You gotta give William Hurt credit. While he’s always worked with a Samuel L. Jackson-esque frequency, he’s been able to dip into virtually every genre in both film and television, and even direct-to-DVD, without skipping a beat or leaving any sort of… Continue reading
Somehow, I missed out on Soul Calibur 3. I think it was because after I realized how badly I sucked at number 2, my shame intervened and kept me from seeing any news about the series. Apparently, Mr. Shame has fallen asleep on the job, though, because I have… Continue reading
What the hell happened to the African-American filmmaking renaissance? In the 1980s, there was Spike Lee, Charles Burnett, Wendell B. Harris Jr., Robert Townsend and Charles Lane. A few years later, Carl Franklin, The Hughes Brothers, Mario Van Peebles, John… Continue reading
The United States is finally getting Danny Boyle’s sci-fi odyssey, Sunshine, in theaters on July 20th (the movie came out in the UK and Australia earlier this year). We’ve been excitedly following the film ever since Boyle mentioned it to me during an… Continue reading

Holy Christ on Oprah, if this ain't the most mindblowingly awesome poster I've seen in years! If only I had any confidence in director Hyung-rae Shim delivering the goods. I mean, if the movie is a quarter as astounding as the above image, it'd still my… Continue reading
Jesse Bradford seems like a pretty solid actor, so I'll spare him any further snark regarding his involvement with Swimfan, easily the most laughable high school-set thriller since Judgment at Nuremberg. Actually, I thought the kid might've had a shot at… Continue reading
Fernando Meirelles is rounding out the cast for his adaptation of Jose Saramago's acclaimed novel Blindness, and, while the material is extraordinarily weighty for a (partly) studio-financed production, this doesn't mean the director of The Constant Gardener… Continue reading
Supposedly, you can’t ever count Drew Barrymore out. Just when you think her career is spiraling, she quietly jumps back in her romantic comedy lane and lands a hit like this year’s Music and Lyrics, which, despite performing modestly in the US, did great… Continue reading
