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.

Today I had a chance to interview Sir Anthony Hopkins about his new film, The World’s Fastest Indian, based on the true story of Kiwi motorbiker Burt Munro. At one point the conversation turned to why he got into acting and he revealed his deep hatred for Dave Davis: I became an actor because I … Continue reading
Steve Carrell, who unjustly won the Golden Globe for his work on the American version of The Office (while the show is funny, Carrell’s character has none of the charm of Ricky Gervais’, and just comes across as a sociopath due to Carrell’s deadpan performance, and not as a desperate loser), has warned America that … Continue reading

It turns out that all Lou wanted to talk about was The Hunted; it’s like his favorite movie.Now that we’ve established his cinematic bona fides, let’s talk about Factory Girl, the film … Continue reading

As was the case during the last go-around (when we picked up Graig, Russell and Rob) you’ll be asked to review … Continue reading
My friend Brady Hall is a filmmaker in the Pacific Northwest. He has three low budget features under his belt so far – I’m not wild about his first two Troma-esque films Polterchrist and Jerkbeast, but his latest, June & July, is a really great little film.
