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

SUPERMAN NOT QUITE RETURNING JUST YET

This could be bad news for fans of overpriced, undercooked superhero franchises, but good news for people who prefer to see filmmakers attempt to fulfill their early promise: Bryan Singer is going to be making his next movie at the newly reborn United Artists (that place dies and comes back more than Jean Grey), and … Continue reading

PIRANHAJAH

Monster/man-eating animal movies will usually plant my butt in a seat without question. Except Sci-Fi monster/large animal movies – those are terrible. Still, the late 70s, in the frenzied attempt to piggy-back the Jaws phenomenon, rolled out some choice and campy selections with Tentacles, Orca, Empire of the Ants and of course, Piranha.Roughly thirty years … Continue reading

CLICK HERE FOR PIRATES

I do a lot of my work from a cafe in the afternoons, and for the past couple of days I’ve sat near a group of high school kids having the old ‘Pirates vs Ninjas’ conversation. After cutting them some slack for being about five years behind the curve, I realized that there’s this burgeoning … Continue reading

BUNNY AIN’T MISSING. SHE MAY BE DEAD.

So the rumors have been flying about Reese Witherspoon opting out of the next Joe Carnahan film, a remake of the 1965 missing child/"but was she even real?" film Bunny Lake is Missing. Some sources said the split came by way of an uncompleted script. Others said it was simply fallout from her recent divorce. … Continue reading

SUFFERING FROM SEQUEL-ITIS

For an actor, there’s nothing that makes the bank account happy like discovering that your character isn’t as dead as previously thought. Take Rider Strong, who most of us assumed to be dead by the end of Cabin Fever. Apparently his death was exaggerated, because he’s going to be very much alive, and dealing with … Continue reading

POSTER WEST

ShoWest, the annual theater exhibition expo, is in full swing in swingin’ Vegas and I’m wondering why I didn’t stop by on my way back from California to crash the party. As a consolation prize, I did get a great picture of the recently hyped road Zzyzx going 85 M.P.H. on Northbound I-15. But so … Continue reading

L’IL RAYS OF SUNSHINE

Usually being American has its cinematic perks. Sure you’re hated all over the world, but the world can kiss some chunky American ass when it comes to seeing movies first. Except in the case of Danny Boyle’s Sunshine, where Americans can line up to get kicked square in the two-tone Underoos like most of our … Continue reading

THE NEXT RACE IS HERE

When I was at New York Comic Con, I saw posters for a new movie, The Next Race: The Remote Viewings. I had no idea what that could be, but I was struck by a line on the poster: The First Chapter in the Creation Wars Saga Begins. That, I thought, was ballsy. I ran … Continue reading

MARCH OF THE FOX

After March of the Penguins won an Oscar and became a license to print money, I half expected director Luc Jacquet to announce he’d always wanted to make a massive Hollywood animal movie, like a big-budget remake of The Hellstrom Chronicle. That was obviously just wishful thinking on my part. Instead, Jacquet has run off … Continue reading
