Comic fans love to debate Marvel vs DC, but when it comes to movies, there’s no arguing: Marvel has been both more prolific and way more successful than DC has been in this latest burst of superheroes at the movies. Marvel’s been able to bring not just their A-list characters – Spider-Man, The X-Men and … Continue reading
I love San Diego Comic Con. I love running around like a madman, handing out my card, scoring interviews and bugging publicists for info. I love the parties and the free booze. I love running into all the fun people I have met on set visits or at junkets and having a chance to shoot … Continue reading
Late last year, England’s Channel Four broadcast a documentary called Young@Heart (I know, I know…At least it hasn’t become Yung@Heart in an attempt to capitalize on the Yung Joc/Yung Won rap nomenclature craze) about a group of senior citizens that regularly convene in order to rock out on cover versions of songs from the likes … Continue reading
Trans Fans. You think they’d come up with a less Craig’s-List-personals-sounding moniker.
After having lost American Idol, Clay Aiken style (I lost, but I’m loved!), Katherine McPhee is doing what any Southern California resident aspires to – acting. Of course, other less fortunate and less attractive Southern Californians have to work tables at The Peach Pit and struggle and sleep with unattractive people in their quest for … Continue reading

Though I’ve been assured that Body of Lies aka Penetration – which would re-team Scott with Kingdom of Heaven scribe William Monahan, who, in turn, would be re-teaming with The Departed lead Leonardo DiCaprio – will be the master filmmaker’s … Continue reading
I am forlorn no more. Fernando Meirelles’s adaptation of Jose Saramago’s intellectual sci-fi thriller, Blindness, was dealt quite a blow last month when Daniel Craig vacated the project in order to make a World War II movie with Edward Zwick (not what I’d do with my newfound Bond clout, but whatever). This left Julianne Moore … Continue reading
Everybody gets all nostalgic for 80s garbage like The Goonies or The Monster Squad… but I almost never see swooning for legitimate 80s classics like Better Off Dead or One Crazy Summer, both directed by Savage Steve Holland. OK, maybe I see some love for Better Off Dead, but less than I would like considering … Continue reading
Don’t get too excited yet; this ‘leaked’ image may or may not be official marketing for Todd Haynes’ very ambitious biography of Bob Dylan. I really hope it is legit, though, because it gets several things quite right. First, it’s eye-catching, and presents several of the actors without resorting to duly despised big heads. In … Continue reading
