CONTEST: RICHARD PRYOR DVDS!

Chances are your warped little mind grew up around Richard Pryor. The man was responsible for many guffaws around my house in movies and on records, and now it’s time to win the Richard Pryor 4-Movie Collection, courtesy of your good friends you love to… Continue reading

LOGAN'S WORD PROCESSOR

Bryan Singer showed up at WonderCon this weekend to start the selling of his upcoming Superman Returns, and he took the opportunity to tease us about his remake of Logan’s Run, which got bumped when he accepted the Superman gig. "We're finishing the script,"… Continue reading

AMERICA WATCH

This week Fox Searchlight FINALLY opens Night Watch in America. It was supposed to open last year, and they showed it to us at the Tribeca Film Festival last April. I don’t know what happened, but the film seemed to get lost in the shuffle. You’ve probably… Continue reading

BROKEBACK BASEBALL

Garth Franklin of Dark Horizons said something interesting to me last week when he was visiting New York City: “Playing gay is the new playing crippled,” when it comes to awards. I think that Garth might well be right, but does that mean a remake of Bowfinger… Continue reading

I LOVE JESSICA BIEL

Ravishing beauty Jessica Biel and her sinewy sublimity were enough (well, almost) to rescue Blade Trinity and Stealth from the realm of the unwatchable – someone needs to give that gal the lead in an action flick pronto, because she’s better built for it than… Continue reading

REVIEW: PINK PANTHER, THE

It’s quite possible that The Pink Panther has one of the most brilliant advertising campaigns of all time – the studio makes the film look like complete and utter shit so that when it’s finally released and the reviews come in, the consensus is “I certainly… Continue reading

DAILY GRABOID 2.10.06

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
