100 Bullets writer Brian Azzarello has a new series coming out. It’s a Western. It’s violent. It’s bloody. It’s dark. And it’s been a long time coming. For reasons that I’ll never understand, it seemed at one point that the Western – the quintessential American genre – was dead. Its conventions living on – only … Continue reading
Shane Black’s new film, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, is one of my favorite this year. It’s like nothing I have seen in a long time, the kind of movie that’s so much fun and has so much going on that you can’t wait to see it again. It’s jammed to the edges of the frame … Continue reading

Was Starr Jones unavailable?), … Continue reading
I’ve started fresh with the Graboid, going for a more polished and tougher perspective. If you get them from now on it’ll be because you’re an astute fan of movies. I’m not going to make it easy and it’s going to be from something I either like or find it fun to put on the … Continue reading
Much like the current 007 news/rumors, the whole Rocky VI thing has been somewhat suspect to me. Despite having publicly unveiled storyboards and even portions of the film’s script in his own Sly magazine (read Nick’s take on that and more in his old pool of piss right here), this whole thing just seemed more … Continue reading
