Hell yes. As we were split in seventy-two directions at this year’s San Diego Comic Con (see the bulk of that coverage here), we were unable to see the footage of our buddy James Gunn’s Slither, his throwback to the gory and fun flicks of the 80’s. It was like missing a loved one’s funeral … Continue reading
Robert Zemeckis is currently putting together his big-budget animated adaptation of the epic poem Beowulf, about a Scandinavian warrior and his battle with a ghastly beast called Grendel. In a somewhat unexpected casting decision he’s selected the exceptionally sexy Angelina Jolie to play the mother of the creature, which for some reason makes me think … Continue reading
At Comic Con this year, a visibly exhausted Bryan Singer flew in from his Australia set of Superman Returns for a Q&A session with the fans before presenting a surprisingly polished clip of scenes from the movie (which I previously described HERE). I don’t know if you’re following Singer’s online video diaries of the production, … Continue reading

I get a lot of emails pushing the web based games and e-postcards and whatever else that are used to promote movies. I usually ignore them, but sometimes the movie is so good, or the game is so good (I try to play em all! It’s "work," doncha know) that I like to pass it … Continue reading
Following in the highly suspect footsteps of fellow Oscar winners Angelina Jolie and Halle Berry, sexy kitten Charlize Theron decided to supplement her gold statue by playing a scantily-clad heroine of her very own in the endlessly-in-development Aeon Flux. Though it’s toned down the insane acrobatics and weird hair of the old MTV animated series, … Continue reading

I am reading Steve Martin’s Shopgirl right now. I may in fact be done with it by the time you read this, as it’s a very slight book – but also very lovely. It’s a sweet and funny and most of all honest story about people trying to make their lives fit together. It’s been … Continue reading
