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

DIE HARD 4 GETS LONG

Die Hard 4 (now known as Die Hard: Reset, but probably should be known as Die Hard: CTRL ALT DEL), the superfluous resurrection of the long-dormant series, is adding one of tomorrow’s most manly action stars to the cast: Justin Long will be joining Bruce Willis as they attempt to stop terrorists from destroying the … Continue reading

WORLD OF WEREWOLVES

Who do I have to put a silver bullet in to get a decent werewolf movie? It seems like for every moderate success in the subgenre like Dog Soldiers or Ginger Snaps, there’s a Cursed or an Underworld or a dozen direct-to-video disasters that just don’t have the budget to properly depict raging lycanthropes. The … Continue reading

MOVIESTER

The internet has changed the way people make friends, get information and even get laid. Could it be changing the way movies are made as well? I’m not fully sold, but here’s an intriguing idea: MySpace meets Louis B Mayer. It’s a site called LiveMansion.com, a social networking site (like MySpace and Friendster) that is … Continue reading

JESSICA BIEL IS EXTREMELY HOT

Oh, Jessica. Jessica, Jessica, Jessica. I love you as much as I’m allowed (judge says it has to be from at least 500 feet away), but I have to question the thought process when it comes to selecting projects. An Adam Sandler movie? You’re so much better than that. Just look at you. I mean, … Continue reading

TRAILER: TIDELAND

The streak of Terry Gilliam’s notoriously rotten luck is momentarily ending – his latest pseudo-fantasy Tideland has gone virtually unloved since least year’s Toronto Film Fest (though I would argue that any Gilliam movie is fascinating on some level), but is now finally making it to screens. The story follows a young girl (future hottie … Continue reading

30 DAYS OF BABE

After making a particularly dreadful real estate purchase in the Amityville Horror remake, toothy beauty Melissa George has been getting herself into some extremely bad situations. She’ll play a tourist on a vacation gone awry in Fox Atomic’s upcoming thriller Turistas, and now she’ll be battling bloodsuckers for an entire month. The Australian delicacy and … Continue reading

APE SHALL NOT KILL APE

Watching the violence escalate in the Middle East, as Israel advances further into Lebanon and Hezbollah missiles strike farther past the border and Hamas continues to agitate, my mind turns to the same thing all of America is thinking about – Battle for the Planet of the Apes. The fifth film in the groundbreaking series … Continue reading

DEARLY DEPARTED

I’m not a very big fan of Infernal Affairs. Shoot me. Please don’t. To me it was an above average flick that was made beloved more for the fact that it was as polished as a Hollywood picture but it wasn’t made in Hollywood than because it’s some latter day Lethal Weapon. It was smart, … Continue reading

POLANSKI RUSHES TO RATNER

Last week I sat down in Vegas with Brett Ratner as he was doing a cameo on X3 writer Zak Penn’s new improv poker comedy, The Grand. I ended up talking with Ratner for well over an hour, and the conversation is funny, fascinating and revealing. You have to talk to a guy for a … Continue reading
