There’s a pretty palpable Garden State backlash out there. To those people, I can only implore: “Please… please! Go fuck yourself.” It’s a really good movie, a very honest and nice movie, and a fantastic first effort. Maybe that’s why people hate it so much. Garden State turned me into a Zach Braff fan – … Continue reading
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.

My Name is Earl is that rarest of sitcom – it has a creative premise, it’s well-written and it’s genuinely funny, thanks mostly to the comic timing of its cast (astonishingly, it’s still on the air).

This press release just landed in my inbox and I couldn’t wait to share it with you. From Beyond is one of my favorite horror films of the 80s, and it’s been MIA on DVD for far too long. In fact, I don’t think I have seen From Beyond in years and years. Last summer … Continue reading
I am fairly certain that boats shouldn’t be sailing at that angle. Yes, it’s the teaser poster for Poseidon, the remake of the overturned boat film from the 70s, The Poseidon Adventure. You may remember that I visited the set of this film last year, where I received a sound thrashing from none other than … Continue reading

What could be better than spending 90 minutes with ludicrous amounts of horrifying gore and sticky alien slugs (and Elizabeth Banks)? How about helping pimp it and getting 25 large for your efforts? Yep, Universal is running a contest for the impending James Gunn slime-treat Slither, and if your promotional skills are up to snuff, … Continue reading
