Dagnabit! I like a brain with my widescreen, thank you! Guess with all the studios hyped up on reboots (geez), remakes (ugh), and sequels (blah) , the cineastes inside of us that yearn for regularly-scheduled, intelligent filmmaking (a la Scorcese, Demme, Mann, Fincher, Haynes) that’s...

This is about getting more than my (our, your) two cents in. Film-biz-wise. I’m not claiming to know it all. Don’t wanna. Just wanna share, discuss, ignore, react, analyze… you know the whole range. That being said: where’s the post-racial love? Where, oh where, is our...

This may seem a bit dated… but then really, when high concept has triumphed over A-list actors, it’s not. Paul Bettany. Woody Harrelson. These two arguably gifted actors would seem to have nothing in common. Don’t be fooled. 2009 may have been a watershed moment with Bettany...

Yes it’s gonna hafta to be a new tag up in here. Folks that I both/alternately respect, for their hustle and success, and disdain for the suffocating space they’re taking up in the cultural marketplace. Who might you ask is on this Loving-Hateration (Luv-Hatn) list…? Right...

I dunno. He’s entering Lov-Hatn status. It’s not enough that Mr. Reynolds may have the potential hat-trick in ruining nerd-docious dreams everywhere… Being the smug-mouthed assassin in Blade: Trinity who just stares, lustfully (is this a word? IDK but it fits), Jessica Biel....

(Raising my right hand wildly while fist-pumping with my left) Can I be in this man’s FIRST EVER family film? Puh-leeeeze? In fact… can I get this dude’s career? Geez. Between the choices that Mr. Scorcese, Mr. Spielberg, Mr. Pitt and Mr. Depp got in development, there should...

Oh boy… will this combo really get the money and trust needed to make this thing work? The tech, the hype, the gore, the surreality of the epic? Who’s writing this “bad boy?” (hello, over here!) Will two parts be enough? Casting wise, will Leo keep his mug behind the...

Yeah, Julianne Moore, one of our consummate American actress (& I love me a redhead), got snubbed. So did the writers of 500 Days of Summer: boohoo. Are we really crying about Star Trek? I mean we “got” Avatar… and District 9! AMPAS could only have so many blockbusters in...
