ZACH BRAFF OPENS HIS HEART

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

DAILY GRABOID 3.2.06

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. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading

THE SPICY CENTER OF THE ACTION

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). But best of all, offsetting the prevailing white-trash aesthetic of Jason Lee and show-bro Ethan Suplee is not one … Continue reading

THE CUTEST DISASTER MOVIE EVER

One of the big problems with most films about traumatic and lethal disasters is that they just don’t have a cuddle factor. They’re often bummers, and have a dearth of cute animals.

I’VE GOT A SINKING FEELING

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

CREATE A SLITHER AD FOR CASH!

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
