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 (from relatively mainstream films). So read the … Continue reading
Given the progressively creaky state of the Bond franchise, it’s no surprise that studios are trying to inject life into the spy genre with the likes of the recently resurrected The Man from U.N.C.L.E. and the XXX “franchise” (which sadly seems to have come to an end with the brilliantly awful XXX: State of the … Continue reading
An interesting discussion broke out on our message boards recently, in regards to the new 50 Cent movie Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and Hustle & Flow. Some people found the glamorization of the criminal element in these films to be disgusting and offensive. I wonder if these people feel the same way about Goodfellas … Continue reading
Let’s make this short and sweet. You know what I like about the poster for David Cronenberg’s new film, A History of Violence? It’s how there’s a normal movie poster in there – Viggo and Maria Bello big as life, against a stormy sky. Maybe if this was a normal movie they would be hovering … Continue reading
The devil is returning once more in the form of precocious preteen, and this time he’ll be the (sorta) offspring of Liev Schreiber and Julia Stiles in the remake The Omen 666.

Remember all the sniggering jokes about how Michael Bay’s The Island is just a rip-off of schlock scifi classic Parts: The Clonus Horror? The producers of Clonus weren’t laughing. Now they’re suing Warner Bros/Dreamworks and asking that the film be pulled from theaters and barred from future release. Which, looking at the box office, was … Continue reading
Paul Rudd has joined the cast of Diggers, a film written by former The State guy Ken Marino (oh how they’ve dispersed out there!), who also stars. Diggers is about two generations of clam diggers trying to keep their way of life as the Hamptons undergoes major changes in the 1970s. I assume we’re talking … Continue reading
Nic Cage finally got his comic book movie out of his system with Ghost Rider, but he’s moving right into another flick that sounds sorta like a superhero. Cage is starring in Neil LaBute’s currently shooting remake of The Wicker Man, an update of the truly bizarre 70s film that followed a policeman searching for … Continue reading

So if you’re making a fantasy film and you know that Terry Gilliam is interested (see the recent interview with Coming Soon here to read him talking about this), what would you do? Why, hire the guy who did Shopgirl. That’s not to say anything bad about Anand Tucker, whose Steve Martin comedy I haven’t even … Continue reading
