CURSE OF BABEL

Like a nice case of Montezuma’s revenge, Babel is striking back. Not content with an Oscar nomination for Best Motion Picture ("It’s great to be nominated!”, remember?), the film has been wreaking havoc on the intestinal fortitude of Japanese audiences since its April 28 release.Apparently, 15 people have complained about feeling sick as watching Babel … Continue reading

PRETTY JAILBAIT

When you’re lucky enough to call Eric Roberts "dad", that means a) you’ve got a direct access to some killer Mickey Rourke stories, b) every other movie shown on Cinemax between midnight and six a.m. will help put you through college and c) you aunt is America’s Erstwhile Sweetheart, Julia Roberts. The former two probably … Continue reading

GRIZZLY PARK VIDEO #3

This week will see a 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 third video, The Cast of … Continue reading

NINE MINUTES OF RATATOUILLE

Better late than never, my friends. Better late than never. Earlier today, Pixar released a nine minute clip for its upcoming film Ratatouille. It’s impressive. Not necessarily by the story element being put to play, but (it’s here I unveil my animation gasm) holy crap…the animation. Gorgeous. Detailed. Fluid. While it’s par for course to … Continue reading

CAPTIVE AUDIENCE

It makes sense that just as I was engaging in a mini-discussion of I Spit On Your Grave on our message board, the trailer would pop up for Elisha Cuthbert’s second porn movie, Captivity. Torture porn, that is. Her first being the trashy and embarrassing/entertaining House of Wax remake. And while I can argue that … Continue reading

FRANK MILLER’S RONIN, RONIN, RONIN

For all those offended by the terrible, terrible play on Limp Bizkit’s crapfest "Rollin’", I’m sorry. On to the story. Thanks to the success of a little spring movie called 300, Zack Snyder gets to make the Watchmen movie no one could get off the ground, WB is raking in gobs of cash and midget … Continue reading

ASHLEY JUDD BUGS

So you may have heard about Bug. You may even be anticipating its release later this month. [Note from Devin: You should be – it’s really good!] The one-sheet that’s been attached to the movie (see it now!) has been an icky "Something’s under that dudes skin and it spells BUG!" poster, obviously inspired by … Continue reading

PERABO DOES PARIS

Last week, we reported on an upcoming film that, judging by the message board responses we received, many of you can’t wait to see:  South of the Border. Oh, sorry! That’s Grizzly Park. South of the Border is the one no one gave two craps about. Unless you’ve suddenly developed an interest in movies about … Continue reading
