Batman Begins, the rebooting of the Batman franchise that is the centerpiece of Warner Bros' 2005 slate, is already spawning a sequel. That shouldn't be much of a surprise to anyone who hasn't spent the last few decades in Papua New Guinea, praying to avoid… Continue reading
If ever America was ready for a film about a smelly hippie girl sitting in a tree for two years, this is it. And so it has passed that Baldwin Entertainment Group, the people who are bringing us the very good biopic Ray, has optioned the story of Julia… Continue reading
All these years after exiting Psycho earlier than most folks expected (if that's a spoiler to you, you might need to unplug your cable box for a couple of years and watch some movies that don't feature the Mandylor troupe), Janet Leigh has succumbed to that… Continue reading
It's seems more and more like the right answer to the question "What is the best Tim Burton movie?" is Ed Wood. I'm not sure myself, as it's been ages since I saw the film in theaters and have grown rather partial to Big Fish. Regardless, Burton's love note… Continue reading

Here's another name to add onto the list of actors itching to be cast in the long-in-the-works Watchmen movie. Brit actor Simon Pegg, the zombie-battling title character of Shaun of the Dead, is dreamcasting himself into the (potentially) upcoming film as… Continue reading
