If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook (or MySpace, but I may dump that soon), then you probably guessed that I attended one of the public sneak previews yesterday afternoon of Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (opens in the U.S. and the U.K. on July 1), because you saw my post-screening quick-reaction tweet: … more…
I’ve been convinced to give Dream Cast another try. (Thank my brother Ken, who posts comments here sometimes as “Ken,” if you’re happy to see this feature return.) This week: Midnight Run, the 1988 action buddy comedy starring Robert DeNiro as a bounty hunter and Charles Grodin as the mob accountant on the run he’s … more…
It’s a bleak future for humanity. Or, you know, not.
We all know how it is. You’d like to get out to see a new movie this weekend, but you neglected to study the conspiracy theories about the Vatican and secret medieval European societies and so you don’t know how to buy a ticket to that Tom Hanks movie. But you can have something close … more…

Take a break from work: watch a trailer… Remember: It’s wrong — it’s totally wrong — to glamorize crime and criminals. That’s why John Dillinger, who was a bad man, a very bad man, is being played by ultrasexy Johnny Depp. So that no one gets the idea that criminals are sexy. Yes, this trailer … more…
This ain’t the real *12 Rounds.* Not the actual movie. It’s more like a storyboard. Or an animatic. That’s it. Just to give you an idea of what the real movie’s gonna look like. Man, you’re gonna love it, I swear.
This is sort of sad, actually. Not the video itself, which is a perfectly ordinary promotional video — it could almost have been an extended ad for the Oscars. No, what’s sad is that — as Tom O’Neil at Gold Derby reports — apparently this was meant to be an attempt at viral video: it … more…
A followup to yesterday’s Christian Bale remix: I find the demureness hilarious. Bleeping out all the naughty words? C’mon: what are we, fuckin’ babies that we can’t hear the word fuck comin’ outta the mouth of our preznit?
