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

BOYS DON’T RE-ENLIST

Paramount is courting controversy by being the studio that won the rights to Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce’s new film, Stop-Loss. The film began life as a documentary, where Peirce was looking into the stories of GIs who returned home from Iraq, only to be shipped back out again against their wills by the … Continue reading

RYAN REYNOLDS IS SCHOOLED IN UBIQUITY

I like Ryan Reynolds, but not because of his films. Looking back at his resume you see that the guy’s film choices have been less than inspired – Van Wilder is probably his only real hit. And like Amityville Horror, whatever money that made certainly didn’t come from his name. But I think that Hollywood … Continue reading

LEO BLINKS AND GETS A MOVIE

There’s no book too unlikely to become a movie, at least not if Leonardo DiCaprio is interested in it. Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink is apparently a very good book about snap judgement and quick decision making. The author uses different examples to explore many aspects, including the neurological, of this phenomenon. That’s right, it’s a non-fiction … Continue reading

JOAN ALLEN IS BOURNE AGAIN

The cast for the third – and supposedly final – Bourne film is coming together, as Joan Allen is in early talks to reprise her role as Pamela Landy. The third film, The Bourne Ultimatum, will begin shooting sometime next year. At that time you can look for my quote on every poster for the … Continue reading

ROBOCOP REDUX?

Just the other day I basically surrendered to the concept of remakes (The Wild Bunch finally broke me). I recognize the value of a brand, I’m honestly sick of bitching about them, and people are probably exhausted from reading all our complaints, for all the good it does anyway.  Well… I guess I can officially … Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 11.8.05

Every single day of the week, a new Graboid 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 as obscure as obscure gets.  So read the news, read the reviews, … Continue reading

PAUL FEIG GOES AFTER MINORS

I always get so happy whenever any news about a Freaks & Geeks alumnus hits, and I get even happier when it’s about Paul Feig. There’s a lot of back and forth on who is responsible for what on that classic and cancelled show, and I know that Judd Apatow brought a lot to the … Continue reading

ANAKIN’S POKER FACE

I remember Hayden Christensen recently implying he was considering retiring from the Hollywood machine. I suppose if I watched myself in the prequels I’d probably contemplate it too, but handing me a small paper rectangle with several digits printed on it would likely assuage my misgivings.  In fact, Christensen is reuniting with fellow ex-Jedi Sam … Continue reading
