Do you remember The Shadow? No, not the old radio series. I’m talking about that 1994 movie where Alec Baldwin starred. Remember when he went to that abandoned lot at the end of the movie (you know, the one that no one had bothered to check yet), and he found that invisible building? Man, that’s … Continue reading
This is probably not a happy holiday season at Kyle Newman’s house. He was the guy who was directing the Revenge of the Nerds remake for two weeks before Fox Atomic pulled the plug on it.

It could bean adaptation of Tom Perrotta’s upcoming novel, The Abstinence Teacher. Perrotta wrote the book and screenplay for … Continue reading
The full trailer for 300 is upon us, and it still has that great Nine Inch Nails song on it. I think I’m going to end up disappointed when the film doesn’t have a Trent Reznor soundtrack. It’s repetitive but true – I love this stuff. Every bit of footage from this film has worked … Continue reading
