REVIEW: FIREWALL

If you're looking for a film to make you believe in Harrison Ford once again, move along. Firewall isn't it. If this heist/techno-thriller isn't quite as rote and pedestrian as his last couple flicks, it's just as formulaic as you'd expect polished… 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

ONE BALL TO GLORY

Frank Marshall’s Lance Armstrong biopic has already begun shooting – for the end credits, that is. "I was there [at the Tour de France], and we shot on the last day of his seventh win last summer in Paris," Marshall told MTV. "We had six cameras going; it was… Continue reading
