If I need to introduce you to Jodie Foster, you need to go back to iamhopelesslyoutoftouch.com. Foster is starring in Flightplan, which opens everywhere this weekend, as a mother on a plane who discovers that her daughter is suddenly missing – and may never… Continue reading
It wasn’t that long ago that no one would even consider making a film about 9/11. Now there’s a race to get one into theaters first. Oliver Stone’s still-untitled film about the last two people to be pulled from the rubble of the Twin Towers has been given a… Continue reading
…and as Matty and his partner step into the shadows, so does this online version of Left Turn. Issue One of the comic will go on sale in December of this year with details on the ordering information, publisher, and the first look at the cover will be… Continue reading
It’s been eight years since Francis Ford Coppola last directed a movie. Or five if you count Supernova. But the last official FFC film was The Rainmaker, which was actually pretty good, if a touch generic for one of his films. Hey, at least it wasn’t Jack.… Continue reading
Devin: Serenity is going to come out and it’s going to do what it does. If it does well, you’ll come back for more, but either way I am sure Serenity II wouldn’t be the next thing you do. Is there another original project that you have percolating?Whedon:… Continue reading

I guess it makes sense that New Line would want a sequel to this summer’s comedy smash The Wedding Crashers, but much like the other comedy blockbuster The 40 Year Old Virgin, the film just doesn’t seem to lend itself to sequalization. But I’m probably just… 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… Continue reading
With guys like Steve Carell carrying the comic baton, Jim Carrey seems to be working on retiring his manic shtick and becoming all actorly. Joining the guy who gave him orange hair and squeezed him into a green body sock might not seem like the best way to go… Continue reading
