The guys at Gearbox have done all right by their fans, from fill-in work on established series, such as the Half-Life expansion Opposing Force, to their original IP: the Brothers in Arms series of tactical WWII shooters. Now they're teaming with comic… Continue reading
Recent talk from Brad Bird this weekend has produced some Oh Don Piano vibes manifesting in the form of rumors of a sequel to The Incredibles. Specifically, Bird was quoted during press for Ratatouille regarding that film “I love the world. I love the… Continue reading
If I were Guy Ritchie, I'd want to be Matthew Vaughn right now. It's not enough that the Brit filmmaker's longtime producer has gone on to out-direct and out-marry him (Layer Cake and Claudia Schiffer respectively); now, Vaughn's MARV Films has just struck a… Continue reading
What's with all the non-Judd Apatow comedies being announced tonight? I didn't know you were allowed to make a comedy in Hollywood without winning the kingpin's approval. Thankfully, this one sounds much, much better than Man-Witch. Truth be told, I think it… Continue reading

Save for a few die-hard collectors, Indiana Jones merchandising (what little of it there was) never lent itself well to much of anything but collecting dust. At its most fervent popularity in the 80's, I remember seeing Indiana Jones play sets and action… Continue reading
The documentary Visions of Light, about the process of cinematography, was a revelation for me. It arrived just as I was becoming more deeply interested in the intricacies of filmmaking, and perfectly articulated core concepts about how to intertwine visuals… Continue reading
In case the other Warner Bros comic book movie news the last few days hasn’t been enough for you, now FilmIck is claiming that they know what role Anthony Michael Hall is playing in The Dark Knight: Edward Nygma. That silly name is the civilian ID of none… Continue reading
