***Update***Picture has been pulled. So sad! I’m really looking forward to Michael Bay’s big and loud Transformers flick, and I’d be terribly surprised if it’s not one of the more fun and exciting movies of next year [and one of two with Glenn Morshower you should be excited about]. As longtime readers of the site … Continue reading
Pan’s Labyrinth is one of my three masterpieces of 2006, and it’s now playing in the UK – so if you have bad teeth and drink your beer warm, there’s a good chance you can see it in theaters this weekend. Us New Worlders will have to wait until the end of December, though. Bloody … Continue reading
Last night I considered watching Spider-Man 2 on Fox, but opted for Jason X instead*. If I had watched the movie, I would have seen that there were a number of Spider-Man 3 clips attached to the movie, including some footage of Venom that’s familiar to those who were at Comic Con this past summer. … Continue reading
May 2007 is going to be the Wrestlemania of major 21st century franchises. In that one month we’re getting Shrek 3, Pirates of the Caribbean 3 and Spider-Man 3. Each of these films would be expected to be the #1 movie of the year in which they’re released, and now they’re all coming out with … Continue reading
After much-publicized problems with the location shoot (the university they were using didn’t want to be associated with the film after all), the remake of Revenge of the Nerds has been shut down by Fox Atomic. Nooo! First New Line shafts Peter Jackson and now this! It’s a bad week to be a guy who … Continue reading

The reviews are coming in for The Fountain, and it’s looking more and more like I’m in the minority. I can’t say I’m surprised, but I was hoping for more. I was definitely hoping for braver critical … Continue reading
I get a lot of email from publicist types that I ignore. Often it’s someone pushing a product that they want to tie into a new movie or TV show – they’ll “pitch” me editorial ideas. Most of the time it’s pretty inane stuff, like cookbooks tying into The Sopranos or something like that. But … Continue reading
Robert Altman never made it to the New York press day for A Prairie Home Companion. I was bummed because I had brought my DVD of Popeye for him to sign (can it) and it was obvious I wouldn’t have many more chances to meet the guy. Turns out I would have no more chances. … Continue reading
Sure, Steve Carrell’s next movie, Evan Almighty seems doomed – it’s the most expensive comedy of all time and the trailers indicate that none of that cash was spent on jokes. But don’t count him out yet. Carrell has other projects lined up, one of which is ideally suited for him – a big screen … Continue reading
Last week I resisted the urge to post the ten second teaser of the teaser for the new Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. As much as I love the Potter films, the hype machine behind all of it has grown out of hand, and an advertisement for an advertisement … Continue reading
