In The Constant Gardener, based on the novel by John LeCarre, Rachel Weisz plays Tess, a radical activist who falls in love with Ralph Fiennes’ buttoned-up diplomat. Together they head to Africa, and while there she uncovers a vast conspiracy between governments and the pharmaceutical industry, with poor and sick Africans as the victims.

It’s a Cronenberg. If those words aren’t enough to interest you in this film, you simply shouldn’t be getting a free pass from this site. After last week’s The Cave screening, I’m beginning to doubt you folks anyway. What kind of lame duck room was THAT? It’s like free movies and intermittent swag isn’t enough … 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
Terence Malick makes movies on his own schedule. It took decades for him to get from Days of Heaven to The Thin Red Line. So when his next film, The New World, is slow to the finish line, you just change the release date and be glad that you’re going from the end of 2005 … Continue reading

It’s great stuff – not as good as Freaks, but still classic. Apatow can dance on the edge of bathos but always brings it back with well timed and … Continue reading
I’m going to step up to the plate here and admit that I am confused. I really thought that Super Ex, the next film from Ivan “let’s pretend Evolution didn’t happen” Reitman about a guy who discovers his girlfriend is a super hero, starred Luke Wilson. IMDB, not the most accurate place ever, says that … Continue reading
Richard Kelly is finally getting some work out there for the millions of cult fans and hipsters who fell so madly in love with the man’s 2001 mindfuck, Donnie Darko. The first gig (as writer) is Tony Scott’s upcoming Domino, which may or may not feature a bounty hunter (I’m not quite sure as the … Continue reading
Just when you think that Casino Royale, the 21st James Bond movie, is just an excuse to keep proposing new Bonds, it is announced that the film has a new screenwriter – none other than Paul Haggis has been brought on board to rewrite the current script. What a coup for this guy. You know … Continue reading
