It’s not that I don’t like the screenplays of David Benioff. I do. It’s just that last week I reread The 25th Hour and it’s so good (and some of the short stories in When The Nines Roll Over are just fantastic). There aren’t enough good young novelists these days, if you ask me, and … Continue reading
Are Michael Winterbottom and Takashi Miike in some sort of international competition to see who can make the most movies? If so, I think Miike is definitely winning. Still, Winterbottom is giving him a run for his yen, with his take on Tristram Shandy just opening and the debut of his next film at the … Continue reading
The boys over at AICN (who seem to be in CHUD-ignoring mode these days, but whatever…) said this film was the best thing since sliced head, and I’m hoping that this flick is a wonderful treat for cinemagoers and not the latest victim of "we saw it early, so it’s great" hype. That’s not a … Continue reading
Even though it’s just now finally seeing official release here in the US, the Russian supernatural blockbuster Night Watch was slick enough to get hard-to-say helmer Timur Bekmambetov a few new gigs. The Russian director has grabbed the comic series The Red Star for development, making it the second comic book project he’s adapting for … Continue reading
Who doesn’t love the Zodiac Killer? While I’m sure you’re all aware that David Fincher is working on his long gestating project about the guy who enjoyed filling the Charon’s boat, there’s a flick about the subject just a short time away from hitting screens and folks in Atlanta have first crack it! The Zodiak. … Continue reading
Hi, I’m an Oliver Stone apologist. Sort of. I really don’t find Seizure all that compelling and Alexander bothered the piss out of me because they never covered the years he co-starred on Seinfeld. That said, I can watch many of his movies over and over and never get bored. I also love his commentaries, … Continue reading
It’s always nice to see a poster where a woman is having her face slammed into the ground. It reminds me of dear ol’ Ma. Actually, I’m really glad that the image isn’t showing what’s happening to the left of the frame, as whether it’s an unwilling act of sensuality or a simple anal backrub, … Continue reading
I’m relieved and elated that a few people in Hollywood saw A History of Violence and remembered what a great goddamn filmmaker David Cronenberg can be when he’s on his game – the guy who brought us exploding heads and mugwump jism is quickly lining up more projects than you can fit in a Brundlepod. … 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
Two actors who I like quite a bit seem to be committing serious career suicide – Nathan Fillion and Katee Sackhoff are in talks to star in White Noise 2: Worse than the First. My legions of dedicated Browncoat readers will know that Nathan Fillion was the star of Serenity/Firefly, and he’s starring in the … Continue reading
