Invisible Man is one of the most definitive and widely read works about race in the US. Still, Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man has never been made into a movie. That's not necessarily about to change, but at least it's inspiring an action thriller that hoists… Continue reading
Let there be no doubt- Shawn Levy is putting food on the table. Recently announced as helming the naughty but loveable labradour flick Marley & Me, speedy guy biography The Flash and some untitled project, Levy has added producer to the plate. Levy, in… Continue reading
So word is out that Disney is going franchise crazy. I don't know if that's news of any kind, since about every other studio seems to be going for the same, but Disney has some fat ones right now: obviously, Pirates and Narnia.Still, there's no better way to… Continue reading
Men in Black, meet C.H.U.D.. C.H.U.D. meet Men in Black. M.I.B, C.H.U.D.,proceed to copulate.Not to sully the CHUD name there, but Dreamworks has picked up what's being called an "action-comedy" spec script called The Secret Lives of Road Crews. See, all… Continue reading

I still think the rest of the world is getting a better title out of Die Hard 4.0 than the US is getting with the wretched and embarassing Live Free or Die Hard. Stop with the clever titles. The thought of the gimmick that's taken full rabid control of DVD… Continue reading
