  • Woolly Bullies pushing way into theaters this summer!

    This is probably going to be the best horror comedy since Shaun of the Dead. Black Sheep: A genetic experiment in New Zealand goes awry and the nation’s 40 million sheep become man-eating monsters. I feel guilty even telling you the plot. Imagine how funny it would be to be in a theater when this…

    The Best Bond Bits Bunnified

  • That was fast!

    Stunning! “For Your Consideration“, the latest Christopher Guest movie, was just in theaters at Thanksgiving and it’s out on DVD the week before the Oscars! Obviously, that was a planned rollout to coincide with the Academy Awards, since that is the subject of the movie. I can’t wait to see it! Well, technically, I have…

  • Movie expert brain, at your service!

    Robert Bavington and I have been trying to arrange to talk on Skype, which he can only do from his girlfriend’s computer. Since he’s in England, a third of a day ahead of me, we just haven’t been online at the same time. I tell you all this so that you can understand how I…

  • Nancy Drew trailer

    There’s a Nancy Drew movie opening in May. Biggest reason to see it is Josh Flitter, who stole the movie “The Greatest Game Every Played” as the little caddy with the big mouth.

  • From Fantastic to Amazing

    Ioan Gruffudd (Mr. Fantastic in the “Fantastic Four” movies) moves on to another superlative, playing William Wilberforce, the British politician who crusaded to end slavery in “Amazing Grace”. The film also features an astounding performance by Albert Finney as the writer of the world’s most famous hymn. The director is Michael Apted. The second trailer…

  • Not even worth mentioning, but I will

    If anyone cares, the Oscar list is also up. The Academy Awards continues its decline. This list puts me to sleep. Going all the way down into the bottom of the list, I’ve only seen three movies: Cars, Superman Returns and United 93. Cars, mind you, is such a good film that it should be…

  • Razzies announced

    The Razzies 2006 Nominees are now up. I’m glad to see that they call out “Little Man” as an out and out theft of a Looney Tunes Cartoon. However, I have to disagree with their lambasting of “Lady in the Water,” which I just watched two nights ago. I think the unhappiness with that one…

  • New TMNT trailer

    Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles – Trailer 2 I know I’m supposed to supply links and commentary, but I honestly don’t know what to say about this. They were making TMNT movies up to the mid-1990s, so this isn’t exactly like rediscovering some forgotten, beloved property. People still joke about TMNT lunchboxes and underoos. I think…

  • Shrek the Third

    The first trailer for Shrek 3 is now up!
