Last week I told you that the MPAA had ordered Magnolia to change the website for the upcoming horror comedy Severance because a comedic image of a neck stump spurting blood was considered too extreme for the Internet. By the way, the Internet is where I saw the Mr. Hands video – you know, the … Continue reading
When Nick Frost celebrates his birthday, hotel toilets are put to the test. Deport this man now before we’re neck deep in backed-up torte. The floating cigarette butt in the second video is a classy touch. For more of the same… go see Hot Fuzz in theaters now?
This headline is completely misleading. Unlike nearly everyone I know, I rather enjoyed Scott Smith’s The Ruins, the incredibly bleak follow-up novel to his equally bleak A Simple Plan. Though the book doesn’t quite do "for vacations in Mexico what Jaws did for beach weekends on Long Island" as Stephen King logrolling-ly claimed, it is … Continue reading

That three-year break the Coens took between The Ladykillers and No Country for Old Men must’ve been quite the bracer. Principal photography is still a few months away on Burn After Reading, and, already, the brothers have lined up their third post-hiatus feature with Focus and Working Title.
