Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Oh, I wish more people were as obnoxious and aggressive as Michael Moore. He’s just about the only one pushing back (other than Jon Stewart). I love to see how embarrassed those Wall Streeters are when he gets in their faces here. They should be embarrassed. But … more…
Are we entering an era of “the stalker as sexy”? We’re already at a place where Americans don’t mind being spied on by our government, apparently, if it (supposedly) keeps us safe. We’re already at a place where British citizens are observed by CCTV cameras everywhere they go even though the cameras don’t do a … more…
Oh boy, I’m gonna get a look at Lars von Trier’s latest, the now notorious Antichrist (opens in the U.S. on October 23; available on DVD in Region 2 on November 23) this week. I’m sort of dreading it, but in a good way — does that make sense? At least Willem Dafoe is pretty … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Can we assume by the addition of the definite article at the front of the title of this one that they’re not kidding, and that this really will be the final Final Destination? I guess folk just never tire of seeing teenagers die in increasingly inventive ways. … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… I mentioned a couple days ago, when I featured the trailer for Gamer, that it sounded like maybe Gerard Butler’s American accent had improved dramatically over its dreadfulness in The Ugly Truth. And here we can tell that yes, he’s been working with a voice coach or … more…
The movie won’t open till just before Christmas, but already James Cameron’s Avatar is being hyped to levels that it seems impossible it could actually meet. We already know, for instance, that this is the movie Cameron has been actively working to drive cinematic technology forward in the last 15 years in order to make: … more…
Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Fooled ya: this is the “trailer” for the fake film-within-the-film in Inglourious Basterds. It’s meant to have been directed by Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi minister for propaganda, but actually it’s directed by Eli Roth, who made the low-budget Cabin Fever and then helped invent torture porn with … more…
Have you heard? Universal has signed Bryan Singer — of Valkyrie, X-Men, and The Usual Suspects fame — to produce and direct a Battlestar Galactica feature film. I wrote a bit about my thoughts on this prospect yesterday over at Film.com. The gist: I don’t see how this can end up as anything other than … more…
