It’s easy to see why: But still… It’s one thing when everyone’s fallen so madly in love with Zachary Quinto’s Spock in the new Star Trek flick that Entertainment Weekly writers are blogging about their sexual fantasies about the actor and/or the character. (I will never, ever feel guilty again for swooning over an actor … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Three years on the Moon, and two weeks to go? Oh, this can’t be good. That’s like being a movie cop and talking about how you’re getting ready to retire. That’s like being a soldier in a WWII movie and showing around a picture of your sweetheart … more…
As a followup to yesterday’s “oh-no DVD of the week,” someone’s idea of an “ultimate sci-fi collection” of movies, and at the suggestion of bill in the comments there, here’s a simple question that’s tough to answer: What 10 or 15 movies belong in the ultimate scifi collection? Anything that leaves out The Adventures of … more…
It’s a slower week than I would have imagined for this time of year: I’ve got only a few flicks on my plate. I’m superpsyched for Sam Raimi’s first big-budget horror movie, Drag Me to Hell (opens in the U.K. on May 27, and in the U.S. on May 29), and I’m glad to see … more…
Oh, you knew a joke about light-speed was in the offing: 1. Star Trek: $79.2 million (NEW) 2. X-Men Origins: Wolverine: $26.4 million (2nd week; drops 69%) 3. Ghosts of Girlfriends Past: $10.3 million (2nd week; drops 33%) 4. Obsessed: $6.6 million (3rd week; drops 46%) 5. 17 Again: $4.2 million (4th week; drops 34%) … more…
I am astonished by the adoration of American males (and perhaps males of other national persuasions?) for breakfast cereal. It’s candy in a box. Is that all it takes to amuse people?
This triptypch of short flicks about the Japanese capital by non-Japanese filmmakers is wildly intriguing to me, as someone who has never been there but would like to visit — I wonder, though, how natives or familiar foreigners would parse the peculiarities of these disturbing urban fairy tales.
You’ll love what someone considers as constituting the “ultimate” collection of science fiction movies: Escape From New York, Mad Max, Rollerball (the original, I’m assuming), The Abyss, Alien, Aliens, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Fantastic Voyage, The Fly (not sure which one), Independence Day, Journey to Center of the Earth, The Neptune Factor, Planet … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh my god, I am so rooting for the bad guy in this. Christopher Eccleston can conquer my world any time he wants. I mean, he destroys the Eiffel Tower? How deliciously evil is that? And probably all because some dame broke his heart once and told … more…
Last week over at Film.com I wrote about a new technology that will enable a single DVD to hold what now would fill one hundred discs. A new golden age of pointless commentaries and utterly ignorable bonus features is upon us, like, maybe: George Lucas’ “fantasy” commentary track on The Phantom Menace, in which he … more…
