You may have noticed less of my byline around here lately. Unfortunately for those of you who thought I was finally gone, that’s about to change – I’m back! I spent the last two weeks in Los Angeles and, believe it or not, Albuquerque New Mexico, where I was doing some vital content gathering. What … Continue reading
With the blessed box office of Passion of the Christ and, peripherally, Narnia, everyone (besides most of our government and about 70% of the country) wants to be in the Jesus business. That now also includes New Line and endlessly adorable young Whale Rider star Keisha Castle-Hughes, who’ll portray the Virgin Mary in that studio’s … Continue reading
Once he sheathes his adamantium claws, Hugh Jackman can still use his leather X-gloves to grip the shifter for an upcoming project called Drive. Based on author James Sallis’ modern noir tale (which coincidentally is in my stack of about a hundred books I’ve bought and haven’t had time to read), the story follows a Hollywood … Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
Finally a disaster movie with some depth! Get it? Depth? Eh. I don’t even try anymore. Wolfgang Petersen’s latest soggy, overpriced epic is a remake of the 1972 catastrophe The Poseidon Adventure, and the 21st century version similarly has a gargantuan wave slapping a luxury cruise ship upside-down, leaving the cast of famous people and … Continue reading
A few thoughts went through my head while watching the trailer for The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (and none of them were "I can’t wait for this!"): 1. I think I saw this already — it was called Initial D. 2. This director is attached to the remake of Oldboy? Fuck. 3. Holy crap, that’s … Continue reading
It’s no surprise that Alan Moore wasn’t available for the V For Vendetta press day in New York City – even if he approved of the film, or kept his name on the credits, he doesn’t much leave his local area these days. But David Lloyd, the comic’s co-creator and artist, was on hand to … Continue reading

Oh DreamWorks. Your set visit for Bill (Gods and Monsters, Kinsey) Condon’s Dreamgirls got the press started off on the right foot. "Let’s schoomze these jerks over and get their asses krunk!" And though I didn’t get krunk – honestly, not even plain drunk – I was pretty buzzed by the time I made my … Continue reading
