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

LOUIS CK GETS LUCKY WITH MARTIN LAWRENCE

Louis CK almost hit. He had a show on HBO, Lucky Louie, that was really growing, getting better every single episode*… until the network cancelled it unceremoniously. CK has been one of those guys working hard in comedy who should be better known and whose work should be better appreciated (fuck all y’all Pootie Tang … Continue reading

PLISSKIN ESCAPES TO NEW LINE

Earlier this week, Devin wrote about Gerard Butler stepping into the shoes of Snake Plisskin, to which the general reply was: OK, not the worst thing ever…who’s directing? We still don’t have a director for Ken Nolan’s script, but we do know that the film has landed at New Line. Several studios stuck hands out … Continue reading

THAT’S SO MAHHHHHH-IN

Remember when Martin Lawrence used to do edgy movies? Neither do I. I do, however, faintly recall Lawrence as an edgy comedian (and by edgy, I guess I mean unafraid of scatology and f-bombing). In the end, that’s his choice and I can’t slight a guy for getting soft in his old age. But I … Continue reading

WHEN GALADRIEL MET INDY

Indiana Jones IV (Indiana Jones and the City of the Gods? Really? – Nick) may or may not feature Shia LaBeouf (depending on which day of the week you speak to him) but it will definitely star none other than Cate Blanchett. Finally, there’s some news about this film that makes me not completely fear … Continue reading

ELEMENTARY, MY NEIL MARSHALL

Sherlock Holmes has a distinction among fictional characters – he has been in more films and TV programs than any other, including Britney Spears. Now he’s about to get another IMDB entry as director Neil Marshall (the guy who made the hated-by-Nick The Descent) is taking a crack at him for Warner Bros. But this … Continue reading

THE GIVER GETS GIVEN

Since its publication in 1993, the book The Giver has garnered heaping shovels full of praise, despite a crappy cover. The futuristic utopian tale even garnered a Newberry Medal, which blurs the fact quite a few adults have hopped aboard its fanwagon thanks to big words like "utopia".Sadly, I missed the fanwagon when I picked … Continue reading

SUPERMAN IS ON CRACK

Life has been hard for Brandon Routh since Superman Returns. Or maybe it’s normal – much as was his situation before donning the cape and tights, Routh has been pretty much not working. As in he has nothing on his IMDB, and I don’t think we’ve heard all that many rumors about him being attached … Continue reading

HERE COMES THE FUZZ!

I doubt I have to sell you on the Hot Fuzztival, which has Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost traveling the United States showing cop movies and Hot Fuzz, their amazing follow-up to Shaun of the Dead, with Q&As afterwards. And that’s before you factor in that these screenings all take place before the … Continue reading
