DAILY GRABOID 10.8.05

I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading

UMA’S A TALL DRINK OF HOT WATER

Buzz on The Producers has been somewhat mixed, though I have heard rumblings from some that it might have a chance come Oscar time. My opinion? I honestly don’t have one since all I’ve got to go on is the recent international trailer (which I thought was ten kinds of fun) and this new one … Continue reading

THE PROGNOSTICATOR – OCTOBER

Has it really been a month? Here in New York City it’s unseasonably warm, but soon enough the leaves will start changing and our thoughts will turn to ghosts and ghouls and tricks and treats. Which makes October an ideal month for plenty of horror films, like The Fog, Saw II and Two For the … Continue reading

The movie, an adaptation of Frank Miller’s graphic novel, stars Scotsman Gerard Butler as Spartan king Leonidas, who rallied his hardy troops against Xerxes and his … Continue reading

SERENITY NOW AND LATER

The DVD for Serenity will probably be hitting shelves at the end of December – the 20th to be precise (same date as the first half of Battlestar Galactica’s second season). That’s most likely not a comment on the film’s success by Universal, but it is at the short side of the already quick window … Continue reading

FAVREAU GETS HIS ASS TO MARS

If you showed me Swingers a few years ago and said “See that insecure guy who can’t get over his last girlfriend?  Some day he’ll direct a huge effects-driven franchise-starting sci-fi flick based on a classic series of novels,” I probably would’ve responded with something like, “Really?”  Well, perhaps with slightly more incredulity, but that … Continue reading

SCARY BIERKO

In a move coldly calculated to get CHUD.com’s own Kevin Matchstick to buy a ticket, Scary Movie 4 will now feature none other than Craig Bierko. The film, which is being made for the brand new Weinstein Co. (I guess that’s the name they’re sticking with?), has already begun filming under the direction of David … Continue reading
