It won’t be long, folks: once The Foot Fist Way opens this April 11th, you will finally know the power and the glory of Mr. Danny McBride. And then you’ll understand why I am now actively looking forward to Will Ferrell’s spoof-ified redo of The Land of the Lost. Granted, I wasn’t exactly desperate to … Continue reading
One of my favorite films of last year. One of Devin and Jeremy’s worst. You decide for yourself, because it’s being deservedly rereleased in theaters on the 25th of January. Seriously, see the movie. Tony Gilroy’s the real deal and I personally found it to be a very rewarding experience and a real showcase for … Continue reading
Now, I’ve seen Dario Argento’s recent movies, which have left me with very little faith in the man as a filmmaker. So why do I get that old tingling excitement when I read that Vincent Gallo is going to play the killer in Giallo, Argento’s hopefully not quite so on the nose homage to the … Continue reading
Over at Newsweek, N’Gai Croal (one of the best games journos going, and a guy that I’d love to see consistently writing for a more knowledgable base than Newsweek‘s) has an interview with Joseph Staten, Bungie’s writing director. The full interview is running in two parts (part one is here) but N’Gai today ran a … Continue reading
Hey JJ, You probably know me as the guy who saw the Cloverfield trailer early and who leaked the final name of the movie. You may also know me as a guy who has been highly skeptical of that same movie, especially of the viral marketing, which I found annoying, stupid and overbaked*. I write … Continue reading
Once you watch the trailer for Neil Marshall’s Doomsday, I think you’ll agree that they should ditch the trite title and go with Gratuitous Close-Ups of Rhona Mitra’s Ass instead (see minute 1.43). Dear me. As a follow-up to The Descent, I’ll give credit to Marshall for opening things up a bit (my standards are … Continue reading
You know what I love most about Oscar season? The outrage. And you can generally expect that the foreign film and documentary branches will supply plenty of it. We’ve already been through the bitter disappointment of Seth Gordon’s King of Kong missing the Documentary Feature shortlist, but that was kind of a fait accompli; Gordon’s … Continue reading
Principal photography has already started on Scott Derrickson’s "reinvention" of The Day the Earth Stood Still, but there’s some eleventh hour casting news to report: Jaden "Son of Will" Smith will play the "rebellious" eight-year-old stepson of Jennifer Connelly’s scientist character. This will be a quite the stretch for Jaden: he’s due to turn ten … Continue reading
It’s difficult to tell with this smallish version, but there’s more going on in the above picture than you might think. Lots more. And the only way to properly sleuth the photo is to head over to Comingsoon, which scored this latest Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (*brow wipe*) exclusive. But … Continue reading
I am finishing up my packing for the big move to Studio City, and right after that I’m flying off to Utah for Sundance, which means you’ll be seeing very little of me around here until maybe Friday. It’s just as hard for me to leave you as it is for you to see me … Continue reading
