DAILY GRABOID 10.2.05

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

REQUIEM FOR THE BROWNCOATS

It’s like the battle of Serenity Valley all over again. The numbers are in and the Browncoats lost – Joss Whedon’s Serenity underperformed at the box office this weekend in a pretty big way, making it incredibly unlikely that there will ever be a sequel. Across America something under 1 million fans are scratching their … Continue reading

BALE vs. JACKMAN!

It’s every comic geek’s dream: seeing Wolverine and Batman collide on the silver screen.  Unfortunately due to legal entanglements (and the fact that Marvel and DC now seem to despise each other, or at the very least have a not-so-friendly competition), this project is as close as we’ll ever get. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman … Continue reading

SPOOK SIGHTINGS FOR ZELLWEGER

Squinty-faced star Renee Zellweger is gonna have to open her eyes a little wider, since she’ll be using those peepers to scope out some spirits. Zellweger, who I used to think was intensely adorable but now just sort of bugs me, will star in Paramount’s remake of the Chinese/Thai import The Eye.  The movie involves … Continue reading

THIS WRECKING CREW DOES NOT HATE THOR

When someone told me there was going to be a Wrecking Crew movie, I got excited and hoped Gus Van Sant would direct. I mean, the only thing gayer than professional wrestling was this group of sweaty, bulging Thor foes. Turns out this is a baseball team, though. Still, don’t baseball dudes always pat each … Continue reading

SONY FINDS NO COMEDY IN THE MUSLIM WORLD

I don’t find it surprising that Albert Brooks has a hard time getting his movies out there. I mean, they’re funny and smart and don’t include barely closeted bald musclemen interacting with ducks – why would America want to bother with them? But I do find it surprising that an Albert Brooks movie would have … Continue reading
