I was a fan of John Singleton’s ludicrous revenge film Four Brothers, and I have to give him respect for producing Hustle & Flow, but I do have to draw the line somewhere, and that line is drawn where it comes to a movie that might require an actually technically proficient director.

Even though it hasn’t officially arrived in the US of A, Park Chan-Wook’s Lady Vengeance (aka Sympathy for Lady Vengeance) still made the Best of 2005 lists of Devin (HERE), Russ (HERE) and myself (HERE), and it’ll probably show up on quite a few more when moviegoers assemble their own 2006 lists in about 11 months. … Continue reading
I’m not quite ready to eat my words, but Jared Leto looks like he might be willing to. Along with anything else on my plate. The hunk has gained a couple of pounds, it would seem, for his role as John Lennon’s killer Mark David Chapman in Chapter 27. A month or so ago I … Continue reading

The story behind Enron’s collapse is at once sickeningly familiar and weirdly confusing. The basic end results are enough to make any reasonable person angry – the nation’s 7th largest company collapses, taking with it the pensions and dreams of its employees while a handful of executives walk away with a billion dollars.
