Stop motion is one of the most painstaking and difficult forms of animation. It’s too bad that Tim Burton would choose to spend so much time on making the characters in his new film, The Corpse Bride, move so elegantly and spend so little time on the story they tell. The Corpse Bride tells the … Continue reading
Let’s get this out of the way – this Billy Ray did not write Achey Breakey Heart. He did, however, write and direct the terrific film Shattered Glass, which proved that Hayden Christensen would be a fine whiny villain years before Episode III. Flightplan isn’t directed by him, and it’s not his story. He stepped … Continue reading
“Stronghold” presents yet another “chosen one” story, yet rises slightly above convention By Graig Kent There was a period of time where Phil Hester was considered a “hot” artist, back when the hype for Kevin Smith’s mediocre Green Arrow re-launch was all abuzz. But it didn’t stick, because Hester’s art isn’t just dynamic or innovative … 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
Around these parts we’ve rightfully heaped gobs of praise on British director Edgar Wright for his sitcom Spaced and what I can only call a modern classic, Shaun of the Dead, so naturally we’re always interested to see what else that cat has cookin’. Now Wright and writer Mike White (that was weird to write) … Continue reading
I flew home from Los Angeles yesterday, and while the ride was turbulent as hell, I knew I wouldn’t die, since Jason Lee was sitting in the first class cabin (planes with celebs rarely seem to go down). I caught him waiting at the gate, wearing that big ass My Name Is Earl mustache. He … Continue reading
I never really thought much of Rosario Dawson until I saw her in The 25th Hour (it might have been from previously seeing her in execrable messes like Men in Black II and The Adventures of Pluto Nash), but now she’s probably one of my favorite young actresses, striking an ideal balance of beauty and talent. It’s … Continue reading

Day One | Day Two | Day Three | Day Four | Day Five | Day SixDay Seven| Day Eight | Day Nine Fatigue finally caught up with me, and today was almost a failure. I’d had six films on the docket. But after the two and a half hours of Drawing Restraint 9, I … Continue reading
While I was out in Los Angeles this past week I had a couple of beers with Mr. Beaks, late of Aint It Cool, now of Collider. The topic of Noah Baumbach’s new film, The Squid and the Whale, came up, and while it turns out I liked it more than Beaks (who had problems … Continue reading
