Eddie, Eddie, Eddie. And no, I am not speaking about the abysmal movie Eddie with Whoopi Goldberg. Ugh, that just sent shivers down my spine. No, instead I speak about the abysmal movie career choice/choices that Eddie Murphy has chosen in this lifetime. What happened to our ‘heh heh heh’ guy? Oh right, Beverly Hills … Continue reading
A word of warning at the start. These impressions of L: Change The World contain some spoilers regarding the plot of the second Death Note film, The Last Name. I don’t normally give a hoot about spoilers and especially not when it concerns goofy stuff like this, but I think the second film is yet … Continue reading
The Loom of Fate wants to know, “What the fuck have you done lately?” In which my response is, “When did Morgan Freeman become Samuel L. Jackson? And why are you insulting me?” So I saw Wanted. And not only does James McAvoy insult the audience by dumping a pointless voice-over on us throughout the … Continue reading
So the other night I’m standing at my favorite bar drinking some cheap beer and watching some girls butcher every Weezer song playable in Rock Band, when another regular and I decide to play a little prank on the bar owner. Now, we don’t hate the guy- far from it- he’s fucking great. He has … Continue reading
With the tidal wave of good movies we’ve had this summer already, it’s easy to forget that there actually is another “Star Wars” movie coming — albeit an animated one. And yet the excitement and anticipation level clearly is not what it has been for all the previous live-action installments — this one does not … Continue reading
Edit: I noticed some lame typos. I’m sorry about that. I’ve got a million ideas floating around in my head right now. Devin’s editorial about the future of DC comics in movies helped focus me, for a blog post at least. I don’t really consider myself a comic book reader, mostly because I don’t really … Continue reading
Last Friday night I ended up standing on a rooftop. Not actually an uncommon endpoint for me on a regular night, I have to admit. This is one personality quirk I do have in common with the heroes of my youth – I’m somewhere between Batman and Spider-Man in my comfort with landing … Continue reading
This may be coming a bit late but I’m sure you all have heard of the Tim Russert movie being made with Randy Quaid? Well you all probably think it’s ridiculous. True the resemblance of the two is quite striking and, thus, good casting, but the real question to ask is, how low have they … Continue reading
STILL ONLY 35 CENTS! The year was 1980. I had just kicked the coke habit and I was looking to get back into the editing gig. Shooter pushed me through the system until I landed a job as assistant editor on Uncanny X-Men. Claremont and Byrne were in the midst of wrapping up the Dark … Continue reading
Dancer in the Dark is an example of what it looks like when a filmmaker tries to appease financial backers. We got half our budget from anti-capital punishment people. Their only demand was to see a gut-wrenching execution scene. The other half came from NASA. They wanted me to hire an alien as my lead … Continue reading
