Dodgeball was an enjoyable film. It was funny enough, and actually had a couple of really great jokes – I’m partial to ESPN 8 – The Ocho. But does it need a sequel? Fox thinks so. At least that’s the word from a scooper to Coming Soon!, a guy who goes by the unlikely name … Continue reading
Voice movies can be great for interviewing really interesting people about things other than the movie they’re promoting. There’s really only a few questions you can ask somebody about voice acting. How long did it take and how many sessions? Did you record alone or with the other actors? When did you see the character … Continue reading
I’m all for Elektra. Isn’t that just wrong? A movie webmaster giving it up in public that he is excited about a spin-off from a film that a lot of us felt disappointed by. It’s weird, I know… but I just have to come clean. Jennifer Garner. Rob Bowman. Ninja action. It takes less to … Continue reading
Discuss this here on our message boards. Nick’s List.Devin’s List. I don’t get to the theater as often as I’d like and I don’t have the same access to advanced or press screenings as Devin and Nick, so I’ve yet to see a few of the films populating their lists.

I have to admit, outside of the Lord of the Rings trilogy (and the Deathstalker movies, naturally), I’m not really much of a swords-and-sorcery guy. Which means that not only do the endless invitations to join the local NERO chapter fall on deaf ears, but the numerous fantasy films rushing into production seeking to capitalize … Continue reading
I know a lot of movie and comic fans aren’t particularly sold on the live-action adaptation of Frank Miller’s Sin City from filmmaker Robert Rodriguez. Whether they’re just not moist about the notion of a panel-by-panel reconstruction of Miller’s graphic novels using humans (and Devon Aoki), or if they were personally soured by the experience … Continue reading
While you conduct your search for the lost city of Tanis, may I suggest a diversion in the soon to be released found DVD of tennis? Paul Bettany is a minor deity and Kirsten Dunst… was in Spider-Man, so Wimbledon ought to be a film you’re aware of. Bettany plays a player in the twilight … Continue reading
The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou is the first Wes Anderson movie that Owen Wilson didn’t cowrite. This time, Noah Baumbach helped Anderson with the script but Anderson still called his buddy for a major role. As Ned Plimpton, Wilson plays the long lost son of the title character. At least, he may be the … Continue reading
Raise a flagon of hearty mead for three new reviewers here in Thor’s Comic Column: Russell Paulette, Rob Glenn and Graig Kent. Now, to the reviews, verily!
