I missed the whole Saw train. Actually, that’s not quite right. That would imply that I ever intended to catch the train, which is most certainly not the case. The concept for the first one seemed somewhat interesting, but the assness of the cast and cheap,… Continue reading
I was rather indifferent to the idea of Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes production company because for the first few years of its existence, it was simply a horror remake factory churning out slick, yet uninspired films that made lots of money and little sense.… Continue reading
Roger Donaldson is one of those directors for whom the oft-overused description of “solid” is actually perfect. The guy has worked steadily in studio pictures since the early 80’s, and some of my favorite silly genre flicks (Species) and small thrillers… Continue reading
It’s hard for me to get angry about the steady stream of puerile, unfunny flicks that arrive each year courtesy of Adam Sandler’s Happy Madison productions. These movies simply aren’t worthy of notice much less ire, and I think if they’d go ahead and… Continue reading

As the second Batman film inches closer to production, casting rumors are intensifying for the juiciest of the new characters, particularly current-friend-of-Bruce/future-foe of Bats Harvey “Two-Face” Dent. Both Eion Bailey and Jamie Foxx's names have been… Continue reading
Will Ferrell's upcoming New Line comedy Semi-Pro seems to add comics like Tyra Banks is adding pounds. Today, the cast grew just a little bit bigger with the addition of Rob Corddry of The Daily Show fame. Interestingly enough and much like this week's other… Continue reading
