Rob Lowe left NBC’s The West Wing (now come to an end) a couple of seasons ago to focus on his movie career. A look at his IMDB shows what a great idea that was – his resume is littered with failed TV series and movies you never heard of. It’s tough when you’re a … Continue reading
It’s nice to see that a few acting awards aren’t enough to scare William H. Macy away from the gratuitously grotesque. The increasingly busy guy will lend his prodigious lobes to House of Re-Animator, the fourth flick in the Lovecraftian series of revived cadavers. Macy will play a bumbling United States President who croaks during … Continue reading
I may have gotten to the age where I don’t find fart gags as funny as I once did, but putting a foreign language in a well-known actor’s mouth still makes me break down laughing. This has colored my first viewing of the German trailer for Oliver Stone’s entry in the 9/11 film festival, World … Continue reading
Superman already took Bryan Singer away from the X-Men films. Will he now take the director away from his long-planned Logan’s Run update? It’s looking more and more likely as Warner Bros is panting to get Superman Returns II into production in 2007. Which, by the way, is an interesting contrast to the still-not-getting-started Batman … Continue reading
While Hollywood’s flying fickle finger of fate ultimately determines whether Hellboy manifests in the cinematic flesh once more, we can feel secure in the knowledge that the red-skinned demon will continue fighting monsters in one form or another. In addition to the recently announced Hellboy videogame (on which the movie’s writer-director Guillermo del Toro and … Continue reading
Marvel and Fox seem to have the mutant power of flinching when it comes to release dates for their Fantastic Four franchise. The sequel to the comic book flick with the half-accurate title will again fail to utilize the marketing synergy of the name’s numerology, shifting away from the planned July 4th 2007 opening. The … Continue reading
It’s with incredible pride that we bring you the uncensored version of the one sheet for Michael Winterbottom’s stunningly important film, The Road to Guantanamo. The little elf who slipped this one into our inbox didn’t elaborate, but my assumption is that the MPAA isn’t going to look favorably on an image of a man … Continue reading
If there’s one thing I learned from The Great Space Coaster, it’s that no gnus is good gnus. And in the case the no news is that Universal’s proposed remake of the modern Korean classic Oldboy remains trapped in limbo. By now I must assume that you know that Oldboy is the second film in … Continue reading
Everyone has their take on the works of M. Night Shyamalan. Especially furious extraterrestrials who enjoy a nice glass of water. Mine has been repeated ad nauseum on here, but I have problems with his stuff but at the same time am sometimes in awe of what he’s capable of. Despite their flaws, Signs and … Continue reading
Since last summer’s actioner Stealth slammed into the earth with all the velocity of declining box office receipts, director Rob Cohen’s been keeping a relatively low profile (thanks in part to his big-budget Sinbad movie with Keanu Reeves getting put into dry-dock). But he hasn’t lost his affinity for people punching and kicking each other while shitty … Continue reading
