I have to confess I’m probably not the best guy to write about the Tekken movie. I was really more of a Mortal Kombat player – it had fireballs and teleporting and a ninja that could turn your ass to solid ice. Tekken had grappling and high hair and a guy with a bear head. … Continue reading
Word to yer moms, he came ta drop bombs. And pick up books. Director Doug Liman got his break with Swingers, and now he’s moved on to a Jumper (the non-suicidal type). Liman will helm the adaptation of Steven Gould’s books about teenager Davy, who discovers he has the ability to teleport. His gift manifests … Continue reading
Actor-writer-director Peter Berg must be really into the “guys on a mission” genre, like literally: he’s added a remake of the Hong Kong action-drama The Mission to his already wobbly pile of projects. The original film, directed by Johnny To, featured five ex-triad members (including the omnipresent Anthony Wong) who get called to act as … Continue reading
Every single day of the week, a new Graboid 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 as obscure as obscure gets. So read the news, read the reviews, … Continue reading
When I watched Tim Burton’s questionable overhaul of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last weekend (review HERE), a couple of the spoiled adolescents struck me as having burgeoning star potential. It looks like bratty little Veruca Salt will settle for second place, as karate-kicking champion gum-chewer Violet Beauregarde is winning the race. AnnaSophia Robb will … Continue reading
I do love a good Western, but it seems like since the 1970s we’re only allotted a single really great one each decade. Silverado. Unforgiven. Open Range. Screen veteran Anjelica Huston will be part of what sounds like one of the good (and maybe great?) ones. She’s joining Pierce Brosnan and Liam Neeson in Seraphim Falls, … Continue reading
Joss Whedon showed up at Whedonesque, a blog that fanatically keeps track of all things Whedon related (and which will probably be miffed that I said fanatic), and dropped some sweet info on the masses. There was talk of a new Serenity/Firefly comic, set during the time period of the TV show (which means certain … Continue reading
Julian McMahon is going to have bad things happen to him, and they have nothing to do with Latveria. The actor, who played the mortal enemy of the Fantastic Four this summer, will next be seen in Premonition, a thriller starring Sandra Bullock. Sort of like, “I have a premonition Sandra Bullock’s career isn’t going … Continue reading

I have been dying to see more footage from Darren Aronofsky’s The Fountain ever since ComicCon. Now there’s a new internet-only trailer, and while it doesn’t have a ton of new stuff, it does place things I had seen in fascinating context, and the newer material looks dazzling. What I like best is that it … Continue reading
