Abel Ferrara’s early 90s crime flick King of New York is a great, nasty little slice that not only features Christopher Walken at his finest (“I never killed anybody who didn’t deserve it”) but also early appearances by a number of now-familiar faces: David… Continue reading
I'm going to base this conjecture solely on his previous film Brotherhood of the Wolf, but I'm gonna go ahead and assume that Christophe Gans' first venture in the videogame-to-film genre will fare better than the similar efforts of Paul WS Anderson and Dr.… Continue reading
What is this? Every single day of the week (almost), a new "Graboid", a single moment grabbed from a random movie, appears on this site for you to guess the name of the film, share with your officemates, or discuss on our message boards. Sometimes the Graboid… Continue reading
Imagine a project that gave the greatest horror filmmakers some money and one hour to do whatever they wanted? Wouldn’t that be the coolest thing ever? If you’re saying to yourself, ‘We have that, Devin, and it’s called Masters of Horror, airing on Showtime,’… Continue reading
The biggest pro of 16 Blocks is its simple concept – a old cop (Bruce Willis equipped with one world class poon broom) must take a wiseass perp (Mos Def, happy to have survived Hitchhiker's) 16 blocks to NYPD's 1st Precinct at 100 Centre Street. And of course… Continue reading

One minute you’re only familiar to fans of made-for-TV junk and bad 80s movies and Highlander II (the Renegade version, naturally)… and one critically acclaimed wine movie later, you’re suddenly working with Bruce Willis and Robert Altman and presenting… Continue reading

In March of 2005 the internet broke the story that Paul Thomas Anderson’s next film would be based on Upton Sinclair’s 1920s novel Oil!, and would star Daniel Day Lewis. That film seemed to fade away – it turns out PTA wasn’t able to raise the funds to make… Continue reading
