The story focuses on the World War 2 crusier, the U.S.S. Indianapolis. The crusier was sunk by the Japanese after a top secret mission to … Continue reading
Lost is one of those shows that frustrates you so much, you still continue to come back every week just to see if something new is revealed. Usually, your questions go unanswered. But that still doesn’t stop it from being one of the most highly rated shows on television today. I know I’m guilty of … Continue reading
As some of you are aware [not many, as I’ve kept this on the sly], in addition to Meg and 11 Colonels ATTACK! I have other projects in the works, some as a producer and others as a writer. In October and November, we shot the movie Grizzly Park in the mountains of Virginia, a … Continue reading
I’m a bad reporter. When I was at a roundtable interview with George Clooney this weekend, he casually dropped that he and partner Grant Heslov had bought “that Grisham book.” I assumed this was something that had been announced that I had just missed, so I didn’t lob a follow-up.

I spent some time drinking and gambling with Narc and Smokin’ Aces director Joe Carnahan in Lake Tahoe about a month back and I learned some things about the guy: he’s got great taste in movies, he’s funny as hell, he gets infectiously excited about his films, and he doesn’t pull his punches. This guy … Continue reading
Polish movie posters are the best thing since the Earth was built by aliens and left cooking in the sun long enough so people thought they were civilized and followed the rules of a God. Let’s just say this… if there is a God, chances are good that he made his daily wage designing polish … Continue reading
I’m calling it right now. Patrick Dempsey is going to be a huge movie star. Give it a few years, and he’ll be the one studios go to when they want to make a romantic comedy. Seriously. Note from Nick: Mobsters.McDreamy just signed a pay-or-play deal to star in Columbia Pictures’ Made Of Honor. The … Continue reading
