RUNT OF THE BOX OFFICE LITTER

A month ago or so, Walt Becker was this guy who had directed Van Wilder and now was helming some flick about middle-aged guys trying to be bikers. This past weekend, he became the man with the golden director’s chair as Wild Hogs (fiscally) exceeded every possible expectation given the combined (and seemingly waning) star … Continue reading

HOT PURSUIT

Microsoft Word hates me for even typing the title in, but Gabriele Muccino’s Will Smith-starring The Pursuit of Happyness was such a massive hit that the spell checkers of the world will just have to suffer. The moderately budgeted film not only brought in a considerable domestic and foreign take, but got Will Smith his … Continue reading

PREMIERE TAKES THE LOSS

At next year’s Oscars, I wonder if they’ll have a syrupy little homage to the terminal patient known as Premiere magazine, a piece of the American film landscape about to uncork its very last issue ever. I guess it makes sense. For the first time in ever, they started contacting us and considering us a … Continue reading

ODED CAN’T RUN HOME TO MUMMY

With Joss Whedon off the project due to creative differences and a new spec script in hand by unknown writers Matthew Jennison and Brent Strickland, the DC fanbase wants to know … Continue reading

SYMPATHY FOR THE DEVIL

Sure, John Milton’s Paradise Lost is a 400 page poem written in blank verse, but at its heart is a great story, which has found its way into the very heart of Christian mythology. Paradise Lost is about the battle between Lucifer, once one of God’s bestest angels, and the Lord Yaweh and his Hosts. … Continue reading
