Warner Bros. has every right to be confident in their tentpole pic for 2008, Speed Racer. It has name-brand recognition, though of what variety, it remains to be seen. It’s being written and directed by the Wachowskis, who still have a lot of clout despite… Continue reading
Everyone knows that Hollywood limousine liberals have a September 10th mentality, or at least everyone that listens to AM talk radio and watches Fox News knows that. I mean, we’re talking scientific fact, people. Proof positive comes in the form of a new… Continue reading
When people first started talking about Rob Schneider and what a sensation he was on the comedy circuit, I shook my head in disbelief as…wait a minute. No one has ever talked about Rob Schnieder being any kind of sensation, save for perhaps a burning one. The… Continue reading
When people first started talking about Katt Williams and what a sensation he was on the comedy circuit, I shook my head in disbelief as I’d only been exposed to his appearances as cast member on Nick Cannon’s terminally unfunny MTV “freestyle comedy show”… Continue reading

After Ole’ Nunz’ impassioned rant against the upcoming CG/live action hybrid Alvin & The Chipmunks movie a few weeks back, I chuckled and then promptly readied myself to repress all memory about this latest mistake from Tim Hill, esteemed director the second… Continue reading
Of all of the guys to play James Bond, Pierce Brosnan is the one who seems to have taken his post-Bond career the most seriously. He’s been happily tweaking the suave Bond image in films like The Matador (which he also produced), and now he’ll be doing even… Continue reading
