Holee shit. I don’t usually run set photos, but these pics snapped on the set of We Are Marshall need to be seen. The film is the true story of Marshall University’s football team, which got decimated in a plane crash. Matthew McConaughey, seen here in astonishing 70s get-up, plays the new coach who comes … Continue reading
Like we mentioned the other day RIGHT HERE, it seems that all (or most) of the rumors about problems on Grind House aren’t anything to worry about, but tiny chunks are still slipping through the veil of secrecy enshrouding the project. The script for Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino’s half of the exploitation-style double-feature, is apparently making … Continue reading

One of the people I was able to speak with that day was Lewis Alsamari, who played one of the hijackers. There had been a hassle getting Lewis … Continue reading

Ever since he left the world of cinematography (where he was, without a doubt, one of the greats, especially in his work with the Coen Brothers on films like Miller’s Crossing and Blood Simple) for the director’s chair, reading Barry Sonnenfeld’s resume can give you a serious case of whiplash. He’s gone from the heights … Continue reading
Aeon Flux did not do well in theaters – it earned back less than half its budget in domestic release and the reviews were overwhelmingly negative. Hollywood generally has a way of dealing with a film that performs like this… they walk away and don’t talk about it much. But the DVD release of Aeon … Continue reading

True story: I got a press release telling me that Silent Hill is the most graffitied poster in New York City. That poster is everywhere in town, and the big mouthless expanse of Jodelle Ferland’s face does make a tempting target. But is there a graffiti database where they compare the vandalism done to different … Continue reading
What if they threw a satire and no jokes came? This is the question American Dreamz answers in its interminable running time. Completely castrated and devoid of comedy, American Dreamz is what it looks like when a filmmaker runs out of nerve just before filming begins. The movie barely even attempts to extend its comedy … Continue reading
