Sometimes good news can come out of a strike, like the fact that Castlevania has been delayed. The live action adaptation of the truly heinous, dull and repetitive video game series was set to begin shooting in a couple of weeks but has been shelved due to… Continue reading
With his planned next project, Shantaram, delayed by the strike, Johnny Depp has found something else to pass the time – he'll star in a new Michael Mann film. The movie, Public Enemies, is about the great American crimewave of 1933-34, when larger than life… Continue reading
I am LOLing right now. I keep looking at the new Speed Racer photos that USA Today has premiered and I keep LOLing as I wonder what the hell the Wachowski Bros are up to with this movie. Why is Emile Hirsch dressed like Tron? Is Speed Racer on one of the… Continue reading
My opinion on the National Board of Review changed when I interviewed Roy Frumkes, writer of the immortal classic Street Trash, and learned that he was a member. I went from thinking that the NBR was a pointless, starfucking group to thinking it was a… Continue reading
An adults only trailer for Funny Games – Michael Haneke's apparently shot for shot remake of his own 1997 film – has popped up online. And over the last couple of days the new poster for the movie, which you see to the right of this, also showed up. The… Continue reading

The Golden Compass is an extraordinary movie for one bad reason: it manages to be both rushed and boring at the same time. The film blows forward at a breakneck pace but never thinks to make anything happening on screen in the least bit interesting. By the… Continue reading
Fans of Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, rejoice! New Line has just thrown up an extremely ribald red-band (i.e. R-rated) trailer for Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay! As for everyone else… I actually recommend that you give it a watch.… Continue reading
