What’s he looking at over there to the left? It must be INTENSE. The man with the piercing green eyes and the mostly shaven nutduster is Nelson McCormick, the man making all of your remake dreams come true with his Prom Night. That’s right, the horror film that was no good in the 80’s is … Continue reading
Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four | Day FiveDay Six | Day Seven | Day Eight Oh, I’m really sad that I missed the only press screening of Water Lilies today. I opened with Joy Division (I’ll get there in a second) but would have chosen Water Lilies instead of … Continue reading
Let me get this a little less than straight: Jennifer Hudson, hot off of winning Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Effie White in Bill Condon’s Dreamgirls, has just joined the cast of Sex & the City: Bigger, Deeper & Unprotected? While I loved Hudson in Dreamgirls (and, by the way, loved Dreamgirls in … Continue reading

Though far from Cronenberg’s best, the director is certainly more comfortable within the confines of the prestige picture than he was a decade ago with … Continue reading

Especially when the film in question is seen as the flagship of a new franchise, and the filmmakers have been on the record talking about where they’d like … Continue reading
It’s late and I’m exhausted, so let’s make this quick: the Iron Man trailer is online a day early, and it can be seen in Quicktime. It’s more or less a re-edited version of the Comic Con footage… but that stuff was totally kick-ass, after all. Click here to watch the trailer (while it lasts).
It looks like Bryan Singer has not only lost the race to make a Harvey Milk biopic, he’s lost it HARD: Gus Van Sant has lined up Sean Penn to play the gay martyr and possibly Matt Damon to play his Twinkie engorged killer. Maybe. Van Sant is looking at starting production in San Francisco … Continue reading
