggernauts? I also wasn’t clear … Continue reading →
The Entity is one of the greatest movies ever made, and I’m not brooking any lip in response. If you think it isn’t the greatest movie ever made, I ask you this: How many other movies feature not only Barbara Hershey being graphically raped by an invisible ghost, but also let you see the effects … Continue reading →
Supreme Cartoon Overlord Jeffrey Katzenberg has looked down at the suffering caused on your Planet Earth by his unstoppable Shrek machine and he has taken pity upon you. The Supreme Cartoon Overlord has announced he will only inflict two more Shrek devastations upon you all. Briefly making himself corporeal and taking his attention away from … Continue reading →
Coming Soon has the scoop on who may be the next Terminator as that series chugs onward like that version of Lynyrd Skynyrd after everyone in the band died in a plane crash. According to the site, Swedish underwear model Marcus Schenkenberg has scored a role in Terminator 4, and word is that he’s the … Continue reading →
This week will see the next series of mini-featurettes about Grizzly Park, my maiden voyage into producing a feature. Directed by the enigmatic Tom Skull [I don’t know his legal name], it’s a nice cocktail of horror and comedy that we’ll hopefully be seeing in theaters later this year. Here’s the ninth video, Julie Skon … Continue reading →
What could possibly be the point of a Last House on the Left remake? The brand name only means something to those who’ve seen it, and those who’ve seen it will have little interest in watching a watered-down studio version of a movie that was flawed in the first place (maybe you got more mileage … Continue reading →
We’ll have to wait to see what happens to Good Luck Chuck (directed by the editor of the magnificent Stone Cold), but it looks like Dane Cook’s career as a comedic lead will be limited to Lionsgate developed vehicles. This is why you don’t steal jokes, kids. A comedian with as much stage presence as … Continue reading →
