Now this was a fun duo. Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting, the Bourne films) and Heath Ledger (A Knight’s Tale, Lords of Dogtown) were not only two genuinely funny and charming guys, but they’re also the types you know you could chill with and shoot the shit. Just real down to earth fellas. And thanks … Continue reading

The comic strip I announced HERE is a couple of weeks away, but people who wanted to know more or see more now have a little more to go by. We’re still massaging this thing, tweaking it here and there based on our own assumptions and the comments of the folks we’ve shared it with. … 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
Y’know, I still can’t decide what to think of the Doom movie, which from what I can tell just looks like really, really high-resolution levels from the last game. On the plus side, it’s got The Rock™ and Karl Urban shooting ludicrous amounts of ordnance at various monsters. But it’s also directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, who … Continue reading

The finger slid down the screen leaving chunks of dried skin, as dusty as Egyptian parchment. "This one. I want this one." The abomination pulled the ancient finger to its mouth and sighed, tasting. "Yes, … Continue reading
If you were to ask me what was the least likely TV show to be made into a film, I would probably tell you to leave me alone. If you persisted, though, I might say that Battle of the Network Stars, the 1970s “athletic” competition between B-list TV stars, would be untranslatable. It seems like … Continue reading

Now that genre will be reaching its pinnacle as Emilio Estevez writes and directs – stop rubbing your eyes, I said Emilio writes and directs – a movie about how the lives of LA strangers … Continue reading

I don’t know, but it happened with the TV miniseries Master Spy, starring William Hurt as real life spy Robert Hanssen. Hollywood is going to try to wash that taste out of my mouth with the film Breach, … Continue reading
UPDATED! The trailer linked here has been pulled. Look for it to resurface again soon, and we’ll resurrect this piece at that time. I declare 2005 to be the year of Heath Ledger. He was fantastic in Lords of Dogtown. He’s completely different and great in the (admittedly not that good) The Brothers Grimm. And … Continue reading
