I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
Brian Helgeland’s A Knight’s Tale is a favorite movie of mine – I think it’s wonderful and fun and just really well-made. I actually love the integration of 70s rock into the period piece. So I get excited when the guy says that he has an idea for a sequel. Of course whether that sequel … Continue reading
There’s big news on Rocky VI today in the pages of Variety – the film is greenlit at Sony, and it is being called Rocky Balboa. Stallone has given some hints about the plot, which will have a widowed, old Rocky climbing back into the ring for one last fight. "There’s a computer fight between … Continue reading
Dark Horizons, home of that Aussie spunk Garth Franklin (I think I used his term correctly), reports that some fairly major reshoots have been happening on Superman Returns – mostly of action sequences. Bryan Singer and his crew have decided to rejigger some of the action moments because they too closely resemble other recent films, … Continue reading
I was hoping that I could tell whether the next Harrison Ford movie, Manhunt, would be any good based on the director chosen. Now a director has been hired – and I remain baffled. Manhunt is about the 12 day search for the man who shot Abraham Lincoln (I won’t spoil it for you by … Continue reading
For those of you sick of Kirsten Dunst’s lazy lidded performances bringing movie after movie to their knees, you will soon get the distinct pleasure of seeing her bite the dust at the hands, innards and shards of flying steel of an Iraqi suicide bomber. The film she will be starring in is an as-yet … Continue reading
Cinematic veteran and personal idol Clint Eastwood has assembled a fairly decent cast (and Paul Walker) for his WWII tale Flags of Our Fathers, which follows those Easy Company soldiers made famous by the flag-raising photograph at the battle of Iwo Jima. But that’s not enough war for the guy who went where eagles dare, … Continue reading

I have heard a couple of people say that Universal has done a poor job of marketing King Kong so far, but I really have to disagree. It’s too easy to burn us out early by pumping out a bunch of teasers and releasing too many images and doing too much PR. I think King … Continue reading
