THE SECOND TO THE LAST UNICORN

Unicorns rock. Whether they’re bouncing off rainbows, adorning black velvet paintings, the folders of fifth grade girls or the gaudy websites of way too many lonely, 38-year-old women, unicorns equal super-magical. So where have the movies been? I remember Legend having unicorns, I remember The Last Unicorn — shoot, even Anchorman took a bold crack … Continue reading

BIG MISTER SUNSHINE

Danny Boyle has always needed to make a sci-fi picture, if only because he uses Brian Eno’s sountrack to For All Mankind more thoughoughly than even that film’s director did. Watching the latest clip and trailer for Sunshine, Boyle’s apparently massive excursion into space, I’m more curious than ever to see what’s come of his … Continue reading

Fresh off their wins at the Academy Awards last night, Martin Scorsese and William Monahan have reteamed to jam on The Long Play – a movie that spans forty years of popular music history.

DEVIN DOES COMIC CON

Hayden Panettiere’s ass stops me dead in my tracks. I’m on the phone, standing outside the Special Events Hall at the New York Comic Con Saturday night and this vision in blue shimmies by, the globes of her butt cheeks rolling back and forth together as she walks through the corridor, flanked by red-shirted Comic … Continue reading

DON’T DO CRACK

There’s always a rusty, necessarily tetanus edge to tales of hardcore drug abuse and Life is Hot in Cracktown is no exception. If you’ve read the book, you know its first few sentences clearly mark the territory:“Life is hot in Cracktown. The flaming sidewalk burns your feet. Steams the air, cooks the base. Blood and … Continue reading

COUNTDOWN TO HATRED: BEST PICTURE

We’re less than a week away from the 79th annual Academy Awards, the awards ceremony most likely to make me get angrier and angrier over the course of four hours.
