POLICE CORRUPTION, WITH CANNOLI

As the site editor without a vowel at the end of my name, perhaps I’m not best suited to write about this announcement, but here it is anyway. Straight from the headlines of about a week ago comes a movie called Mafia Cop. For the love of Chins, I wish it was another sequel to … Continue reading

WEINSTEINS STILL HATE ASIANS

Time once again to warm up the region-free DVD player and check the pre-order page at your favorite import reseller — the Weinsteins are apparently still searching for their own Crouching Tiger-sized hit, and the process they’re using to discover it is to acquire domestic rights to every Asian film that crosses their field of vision. … Continue reading

THIS LIZARD AIN’T BROKE

Even though the Dukes of Hazzard movie was a considerably painful viewing experience (Jessica Simpson’s upstanding bosom and outstanding buttocks notwithstanding), it was apparently lucrative enough to provide director Jay Chandrasekhar with more opportunities. The Dukes’ solid box office performance secured a Warner Bros. deal for the de facto leader of comedy quintet Broken Lizard, … Continue reading

BUBBA NOSFERATU RISES

The second film in Don Coscarelli’s Bubba trilogy* is back from the dead, as supernatural forces seem to be coming together to make Bubba Nosferatu a reality.

Well, this is Hollywood, folks, so that’s all changed already! Aja will not … Continue reading
