Imagine a project that gave the greatest horror filmmakers some money and one hour to do whatever they wanted? Wouldn’t that be the coolest thing ever? If you’re saying to yourself, ‘We have that, Devin, and it’s called Masters of Horror, airing on Showtime,’ you’d be wrong. It turns out that even Showtime’s series has … Continue reading
The biggest pro of 16 Blocks is its simple concept – a old cop (Bruce Willis equipped with one world class poon broom) must take a wiseass perp (Mos Def, happy to have survived Hitchhiker’s) 16 blocks to NYPD’s 1st Precinct at 100 Centre Street. And of course along the way all kinds of madness … Continue reading
A Scanner Darkly could be a very cool film, and is almost certainly exactly what Richard Linklater needs post-Bad News Bears. The only problem with the movie is that it seems like it’s never coming out. The release date keeps getting pushed back further and further – now the film is scheduled to hit July … Continue reading
Lead interweb geek Harry Knowles has dug up the latest on the casting for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3. The titular web-slinger’s other love interest, Gwen Stacy (part of one of the more popular and important story arcs in Spider-Man’s history), is apparently in with the adorable Bryce Dallas Howard now signed for the role. Here’s … Continue reading

One minute you’re only familiar to fans of made-for-TV junk and bad 80s movies and Highlander II (the Renegade version, naturally)… and one critically acclaimed wine movie later, you’re suddenly working with Bruce Willis and Robert Altman and presenting awards with co-star/drunken curmudgeon Harrison Ford, and your agent is calling with more high-profile opportunities. That’s … 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 March of 2005 the internet broke the story that Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film would be based on Upton Sinclair’s 1920s novel Oil!, and would star Daniel Day Lewis. That film seemed to fade away – it turns out PTA wasn’t able to raise the funds to make the movie independently. Now it’s back, … Continue reading
There’s a good joke to be found in a time travel movie that’s got a very familiar plot. Universal has picked up a pitch for a movie that sounds like Peggy Sue Got Married Meets Back to the Future, titled How Soon Is Now? (aka, the most sadly overabused and overcovered Smiths song.
