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

ZION, HEAR ME! WE GOT IT WRONG!

Oh snap! Last week we reported to you a trusted scooper had told us that Laurence Fishburne would be doing the voice of Galactus in Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. It turns out that our scooper was half right – Fishburne is doing a voice in the film… but it’s Silver Surfer. This … Continue reading

THE DELLAMORTE FAQ

So who are you and why are you doing this? Well, my name is Andre Dellamorte, and I’m doing this cause Nick and Devin asked me to. So what makes you think you’re some kind of expert on guessin’ how movies are going to open? Honestly, I don’t think I am. Predicting a film’s box … Continue reading

YOU MIGHT WANNA DIP YOUR BALLS IN THIS

There’s many things that I can tell you about the upcoming ping-pong comedy Balls of Fury. I can emphasize that Christopher Walken will be hamming it up in a kimono and ridiculous hair.

From scratch. Thanks for trying, Mark “Herbie: Fully Loaded” Perez.What … Continue reading

PARDON ME BOY, IS THAT THE TERROR TRAIN?

Unlike Prom Night, which I eviscerated a couple of weeks ago out of nothin’ but meanness, I actually have a few nice things to say about Terror Train: it was shot by the legendary John Alcott (cinematographer of such smallish movies as A Clockwork Orange, Barry Lyndon and The Shining); it co-stars Hart Bochner ("Ellis, … Continue reading
