I’m stealing today’s question wholesale from the Guardian’s Film blog, where Ben Child asked recently: Should we care that Kevin Smith has sold out? It seems that Kevin Smith has accepted a job directing a film for a major studio that he himself did not write. It’s a buddy cop comedy that was originally going … more…
Oh boy: Fanboys (opens in the U.S. on February 6; no U.K. release date has yet been announced) is about a buncha geeks who, a decade ago, made a pilgrimage to Skywalker Ranch to steal an early copy of The Phantom Menace. It’s sort of adorable, now, how much we all thought that movie wasn’t … more…

Fishbowl LA, in its coverage of San Diego Comic Con, notes that über geek Kevin Smith said, at the Entertainment Weekly panel: Geek culture is here to stay. And then Fishbowl goes on to snark that “I’m sure someone said that about Disco and Grunge…” which makes no sense to me. Styles of music are … more…
Another year of really, really crappy movies was saved, in the end, by a Bohemian storm, a magical ring, a robot boy, and a lonely mademoiselle. A feeling of the otherworldly permeates every movie on my best-of list this year, even the one documentary. And the weird thing is that most of these films were … more…
Like Nigel Tufnel’s amp, this one goes to 11. I agonized over this, trying to whittle down a list of about 25 great movies of 1999 to a mere 10, and I just couldn’t go that far. It pained me to eliminate some wonderful — and wonderfully adult — dramas from the list. The Cider … more…
