What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid will be very easy and sometimes it’ll be … Continue reading
There was a collective wincing from us all when Guillermo Del Toro got so very close to personal Oscar glory with the awards that Pan’s Labyrinth racked up only to be denied when the actual Best Foreign Film award didn’t go his way. Chief among the legions who felt the pain is Ron Perlman, who … Continue reading
You remember McG, right? This is the guy that started off directing dayglo videos for some of the worst bands of the 90s including Sugar Ray, Smash Mouth, and The Offspring.

I guess it makes sense. For the first time in ever, they started contacting us and considering us a … Continue reading
Devin says: If you head to NBC.com right now you can watch seven plus minutes of footage from Spider-Man 3, a little film for which Sony is hoping to drum up some interest. To that end they held a screening of the footage on the Sony lot this past weekend, with an introduction by Sam … Continue reading
Zack Snyder has had to really earn his respect. The guy came out the gate with a remake of Dawn of the Dead, for the love of God – that’s a big obstacle to face. And he pulled it off, somehow – the movie, while nothing near the original, works on its own as a … Continue reading
