As you know, talk of an Arrested Development film has picked up of late. Just this morning I saw Jason Bateman say on the TODAY show that it was "possible" for 2009, even though Michael Cera is very expensive these days. As a fan of the show – great!… Continue reading
I go "dark" for the week or so before my magazine is due at the printer each month, an absence prolonged this time around due to a computer nightmare last week (system crashed, lost half the issue, etc.) Mea culpa. HARPER is one of these films I'd sort of… Continue reading
So I've mentioned a few times the "robot thing" I was writing for another site. Well here it is! They're paying me and everything! How very exciting! Be sure to click on it from every computer you have, ok? Gr8 thx bai. Continue reading
I sucked hard at this. How about you? (via waxy.org) Continue reading
Do you want my long personal history with video games spelled out in detail? No you don't, because this isn't Aint It Cool News. (Not that there's anything wrong with that!) So short version: I'm a male born in the 1970's and have played every major system… Continue reading
Remember what I said here about Warren Ellis? Well ZAMMO and KABLAAM! Truly I am psychic, if one defines "psychic" as "the ability to predict the obvious and inevitable." However, my geek cred is shredded for I've somehow managed to not read these two… Continue reading
Finishing up 2000 words about robots sucked away my writing time as of late. But that assignment is now complete (URL when available) and so I turn my mind to new matters, like ZOHAN. It's a weird, risky concept, especially given the level of anti-Semitism… Continue reading
So my cohort Jenni Miller over at Premiere.com has put up a list of Bad Screen Dads that SOMEHOW OMITS DARTH VADER but we forgive her. The rest of it is pretty darn strong, with some unexpected candidates thrown in there. (Rick Moranis – for shame!) Check it… Continue reading
THE FALL is proving to be an especially hard film to catch here in sunny, culturally-isolated South Florida. The nearest theater with a print is a good $8-$10 worth of gas away. The Tomatometer rating is way out of whack with the IMDB rating, showing a clear… Continue reading
My robot research led to a revisiting of A.I., the first time I'd seen the film since its summer 2001 theatrical release. Back then the press was so very heavily focused on the "Spielberg does Kubrick" angle that anything short of 2001 meets CLOSE ENCOUNTERS… Continue reading
Scanned through HDNet Movie's upcoming schedule this AM and saw that 15 MINUTES is showing later in the week. This reminded me of a story… The director of 15 MINUTES, John Herzfeld, likes to rehearse with his actors – on location – several weeks before… Continue reading
I work – for myself – from home. So I can watch movies in the morning if I darn well feel like it, and still be productive by the time 9 AM rolls around. So today – as I have to do a piece on robots for another site anyway – it was BICENTENNIAL MAN. …… Continue reading
