Oh lord. Oh lord in heaven. I have spent a couple of minutes trying to figure out just why this image of Kelsey Grammer as Beast from X3 is so awful, and I feel like pinpointing one thing is impossible. Part of it is the cheesy pose – it looks like he’s the model on … Continue reading
The Prognosticator has made it a full year – amazing! Thanks to everyone who has kept this column alive with their feedback; it’s what keeps us going until we have the technological know how to start charging for this stuff. You may notice that this column is late. I won’t give you a litany of … Continue reading
British secret agents have been thoroughly spoofed in Johnny English, Austin Powers and Die Another Day, so now it’s time for an American spy to get the parody treatment. Warner Bros.’ big-screen remake of the 1960s TV show Get Smart, itself a satire of espionage stories, has found its director – someone who has already … Continue reading

He’s the guy who famously clashed with Ed Norton on American History X, even going so far as demanding to be credited as “Humpty Dumpty” on the final cut and then suing New Line for a preposterous sum when they disallowed it. Kaye also hasn’t made a … Continue reading

Savvy fans of foreign cinema (or just those of you who read this site) might be familiar with the name Park Chan-wook, the astoundingly talented filmmaker responsible for Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy, a pair of this decade’s most brutal and accomplished films.

They’re heading back in that direction with their next project, though they’re not leaving the macabre completely behind. The Pang Brothers will … Continue reading

Frazzled producer Chris Moore is producing an action flick … Continue reading
