PITT SLINGS SIX-SHOOTERS

Now that he’s already twice ridden with his modern-day outlaws in the Ocean’s gang, Brad Pitt will change it up when he straps on the spurs and sixguns to tell the umpteenth story of notorious desperado Jesse James. Pitt, who’s surprisingly never appeared in… Continue reading

X MARKS THE SEQUEL

While the X-Files TV series lives on only in syndication and DVD, only the occasional mutterings of another movie give fans hope for another serving of their favorite basement-dwelling oddity-hunting FBI agents. While presenting at the Critics’ Choice Awards… Continue reading

BE HONEST, NOW

Filmmaker/beardfan Steven Spielberg has long been planning a story of United States 16th president (#1 in tallness) Abraham Lincoln, but is apparently now getting serious about putting the lanky emancipator’s story on film. Who does he like for the part?… Continue reading
