I never thought I would see the day, but a movie poster has made me nauseous. I’ve been made sick to my stomach by a poster. Of course it’s for an Eli Roth movie. The film is Hostel: Part II, and it’s the international poster that premiered at IGN. You can see some of it … Continue reading
I just got an email with a “scoop” attached that is like the culmination of a great “Oh Don Piano” story. For those of you playing at home, an “Oh Don Piano”* story is where a celeb is at a junket and gets asked a bullshit, pointless question, like, “Would you do a sequel to … Continue reading
It’s round three of Joe Carnahan – director of Smokin’ Aces, which apparently knocked em fuckin’ dead at Butt Numb-A-Thon this past weekend – answering your quivering queries. We’ve got more installments ready to run, but we’re always looking for more questions. About ANYTHING! Anything at all. Ask Joe about his favorite food, what’s playing … Continue reading
Dimension Films recently picked up distribution rights to Storm Warning, the new film directed by Jamie Blanks, in North America, Austrialia, and New Zealand.

The symbiote which has, like, a dark energy, like the goo from the thing that creates Venom."To those less articulate than Mr. Maguire, he goes on to explain … Continue reading

Philip Marlowe, a character Chandler created, had been the star of many of the books and films we studied. I hated the character at first, but he eventually grew on me. He’s a fantastic … Continue reading
Sometimes I wish I was a woman. And not just because I would like to spend my days staring at my supple breasts in the mirror (I do that now anyway). I would like to be a woman so I could do something like give an award for “Best Depiction of Nudity or Sexuality” and … Continue reading
Kevin Smith made a lot of mistakes with Clerks II, but perhaps the most egregious was casting Jason Lee as a yuppie scumbag. The problem with that casting is that Lee’s face is now dominated by his awful My Name is Earl mustache, and putting a pink shirt on him will not change that fact. … Continue reading
Somehow I missed this over the weekend: there’s a poster for the new Pang Brothers movie, The Messengers, and if you have microscopic vision, you should be able to make out the name ‘Mark Wheaton’ on there as screenwriter. That name may not be very familiar to you, but perhaps you’ll better remember his nom … Continue reading
Things are looking up for The Simpsons Movie. The first teaser trailer, which featured Homer being smashed around by a wrecking ball (a gag from 1926 that holds up so well it feels more like it’s from 1933!), was, without a doubt, the worst teaser for a cinematic endeavor ever (unless that video of Screech … Continue reading
