Oscar winner Ben Affleck (man, that still seems like an odd thing to call the star of Gigli and Surviving Christmas) is finally putting the pieces together on his adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s Boston-based mystery novel Gone Baby Gone, and some of it is genetic. The heroically-chinned actor, who penned the script and is making … Continue reading
I made it pretty far into Eight Below without crying, but in the end it’s a losing battle. The theater was filled with the telltale sniffles of weeping moviegoers no more than halfway through this surprisingly wonderful story of survival, and while each tear was more than a little from each eye, Eight Below mostly … Continue reading
A new interview with Brett Ratner at MTV.com is incredibly revealing, and includes the confirmation that X-Men: The Last Stand is the last film for the team, that Ratner claims the shitty pictures we have seen hitting the web recently were taken before he got on the film (anyone else think Matthew Vaughn is going … Continue reading
The final pieces of the Casino Royale puzzle have fallen into place. As many expected, the beautiful Eva Green has taken the role of Vesper Lynd. More surprising is the casting of Jeffrey Wright, and honest to Christ actor, as the CIA agent Felix Leiter. Wright won’t be the first black Leiter in the series … Continue reading

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
In the story before this one, I wrote about the annoying parade of Batman 2 rumors. To be fair, the franchise that is plagued with the most annoying rumors for the last few years has been the James Bond films – we’ve seen every possible actor and concept trotted out as being involved in the … Continue reading
I am looking forward to the official announcement about the sequel to Batman Begins just so we can end the rumors that have been flying across the internet for the last few months. I wonder where these things start – are they honest to God reflections of the thought processes of the people behind the … Continue reading
