Fletcher Munson: [sunnily, on homecoming] Generic greeting! Mrs. Munson: [warmly] Generic greeting returned! Fletcher Munson: Imminent sustenance. Mrs. Munson: Overly dramatic statement regarding upcoming meal. Fletcher Munson: Oooh! False reaction indicating… Continue reading
There's been a lot of talk about who will play Thor in Matthew Vaughn's adaptation of the Asgardian superhero. This summer I brought you news that he and Marvel were clashing on casting – they wanted wrestler Triple H and he didn't. After that came word that… Continue reading
The specter of a strike in Hollywood has been hanging over the world like an impending Category 5 hurricane these last few months. Terror has taken up residence in the hearts of the people as they wonder whether Transformers 2 could possibly be made… Continue reading
Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor love video games. Crank was essentially an adaptation of a video game that does not (yet) exist, and they'll be doing a sequel to that. Their next project is even more specifically game-related: it's actually called Game and… Continue reading

It's beginning to sound like The Goods: The Don Ready Story, a Used Cars-ish romp being produced by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay for Paramount Vantage, is essentially a reworking of August Blowout, a long-dead script that was partially cannibalized for… Continue reading

"Look at these assholes." That's the funniest line in The Darjeeling Limited, and it also marks the point where the film slowly begins to deflate. At this point in the film the three Whitman brothers who are taking a train trip across India come across… Continue reading
To say that The Seeker: The Dark Is Rising is worse than the book on which it is based is faint praise, since I found the book to be a barely readable bore. The movie's script, by the guy behind Trainspotting, believe it or not, at least has the kindness to… Continue reading
