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

GUERILLA IN OUR MIDST

When I talked to Stephen Soderbergh two weeks ago, he mentioned that he and Benicio del Toro wouldn’t start filming their Che Guevera film, Guerilla, in earnest until next year, but that they would shoot some scenes in the UN this month. It seems that the UN building is doing some remodeling, and they wanted … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 1.25.06

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

SIR ANTHONY HOPKINS HATES DAVE DAVIS

Today I had a chance to interview Sir Anthony Hopkins about his new film, The World’s Fastest Indian, based on the true story of Kiwi motorbiker Burt Munro. At one point the conversation turned to why he got into acting and he revealed his deep hatred for Dave Davis: I became an actor because I … Continue reading

JESUS CHRIST ALMIGHTY

Steve Carrell, who unjustly won the Golden Globe for his work on the American version of The Office (while the show is funny, Carrell’s character has none of the charm of Ricky Gervais’, and just comes across as a sociopath due to Carrell’s deadpan performance, and not as a desperate loser), has warned America that … Continue reading

ENTER MRS. SANDMAN

Spider-Man 3 keeps steaming along, adding new characters to what is already a fairly complicated web. The latest actress to join up with Sam Raimi’s crew is Theresa Russell, who will be playing Sandman’s wife, a character I don’t even remember from the comics. Apparently the couple is being described as villainous, so expect Russell … Continue reading

RELOADING THE MAGNUM

With 80s nostalgia escalating (I can’t wait for pegged pants and that “tidal wave” high-hair to come back into style) and studios continually mining the recent garish past for material, the big-screen version of Magnum P.I. was inevitable. I suppose everything is inevitable, or it wouldn’t happen, but it’s too damn early in the day … Continue reading

SCREW SUNDANCE

My friend Brady Hall is a filmmaker in the Pacific Northwest. He has three low budget features under his belt so far – I’m not wild about his first two Troma-esque films Polterchrist and Jerkbeast, but his latest, June & July, is a really great little film. It’s about a brother and sister living in … Continue reading
