1. BLENDER – JUNE 2007 Ostensibly a music magazine, Blender is really more a somewhat music-based pop culture rag. You'll get your share of record reviews and interviews as they copy much of the look/format of England's far superior Q magazine, but there's a… Continue reading
June 15 sees the arrival of Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, which I find myself anticipating moreso than any of the remaining blockbusters this summer despite me hating the first film. All the previews thus far have surprised me in the best way… Continue reading
It’s taxing to love Anna Faris. I don’t mean personally, although I’m sure if I met her, something would occur that would eventually result in the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department getting involved. So, yeah, personally too. But I’m talking about the… Continue reading
A few days ago I posted a snarky piece about Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix moving its release up two whole days wherein I posited that it was merely a harbinger of things to come as summer films are increasingly under pressure to use gimmicks to… Continue reading

Since every summer juggernaut film these days – especially sequels – is swinging for the fences in terms of weekend and revenue records (“OMG! Evan Almighty is on track to have the biggest St. Baptiste Day weekend opening ever!!!!1111!!”), we’re increasingly… Continue reading
There’s something so appealing about the stale, outdated (They list The Black Dahlia as an upcoming movie of theirs) and old-fashioned feel of Millennium Films’ website. You jump over there and you get pixilated posters, sleep-inducing, low-res design, plus… Continue reading
Despite the rash of projects that Robert Rodriguez has been associated with lately, there was still a considerable hope that Sin City 2 would see the light of day sooner rather than later due to casting rumors (Banderas. Antonio Banderas) and other assorted… Continue reading
