Of course Ralph is starring in the next Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, as the evil Lord Voldemort, returned to full … Continue reading

HOSE-SLAPPED!

Wow. The nice folks over at Filmforce nabbed the exclusive on this super cool clip from the upcoming Transporter 2 a few days ago, but I just now saw the thing… and man oh man. I just had to share it. Let’s just say that Jason Statham could probably get a job with the FDNY … Continue reading

JUNE & JULY & YOU

I’ve known Brady Hall, the writer and director the very indie feature June & July, for a couple of years – almost completely through the Internet. When he sent me a rough cut of his film on DVD I can’t say I was expecting much – the guy’s previous movies had titles like Polterchrist and … Continue reading

AFFLECK IS A COWARD

Casey Affleck is going to kill Brad Pitt. Now that’s a career move. Casey, suddenly the most desireable Affleck, has been cast as Robert Ford, one of the two titular characters in the Western The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. Ford is well known as the guy who shot the famed … Continue reading

CARNAHAN LIGHTS UP

Action-comedy? From the guy that made the great Narc (a film that still holds up very well after three years)? Eh, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Apparently, writer/director Joe Carnahan has been set up to take the reigns on a film entitled Smokin’ Aces, "an ensemble action-comedy dealing with the disappearance of … Continue reading

When I was a kid August meant a couple of things – the "back to school" commercials started airing on TV, bumming me out, and all the good movies were already playing. This summer is no different. Except I’m not bummed out about the "back to school" commercials, and Dave Davis is made positively tumescent … Continue reading
