We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

DAILY GRABOID 2.14.06

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

TRAILER: BEHIND THE MASK

Though it’s getting a little overused, the "faux documentary" can be a good way for filmmakers to circumvent budgetary limitations and provide an interesting narrative device (see Interview with the Assassin or Incident at Loch Ness for examples). The new indie Behind the Mask (not to be confused with the unnecessary Hannibal Lecter prequel) has taken … Continue reading

RAMBO SHOOTS RAMBO

Veteran war-beast John J. Rambo hasn’t snapped a bone or sliced a throat since he helped the Mujahedeen kick those pesky Soviet invaders out of the Middle East back in 1988, but now there are some new folks who need to get the shit killed out of them by everyone’s favorite almost-stable ex-Green Beret. Yes, … Continue reading

LOGAN’S WORD PROCESSOR

Bryan Singer showed up at WonderCon this weekend to start the selling of his upcoming Superman Returns, and he took the opportunity to tease us about his remake of Logan’s Run, which got bumped when he accepted the Superman gig. "We’re finishing the script," Singer told Sci-Fi Wire. "And … I’m going back to a … Continue reading

AMERICA WATCH

This week Fox Searchlight FINALLY opens Night Watch in America. It was supposed to open last year, and they showed it to us at the Tribeca Film Festival last April. I don’t know what happened, but the film seemed to get lost in the shuffle. You’ve probably heard a lot about the movie, since the … Continue reading

BROKEBACK BASEBALL

Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons said something interesting to me last week when he was visiting New York City: “Playing gay is the new playing crippled,” when it comes to awards. I think that Garth might well be right, but does that mean a remake of Bowfinger would have Kit looking to play Buck the … Continue reading

X3: THE FEAR PERSISTS

For a while there, it seemed like X3 (which apparently now has the asinine subtitle The Last Stand which, like X2‘s marketing addendum X-Men United, I am refusing to acknowledge) would be nothing but an unmitigated disaster. But the early teaser trailer assuaged some of that worry — it actually looked like it could be a … Continue reading

I LOVE JESSICA BIEL

Ravishing beauty Jessica Biel and her sinewy sublimity were enough (well, almost) to rescue Blade Trinity and Stealth from the realm of the unwatchable — someone needs to give that gal the lead in an action flick pronto, because she’s better built for it than pretty much any femme fatale ever. But alas, this movie unfortunately … Continue reading
