Dave Davis and I are in Las Vegas right now, visiting the set of Zak Penn’s improv poker comedy, The Grand. It was 90 degrees at 7:30 this morning, but we haven’t been out of the hotel once – we’ve been watching Zak and his cast, which includes Werner Herzog,… Continue reading
Now that Will Eisner's in a coffin he's able to spin in it. Nah, that's unfair. The news coming down the pike that Frank Miller is stepping in to direct a feature film of Eisner's seminal comic The Spirit could easily be construed as a case of a creator… Continue reading
It’s not that often that you go to the movies and feel the magic of special effects. Most films have CGI effects that feel completely CGI – not so with Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest. People have no idea that Davey Jones doesn’t have a bit of… Continue reading

Forgive me if this is old news but since Devin and Dave are off at Comic Con and a Vegas set visit, I'm going to carry the news torch. Then again, it may be like a glass of nice cool iced tea since I'm neither a Communist or a pedophile… Eric Bana has… Continue reading
My "review" of Pan's Labyrinth will arrive later this week and believe me it's been one of the tougher reviews to write. It's hard to not to just fellate Guillermo in text, something you'll realize when you see it. This is the first San Diego Comic Con I'll… Continue reading
I approach M Night Shymalan’s films with a modified version of the auteur theory – I don’t think that he’s a great director, but he’s an idiosyncratic one, and as a result every movie he makes, no matter how bad, is interesting to examine. And he’s made some… Continue reading
