Ethan Hawke’s one of those guys who seems to have little trouble moving back and forth between big time studio pics and indies without compromising himself much for either. His low-key, laidback style makes him a pliable presence that works for a lot of material, especially ensemble films. Although he has a number of them … Continue reading
It’s the latest art from Spider-Man 3, courtesy of Coming Soon. The image shows how Spider-Man got his goo back – well, probably not how it happens in the movie, since it seems that the symbiotic black suit is introduced via a meteor.This is just part of the next wave of Spidey 3 footage.

Most of them were about casting – a very reliable source told me that some of the biggest names in Hollywood were in talks to star in the film.

Rob Zombie’s Halloween remake has left the horror community very traumatized, but perhaps healing can come in the form of Werewolf Women of the SS, his fake trailer for Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez’ Grindhouse. Obviously inspired by the CHUD Essential Ilsa: She-Wolf of the SS, Zombie’s trailer stars his wife Sherri Moon-Zombie, Tom Towles … Continue reading
I missed the Asian Horror Movie train completely. I didn’t buy a ticket. I didn’t show up at the station. I didn’t even check the schedule. I can understand why the more cerebral thrills of these movies stood out amidst the lackadaisical traditional teen horror flicks coming from the US several years back. But surely, … Continue reading

One of my favorite current comic book series is Y: The Last Man, which is currently nearing the end of its run. The book, written by new Lost scribe Brian K Vaughan, takes place after a mysterious plague kills every single male of any species on Earth… except for goofy amateur magician Yorick Brown and … Continue reading
