I’ll admit that I’ve never been the biggest horror fan, but when I do dip my toes in those waters, I try to make it count by avoiding crap as much as possible. Thus, all I ever…err, saw of the Saw films was the UMD version of the first movie which I stopped halfway through … Continue reading
It’s generally accepted now that a big part of the success of Casino Royale’s reboot of the Bond franchise was its shameless aping of the tone and feel of the Bourne movies, specifically the Paul Greengrass-directed The Bourne Supremacy. Of course, this isn’t a particularly new facet of the franchise. Throughout the decades, Bond flicks … Continue reading
Righteous Kill is a movie I might have gotten excited about if: – Jon Avnet (Fried Green Tomatoes, Red Corner) wasn’t directing and– Jeremy hadn’t savaged the script in a recent Crop Report. But both of these things occurred, so the reteaming of Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro fills me only with the standard dread … Continue reading
UPDATED! Skip to the end for a look at the casting sides for Justice League! It looks like the Justice League movie is actually moving ahead in a real way – according to Obsessed With Film, Warner Bros has hired casting agents in Vancouver, Toronto and New York to put together honest to God humans … Continue reading
Happy Labor Day from Los Angeles! It’s hotter than Appalachian State up in this piece! Why Does Hollywood Hate Labor Day? (The setting: Labor Day weekend, 1983. The place: A home not far from yours.) Man: A long weekend. Thank Christ! What’s new at the movies, dear? Woman: Mortuary and Deathstalker. Man: You have found … Continue reading
When I interviewed Seann William Scott for The Dukes of Hazzard, he had already finished his work on Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales and was wondering when anyone would see the movie. Since then a straight to DVD sequel to Hazzard has come out, but still no Southland Tales. That’s supposedly changing this fall. While you’re … Continue reading

This will not be a long review, as Jeremy and Devin and Alex have already unloaded on this truly terrible film in far more delicious ways that I ever could want to. That said, I felt like it’d be a lost opportunity not to bring my take to the mix just to soil your eyes … Continue reading
I did not get a chance to use the titular argument during my latest appearance on Attack of the Show, where I debated the merits of banning smoking from movies aimed at younger people. I did, however, get to deny recent claims that I am an international spy. This was my third appearance on G4’s … Continue reading
"John Carpenter’s The Thing is a foolish, depressing, overproduced movie that mixes horror with science fiction to make something that is fun as neither one thing or the other. Sometimes it looks as if it aspired to be the quintessential moron movie of the 80’s – a virtually storyless feature composed of lots of laboratory … Continue reading
