As the negative buzz crests on Fred Claus like Richard Chamberlain at the end of The Last Wave (labored!), Universal has stepped in and procured the services of Vince Vaughn for the next couple of years with a first-look deal that will grant the comedy titan… Continue reading
Let me be up front: I believe in Zack Snyder and his take on Watchmen. As much as I think Paul Greengrass’ version would have been amazing, I think that Snyder’s vision is a strong one. He gets and loves the material, and I think he’ll be able to translate it… Continue reading
I am easily amused. Though I'd like to think I have a highly evolved sense of humor, I am woefully susceptible to random gags and bizarre non-sequiturs*. And while I'd love to throw out some examples, explaining comedy is death; just watch "Homer Goes to… Continue reading

Ingmar Bergman passed away this morning, leaving behind his wife, Theater, and mistress, Film, both of which he loved equally and fervently. He doted on them, dividing his time as best he could and occasionally bringing them together when he felt they might… Continue reading
