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

STILL DEAD AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

We are just a week away from one of the most exciting movies of 2005 – George A Romero’s Land of the Dead. I envy the winners of our Pittsburgh premiere contest, who will be seeing the movie in the home of all cinematic zombies. But hey, we’re all winners when there’s a new Romero … Continue reading

DAVID DUCHOVNY GETS A TV SET

David Duchovny, whose dreams of an X-Files sequel movie will not die, is biding his time until he can return to his Fox Mulder suit by starring in a movie called The TV Set. Duchovny will play a down on his luck guy with a pregnant wife who suddenly sells a TV pilot. While he … Continue reading

KONG CONQUERS NBC!

Your chance to see the first footage from Peter Jackson’s sure to be amazing King Kong is right around the corner, and befitting a giant ape movie, it’s going to be a blockbuster presentation.

SHOOT SOME REJECTS

This week I had a chance to catch The Devil’s Rejects, Rob Zombie’s sequel to House of 1,000 Corpses. It’s an OK movie – the film’s a little slack at times and Zombie manages to have so much brutality inflicted on characters we don’t care about that it gets a little boring after a while. … Continue reading

MORE TREASURE!

You’ve uncovered the world’s greatest treasure trove. What do you do as a follow up? Ask Gregory Poirier, who has been hired to write the sequel to last year’s hit National Treasure. The Nicolas Cage film defied expectations by not sucking that much and actually being a passable good time at the movies. At the … Continue reading

WOODY MEETS WOLVERINE

The sleuths at Coming Soon! have uncovered a newspaper article that claims that Mr. Hugh Jackman – the Wolverine himself – will be starring in the new Woody Allen movie with Scarlett Johansson. Don’t get confused – the movie isn’t Match Point, the film Woody made starring Scarlett. That one’s done and was the belle … Continue reading

MR. & MRS. SMITH SPAWN?

Mr. & Mrs. Smith just didn’t click for me – there wasn’t enough to Pitt and Jolie’s wholly superficial characters (as beautiful as they may be) to make me care if they murdered each other, reconciled their marriage or successfully shot up a department store full of faceless stormtroopers.  It’s also at least 20 minutes … Continue reading

LUKE WILSON BANGS SUPERGIRL

Luke Wilson, brother of the Butterscotch Stallion, is in talks to star in the new Ivan Reitman movie, Super Ex. It’s about a guy who breaks up with his girlfriend only to find out that she’s a superhero, and she uses her powers against him. It’s part of the next wave of superhero films, which … Continue reading

CORPSE BRIDE RISES

Here’s a baby I’ve been anticipating for quite some time. Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride is the follow up to his (and I can’t NOT mention Henry Selick) first stop-motion masterpiece, The Nightmare Before Christmas. Oddly enough, the film is loosely based on a 19th century Russian folktale which is supposedly built on the historical fact … Continue reading
