At this point I would give up on ever seeing Factory Girl, a film about the life of Andy Warhol muse Edie Sedgwick. First, the film was rumored to have been wrested from director George Hickenlooper’s control by Harvey Weinstein, who has been re-editing and… Continue reading
I’m a fan of some older sitcoms. There are a few that Nick at Nite just don’t play all that much anymore, so I barely get a chance to catch them. Luckily, NBC Universal have come up with a solution, in which I hope they expand on.They just launched a new… Continue reading
Before the cornucopia of super hero movies that there are today, I remember sitting in my living room as a child, admiring the only one that truly mattered. He was brave, he was strong, and not to mention the fact that he was a talking dog.That’s right,… Continue reading
All of the critic awards this week were just prelude to this, the real kick-off to Oscar fever: the Golden Globes nominations. The Golden Globes are, essentially, a joke – they’re given out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a nobody group who only… Continue reading
Like most folks, I enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean. And, like most folks, I walked out of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest with my tender senses bludgeoned into the equivalent of a thousand-yard-stare and my bladder all stingy and numb. That was… Continue reading

George Clooney works a room from the second he walks in. Wearing a t-shirt that covers a back brace (that Syriana injury is still bothering him), Clooney entered my roundtable room at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel like it was filled with old buddies, like it was… Continue reading
Here’s a testament to Will Smith’s inherent charisma: I would have despised The Pursuit of Happyness if it wasn’t for him. The film is the story of a man who is essentially dumb, and it has a right wing anti-homeless vibe running throughout it. And that’s not… Continue reading
My year end Top Fifteen list is still taking shape, and there are still a couple of movies that I have to see before I make my final decisions, but I feel like the top five has already been set – it’s just a matter of figuring out the order. And one of those… Continue reading
There was a time when Gary Oldman was a thespian badass. Drug dealing psychopath, maniacal arms dealer, wrinkly, ass-headed blood sucker. Now he's taking bit parts in B-list productions about magic nerds, choir boys who drive tank cars and the mustachioed men… Continue reading
