One of the things that gets me through the slow stretches is thinking about how I may one day get a chance to sleep with this girl or that. The idea of getting a letter that tells me not just who I have slept with, but also the names of all the women I ever … Continue reading
Just when we finally got over the national trauma of the Bond-hunt, Sony is beginning a new casting call, looking for the next Bond girl.

But if her turn as warrior-whore Gail wasn’t enough to satisfy comic geeks, this … Continue reading
Rather than broaden his filmmaking skills beyond people standing around reciting overwritten dialogue, writer-director Kevin Smith has literally gone back to where he started with Clerks 2.
