ABC’s Good Morning, America is one of those shows that broadcasts to folks a couple generations ahead of me. People who saw The Sting and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in their first runs. This might, in part, explain why Paul Newman chose a relatively quiet appearance on the show last last week to … Continue reading
With the ever increasing PR thunder surrounding Halo 3, it’s been easy to forget the video game franchise with low-hanging balls of titanium also had a film aiming to beat the "video game movies suck" standard of property licensing. Many swore the project would fail. I remained the optimist*, which had me weeping pathetic and … Continue reading
The Brothers Solomon has the creepiest poster of the year. I’m not one of those guys who can’t take the sight of a gloriously pregnant woman. Usually it is, indeed, glorious. Especially when the kid ain’t mine. But the belly on display here is just so…big. It’s almost like it holds the combined manpower of … Continue reading

One of the films I most wanted to see at Toronto last year was Fido. It’s the story of a zombie-infested town that has been ‘saved’ by ZomCon, a company that specializes in zombie control. The sleepy burg (which is als o appraently stuck in the ’50s) now has zombie mailmen, housekeepers and, when little … Continue reading
While this trailer’s opening scenes of our gal working a pole at a “scrip” club may prove frightfully prescient, Lindsay Lohan’s I Know Who Killed Me is not in fact a film about stripping, exactly. It’s a generic-looking dual identity thriller in the vein of Stay or The Number 23 (Yeah, I know. I can … Continue reading
You know how to get me excited about the synthesis of games and film? John Lassiter needs to get on stage at ShoWest and announce that Pixar is developing a film based on Will Wright’s Spore. I would probably lose it, if only for a minute. Until this morning, I thought that one other name … Continue reading
This week will see the next series of mini-featurettes about Grizzly Park, my maiden voyage into producing a feature. Directed by the enigmatic Tom Skull [I don’t know his legal name], it’s a nice cocktail of horror and comedy that we’ll hopefully be seeing in theaters later this year. Here’s the eighth video, Trevor Peterson … Continue reading
The spectacle of Lindsay Lohan – and I don’t know how to more accurately refer to the young lady’s existence at this point – is something that’s both incredibly sad and endlessly fascinating. While she does actually make films and get money to do so, that’s fallen way into the background as she’s become America’s … Continue reading
