This weekend I had a chance to talk with Phil Hay, the writer of Aeon Flux, coming to DVD this month. The interview is an interesting one, I think, because we talked about what didn’t work with the film, and what happened to the movie between Karyn Kusama’s director’s cut and the final version that … Continue reading
The Simpsons has been so awful for the last few years that people have been calling the latest barely mediocre episodes a return to greatness.

I’m about as interested in a live-action Underdog movie as I am in being the owner of randomly imploding molars, but at least a decent actor will wring his hands as diminutive villain Simon Barsinister, whose name is probably the only entertaining aspect of the whole thing. Disney has pocketed Peter Dinklage for the pernicious part … Continue reading

But New Line got out the Sharpie and scratched that right the hell off the list. Si, hermanos y hermanas: they’re … Continue reading
