If you think Jeff Goldblum always plays his characters the same way, the fast talking, stammering, quirky genius of Jurrasic Park, Independence Day or The Fly, you should hear him talk in real life. He’s got exactly the same speech pattern, so it’s not an act. I must say, he’s been quite skilled at finding … Continue reading
Martin Scorsese needs no introduction, and frankly, with the editing job I have to do with his speech, I can’t spend any more time writing about him. Here’s what he said for about 45 minutes speaking about The Aviator, with a bit of polish and cleanup on my part. Q: Do you see any parallel … Continue reading
For a while, it was uncertain whether Leonardo DiCaprio would live up to the potential suggested by What’s Eating Gilbert Grape. He transformed so completely into the mentally challenged Arnie, even much more lucrative roles as a young stowaway on the Titanic or an MTV version of Shakespeare seemed like average duties. Recent roles in … Continue reading
Let’s get this out of the way: Jessica Biel is completely and amazingly hot in person. Just gorgeous. Poke your eyes out sexy. It turns out she’s also really nice and funny. And a little bit weird. That’s rare with the pretty girls I have interviewed – they tend to be a little vapid, or … Continue reading
Notes on SIGNS – Possibly my favorite of the spoofs. I love the way Lewis draws aliens (readers of our old Dead Squirrel Magazine can attest) and I think a film so homey and small is harder to do that ones with stuff that allows for broad comedy. Plus, I think this is a perfect … Continue reading
Notes on X2 – This turned out to be harder to spoof than we thought. First of all, it’s a really good movie and secondly… we didn’t want to have to cater too much to hardcore fans. I think that this is probably the most disjointed of our strips, probably because we bumped right up … Continue reading

CLICK HERE to read up on what I have cooking and see if you have any ideas on how to make it better. Additionally, I’ve announced that we’ll be starting a daily comic strip (mon-fri … Continue reading
Nicolas Cage has not done traditional press rounds in at least the five years I’ve been a journalist. He’s always pleasant on the red carpet, answering a question or two if he makes it to your spot on the line, but no roundtable interviews. Only for Sonny, the film he directed, did he do three … Continue reading
You guys like the screenings, so they keep coming (even though I’ve been lax in getting the Charlotte and Raleigh stuff organized as well as I should). Plus, when the films are genre flicks like this featuring the muscular hotnesses of both Jessica Biel and Ryan Reynolds it’s hard to say no. Blade Trinity, aka … Continue reading
