  • Say it’s not so!

    GASP! It can’t be true that Michael Moore is generating a false controversy in order to get publicity! There have been screaming headlines of late that Moore’s new anti-Bush movie, timed to come out right before the election, won’t be released by Disney because they’re censoring him. Of course, they said that they wouldn’t distribute…

  • Seinfeld-Superman special!

    TV Guide Online reports: FRIEND IN NEED: With Friends now history, NBC is looking to another Must-See legend to re-energize its Thursday night lineup. According to Variety, on May 20 — the final Thursday of May sweeps — the network will air The Adventures of Seinfeld & Superman, a special based on Jerry Seinfeld’s current…

  • Is this a movie review?

    I’m anxious to see the movie Super-Size Me, about a guy who ate at McDonald’s three times a day for a month and put his body through hell doing so. As someone who rarely eats at fast food restaurants (that means once or twice a month, and then usually only because I must), I don’t…

  • Van Helsing – So Far

    Van Helsing gets *** from Ebert and has been #1 so far this weekend, but 3 out of 4 critics hate it.

  • Don’t trip over the stool!

    I’ve always liked Dick Van Dyke, and now I hear there is a reunion show on Monday night.

  • Two words: Cree! Py!

    The latest movie from M. Night Shyamalamamalan, The Village, looks like it’ll be the creepiest movie since…well, his last movie.

  • I’m bein’ blaxploited!

    Mario Van Peebles’ new film, Baadasssss!, (Sorry, but that’s the title!) is an account of what his father went through in making the first blaxploitation flick in 1971, Sweet Sweetback’s Baad Asssss Song. Melvin Van Peebles fought the studio system, financing the flick via a loan from Bill Cosby and filing for work-related injuries due…

  • Hallelujah!

    One of the funniest scenes from Monty Python’s Life of Brian (and that’s saying something) is now online as a promotion for the rerelease of the film. The trailer is also online, though it’s the original trailer from the 70s. I’ve noticed that the re-release is being billed as the “Second Coming of The Life…

  • New Riddick trailer premiere

    The Chronicles of Riddick movie looks like a cross between The Matrix and Lord of the Rings, even swiping some visuals and concepts from both…but that’s not such a bad pair of trilogies to be copying, I guess. Vin Diesel’s played this part before, in the movie Pitch Black. Aside from an allusion to being…

  • Baseball in league with Doc Ock?

    Spider-Man Gets Picked Off Base Many people were upset by the decision to advertise Spider-Man 2 on the bases of a baseball diamond, as it was an encroachment of commercialism on the purity of the game. The design was beautiful and subtle, in my humble opinion…so subtle one wonders how it could really have advertised…
