When Ben Stiller and Jim Carrey get into a mug-a-thon, will anyone survive? We will find out as it looks like the two will be co-starring in Used Men, a futuristic comedy directed by Meet the Director Jay Roach. Here’s the concept – it’s the future. Men are extinct and women rule the world. Carrey … Continue reading
Somebody slow Terence Malick down! He’s just finishing up post on his last film, The New World, and he’s already getting ready for his next one! Don’t you want to take a decade there, buddy? The new movie will be called The Tree of Life, and as of now it looks like Terry liked his … Continue reading
Roadhouse 2: Last Call is, apparently, really happening. It feels like a fever dream, but you have to remember that I live in a town where there’s an off-Broadway Roadhouse: The Musical. Anything can happen, people. Somehow it seems that Roadhouse 2 can’t secure Patrick Swayze, who seemed poised to return to the screen after … Continue reading
In a time when the supposedly liberal media just rolls over and accepts everything that the current administration tells them, it’s almost impossible to imagine someone with the balls of Edward R Murrow going on the air and specifically denouncing the witch hunt tactics of Senator Joe McCarthy. It’s an amazing story, and now it’s … Continue reading
Don’t tell me you didn’t notice that Joe Pesci has been gone from movie screens since 1998’s Lethal Weapon 4. And hey, being in that movie would have sent me into hiding as well. But it looked like he was done with acting, especially after all those bribes to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts … Continue reading

Terence Malick makes movies on his own schedule. It took decades for him to get from Days of Heaven to The Thin Red Line. So when his next film, The New World, is slow to the finish line, you just change the release date and be glad that you’re going from the end of 2005 … Continue reading
Listen. Hear that? It’s the sound of X3 falling right over the cliff of too many characters. We’ve joked about it in the past, but now the film seems to be reaching some sort of singularity, and any X-character mentioned near the film’s producers or Bret Ratner will somehow be sucked into the proceedings. The … Continue reading
I just finished watching the DVD box set of Undeclared, the show that Judd Apatow did after Freaks and Geeks that got cancelled just as ignominiously. It’s great stuff – not as good as Freaks, but still classic. Apatow can dance on the edge of bathos but always brings it back with well timed and … Continue reading
I’m going to step up to the plate here and admit that I am confused. I really thought that Super Ex, the next film from Ivan “let’s pretend Evolution didn’t happen” Reitman about a guy who discovers his girlfriend is a super hero, starred Luke Wilson. IMDB, not the most accurate place ever, says that … Continue reading
