Let’s get this out of the way upfront: I am not a fan of Ice Cube’s recent swing into family-friendly territory, I didn’t think Are We There Yet? was any good, and I don’t think the idea of remaking Cary Grant’s Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House is a rational one. But if you’re going … Continue reading
Longtime message board readers will know my position on gay marriage – yes. Not civil unions, not something “like” marriage, but marriage for all people. At least until Adam Sandler wanted in on it. Now I oppose gay marriage. Sandler and Kevin James, the *ahem* King of Queens, are starring in I Now Pronounce You … Continue reading
Let’s see… a big red cigar-chomping demon, open-faced bloodsuckers, murderous man-sized insects, various Lovecraftian beasts, whatever that freaky shit is in Pan’s Labyrinth… no doubt about it, happy horror helmer Guillermo del Toro digs his creatures. So his latest project Killing on Carnival Row sounds like his own personal paradise. According to the official synopsis, … Continue reading
With his intergalactic fugitive Riddick currently in mothballs (which is too bad – I still think Chronicles of is a blast), Vin Diesel must’ve gone looking for another sci-fi antihero and found it in Babylon A.D. (the rumor made the rounds earlier in the week but just now hit the trades, the online equivalent of chiseling … 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
Frank Marshall’s Lance Armstrong biopic has already begun shooting – for the end credits, that is. "I was there [at the Tour de France], and we shot on the last day of his seventh win last summer in Paris," Marshall told MTV. "We had six cameras going; it was incredibly exciting… We’re going to have … Continue reading
I don’t think I have to remind you of my general dislike of the Saw franchise. These movies are junk of the worst order. But that doesn’t stop me from enjoying the occasional well-made tie-in, like these Saw II Valentine’s Day cards. Seriously. The DVD of Saw II is hitting on Valentine’s Day, and someone … Continue reading
Catherine Hardwicke is going to be delaying her adaptation of The Monkey Wrench Gang in order to quickly turn around Nativity – a movie about the Virgin Mary that is hoped to hit theaters this Christmas. The Virgin Mary, for those godless heathens in the audience, is Jesus’ moms, who supposedly never slept with Joseph, … Continue reading
After the success of Good Will Hunting, I think a lot of people sort of assumed Beantown buddies Ben Affleck and Matt Damon would be a “package deal” and keep making movies together, but that certainly wasn’t the case (perhaps the excruciating Dogma drove them apart). Matt went on to show his skills in The … Continue reading
