See below for the update! In April, we got our first glimpse at The Bourne Ultimatum with a teaser that was indeed nifty, but also half rehash of the two preceding films. Finally, the full trailer is out, and it’s slightly less action-oriented, but just as… Continue reading
For the longest time, Kevin Smith has been talking up Red State, his first foray into the world of horror. The story, still under construction, concerns a spooky fundamentalist psycho type, although I might have been a little redundant in that description.… Continue reading
I’m a bit notorious ‘round these parts for being among the very few detractors of David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence, and while I’ll skip the details so as not to re-ignite that particular powder keg, I will say that I’m at least glad that it’s helped… Continue reading
I love it when an actor finds synergy with a director and works with them on multiple films because both parties are usually able to up each other’s game and bring a level of trust and freedom to a movie set that you simply could not have otherwise. Lately,… Continue reading
Any time I mention Djimon Hounsou, I have to fight the urge to do two things. One is making any sort of joke that involves Digimon (thanks, Nick!) or Moon Knight. Two, which is just barely more important, is to not immediately mentally replay his death scene… Continue reading

If you’ve been reading the front page, you know that Hollywood has been considering a variety of options to firm up box office revenue and thwart the looming threat of piracy. One of the most controversial is the “premiere” day-and-date release which would… Continue reading
What determines the quality of a life? Longevity? Material wealth? Your cache of friends? Your legacy? What exactly do you have to or acquire to make your existence worthwhile? We’ve struggled with these questions for about as long as we’ve drawn breath, and… Continue reading
And there it is. He doesn't look cranky, mumbly, and/or surly. Perhaps Spielberg snuck up on Ford at the tail end of a rare moment of off-camera amiability just before he snapped this first official photo from the new film. It's best not to ponder these… Continue reading
In real life, Kate Hudson ended her marriage with faithful neo-hippie singer Chris Robinson when she got a taste of the supposed Butterscoth Stallion AKA Owen Wilson. Apparently, there’s a karmic price to pay for that because she’s just signed up to be the… Continue reading
