BACK IN THE OCEAN – AGAIN

The first one was great. The second one was unexpected fun. Somehow I don’t feel the need to go back for thirds. But nobody asks me about these things, so the planning for Ocean’s Thirteen is underway right now. The idea is to have a 2006 start on the film, with (Nation’s Punched contributor) Brian … Continue reading

WOODY ALLEN – STILL IN EXILE

Just because his latest release, Match Point, is getting great reviews, ending up on top ten lists and was nominated for a bunch of Golden Globes doesn’t mean that Woody Allen is going to be making movies in America any time soon.

DEVIN’S TOP FIFTEEN OF 2005

My Ten Worst for 2005My Top Fifteen for 2004 I learned a lot about the movies this year. I saw over 150 of them in theaters, so I would hope I came out of that with something more than hemorrhoids. One of the things I learned about was the way movies aren’t stationary things. You … Continue reading

INTERVIEW: PIERCE BROSNAN (THE MATADOR)

I walked into this interview with one goal – say ‘twat’ to Pierce Brosnan. It’s a low goal, sure, but every interview needs its focus. ‘Twat’ didn’t just come out of nowhere. Brosnan’s character in The Matador is given to uttering words like that in some of the best, and dirtiest, lines of the year. … Continue reading
