While I revere Clint Eastwood as a director, and hope he continues to make films until he is ready to break his staff, I haven't unabashedly loved anything he's done since 1993's A Perfect World. True, there may be moments of stirring visual poetry in Letters… Continue reading
You can't stop Ellen Page. She's already a Toronto Fest vet, having appeared in films selected for the '02, '04 and '05 festivals. In addition to this experimental teen runaway drama remix, Page appeared at Toronto this year in Juno (reviewed right here) and… Continue reading

Those open casting sessions for George Miller's Justice League film sure are turning up some fresh faces. The first to get some public non-announcement (WB: We'll announce the whole cast when it's bloody ready, you Watchmen deflaters!) is the top-running… Continue reading
By and large I don't like linking to images on IGN, not because the people over there aren't cool (they definitely are) but because the company splashes that ugly logo on everything. Branding an image makes sense when you're Getty Images, but not when you're… Continue reading

Jason Segel is late for lunch, but that's his problem. I'm on a mission. I've got to find out where Judd Apatow's Lakers seats are. And Segel – the writer and star of Forgetting Sarah Marshall, the set I'm ostensibly "visiting" – can either cough up the info,… Continue reading
The two biggest celeb news stories in my neck of the woods this weekend were the supposed Meg White sex tape (I don't think it's her) and George Clooney's motorcycle accident. Clooney, who already has a bad back from an injury during the filming of Syriana,… Continue reading
Over the weekend I wrote about Hotel Chevalier , the short film that complements Wes Anderson's new feature, The Darjeeling Express , and how you wouldn't be seeing the short in theaters. At my press screening Chevalier ran before Darjeeling, and since the… Continue reading
A new film being produced by Jerry Bruckheimer for Disney gives me deja vu not once, but twice. The film is called G-Force, which brings to mind Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets, which is being developed into a CGI film all its own. But more than that, the… Continue reading
Sometimes television can be a wonderful thing. Banished to oblivion [or The Valley, depending on which is considered worse], Jason Bateman has come back and come back HARD after taking the lovely Arrested Development and springboarding the leading role of the… Continue reading
