If Ernest could go to prison, why not Pee Wee? That’s one of the two possible movie concepts for the triumphant return of the once-disgraced Pee Wee Herman. Hell, if Ollie North could have a major career as a commentator and a writer after seeking to undermine the very Constitutional fabric of this country and … Continue reading
Worry not, Chewers, Paramount’s Black Hole will not be a remake of the seminal floating robot film, but rather an adaptation of Charles Burns’ black and white graphic novel about a group of kids hit with a very, very weird STD.It took Burns ten years to finish his 12 part story, which has just been … Continue reading
Paramount Pictures president Gail Berman has laid out the studio’s plans for the next couple of years, and one of the things that she mentioned that caught my eye was a sequel to Jackass. The original Jackass was a monster smash for the studio – it cost only 5 million to make and it raked … Continue reading

Spielberg’s mouthpiece Martin … Continue reading
The flick? Monster House. The locale? Sony Studios in Culver City, California. The agenda? Find out what in the flying balls this film is all about. I do regret to inform that I did not get punched in the tit (or pec, as my chest is in fact QUITE sculpted… ahem) by Richard Dreyfuss like … Continue reading
