The new Amityville Horror flick looks like a blast, and the great thing about it is that it’s based on a film that had a notorious air about it but one that isn’t totally hallowed ground for purists. As a result we can enjoy both on their own merits. Michael Bay’s name on the new … Continue reading

Paul W.S. Anderson is preparing to add yet another title on his résumé of visually stimulating lousy movies with Deathrace 3000 for Paramount. Anderson’s vehicular carnage remake has been in the works for years, but got put on blocks while he was busy slapping around major franchises like Resident Evil and Alien vs. Predator.

Baxley, and I’ll stand by Bay’s aggressively energetic movies as the shamelessly idiotic entertainment they strive to be. Bay seems to be slightly maturing as … Continue reading
Samara, the evil ghost from The Ring, hasn’t upgraded. At the beginning of The Ring Two she’s still getting passed around (cleverly) via videotape – at this point that seems about as worrisome as an 8mm film reel.

I bet you clicked on this Penelope Cruz interview thinking it would be a preview of her upcoming big budget Hollywood action/adventure Sahara. Well, nyah nyah, now you have to read about a foreign art film. Okay, I got in a couple Sahara questions too, but we’ll get Cruz again in a couple weeks. The … Continue reading
