Movie News

We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

THE LABYRINTH CONTINUES TO ENSNARE

Pan’s Labyrinth makes us feel warm all over, that’s a fact. I believe Devin is seeing Guillermo del Toro’s flick this week and he’ll either be one of the initiated lovers of the movie or he’ll be the worst person in the world. Unless you already think he’s the worst thing in the world. Then … Continue reading

FINALLY! FEAST FOOTAGE!

As we get closer to the ultra-lame limited theatrical release of John Gulager’s Feast, a trailer has hit the web, and it’s gooey, gory and good. You probably remember that this is the film that was made on the last season of Project Greenlight and has been sitting on a shelf for a couple of … Continue reading

NO TRICKS, JUST TREATS

I never thought that I would stand for another Halloween DVD dip (what would this be, the Decalogue Dip?), but it turns out that sometimes unforeseen circumstances can lead to you buying a movie yet again and being happy about it. In this case it’s because of a truly historic find – “pretty much all … Continue reading

TEN COMMANDMENTS I LIKE ABOUT YOU

What if the guys from The State and Wet Hot American Summer took on the Ten Commandments? Wonder no more, as Staters David Wain (directing) and Ken Marino (writing, dipping his balls in it) have come up with their own, shorter version of The Decalogue – The Ten. It’s ten connected sketches, each about one … Continue reading

EDITING ROOM TALES

UPDATE! Kelly says that the quotes in the Hot Dog interview are old, from Cannes itself. Skip to the bottom to read what he has to say. If a new interview with Hot Dog Magazine is to be believed, there’s even more trouble in Southland. Richard Kelly’s sprawling sci-fi/action epic, Southland Tales, premiered at Cannes … Continue reading

LET’S TRANSFORM AGAIN

It’s no secret that Michael Bay’s Transformers is being seen by Paramount and friends as the opening salvo in the next big film franchise. So what’s next? No one’s making any sure plans until this film is released and the box office numbers come out (although judging by what I saw, what I have heard, … Continue reading

ONE LAST BEERFEST PIMP

Beerfest is the most fun I’ve had in a theater since your mom blew me during a showing of White Squall, but still people did not flock to the theaters as they ought to have. Maybe it’s because they’re lazy. Maybe it’s because they had to prepare for their own school season. Maybe it’s because … Continue reading

CHARLIZE THERON JOINS THE BLACK BLOC

You know that thing in cartoons where someone sees something unbelievable and they blink a couple of times and rub their eyes? That’s what I had to do when I read that not only was there going to be a movie made about the 1999 Seattle anti-WTO protests-turned-riots, but that Charlize Theron would star in … Continue reading

TRANSFORMERS SET VISIT PREVIEW

Downtown LA is under attack by illegal aliens. No, not the ones that do your lawn but giant robot ones who shapeshift into vehicles and really hate humans. At least the evil ones, known as Decepticons, do. Michael Bay’s live action Transformers movie was shooting this weekend on  Broadway and 9th, an area of LA … Continue reading
