Paramount is courting controversy by being the studio that won the rights to Boys Don’t Cry director Kimberly Peirce’s new film, Stop-Loss. The film began life as a documentary, where Peirce was looking into the stories of GIs who returned home from Iraq, only to be shipped back out again against their wills by the … Continue reading
I like Ryan Reynolds, but not because of his films. Looking back at his resume you see that the guy’s film choices have been less than inspired – Van Wilder is probably his only real hit. And like Amityville Horror, whatever money that made certainly didn’t come from his name. But I think that Hollywood … Continue reading
There’s no book too unlikely to become a movie, at least not if Leonardo DiCaprio is interested in it. Malcolm Gladwell’s Blink is apparently a very good book about snap judgement and quick decision making. The author uses different examples to explore many aspects, including the neurological, of this phenomenon. That’s right, it’s a non-fiction … Continue reading
The cast for the third – and supposedly final – Bourne film is coming together, as Joan Allen is in early talks to reprise her role as Pamela Landy. The third film, The Bourne Ultimatum, will begin shooting sometime next year. At that time you can look for my quote on every poster for the … Continue reading
Just the other day I basically surrendered to the concept of remakes (The Wild Bunch finally broke me). I recognize the value of a brand, I’m honestly sick of bitching about them, and people are probably exhausted from reading all our complaints, for all the good it does anyway. Well… I guess I can officially … Continue reading

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
So for the past couple of weeks, I’ve slowly unleashed the press coverage for Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang. Check out Part 1 with Downey and Kilmer here and Part 2 with Michelle Monaghan here. This week finally sees this baby go wide, but apparently, not in as many screens as we would’ve liked… which is … Continue reading
I always get so happy whenever any news about a Freaks & Geeks alumnus hits, and I get even happier when it’s about Paul Feig. There’s a lot of back and forth on who is responsible for what on that classic and cancelled show, and I know that Judd Apatow brought a lot to the … Continue reading
He had been talking it up, but now it’s official – George Romero is teaming with Stephen King again for From A Buick 8, based on King’s recent novel.I don’t know much about the book, having completely given up on King a couple of years ago, but here’s the synopsis from Variety: “story of a … Continue reading
I remember Hayden Christensen recently implying he was considering retiring from the Hollywood machine. I suppose if I watched myself in the prequels I’d probably contemplate it too, but handing me a small paper rectangle with several digits printed on it would likely assuage my misgivings. In fact, Christensen is reuniting with fellow ex-Jedi Sam … Continue reading
