(READ PART ONE HERE!) Robert Rodriguez actually left the room for 10 minutes only to come back with a new group of actors for the second Sin City press conference. Benicio Del Toro and Jessica Alba were not as lovey duvey as the previous group. They just got… Continue reading →
I didn’t catch any of the first Star Wars: Clone Wars animated shorts on the Cartoon Network, opting instead to wait for the eventual DVD release, and I’m glad I did because getting them in one somewhat cohesive package was a great way to see them.… Continue reading →
Paul W.S. Anderson is preparing to add yet another title on his résumé of visually stimulating lousy movies with Deathrace 3000 for Paramount. Anderson’s vehicular carnage remake has been in the works for years, but got put on blocks while he was busy… Continue reading →

Not many tough guys would be so comfortable poking fun at their personas, but The Rock goes all out. In Be Cool, he lets himself get beaten up, he plays his trademark eyebrow gesture as a ridiculous mockery, and he plays gay. He commits to it with no fear,… Continue reading →
We don’t usually get to see Joan Allen in a starring role. There’s only really been The Contender. Otherwise it’s been supporting roles in films like The Notebook, The Bourne Supremacy and Face/Off. Even big roles in Pleasantville and The Ice Storm cast her… Continue reading →
In the big-budget MGM flick Into the Blue, vacant fast-and-furious prettyboy Paul Walker and his gal, the dangerously hot Jessica Alba, play a pair of undersea divers (but doesn’t wood float?) who find a sunken ship full of valuable goodies. On the nearby… Continue reading →
