WHAT A CROC!

While the second-rate Batman foe will likely remain safely locked in Arkham until that rebooted franchise starts to run low on villains, a different killer croc is heading to theaters. Australian director Greg McLean’s road-terror tale Wolf Creek obviously impressed the Weinsteins enough for them not only to distribute that flick (it hits US screens … Continue reading

TORONTO FILM FESTIVAL: DAY THREE

Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four | Day Five | Day SixDay Seven| Day Eight | Day Nine The first Saturday of the festival is always my favorite. Not because of anything within the event itself. No, the reason is the giant Christian parade, often with fervent anti-gay sentiment, that … Continue reading

BULLY FOR LEO AND MARTY

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, currently shooting their third film together in a row, The Departed, really want to keep up the love affair. They keep talking about the next project they’re going to do – a few months back it was a remake of Kurosawa’s Drunken Angel. Now the duo are talking about making … Continue reading

SPIDER-MAN COMPOSER NO MORE

Today the junket for The Corpse Bride junket was held in Toronto, at the Toronto Film Festival. The junket in general was short on news – Tim Burton is taking a break, Helena Bonham Carter has a few things in the hopper and Johnny Depp is still knee-deep in Captain Jack Sparrow (his mouth was … Continue reading

A DOOM WITH A VIEW

I have to admit, I was totally expecting Doom to be a tour de forced entry but after a good friend assured me it was terrific I’ve moved my anticipation meter from "see it with three drinks beforehand" to a single glass of claret. That’s growth. Speaking of growths, the poster for the film looks … Continue reading

STATHAM KILLS THE HELL OUT OF LA

With the Transporter sequel such a driving force (guh) at the box office, Jason Statham is taking advantage of that exposure to snatch a new project before his association to Uwe Boll can prove detrimental. The beefy Brit will slay his way through Los Angeles in the Lions Gate action-thriller Crank. The flick (taking place over … Continue reading

THE CHILDREN OF OLDMAN

I’m not that familiar with the works of Alfonso Cuarón, but of what I’ve seen, I would go so far as to say that the man’s a real visonary. The third Potter installment, Prisoner of Azkaban, proved this to me and many others. It’s the only Potter film I can really get behind (sorry, Dev) … Continue reading
