This review contains major spoilers, especially if you have not seen the original film. I never believed that Neil LaBute was a misogynist. His venom seemed equally spread out across all genders – the evil assholes in his films were just as likely to be men… Continue reading
The start of it all! A vampire with a mean streak and a zombie with a face of gross! Continue reading
The post-Casino Royale James Bond movie was set to open opposite Jon Favreau’s Iron Man in 2008, but now 007 has blinked, and moved way back to November. Way to beat ‘em, Jonny! Actually, I’m sure that Iron Man has nothing to do with it (but I bet Favs is… Continue reading
I’ve been really dissatisfied with indie film for the last couple of years. It seems like indie has come to mean “costing less than 50 million dollars,” and often big stars going for Oscars or cred. Mutual Appreciation is a return to the real kind of indie –… Continue reading

What the fuck was Peter Dinklage thinking? I like the actor – people have accused me of just liking him because he’s a dwarf, but the truth is that he’s an interesting actor with great presence. If he was of normal height he’d be huge – no pun intended. I… Continue reading
Crank is the movie they warned us the video game generation would make. It's also the best action film released this summer, maybe even this year. It's a hyperactive thrill ride that understands itself, its audience and its genre enough to not take anything… Continue reading

I didn’t bother running this story earlier because I just didn’t care, but boy, you guys do. I’ve gotten this one submitted a zillion times, so I guess the readers demand to know that Peter Jackson is producing a remake of the WWII film Dam Busters. Jackson’s… Continue reading
