We could simply cut and paste stories from Variety, but we don’t. We’re too amazing for that. We RETYPE articles from Variety…

TRAILER: A GOOD YEAR

While my sweet tooth has long kept me in the realm of rum (and syrupy flavored vodka), I’ve begun partaking of the grape in my more recent years. But I’m not entirely sure what I’d do with a whole vineyard. Especially since you have to squeeze out the wine yourself. Such a dilemma faces businessman … Continue reading

THE BAT-TRAIN PULLS INTO YUMA

Christian Bale, the actor most likely to set a nerd’s secret homoerotic desires afluttering, is looking to make his spurs jingle jangle jingle in James Mangold’s remake of 3:10 to Yuma, a classic Western. The 1957 original has a rancher bringing a captured outlaw into town to catch the titular train to meet a court … Continue reading

YOU CAN’T KEEP A HELLBOY DOWN

Two weeks ago I sat down with Guillermo Del Toro for a very long interview (which should be hitting CHUD next week!), and one of the topics that came up was how often his projects come and go. He’s pretty zen about it, figuring that with patience and his hard work it all works itself … Continue reading

HOT FUZZ DOES COMIC CON!

One of the highlights of my Comic Con 2006 was seeing Edgar Wright and Nick Frost of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Now there’s a chance to see the Con through their eyes, as the latest Hot Fuzz video blog has hit the web, detailing the boys’ journey to San Diego and some … Continue reading

NIC CAGE PLAYS WITH FURRIES!

I guess if Neil LaBute could have a character reminisce about a high school homosexual locker room gang rape as his best lay ever in Your Friends & Neighbors, I shouldn’t be surprised that he would end his version of The Wicker Man with Nic Cage apparently getting a hand job from a couple of … Continue reading

SODOMIZING PETER SELLERS’ CORPSE II

Emboldened by America’s acceptance of the monumentally unfunny Pink Panther remake, the producers are going back for more. Yes, the watered-down, remarkably joke-free film will be getting a sequel. The Pod Person Steve Martin (the one who stars in endlessly awful movies like this and the Cheaper by the Dozen films) will be back to … Continue reading

SET VISIT: THE COVENANT

A strikingly handsome young man in a fashionable black coat stands at the edge of a sheer cliff some four stories high. After a ponderous moment, he steps off and begins plunging to what would ordinarily spell death or grievous injury.  But rather than be greeted with the expected compound fractures at the bottom, his … Continue reading

DIE HARD WITH A LOUSY TITLE

John McClane is dusting off his Beretta and coming out of retirement for a fourth Die Hard, and though it’s been over a decade since he last shot holes through Euro-thieves, Fox is hoping the rickety, irascible cop will provide a sufficient challenge to Autobots and Decepticons – the movie is already scheduled for June … Continue reading
