I, LEGEND

FYI: if (or when, depending on your degree of cynicism) there’s a global catastrophe, only actors, roaches and horrible hemoglobin-sucking mutants will survive. Will Smith will star in the adaptation of the fantastic Richard Matheson vampire story I Am Legend.  The influential tale follows Neville, the last living man in a postapocalyptic New York (apparently … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 4.26.06

What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards.

AVP2 BROUHAHA POSTMORTEM

Ain’t it Cool recently ran a script review of AVP2, one that was taken off the web due to legal issues. As a result, we had to remove the thread discussing it because of legal issues as well as the hijacking of some of our message board logins and IP addresses. Last thing I want … Continue reading

The already distended cast of Ocean’s 13 has become swollen by one more: actor-turned-overactor Al Pacino has joined the questionably necessary threequel (of a remake).

THOUGHTS ON UNITED 93

This is not a review of the film United 93. If you want my opinion of the movie I’ll tell you that, yes, it’s a very good, perhaps great film. However, I have been interviewing director Paul Greengrass since this film first began, and between that and the extensive coverage I have been doing on … Continue reading

EXCLUSIVE: UNITED 93 SET VISIT

I have flown in and out of Newark International Airport many times, and I’m familiar with the sights from the monorail as you head into the heart of the airport – the Budweiser sign, the fleet of Hooters Air planes (yes, they’re real).
