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

THE FARRELLYS GET HEARTBREAK

Remember when the Farrelly Brothers were the shiznit in Hollywood? What happened to them? The easy answer, of course, is Stuck on You and Shallow Hal and Me, Myself and Irene. There’s probably some deeper issue, something to do with a reaction to sudden fame and fortune, but it really boils down to the fact … Continue reading

TWOHY AT THE WHEEL

I enjoyed David Twohy’s The Chronicles of Riddick a fair bit when I first saw it last summer (originally reviewed HERE), but it’s one of those movies that’s really grown on me through repeat viewings.  Which makes it all the more discouraging that, outside of a possible follow-up to the excellent videogame, we’re unlikely to … Continue reading

EWAN, EWAN, EWAN AND EWAN

Ewan McGregor is going to break the Dual Role barrier by playing two sets of Dual Roles – that’s right, a Quadruple Role! And if one of them is a retarded gay football player, he might finally get his Oscar. The film is yet unnamed, but it’s being directed by Peter Capaldi, and is about … Continue reading

BACK TO THE FUTURAMA?

Whispers have been making their way across the Internet and have finally reached my ears – could there be a new lease on life for Futurama, the show that was pound for pound better than The Simpsons? Billy West, who did many of the show’s voices, including Fry, thinks so. In a posting on his … Continue reading

PIXAR SOUNDS GOOD

I’d wager that a significant portion of the world’s population could, with a mere second or two of audio, be able to correctly identify a Corellian blaster or a lightsaber igniting or a TIE Fighter roaring through space. You can thankk soundd designerr Ben Burtt for such an endless array of instantly recognizable noises.  Now … Continue reading

MUTANT MASSACRE

When I interviewed Matthew Vaughn for his directorial debut, Layer Cake, he was visibly jazzed about his next project, X-Men 3. So I can only imagine that his decision to leave that film – a decision that Aint It Cool News has confirmed – must have been tough. ”This is not a case of creative … Continue reading

We will have a new story topic available later in the month. What it is, even I don’t know! Rest assured that it’ll … Continue reading

CHEADLE GETS GANGSTER LEAN

Universal has already sunk lots of money into the film American Gangster –  both Denzel Washington and Benicio Del Toro had pay or play deals when they signed on to the film just before it imploded. That, of course, means that they got paid for doing diddly shit, which I am under the impression is … Continue reading

THEY WANT YEOH

Michelle Yeoh is a hot property in Hollywood this summer, as Mission: Impossible 3 and the Hannibal prequel are both looking to land the Asian lovely. She had been in talks with the M:I3 folks for a while, but it was while visiting the Cannes Film Festival that Yeoh was approached by the Hannibal crew. … Continue reading

SCRUBBING CHUM, ONLINE

The website for the Sundance hit The Chumscrubber is online, and it’s worth checking out just for its amazingly impressive cast listing. They’ve got John Heard, William Fichtner, Carrie Ann Moss, Ralph Fiennes, Glenn Close, Allison Janney, Jamie Bell, Rita Wilson and the still-shamefully -cute-to-me-even -after-I-met-her-underage-self Camilla Belle. The movie is one of those "troubled teens in … Continue reading
