It’s Monday… and news at this very moment in time is S-L-O-W. What does that mean for you exactly? A news item about a film starring a "divalike dog" that’s what! Chew on that for a second… Now pray to God that Dave or Devin get you better news today. Bree Turner — whom some … Continue reading

David Cronenberg is a monster, and I mean that with respect. He’s created as impressive a body of work as any director in cinema. Over the course of a thirty-year transformation from artistically minded horror filmmaker to true artist, he’s taken genre filmmaking into deeply emotional territory, finally reaching a place where ‘genre’ doesn’t apply. … Continue reading
By all rights I should hate the films of Cameron Crowe. They’re all essentially good natured, and sweet, and about the best qualities of people. I hate that stuff. But what makes his films work for me – hell, more than work; Crowe is one of my favorite modern filmmakers – is the fact that … Continue reading

Across America something under 1 million fans are scratching their … Continue reading

It’s every comic geek’s dream: seeing Wolverine and Batman collide on the silver screen. Unfortunately due to legal entanglements (and the fact that Marvel and DC now seem to despise each other, or at the very least have a not-so-friendly competition), this project is as close as we’ll ever get. Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman … Continue reading
David Cronenberg is back from his time in the wilderness. It’s been almost 20 years since his box office peak, The Fly, and his films in the decades since have been either non-commercial or aggressively non-commercial (M. Butterfly hasn’t even been released on DVD yet). Interestingly, Cronenberg didn’t leave behind an ounce of his artistry … Continue reading
